Gilmore Girls Season Seven, Episode Two: That’s What You Get, Folks, For Makin’ Whoopie
Luke has just found out Lorelai and Christopher slept together, and he drives to Christopher’s house, knocks on the door, punches Chris in the face and then leaves. It’s pretty much my favorite part of the entire series. When he gets back to the diner later, TJ is there to help him put the diner together again. TJ wants to make the wall a giant stained glass window. Luke looks across the street and sees Kirk has put on a backwards baseball cap and is serving coffee and breakfast in the square.
Zack and Lane are back from their honeymoon in Mexico. They had a horrible time. Zack got some kind of parasite and threw up for most of the trip, and now Lane is feeling sick, too. Lane tells Rory that now she knows sex is horrible. She’s convinced that women everywhere are lying about enjoying sex and that it’s terrible for all women. She says they only did it once and she won’t listen when Rory says it will get better.
Luke and Lorelai run into each other in the street. Lorelai says she’s sorry, and Luke is all weird and cold when Lorelai says she’s not okay. Luke says he’s over it. It doesn’t matter to him that they’re not getting married; Lorelai’s the one who proposed in the first place.
Lorelai knows Rory is sad that she and Logan aren’t able to go to Asia like they’d planned, so she decorates the house to look like Asia. They make a bunch of really weird sushi rolls (fried chicken, Butterfinger, Jujubee) and then watch movies like Karate Kid and Joy Luck Club. The phone rings and the Girls let the machine get it. Rory hears Christopher leave a message talking about “the other night” and Luke hitting him in the face. Rory is angry that Lorelai slept with him. Like, really angry. I don’t really get it.
Rory goes to Lane and does that thing they ALWAYS do on this show where she walks around talking and talking about her own problems before she realizes Lane isn’t looking so good. Turns out she’s pregnant. She’s terrified and is sure she’s not ready to be a mother. Rory tells her she doesn’t have to be perfect to be a mother. This makes her realize her own mother isn’t perfect and she just made a mistake. Lane calms down and they start talking about celebrities and the horrible names they give their children.
Luke tells TJ he and Lorelai broke up, so he makes him come home with him for dinner. Dinner takes forever to cook, so Liz gives the boys Jell-O cups. Liz says she’s not surprised about the breakup because Luke never totally moved in with Lorelai and never told her about April. Luke says they just weren’t right for each other.
Liz finally realizes the oven is broken and that’s why dinner isn’t ready yet. Luke goes to the store to get something they can make on the burners. Lorelai is there. Luke apologizes for being a jerk before and Lorelai apologizes, too. He says they’re just not right together and Lorelai doesn’t belong with him. He says he can just go back to being the guy who pours her coffee. Lorelai doesn’t seem to take that too well and she walks away. Rory comes home later and finds her crying on the couch.
Lane: I do know that. Do not name your baby after an inanimate object.
