I either see A, Logan not getting on the plane B, Logan sad and maybe moping around London so much because he misses Rory that Mitchum sends him home, or Rory going to London next season.

I fully believe that Logan NEEDS to go to London, miss Rory, but still get his job done. It's only for 1 year (as Rory mention to Mitchum in the elevator). I want Logan to showcase his talents. I want him to succeed and far exceed even his own expectations.

I think we'll see RL when one or the other goes for visits. Maybe, we may even see Logan return to the States for good half way through because he impressed his father so much... who knows?

i think mitchum is goin to send logan back to the states because hes going to be needed at a different paper..or something like that. i dont see him going back just because he misses rory no matter how much he wants to.

Maybe nothing. Friends did the long distance thing with Chandler and Monica for a while and managed to have Matthew Perry in every ep still. Oh...I'm seeing the finale next year with Rory graduating and Logan finishing his term, but there is a lot of work to be done and he's not sure if he can make it. She walks up to get her diploma and she's kind of sad because she doesn't think he's coming, and then she sees him pop up in the crowd. Aw.

I'd really like to see Logan in his new environment for a while though. It would be nice to see Matt get his own storyline for his character next season - they started to do that this season with the London thing, and I think Logan's angst over his future was my favorite SL the whole season.

My eternal optimism for GG characters--kept me from crying during any Logan and Rory scenes. Because it's going to work-out. I, personally, wonder how long Logan will be away. If the ROSE wants to--and MC's contract being what it is--he could have MC not come back til the end of the first half of the season. Which would be a kick to the junk, but Logan's return should be something momentus. Personally, being a big fan of the whole "DO IT FOR HER" thing from the Simpsons. Logan returning early--because he worked his ass off to get back to Rory--would probably get me as misty as Veronica Mars having people cheer her at graduation. That right there--got me like Buffy getting a Golden Umbrella.

There has to be a catalyst for his return - either by achieving what he sets out to do, or deciding he wants to cut it on his own. I hope they don't have him crawl home with the premise he's missing Rory, because that would just set back character development to the Cliffs of Costa Rica. We get that he'll miss Rory, they can portray that without having it drive him backward. Now forward into Mr Overachiever I could handle.

I see Logan returning after the summer.. How many months is that for Logan, 3 or 4 months?! That's long enough IMO, maybe Mitchum will transfer Logan back to America after those few months?!

If 7.01 picks up where 6.22 ended then it's still morning.. the same morning when Logan left.. It might be that Logan won't step on the plane..
I think there are many options open for Dave to use...

I would also feel good about Logan coming home as long as it is his own decision. I think it was very deliberate in their last night--Logan asking Rory to tell him not to go, to give up the Huntzberger destiny, and that he could figure something out. Rory didn't tell him, and Logan left it at that. I think at that time Logan understood that he has to leave to find his own footing. Now if HE were to decide for himself, and figure out an alternative to London on his own, then HOORAY! (I too am a sucker for sentimentality Jason.)

That's why either R/L will do the "long distance thing" the whole year, assuming DSR keeps them together, or Logan will be "recalled early", either because Mitchum decides to tranfer Logan to a US paper (for whatever reason Mitchum would deem necessary) or perhaps Mitchum has a "health scare" and is forced by doctors to "slow down", and thus he decides to bring Logan from London to take over some of his duties.

My favorite reason for Logan coming home early would involve Rory and Mitchum spending some time together at the SEG and Mitchum realizing that Rory would be good for Logan and his career.

I have a new possible scenario for season 7:
Logan returns, as planned, for Thanksgivng in a semi depressed state. After seeing Rory, his parents see him suddenly perk up. Mitchum, seeing that Rory is good for him, then makes some kind of deal with him to work at the SEG instead of in London and Logan never goes back to London.

Maybe, while in London, Logan gets an offer from a rival newspaper syndicate. He accepts it and that brings him back to the U.S.

OR, maybe Logan -- like Rupert Murdoch's son -- proposes some new media venture for the Huntzbergers. Something online? And Mitchum brings him back to head-up this new venture.

7.01. option A: Rory is sad closing the door. Logan is back in the elevator, saying: "I forgot to ask you something: Will You marry me?".. Rory says: "yes!". and Logan says.. "I have to go Rory but I am going to call you from London and We are going to make wedding planns".. Rory smiles....She says ILY, He says: "Ok, I'll say hi to Will and Harry for you". Later in the epi, Logan could call Rory from London.

option B: Logan is calling from London.. they are both really sad, and we see Logan in his new place (They need a new scenary).

option C: Logan didn't go to London. he is in the limo and his father calls, Logan is almost crying, but He is totally serious, and He says to his father, "I am sorry Dad, I can't let my family by my job, Rory is my family. I need a job here in US, I can't go to London yet, when Rory finnishes the school if she wants to go with me, I'll go to London". Logan is back to the apartment and Rory is in bed sleeping tired after that she cried a lot.

7.02. If Logan is in London, We could see he working a lot or we could not see him and Rory could be talking about him all the time... that He is working hard, that his articles are wonderful.. etc.. and then We could have a time jump (all the summer) until the next episode

7.03. Mitchum sends Logan back, the family bought a new newspaper or He need someone in the SG.. for example. Logan knows that His father doesn't need him there, but That Mitchum understood that his son has changed and taht Logan needs Rory.

Logan is going to London for a year because his father did the same thing. IMO, Logan, is better than his father. So, my story, he returns early, because he did what needed to be done in a shorter amount of time. Of course--his love for Rory--would be the catalyst that made Logan work twice as hard. Seems plausible to me, but so does the moon landing. Which we all know is a hoax!

And this is again why Logan is so reluctant (and anxious) about facing his future--he doesn't know what he wants on his own as he spent all his life being pushed through only one door. But I don't think he wants the Huntz package either. In many ways, Rory has been given more freedoms than Logan, despite his privileged lifestyle.

I'm hoping Logan realizes what he does want when he finally goes away. This ought to be his major story arc for next season.

You remember when logan was saying that he's going to come back on christmas and thanksgiving etc. well when he comes back from london for thanksgiving wouldn't he go with rory to stars hollow for some of her thanksgiving dinners and all. so that would give us a logan in stars hollow sence

I actually think if he told Mitchum to shove it for a time and went out and carved a niche for himself somewhere, say electronic newsgathering for the internet age, which eventually got folded into the Huntz Media holdings, Mitchum would gain a lot more respect for him. To me it's not about him telling Daddy where to go because he has to reject the money, poverty isn't romantic. It's a matter of finding his own voice.

Which is why I would like him to be in London for say 8-9 episodes, maybe come back around Thanksgiving. Then start branching off on his own. In something that Rory could be a partner in once she graduates, idealy. Cause really I want them to stay together. Thanksgiving in The Hollow would be icing on the cake. Logan in The Hollow generally is a wish of mine for S7. Just for the hilarity.

He will become a "kinder, gentler" Mitchum; or rather Mitchum with "a heart, a soul, and a twinkle of adventure in his eye."

While he is away, she will probably spend a lot of time with Lorelai, Paris, and possibly Chris. If at some point (Thanksgiving/Christmas) she gets engaged to Logan, she will plan the wedding with Emily.

Well, Rory will probably have some interaction with Lorelai over the whole Luke/Christopher thing, especially if her parents appear to be finally getting together.

She, no doubt, will have some interaction with Paris and Lane. Maybe both these girls will have fights with their significant others and spend the night with Rory in her digs.

Maybe Rory steps down from her editorship at the YDN as Doyle did. Didn't he say a senior couldn't be editor? And, she works more closely with the SEG, putting her back in Mitchum's professional sphere and perhaps bringing Logan into the mix as her boss or senior colleague.

Perhaps they'll be some follow-up to Emily and Richard wanting to name a building after her.

Maybe there'll be some academic story regarding a problem with a professor or maybe even someting "romantic," i.e., a professor or grad student she's working with comes on to her, putting her in a professional bind.

Now that she's more settled in a privileged world, i.e., the apt. she's living in, her grandparents donating money in her name, her father's wealth, maybe she meets a scholarship student who resents her and gives her a hard time. Sort of turning on it's head her early relationship with Logan. (This doesn't have to be romantic. It could be either male or female.)

And, of course, all kinds of stories could be introduced based upon her work at the paper. The SEG, that is. From problems with work relationships to problems with stories. Maybe she finds some dirt on Mitchum through some investigations.

Maybe she gets a chance to do T.V. reporting. Gets an internship at a local TV station.

Yes, I didn't mention this, but maybe we'll see more of Shira. Perhaps she and Emily end up having to "work together" for some charity event with the expected sparks flying. Maybe we'll finally see Lorelai and Shira together via some dinner Emily asks Lorelai & Christopher to attend for charity. Or, perhaps Shira finally knuckles under and invites Rory to lunch ... just the two of them.

I'd actually like to see Paris move in with her. Take the billiard table out of the center of the room, move the breakfast table there, you could make a bedroom for Paris.

While Rory isn't a "bad influence" in Mitchum's book, she certainly can pose a "distraction" to Logan. Again, hoping Mitchum will see her as a positive influence instead.

And really, Emily and Richard going to Europe for the summer? I think in my heart of hearts that Rory should tag along (thats what I would do, heh). Before she settles into the business of a "summer internship", if ever.

She graduates summa cum laude, and lands a job at the New York Times. She continues to be uniquely Rory (an uneasy blend of Lorelai and Emily traits).

If they break-up because of the long-distance thing, then that will be just lame. God. I hope hope hope DR doesn't do this!

I also hope DR doesn't introduce yet another man/potential love interest in Rory's life. Or reintroduce a former love interest.

I think they will remain a couple, but will have to deal with obstacles having to do with family--Huntzbergers and Gilmores both.

If Logan were to propose, seeing the Huntzbergers and Gilmores overwhelm the couple with marital plans could make them either fight, elope, or both.

Realizing that he wants to be in the same business, but do it in a different way. Which modernizes the family empire & makes it relevant for the future. I would LOVE that to be where they go with them. It's something they could do together too. They can be a great team as we've seen.

Maybe something will happen to Rory.. or she will be really deresed about something and call him while shes upset .. and he will be concerned and come back to see her. Im just hoping they dont turn logan into his father. U know.. itll start off by logan missing one of his visits, and than slowly gets more and more involved in his work.. im pretty sure thats the worst possible thing they could do.

I'm not harboring any illusions that it is going to be "all roses" for Mr. Rose when it comes to RL--he'll certainly throw them some obstacles and arguments and issues, or else the relationship will not be credible, especially if its going to be played out as a long-distance one for a time.

Good God, no more guys in Rory's romantic orbit. Can't we settle on one? I know I have. But seriously, with the LLC bait and switch taking place all over, I'd like Rory's storyline to be a contrast in focusing on making her relationship (with all it's addendum baggage; separation, family, school, professional choices) work. There's a lot of meat to those storylines already on the bone without tossing in some 'other guy interest' gristle.

After watching Rory get crappy endings season after season, I've turned into a very "easy to please" person. Just let them be happy with each other - is all I ask.

I want to see Rory in the Huntzberger's Home again, an dthat people treating her in a different way, I'd like to see Logan in a FND with the Gilmores.

I'm more inclined to think we'll see them grow together - with all the incumbent rug pulling stumbles inherent in that - rather than grow apart and go off into the end of S7 as having portrayed 2 years of emotional investment for naught.

We simply don't know what DSR is going to do, and there are going to be new writers/changes in writing staff as well on the show, so we really can't predict what the new showrunner and the new writers are going to come up with. Is DSR "committed" in any way to the so-called "ASP plan"? He's really free to do whatever he wants to do, from scrapping the "London plan" altogether, keeping Logan in London for the whole year, having R/L engaged, breaking them up, or bringing Milo from the set of "Heros" for one last "special apperance" of 1-3 eps. It will depend on whether he likes Rory with Logan or not.

Either we finally get a "proposal scene", OR R/L get that long-delayed tour of Asia as a graduation present for Rory. (this assumes DSR wants them together). If DSR wants to separate them, either we get that the "long distance thing" kills the romantic relationship, they remain friends, and we get secret life's wistful graduation ending, with R/L smiling sadly across the distance, and Logan walks away. OR we could get my ultimate nightmare scenario; which involves a three-episode stint by Milo on a hiatus from the set of "Heros". The eps? 7.20, 7.21 and 7.22

Here's a way-out-there proposal:
Mitchum gets approached to run for office. Governor or something, and has to give over the reins of his business to someone -- presumably Logan. That scenerio could serve up some great stories about covering a campaign, conflicts of interest, and possible dirt unearthed (one of Mitchum's mistresses) and dirty tricks....
