Christopher comes by the inn to talk to Lorelai. He’s been at his mom’s with GG, and Lorelai is pissed at him for leaving just because they had a fight. He says he needed space. Chris is at the house when Lorelai gets home and they immediately start arguing. Christopher tells Lorelai about the fight he and Luke had in the town square, citing that as proof that he just can’t deal with the guy being in Lorelai’s life. He says he feels like he pushed Lorelai into marrying him and he doesn’t think things are going to work out. The next day, Lorelai tells Sookie she thinks the only way to fix her marriage is to cut Luke out of her life completely.

Logan sends Rory a care package and she’s disgusted when Paris starts talking about how she “broke” him. (She also seems to be under the impression that Doyle was a ladies’ man before Paris “broke” him.) Rory goes to her economics class and meets the grad student who will be filling in for Richard while he’s out, and she’s clearly smitten. She runs into the guy later at the bookstore and acts all weird and flirty because she’s incapable of holding a normal conversation with anyone. Logan makes a surprise visit to Rory’s apartment. She feels guilty and tells Logan about her teacher crush. She calls herself a self-destructive monster and says she’s so sorry. Ugh, what is wrong with her? Logan placates her and says she doesn’t have to tell him every time she recommends a book to a guy.

Michel is in mourning because one of his dogs has died. Lorelai suggests he have a memorial, so Michel asks her to organize it. The dog funeral goes well, and something about the mood lighting and Zack playing an acoustic version of “My Heart Will Go On” gets Lorelai thinking. She goes home and tells Christopher things aren’t going to work out.

Lorelai, to Christopher: I need you to know that you’re the man I want to want.
