Gilmore Girls Season Six, Episode Twenty-Two: Partings
Lorelai wakes up on Sookie’s couch and overhears Jackson asking Sookie what’s wrong with Lorelai. Sookie tells him she doesn’t know what’s going on. Lorelai goes home and thanks Miss Patty for taking care of Paul Anka. Luke comes over looking for Lorelai, but she asks Miss Patty to tell him she’s not home.
Taylor is walking around town when he sees a guy playing guitar. There’s another guy playing a keyboard and the other troubadour is back. Taylor doesn’t know what the hell is going on. Kirk tells him the regular troubadour has been discovered and now other musicians have come to Stars Hollow in the hopes of also being discovered. Taylor tells them all to leave, but the next time he goes to the town square, it’s full of people playing guitars. The real troubadour comes back upset because he only made seven hundred dollars and got booed.
Richard and Emily are donating a large sum of money to Yale in Rory’s name, and they want to donate it in the form of “The Rory Gilmore Astronomy Building.” Rory is horrified. Christopher shows up for Friday night dinner, and so does the woman Emily wants to set him up with. Her name is Carolyn and she’s a psychologist. Lorelai goes to the bathroom and Christopher follows her to try to come up with a plan of escape.
Logan is graduating from college. Rory has the whole evening planned out because he’s going to be going to London. Logan’s parents take him out after the ceremony and Mitchum makes him late coming back. Rory has to go to Friday night dinner, and she ends up sharing an elevator with Mitchum on her way out. She tells him she’s pissed that she’s sending him off to London, but Mitchum says he’s sending Logan away because it’s time for him to grow up and he wants his son to use his potential instead of drinking every night and jumping out of planes. Logan comes back from hanging out with Colin and Finn later to find a surprise party. The place is decorated with Union Jacks and Rory is speaking in a horrible British accent.
When Lorelai leaves after dinner, Carolyn is in her car finishing up a phone call. Lorelai asks her if she has a minute, and she ends up in Carolyn’s back seat telling her all about what’s been going on with Luke. She says she is totally ready to get married and have another kid, and it’s making her feel like crap that Luke is making her wait. Carolyn advises her to tell Luke exactly how she feels.
Lorelai goes to the diner and tells Luke she wants to elope. She says she’s waited and waited and she’s going crazy. He says he can’t just take off and get married right now, but Lorelai says it’s now or never. She walks away and Luke lets her go. She ends up at Christopher’s place.
The next morning, Logan leaves for his year in London, and Lorelai wakes up in Christopher’s bed.

That was the sweetest most unselfish thing Rory has ever done.
