Gilmore Girls

Logan's in Stars Hollow for a quick business trip and he starts the trip well, planning a romantic rooftop dinner for Rory. He keeps impressing Rory. He's in town on a business deal to buy a website. He's become a total "work dork" and she's loving it.
Lorelai and Paul Anka are spending their first night at Christopher's apartment and Lorelai's got some questions about Christopher's TiVo choices. Sherry, Gigi's Mom, has sent Christopher a long apology letter to Christopher the highlights of which are she's dating her yoga instructor (In Lorelai's words, "She's doing downward dog with some French Yoga instructor.") and she wants to be a part of Gigi's life. She invites Gigi to spend a few months with her in Paris. Christopher seems like he couldn't be more happy to ship his four year old daughter off to another country with the twenty-five year old nanny in order to see the mother who abandoned her when she was a baby. Lorelai looks miffed about this. Bottle it up for a while Lorelai. I'm sure it will make things more interesting later.
A train wreck spilled tons of pickles which have been baking in the sun for three days and, now that the wind has shifted, the smell has invaded Star's Hollow. Unfortunately, Lorelai misses the fascinating town meeting to discuss the pickles because she's afraid of running into Luke. Awww. Hey, wasn't it Lorelai who opened Luke up to the exciting world of town meetings in the first place?
Rory and Lorelai have a long rambling phone conversation about the current excitement in their lives and then, when that doesn't go well, a quick redo of the conversation. "Oh, you're a filthy child. I will disown you. Bringing your father to dinner. Pickles, pickles, pickles. Smell. Pickle train conducting." I heart Lorelai Gilmore.
Oh, Logan was doing so well. And then... Rory shows up to their dinner (He's only got six hours left in the country.) to find they are eating with his coworkers! Dumb, dumb Logan. This isn't quite as boneheaded as when you slept with all those women when you and Rory were "broken up" and then let her find out about it at your sister's wedding. But, it is still pretty darn boneheaded. Rory gets increasingly irritated as the dinner goes on and as Logan's hot blond coworker gushes about just how super Logan is.
Lorelai breaks down on the way to Friday night dinner and tells Chris her reservations about him sending Gigi off to Paris with the eighteen year old nanny. I love the way the nanny gets younger and younger as the episode goes on and as Lorelai gets more pissed off. Chris doesn't take Lorelai's assesment of his parenting choices too well and this leads to a tense dinner with Richard and Emily. Lorelai and Christopher use thinly veiled food metaphors to discuss their love life. Lorelai pulls Chris into the bathroom to give him a big 'what you did to me isn't the same as what Sherry did to you' speech which only serves to make him more angry at her.
Rory blows up at Logan for the dinner and for not telling her Bobbie was a girl only to backpedal and apologize. Don't apologize Rory! He was a bonehead! Logan heads back to London and Rory heads off to catch the end of what's turning out to be quite the Friday night dinner.
In the middle of a long winded speech about tennis from Emily including the gem, "Well, if I wanted to play ping pong, I would kill myself.", Christopher apologizes to Lorelai and asks her to come to Paris with him. She says yes and suddenly gets her spunk back. She starts annoying her Mom again and busts out the photos she took of Emily at the police station last week. The night ends with Rory, Lorelai, and Christopher rocking out to some golden oldies in the car and enjoying a nice family moment until they enter Stars Hollow and are assaulted by the scent of rotting pickles.
