Gilmore Girls Season Seven, Episode One: The Long Morrow
Rory wakes up and finds a gift from Logan on the kitchen counter. She unwraps it and is bewildered to find it’s a model rocket. She has no idea why he would give her such a thing. She goes to the newspaper office and finds Paris has set herself up as a tutor. Paris freaks Rory out when she assumes she and Logan broke up.
Lorelai wakes up in Christopher’s bed and goes to leave. Christopher tries to get her to stay, but she says she has to go. When she leaves his room, she looks like she knows she did a stupid thing. When she gets home, Babette is there. She heard Paul Anka howling, so she came over and fed him. She tells Lorelai she heard about the fight. Luke shows up when Lorelai is leaving for work. He says he’s sorry about last night and he wants to discuss things now. Lorelai says it’s over and drives off to work.
Lorelai goes to the Dragonfly and tells Sookie she and Luke broke up. Sookie keeps saying they’ll work things out, but Lorelai says she’s done, she doesn’t want to see him anymore because it hurts too much. Meanwhile, Luke is in a horrible crabby mood at the diner. He sees Taylor and Kirk doing something outside so he goes out to investigate. Taylor is having a red light camera installed.
Rory goes to the Dragonfly to be with her mom. She says she already misses Logan and doesn’t want to talk about it. Lorelai tells her about her and Luke’s breakup and says she doesn’t want to talk about it, either. The Girls decide to spend the day together doing something other than talking. Michel suggests they play racquetball.
Logan calls and asks if Rory got his gift. She says it’s great, and Logan says he’s so glad she gets it. The Girls sit on the racquetball court and talk about what the rocket could possibly mean. When Rory suggests they talk about Luke, Lorelai decides to actually try racquetballing. Lorelai manages to hit herself in the eye. That’s the end of racquetball for the Girls.
Rory goes to the market to get some steak for Lorelai to put on her swelling eye. She gets there in time to see Taylor’s demonstration of the red light camera. Kirk drives Taylor’s ‘64 Ford Thunderbird down the street, but the camera flashes so brightly that he gets blinded and loses control of the car. He drives the car through the window of the diner. The tow truck guy tells Luke he needs to either take the car out of the diner or he leaves and Luke waits for the insurance guys. Luke starts freaking out about people pressuring him to make decisions. He says he needs time to decide what to do.
The Girls spend the rest of the evening getting rid of everything that reminds Lorelai of Luke. In the end, the living room is totally empty. Christopher calls and says he had a really great time last night. He wants to get together the next night, but Lorelai says she doesn’t think they should see each other romantically again. Christopher is pretty understanding.
Rory wakes Lorelai up in the middle of the night and says she’s finally figured out what the rocket thing is all about. It’s from a Twilight Zone episode, Logan’s favorite, and long story short, the rocket means true love. Rory calls Logan and says she wants to come to London to visit. He says he’s already gotten her a ticket to come see her over Christmas. She acts happy, but she’s sad that it’s so far away.
Lorelai wakes up early the next morning when Luke drives up. He says he’s thought about it and he wants to elope. He’s packed up his truck and filled up the gas tank and he’s ready to go. Lorelai says it’s over and that she slept with Christopher. Luke doesn’t say a word, just turns around and gets in his truck and leaves.
Paris: I can scare the stupid out of you, but the lazy runs deep.
Also in this episode: Sookie and Michel arm wrestle and Sookie wins. Michel spends the rest of the episode with a bandage wrapped around his wrist, complaining about how much it hurts.
