It seems Emily arrived after both Lorelai and Rory got to the hospital, since they introduce her to the doctor, and she introduces herself.
Also, her initial expression, you can see she's absolutely shocked, utterly devastated. I guess after she goes in to see Richard, she shuts her emotions off and becomes robotic and pragmatic. I expect her to break down sometime later, when the weight and horror of this situation surface and overtake her. I hope they show it.
I also wonder if Rory and Lorelai reminisce about Richard. The last time he talked with Rory and what he told her he thought of her, in 7.12, was something very meaningful, which can have a great lasting impact, especially if she thinks they'll never get a chance to talk again. It almost seemed like his farewell words to her, to have faith in herself, we know he isn't going to die, but they initially don't.
For Lorelai, there are still many unspoken, untouched issues between her and her father. The regret of missed opportunities can be difficult to deal with, and might be her take on all this. |
