Oh, I'm sure it will be very difficult. I myself have a very hard time letting go of grudges. But it's what has to be done, or Luke and Lorelai will never make it past the hurt and the pain. Though, I wouldn't call it infidelity. I'm sure it hurt Luke just as much as it would have had it been infidelity, but I wouldn't call it that.

Tara Ashley and Blaab, I don’t think Emily/Lorelai or Lorelai/Luke should play the blame game either, but it’s all about how it’s displayed on screen. I don’t like it that Emily is portrayed as the “bad mean one” again, just in order for Lorelai to be the “innocent victim” who sees the bigger pictures and makes the first step, I never thought it was fair to Luke, making an ass out of him, nor do I think it’s fair how they show Emily now, it just doesn’t fit.

I do know what you are saying and I would have loved to see that one look you spoke about on Emily's face in that last breakfast scene. But I think because I really do not see Lorelai as the innocent victim and haven't seen Emily as the bad mean one (well for about 2 years now ) and did not see Luke as an ass ... but all of them as being flawed and messing up on occasion, I guess I do not have a problem with this ...

Another stupid question, how far is it from SH to Mia, now assuming they go to North Caroline (It was the state indicated on the promo, was that a spoiler or something?) I've worked it out to about 600 miles so I guess they have at least one stop on the way, hence the hotel room.

Hope we get a hospital scene with Luke, Lorelai and Rory, maybe even Emily sees what kind of a man Luke truly is!

Rory and Logan - I disagree with MA - I think this is finally the first time that they actually might be moving forward with the two, since it's an issue that will not only carry over to several episodes, unlike the others that were basically introduced and resolved within a single episode, but it also apparently leads to major life defining/changing decisions for Logan which will undoubtedly involve Rory.

I am not suggesting that there's anything more to it than there was supposed to be at the dinner he and Lorelai attended when the psychologist was there. At that dinner, it wasn't about the Gilmores putting Lorelai and Chris together. That just was an unintended consequence of Lorelai and Luke's breakup. But, face it, Rory is L&C's child and at important occasions involving Rory, they are going to have to suck it up and be in the same room together. And, if and when there is a reuniting of Lorelai and Luke, he is going to have to be just as understanding.

Stay out of AB's trailer, Jason. (The poor WB production lot isn't going to know what hit them.)

Again you are right. And yeah, we all make mistakes. But still Lorelai didn't point her flaws, she only pointed Emily's . and I'm sure that her own estragement from Rory should be painful enough to be mentioned.

And what bugged me the most, was giving Lane advise that her babies would enjoy Mrs. Kim lifestyle, like going to the church and bible course, because Lorelai always wanted to have for Rory a different life and never took into consideration that Rory could enjoy Emily’s way of life.

I disagree. I think the scene with Lane was the first time I've really seen Lorelai take account for her transgressions during the rift. She's finally accepted that Rory's decisions might not be her own. That Rory might choose a lifestyle more similar to the one Lorelai left behind and it might make her happy. I loved that scene with Lane, because to me it was one of the few times that Lorelai took responsibility for the fact that she'd done things wrong. And I don't think you can look at one over the other, both matter. And I hope, perhaps, that translates into things with her relationship with Emily, as well. We'll see this week.

I was annoyed with Lorelai giving Lane advice about how to deal with Mrs Kim, when she never gave a chance to Emily. Besides, just like Emily and Mrs Kim, Lorelai also was estranged from her daugther for months. She didn't show up at Rory's court date!! And she is only talking to her daughter again because Rory did all the work to fix their relationship.

Similarly, Luke and Lorelai need not play the blame game . It doesn't much matter who set off the break-up. It's more about forgiving each other for the mistakes made and moving forward with the resolution to make things work this time around. Because they love each other deeply, and they want to make things work.

I never cared what you call you it - I thought what she did was beyond hurtful and pathetic - whether it was supposedly tecnically infidelity or not. Anyone who would jump into someone's else bed the same night she ended an engagement/relationship is really, to me, pretty pitiful.

Morning
The extra place and the Gilmore Mansion, I doubt it's for Chris or a divorce lawyer, I think it's something on Rory's side, Mitchum and maybe his wife. Who says Lorelai has to be there anyway? Maybe they want to get on better terms and for some reason Lorelai can't be there?

Jason, have fun on the tour!

I'm thinking part of what Lorelai has learnt over the years is how much she missed by cutting Emily out of her life with Rory and she is passing that on to others, it might be the reason she has forgiven her so easily over the last couple of years. No matter how many times she wanted to cut them out they always end up back at FND.

Thanks for the info about the air dates, but I have to wonder are they changing 'cause they know something or are they following other sites?

and caf thanks for the mediavillage stuff, when did they spend time AWAY from Stars Hollow?

ETA

ITA right now it doesn't look like they have another fight about what happened, past is done, they are moving on and formally forgiving each other.

Just like the divorce, IMO they are past that, DSR is not gonna show it and we'll probably not hear about it again, like the letter and so many other things that were dropped.

Maybe this is all part of Lorelai maturing and finally recognizing her past mistakes with her mother/father. It is only through acknowledging her past mistakes and the pain she caused to the people she loved can she hope to make things better, starting with Mrs. Kim and Lane.

Craig, your avie of LG, so cute, I've never seen that I don't think.

I still want to see her doing something to fix her relationship with her parents. Despite of their differences, it took one little rant from Lane about how that would be her last party, because after her sons were born she would be like her mother to make Mrs Kim a supporter of the party. And this is something that Lorelai still has to give to Emily.
