Picklegate Recap
Ok, what I’m going to do is give a straight up, opinion free recap of last night’s show. Then I’ll follow with all the opinion you care to read, cool?
Christopher’s ex-wife Sherry wants Gigi to come stay with her in Paris for a couple of months. She sent Chris a long letter, complete with a wax seal and all. Sherry calls and talks to a four year old Gigi for half an hour then makes her case to Chris. Chris agrees to send Gigi to Sherry and decides to send the nanny with the little girl.
Lorelai doesn’t like this plan one bit, but decides to keep her mouth shut. On the way to Friday night dinner at Richard and Emily’s, they have a fight and Lorelai tells Chris to reconsider sending Gigi or at least take her himself. The tension escalates through dinner and finally Lorelai and Chris retreat to the bathroom to discuss. Lorelai tells Chris she is sorry and she assures him that she doesn’t compare his leaving Rory at 16 to Sherry, a grown adult, choosing to leave Gigi. Chris is angry that she assumes this is how he feels and why he is upset.
They eventually make up in the living room and Lorelai agrees to go to Paris with Chris and Gigi. Lorelai pulls out her cell phone and proudly shows off Emily’s jailbird photos.
Meanwhile, Logan flies home for a business meeting and surprises Rory with dinner on the roof. The next morning he leaves for his meeting. After successfully overtaking the company, he calls Rory to come celebrate with him. Rory goes to Manhattan and finds herself with Logan, 2 guys he works with and one female Bobbi. Rory sat in awkward silence as the group laughing and carried on with inside jokes. After the evening, Rory told Logan she was upset and he told her he was missed her, too, and he left.
Back to Picklegate – a train carrying pickles derailed and the stench covered the time. A town meeting was called and cheap Taylor wanted to leave the pickles to neighboring Woodbridge to clean up. Luke, among others, stood up and argued and Taylor agreed to clean the mess up.
Just another quirky day in Stars Hollow.
