I've updated my 7.18 summary:

Quote:

Episode 7.18: Hay Bale Maze
Airdate: April 17, 2007
Written by: Rebecca Rand Kirshner
Directed by: Stephen Clancy

- There’s a town meeting. Taylor angers the town by spending the entire Spring Fling budget on a huge hay bale maze. April visits Luke. We saw Jackson, Sookie, Luke and April at the town meeting.

- Scene 4 - Day 1 - Luke adjusts to the changes that come with having a teenage daughter. April has given Luke a bracelet. April tells Luke that the Apache used to put little pieces of something on their arrows to they'd aim more true. Luke tells April that it's sweet and thanks her. She tells him to put it on and, not wanting to hurt her feelings, he does. April says it's fabulous. Luke agrees. They admire the bracelet.

- There was Lorelai, Gypsy, & Miss Patty watching the nice strong guys unloading hay bales, saying "thats insane". Lorelai is drinking Weston’s coffee. The gazebo being moved by a crane. The troubadour was there.
- Rory and Logan are at the diner and Luke is serving them food and they all look out the window looking shocked b/c of the amounts of hay. Luke seems to be ranting and upset about the maze. Luke's throwing the top hale of bay in front of the diner. With Taylor looking on. It has to be a Luke Rant there.

- Scene 5 - Day 1 - Dragonfly Inn Reception - Spring Fling decorations are everywhere. Lorelai and MIchel are at the desk, checking in a family (the Sinclairs). The Spring Flingers are exceptionally cheerful, which annoys Michel. They are mid conversation, Michel asking Mr. Sinclair if something is a rhetorical question. He'd asked, "Who doesn't love the Spring Fling?" Lorelai tells Michel to go sort out the room keys, then welcomes the family. Mrs. Sinclair says they've been dreaming about the festival since the middle of January. Winter was a doozy, the kid got his tongue stuck on their swing set, mom had to use the hairdryer to thaw him out. The phone rings as Lorelai is checking them in. She asks Michel to answer it. He doesn't. Lorelai answers the phone. It's ROry. Intercuts between Lorelai at the Inn and Rory on. Rory has a job interview with the Providence Journal-Bulletin and struggles with decisions about her future.

- Scene 6 - Day 1 - Commuter Rail Train - Rory is riding back from Providence. She's in a great mood. Lorelai asks how it went

- As Stars Hollow prepares for its annual Spring Fling festival, Rory brings Logan home to see where she grew up and shows him around town. Lorelai sees how serious their relationship has become and worries that Logan is too irresponsible for Rory. There's tension in the air between him and Lorelai.

- Rory waits to hear news after a job interview with the Providence Journal-Bulletin. Rory gets a job offer and struggles with the possibility of walking away from the Reston Fellowship at the NY Times if she gets the job at the smaller paper. Logan spends time at Lorelai's house, and he and Lorelai talk. They+Rory drink a wine together at CS.

- [If Day 3 is Saturday, Day 2 has to be Friday. So....] Gilmore Mansion looked like they just got done shooting there. They set dinner for 6 ... It's still mocktail time (no booze). There were only a few things for decoration, nothing that wasn't here before.

- Scene 20 - Day 3 - Saturday Day - Stars Hollow - The maze is in its full glory, taking up all of the town square, and extending to the surrounding streets. Townsfolk are out and about. A bus decorated with the Dragonfly Inn Spring Fling decorations pulls up. 20 or so Flingers emerge, followed by Rory, Logan, Lorelai and a grumpy Michel. Some of the Flingers are skeptical about the maze. The kid asks if people chase you. Dad Sinclair says no, it's just a maze...made out of hay. The kid tries again, asking if there are people with squirt guns in there. Ma says it's just a maze. But made of hay! The kid turns to Michel, who says he's preaching to the choir.

- Lorelai:"Michel." Michel: "There are no lights or music or guys with squirt guns. I'm just saying..." Logan turns to Rory...[missing page]

- The kid asks Logan if he likes hay bale mazes. Logan says he's crazy about them! The kid thinks that's cool. Logan and the kid walk ahead, talking. Lorelai and Rory are alone for a minute. Rory says that it seems like Lorelai and Logan are getting to know each other. She's gald. Lorelai's glad too. Lorelai and Rory look around, and see that the maze is a huge success. Townspeople and tourists crowd the area, happily lining up to go through. The Troudabour (!!!) wanders around playing. Lorelai asks if Taylor could've been right. Rory tells her to bite her tongue. The sinclairs head off and Logan returns to Lorelai and Rory. Logan says Taylor is a genius. They get into the line behind Michel and some Flingers. Babette and Morey approach, looking ecstatic. Babette says "whoa" a lot. [end of page]

- A pretty major turning point occurs in the Luke and Lorelai saga. There's a pivotal scene at the end. Lorelai is alone in the maze: it looks like she is searching for someone/something....At an unexpected encounter in the maze (that is a bag of food that Luke has in his hand), Lorelai and Luke apologize to one another and admit they both made mistakes that lead to the end of their engagement. (L-R) Lorelai (Lauren Graham) apologizes to Luke for running to Christopher after their break-up, while Luke (Scott Patterson) admits to having used April as an excuse for keeping Lorelai at a distance. Best of all, Lorelai utters the words we've been longing to hear since last May: "I was possessed by some evil spirit when I slept with Christopher."* Although the heartfelt powwow doesn't include any physical contact (i.e., smooching, necking, petting, etc), it certainly paves the way for a possible May-sweeps reunion.

Melissa McCarthy, Yanic Truesdale, Liza Weil and Sean Gunn also star. Guest stars: Liz Torres (Miss Patty), Rose Abdoo (Gypsy), Sally Struthers (Babette Dell), Ted Rooney (Morey Dell), Grant-Lee Phillips (Grant) , Vanessa Marano (April Nardini).

This makes me sad, and they are now trying a reality show!

back on topic - thanks for the "for sale" info, I agree it might be the crew but what if it's left over from the Gilmore's, maybe they had a yard sale LOL

and OMG I would love a dirty joke about the hay from Lorelai when they meet, to break the ice so to speak.

Mag you have a pn.
Wrote it anyhow.. so here it is

If anybody else wants it, don`t be afraid to ask

I actually saw that sign there last time I was on a tour. We figured it didn't belong there for plot purposes. But this was while they were filming 719, so maybe it was used somewhere within the whole car buying thing (though I don't think you'd put paper signs on cars either) and it migrated its way over there and someone stuck it on the mansion. The driveway also wasn't set up when I was there, so it wasn't like they had just filmed or were about to film or anything.

Mag...thanks for the summary! It really helps to pull everything together! And I still find it really amazing how much it seems that we know about the episode...yet we still have so many quesitons! I am really getting excited for it!

Thanks Mag!

I'm so dumb. I could have gotten Friday off if I had just told my boss that I in fact do go to church for Easter. Darnit!

Heh....I'm already bugging my hubby to go on another tour next week and so far he's not budging. Now only if S8 were confirmed, we could go all pick a date and go on tour...the whole lot of us CIPs could invade the WB/GG studios all day and it would be so much fun!

Solidarity Sister · 04-04-2007, 01:30 PM

I am looking for a great LL avi, as I am getting close to having my own. And I know that there was a discussion or at least a link given earlier, but now I can't find it. Can someone help?
