Rory hosts the DAR Party

by Eliza Ferree

Lorelai gets a call from Sookie that the Inn caught fire once again, this time it was only behind the stove but it’s still a scary thought. Sookie is fretting over the whole thing and both are worried about having to close down the Inn.

Rory is part of the DAR with her grandmother and begins to tell them how they can make their party a success. Everyone is shocked when she speaks up with all these ideas about the internet and how to spread the word. Everyone votes for Rory to do the party. You can tell that Emily is a bit worried about Rory taking over.

At dinner Sookie and invited Luke and Lorelai to dinner and they all try talking about television shows. Their son though won’t listen and turn the tv down. Course Davy doesn’t listen and his sister wakes up. At this point the baby is crying, Lorelai is watching Luke eat and Sookie is counting down.

Emily is complaining to Richard that Rory threw out the menu for the Fort Drum event, but he reminds her that it is Rory they are talking and everything she puts her mind gets done. The following day, Richard shows up at the Inn and lets the girls know that he will write a check for them today. Sookie is excited but Lorelai is still upset. (remember that they kept Rory after she dropped out of college)

Lorelai asks how things are going, he tries ignoring her but it isn’t working. He still doesn’t believe that they (Huntsbergers) ever said anything to Rory to upset her. He quickly gets his estimates and leaves, leaving her with no word on Rory.

Paris has found out her parents are now broke and tells Rory all about it. Rory hires her and off Paris goes, borrowing $25 before she leaves. Rory apologizes to the party planners. We are back at Lorelai’s house with Luke and he’s making the dog dinner.

Rory informs Emily that they are sold out, of course she is surprised. Paris shows up at work and is expcited since it is her first job. Course while taking around the food Paris doesn’t know how to stop chatting. Rory’s event goes off without a hitch, the food is real food and not fancy and her grandparents dance on the floor to get others out there. But the Huntsberger’s show up and expect a table, which upsets Rory because she never VIPed.

Rory does find a table but it is a corner table. Mrs. Huntsberger is tries faking her niceness to Rory but Rory isn’t a dummy, seats her at the back and walks away. But when word spreads to Emily that Sheryl Huntsberger is at the loser table she confronts Rory and gets her to change the tables. That is until she sees Mitchum and ends up having a panic attack and goes into the kitchen. Richard runs into Mitchum in the bathroom and Mitchum tells Richard that Rory’s not that great. He explains that he did what Richard would’ve done, that he wasn’t going to let Rory drain his company. He explains that he felt bad about the dinner so invited her to work for him and then let her down.

Richard is furious that Lorelai was right about everything and tells her. She tells him to head outside and she’ll be there soon. With the look in her eye you knew she was up to something. Emily takes the Mrs to the center table and lets her know that she knows what happened at the dinner. Emily lets her have it and lets her know that she knows all about how she got with Mitchum and on and on. In the end she tells her to leave the two kids alone and let them be happy.

Richard stands back and watches his little granddaughter on the stage as she gives a speech. He’s heartbroken to see her up there giving her all knowing what has happened to her and how she’d hidden it.

    I LOVE the scene with Emily and Logan’s mom. “You were a two bit gold digger when you stumbled off the bus and into whatever dive bar Mitchum found you in…” LOVE IT. Someone please bring Kelly Bishop back to TV.
