Episode starts off with Richard at Lorelai's doorstep with the dollhouse...the continuation from last week. Richard wants to talk to Lorelai about Rory, and one can tell Lorelai is not pleased. What's weird is that Richard makes no mention of "Lorelai, you're right. Mr. Huntzberger's an ass..." Richard wants Rory to go back to Yale, but he wants to bribe her either with a new car or with giving her her trust fund money early (as opposed to when she's 25). Lorelai's not having it because she knows that's not the way to go. Rory likes school and she needs to get that back. Richard leaves, pissed off. Meanwhile, Luke tries in vain to move the dollhouse into the house but it's too heavy. After a few minutes Lorelai lets him know that the roof comes off.
Then comes Rory's freaky dream sequence. Enter Madeleine Albright. Remember Rory's bday from years ago and how her mom makes it tradition of getting into bed with Rory at 4am to commemorate the time she was born? Well, Rory dreams that the former Secretary of State is her mom. Madeleine Albright compares Rory's birth to squatting over pieces of dynamite. FREAKING HILARIOUS.
Lorelai runs into Babette and her man buying supplies for Halloween. They're constructing gallows in their front yard.
Rory and Logan are sucking face in the pool house and Emily interrupts them. She asks Logan if they had plans for Rory's 21st bday. Emily wants to throw Rory a party and Rory reluctantly agrees, even though she and her mom had been planning for her 21st since she was 5 years old. Their plan was to go to Atlantic City, sit at the blackjack table and start playing at 11:59pm while drinking martinis...playing 21 when she turned 21. They were going to use their winnings to buy 21 things. There was this thing that included 21 guys, which would be inappropriate now considering there's Logan and Luke. You can tell Rory's starting to feel some kind of remorse. But eh, she proceeds to continue sucking face with Logan.
Emily's busy planning every detail of the party. She remembers how her own invitations for her 21st had real pearls. Rory's will have lace. Emily keeps calling Lane "Rory's Asian friend" and Rory keeps saying "LANE". The guest list is being constructed and Emily asks if Rory wants Lorelai's name on the list. DUH, Emily. Chocolate Praline Crunch Cake will be the birthday cake.
Using Babette and Morty's sick Halloween thing as inspiration, she decides not to do the usual hanging caramel apples from the trees. Instead she wants to be a mad scientist skit in her yard, using Luke as her patient. She wants to use link sausages to represent Luke's entrails. She goes to Sookie for prime sausage selection.
Emily and Richard are freaking out that Rory's having sex and the fact that Logan's quite the experienced young man so they call in a priest. They don't want Rory having "serious relations with the boy". So the priest comes to dinner (mmmm...pot roast and mashed potatoes) and he compares her virginity to a gift. "It's a gift you can only give to one man...if you give it away to soon to the wrong man, when the right one comes along, you won't have a gift to give, you'll have to give a sweater!" Rory informs the priest that the gift has been given and that it's probably in Fiji by now. She then asks if he's already seen "The 40 Year Old Virgin".
After the g-parents find out Rory's been screwing already, they fill the poolhouse with their knickknacks and doodads so Rory will have to move back into the main house, preferably in the bedroom next to theirs.
Rory discovers that Lorelai has not RSVP'ed to the party. Lorelai hasn't RSVP'ed because she didn't know that Rory was the one who sent the invite...she thought it was Emily. Rory throws a tantrum about how she won't have a chocolate box and proceeds to call Luke's screaming. Lorelai finds out that it was Rory who sent the invite and is excited to go. Luke's trippin' because he's never heard Rory use the word 'HELL'.
The day of her birthday arrives and the clock shows the time she was born. Both mom and daughter are in separate beds.
Her birthday party is quite the affair. Emily even gets the bartender to concoct a special drink named after Rory. It's pink and it looks nice, but apparently it tastes like ass.
Lane and Logan finally meet. Lane brings Zack and Rory tells Lane that the guest soap in the bathroom has her face on it. Paris is also there with Doyle, and guess who's the new editor of the Yale Daily News? PARIS -- "Last year I was sleeping with the editor..." DOYLE -- "And this year I am"
Lorelai initiates convo with Rory with "Hey birthday girl..." You'd think that the convo would continue but Doyle and Paris can't shut up about cracking whips, and next thing you know...Rory digs out.
Meanwhile, Richard is nowhere to be found. He's in his study -- pissed off because he thinks he's failed as Rory's guardian. They just don't want Rory to get knocked up early...you know, like Lorelai.
Luke gives Rory a really pretty present -- a necklace and pearl pendant that belonged to his mother. Rory introduces Luke to some DAR chick as "my step-father to be". Luke, however...has no clue what the DAR stands for and manages to get a tee hee hee har har because he doesn't know what DAR means.
Lorelai tells Rory about Paul Anka (Rory's surprised he's still alive), the construction at the house, and how they're going to live in the house. Rory tells her mom that her community service hours are getting smaller....and that a lot has changed.
Just when you think mom and daughter's convo's going well...they bring out her birthday cake. I'm hating this shitty timing. And with that...Lorelai's ready to go home. It's okay, Lorelai. Just take baby steps.
On their way home, Luke lets her know that she can pull link sausages out of him if she wants.
Trailers for upcoming episodes show Jess' return. Jess is heard yelling at Rory: "What's going on? Living at your grandparents' place? Going out with this jerk? This isn't you!"
Announcer dude talks about Rory's fairytale life, but Jess' return makes her question all of that.
JESS IS BACK. OH YEAH.
