Gilmore Girls Season Seven, Episode Twenty: Lorelai? Lorelai?
Rory has a dream that she’s back at Chilton. Headmaster Charleston comes to the classroom and says there’s been a mistake and she has to leave. Then she gets home and Lorelai says she’s going to Hawaii. Paris and Doyle are in the kitchen having dinner with their kids. Doyle gives her money and then Paris sends her off to her job picking up trash. I guess this is a stress dream brought on by her rejection from the New York Times.
At Friday night dinner, Emily and Richard announce they’ve bought a place in New York and Rory can stay there when she goes to work for the Times. Rory has to tell everyone she didn’t get the fellowship. She gets a letter the next day from the Chicago Sun Times. They’re not hiring. She calls the Providence newspaper she turned down, but they’ve filled the position. Rory goes home to Stars Hollow and cries to Lorelai that she’s never going to get a job. Ugh. She calls Logan, and he tells her things will be looking up in the next few days.
Lorelai goes to the diner and Luke is wearing his blue baseball cap, the one Lorelai gave him. Lorelai gives him some advice about his boat trip with April, which he takes. He’s really excited about the trip, but then April calls and says she’s gotten into a prestigious science camp and won’t be able to go with him. She’s really upset, but Luke tells her he’s proud of her and they can take the trip next year.
Zack gets a call from a great band. Their lead guitarist has broken his hand and they want Zack to take his place on their two month summer tour. Lane is ecstatic until she realizes taking a couple of babies on tour would be really difficult. Lane says she can’t go, but she still wants Zack to take the opportunity.
The whole town goes to see Patty and Babette do a weird cabaret act, and everyone does karaoke afterward. Rory says the only thing that will cheer her up about her job woes is if Lorelai gets up and sings. Lane and Zack convince Luke to come, and he gets there just in time to see Lorelai drunkenly singing “I Will Always Love You.” She catches his eye and everyone notices that she seems to be singing to Luke.
I always feel awkward when people sing on the shows I watch.
Logan shows up at Lorelai’s house and tells her he’s been offered a job in California and he wants Rory to come with him. He’s asking Lorelai for Rory’s hand in marriage. Lorelai, as you can expect, doesn’t take this very well.

Wow. I totally have to rewatch this episode for Lor’s sining alone. When I watched it, I was watching on a US DVD, and the sound didn’t work properly, so there was no music backing her up. Yeah.

It’s rare to get a professional in whom you might have some faith. In the world these days, nobody absolutely cares about showing others the answer in this subject matter. How happy I am to have found a really wonderful blog as this. It is people like you who really make a true difference nowadays through the thoughts they discuss.
