Gilmore Girls: 7.16, "Will You Be My Lorelai Gilmore?"

Rory's got a meeting with a guy from the New York times and she's trying to plan the perfect baby shower for Lane. To relieve a bit of the pressure (because, Rory, not so good with pressure) Lorelai offers to take over baby shower duty.

Despite her inability to spot the appropriate bald guy at their meeting spot and the fact that she's acting like an elf on speed, Rory's meeting with the New York Times guy goes very well. Unfortunately, she goes home to find that her perfect boyfriend has regressed to old school Logan.

Yes, remember how Logan was kind of decent for five minutes? The moment is gone, people. He tells Rory about losing all of his and his investor's (that includes Papa Huntsburger) money but not before staying out all night drinking and then snapping at her. Then he blows off Lane's baby shower in favor of a weekend in Vegas with Colin and Finn. Was Logan hanging out with Christopher when we weren't looking? Rory is insanely supportive of Logan throughout all of this jackassery and I'm hoping that doesn't last much longer.

Meanwhile, Lorelai is trying to help Lane and Mrs. Kim reach a truce in the great fried shrimp debate. Lane wants to raise her kids all willy nilly and let them eat fried shrimp and not go to church. Mrs. Kim is aghast. But, Lorelai works her Gilmore charm like crazy and gets them to compromise and admit a grudging respect for one another.

Lane is put on bed rest so the Gilmores, Zack, and Mrs. Kim haul her whole bed to Miss Patty's and party as crazy as you can party when the main activity is painting onesies. At the party, Lane asks Rory to be her kids' Lorelai Gilmore, "You know, when they're hiding their Bibles and they can't stand me." Rory says yes. Rory, I think that means you are going to have to ditch Logan and find yourself a nice flannel clad boy.

Speaking of flannel, Luke and Lorelai run into each other outside the baby shower. They reminisce about Rory and Luke tells Lorelai about selling his boat and buying a new one so he can sail around with obnoxious April this summer. Lorelai can't believe he bought a boat in one day when it used to take him a week to pick out a shirt. His response, "Yeah, well, things change." (But, not the fact that I want your sex.) What, was I the only one that heard that?
