Friday Night is All Right for Fighting!

Show begins with Lorelai waking up at the buttcrack of dawn because she and Sookie were supposed to go flower shopping for the wedding. She's sneaking around the bedroom trying not to wake Luke (avoiding Luke, it seems) but Luke wakes up anyway. At the flower flea market, she breaks the news to Sookie that the wedding's postponed, and Sookie immediately assumes that it's Lorelai's fault again.

What did you do this time?, she asks. And Lorelai reveals that Luke has a daughter. Sookie starts wondering if her very own Jackson has his own lovechild.

What's really pissing me off is that Lorelai's being such a fucking big baby about it. She's too busy moping around being passive aggressive and just needs to confront Luke about how she really feels already. Hello! He didn't know for 12 years that he had a kid! UGH!

Paris totally lost her mind. She made a big stink about a freaking picture from a football game, argued with a photographer, and when it came time for the issue to go to press, a big blank box was printed in place of the photo with the caption that totally slammed on Paris the Editor in Chief. 99% of the Yale Daily News quits except for Rory, who didn't know that a revolt was going on until she showed up to make sure her story was submitted. A weird guy with curly hair and a yo-yo is also there, but he quits.

Lorelai informs Richard and Emily that Christopher is now responsible for Rory's tuition. Apparently Richard went apeshit with the Yale Bursar's Office after his check got returned. Emily hangs up so hard that she probably broke the telephone. Still, Lorelai manages to trick Rory into going to Friday Night Dinner to patch things up with her grandparents.

Luke has a hard time keeping up with his daughter, even buying "Geometry for Dummies". Lorelai's at the soda shoppe with Babette and the Stars Hollow gossips as they spy on Luke and his spawn.

Back at Yale...Paris has constructed a shanty of an office and she really really really loses her mind. Rory convinces the staff to come back because at this point it doesn't look like they'll make the deadline to print. Logan shows up and by some stroke of luck that only Amy Sherman-Palladino knows how to accomplish, they get an deadline extension and Logan uses his last name to get the paper out in time. They start making out and I wanted to barf.

Friday Night Dinner...Emily's outside painting moonscapes in 40 degree weather and Richard's too interested in his book. Enter Lorelai the Heroine as she forces her parents and daughter to talk to each other.

Emily of course assumes that Rory went to her father for help so she didn't have any obligations to her grandparents despite the fact that Christopher was the one who approached her. Richard doesn't like the tone of voice Rory's taken with Emily. The fact that Emily wanted to buy a plane (or timeshare it, as she said) came up again, and Richard and Emily start arguing about that.

They all become drunk at some point, btw.

Emily reveals how she told off Shira Huntsberger and they all haha.

Emily attempts to kick Rory out of the DAR even though Rory doesn't want to. Rory makes it clear that she likes more members than her grandma does. I'm not quitting! Oh yes you are!

Lorelai tells her dad about Luke's kid. He doesn't say anything.

Emily and Lorelai argue about how Lorelai and Christopher should have gotten married when she got knocked up. WE WERE 16!

And yes kids, Friday Night Dinners are reinstated.

Should be good next week. I think Rory's position at the paper compromises her living conditions, hence -- the "big announcement".
