I hope Rory and Lucy remain friends too, Tes.
Just read this ep title over at the spoilers board: Episode 7.13 - I'd Rather Be In Philadelphia. This couldn't by any chance have anything to do with Rory and Jess could it? Or Luke and Jess.
I guess it's too much to hope, since Milo has not mentioned making an comeback on GG at this point.
Also, saw some very cute pics from the ep Santa's Secret Stuff. Lorelai and Rory look so pretty in those Christmas-themed sweaters.
