So is Lorelai wearing a ring when she waves to Luke in the promo?

There's a scene right before she waves where her hands are in front of her...and I paused it and I swear I see no ring. But I don't know...

Thanks, Melodie!

I've watched it a couple of times now and I really can't tell. I tape in low quality to fit more on my tapes, so that doesn't make it any easier. There is a part where she kind of moves her hands quickly where I feel like the ring would reflect/shine if she was wearing it and I can't see anything. But really, I can't tell for sure.

I'd be surprised if she wasn't wearing it, though. Not unhappy, just surprised. Because doesn't it seem that the L/C convo will happen at the end of 7.14? And I don't think she would take it off before that.

Maybe we'll be able to tell better when we get the promo online?

That wave and look Luke and Lorelai share has more chemistry in it than all of the Chris and Lorelai scenes combind.

No kidding. It's such a sweet wave. It's like Lorelai's saying "I really want to come in and talk to you" and it's like he's saying "I understand that you can't come in"...

I went back and looked, but I can't tell if she still has the ring on. I'm leaning towards no, but I just don't know. I guess if someone can zoom in on it we would be able to tell. I just don't have that capability.

That look through the window is really sweet and I was also struck by how pretty Lorelai looks there. *sigh* It's not fair that some people get hit so many times by the pretty stick.

Was this bought over yet?

Matt Roush - TV Guide

Quote:
A warm thought for the deep chill of winter: Even in the doldrums of a miserable season, Gilmore Girls proves that it’s still capable of greatness. This week’s episode returned to its core, the electrifying dynamic among three generations of Gilmore women, balancing humor with searing flashes of drama in an episode incomparably illuminated by the welcome return of Kelly Bishop’s imperious, hilarious, monstrous yet ultimately oh-so-human Emily Gilmore.

It seems like ages since we’ve seen Bishop at her best. And no mistake about it, she was at her best this week, rising to the occasion when Emily’s husband, Richard (the estimable Edward Herrmann), is felled with a heart attack. Bossing around the hospital staff, railing against the incompetence of any poor health-club or service worker who has the bad luck to come up against her, she is a riot. And as Lorelai and Rory sit in amused horror, we know deep down all will be well because they’re all together again.

The episode builds to a wrenching confrontation in the most banal of settings (a hospital gift shop) when Lorelai confronts her mother over Emily's seeming detachment: getting a will (and a living will) faxed to the hospital, canceling dinner reservations, ordering what sounds like a small inlet’s worth of fish to be delivered to the house. Emily rightly puts Lorelai in her place, in an anguished monologue about the duties of a wife and partner, an area in which she assumes (rather correctly) that Lorelai is woefully ill-informed. “He’s my whole life,” Emily cries. If anyone watching wasn’t crying, they’re heartless.

The episode also was a happy (if poignant) reminder of what we still love about the show, even at its weakest: the community of Stars Hollow, rallying around its favorite girls in a time of crisis. Even Michel was sympathetic (albeit characteristically fussy). And Luke? Stepped up, just as you’d expect. Whatta guy.

And yet, this episode had the bad fortune of being trapped in a hopelessly ill-conceived season, so we also had to deal with the whole Lorelai-Christopher fallout. After turning him into an unlikely suitor who swept her off her feet with deep-pocketed romantic whims (the Paris adventure), the show now transforms Chris into a callous, jealous ogre who leaves Lorelai on her own for the entire episode. I’m sure we’ll get an explanation next week for his extended absence, but too little too late. What kind of person doesn’t at least return her calls with an “OMG, I’m so sorry, I’ll be there, this is awful, what can I do?” Answer: There is no such person, just a victim of bad soap-opera writing. Instead, Chris shows up unannounced, not even letting Lorelai know he was on his way, and for the most impurely contrived pseudodramatic motivations (as in: pouting once again over Luke being there).

The fact that Gilmore Girls is still capable of greatness, even now, is reason enough to pull the curtain on this show before we forget it was ever any good.
ETA - What if the diner scene is the last scene and we have Lorelai walk in Luke look up and smile, then fade to black?

Plus she'd have to be wearing it in 7.15 when she meets up with Emily for FND - because even though she can't tell her straight away I'm guessing Emily would kind of notice if her ring was missing when eating dinner.

I so agree that Lorelai looks beautiful in the promo. She's inspired me to bust out my hoop earrings...
