Thanks for the promo Jo and Cap.

Thanks for the spoiler too, will be very interesting to see how Lorelai comes to write the character reference letter for Luke. Reminds me of their scene in 402 with the lawyers.

I think , if anything, him standing up to Anna and him smiling so much with the baby is showing that he's going to fight for what he wants with Lorelai now...but I wish it were Lorelai fighting and not just off in loopyLorelaiLand with Christopher all the time

I hope we actually get to HEAR some of the letter and its not just Chris being pissy and we don't know why.....

I don't think Luke's going to be fighting for lorelai. If anything, it'll just be to show how he's still her friend, etc.

Lorelai will fight eventually, she has to if we're ever going to het LL back again.

thanks so much for answering my question. I get it now.

Tried to pull together a quick recap, it's a bit out of order. Hope I got the main points - people feel free to add, it's from memory. Already did the Rory scenes above (very few):

Opening scene is FND, we discover that Lorelai told her parents about the elopement in an answering machine message. Emily and Rory's faces are both priceless. Emily replays the message - twice.

C/L in the CS, Lorelai is going into town and makes up excuses why C needn't come with her, he calls her on it, they go together.

Diner scene - place is full of people knitting. TJ comes in and tells Luke that Liz is having her baby at home. TJ leaves, Luke walks him to the door, sees C/L across the street, slams the door (from promo) and shouts no more knitting, the diner is now a knitting-free zone. Grumpy Luke is back. It's sad.

C/L bump into Miss Patty and Babette, who give them the "welcome wagon" stuff.

C/L in CS - the global promo scene where lorelai says it's not a welcome wagon, it's a 'we're tolerating you' wagon.

Lorelai/Sookie scene, Lorelai asks Sookie's help in getting the town to accept Christopher. Lorelai actually mentions Luke's name. Lorelai says something like she knows what Sookie thinks but she needs her friend's help and Sookie caves. They set up a "man date" for Christopher and Jackson.

Anna comes to the diner, asks to talk to Luke privately, they go upstairs. She tells him she's moving to New Mexico.

We see the "man date" in a bar, watching a ballgame on an overhead TV. It's a bit awkward. Jackson gives this pointed speech to Christopher about being a farmer meaning commitment and always being there, how he and Sookie are committed - don't remember exactly but at the end of the ep, C quotes it almost word for word to L.

There's a scene with April/Luke, it starts in the diner, April is doing her homework but she's upset and starts shouting about not wanting to move to New Mexico. How this year finally she has friends and isn't that nerd kid any more. Luke takes her outside, they end up sitting on a bench with him comforting her.

Somewhere there's a second scene with Luke and Anna in a coffee shop talking more about her and April's move. He tells her April is upset about the move, suggests that April could stay with him to finish the year. Anna nixes that. Then she refuses to even agree to April visiting Luke in the holidays - says these are her decisions. Luke is all understanding - watching, you kind of want to kick him out of it.

Knit-a-thon - funny scene with Taylor starting a speech but Kirk interrupts that he really has only 29 seconds not 3 minutes left or something - the whole town ends up shouting out the countdown. Some knitting scenes, it switches to a few hours later, everyone is cold, Christopher donates the rest of the money and the knitters pack up. Lorelai tries to get everyone to keep knitting but they all leave. C/L have a discussion about it, she tells him he doesn't understand what SH is.

Luke gets a phonecall (sides) and goes to Liz, very cute scene with him holding the baby who seems to be staring at him. Realization dawns.

Last scene is Luke turns up at Anna's and tells her he's April's father, he missed her birth, missed her first steps, etc, and she can't just do this, April's both their kid he'll fight her if he has to. (I can't resist - YAY)

eta: The 2002 party includes a Paris dancing (with Doyle) scene that's awesome.

eta2: When C/L are walking home, Christopher repeats Jackson's "I'll always be here" speech, almost word-for-word. L says ILY and kisses him. (yeah, forgetting that was probably a Freudian slip on my part.)

I don't think that Luke will be fighting for Lorelai. Or at least I hope not. If they get back together, I think that it has to be because Lorelai realizes that Luke is the one for her. Not because Luke chases after her. YMMV.

Lorelai&Luke<3 · 11-28-2006, 08:23 PM

I loved Luke standing up for himself... and i REALLLY can't wait for nect weeks episode.. I'm stolked! I love the Lorelai and Chris problems, and L&L goodness...

And i agree, when L&L get back together (which the def. do... right?) I don't want luke to be the one chasing after her, i mean i want him to still love her and know he wants her back, but i dont want him to chase her, i want her to go back to him, and realize what she was missing with chris...

and with all of the I love you's between LC... what's up with that.? i mean is she being serious? and like what is she gunna say when its off with him, i didnt love you i just needed to think i loved someone? I mean like she says it a lot to him, and i dont get it, if shes saying that, then why does she and luke get back together? (not that im complaining they get back together, haha)

tazzded · 11-28-2006, 08:23 PM

Thanks Caf. The ep is much clearer now.

Half an hour more for me yeah

She does love Chris, but its not the same. It's nostalgic, it's not deep or anything like what her and Luke had and will have again. It's just there... and she keeps saying it because she has to say it to believe it, imo. Those ILYs Lorelai's saying are just as much for Lorelai as for Chris. She needs to hear herself say that. But she does love him. but it's the kind of love, and how much she loves him that'll be why CL can be done.

ITA - it's Lorelai's turn to go for Luke now.

Great re-cap caf, sad Luke. Sound like Luke is more pissed at the knitting than C&L but I'll have to wait till I see it.

gjoni · 11-28-2006, 08:37 PM

Thanks for the recap, Caf. Sounds like a packed episode.
I also specced Chris was going to donate the money they were hoping to raise, and that was what cut the event short. I wonder what Lorelai sounded like when she told him he doesn't get SH.

Thanks Katie for bringing over Nicolalala's 7.12 info. Call me Horton, I know it's my own horn I keep hooting, but back when the 7.10 info about Luke getting a lawyer was posted (again nicolalala), I specced this (but thought it would happen in 7.10):
"So that's what the lawyer in 7.10 is for. I'm so happy about this. And maybe the small but good LL thing is Lorelai giving a positive deposition about Luke's capabilities as a loving and responsible father."

Maybe I should go a few steps further speccing positive stuff for LL....

Nah, can't just yet, still too pessimistic about their outcome.

Thanks bella for the tvguide scans.
And I was sorry to read about MA's grandmother on his blog.

I think the only thing you wonder about here is why Lor still insists on acting like a child with her parents, even though she's now married and supposedly "settled." Is it just a visceral, automatic reaction, or is it something she does on purpose? It's now starting to look silly, considering Lorelai's just short of 40. At 31, it was cute. At 38? Not really.
