This one’s, as promised, “A Tale of Poes and Fire”

1) Rory and Lorelai are harassed by Kirk when he prints daily T-shirts about what everyone’s doing. Luke hears Rory got into Harvard, Princeton, and Yale, and he hugs her, awkwardly. I noticed that Rory was called “our” Rory to Luke. She quickly adds “Stars Hollow” Rory, but I totally believe that Rory is “their” Rory. Luke has been there for Rory every time she’s needed it.
2) The cat (Papaya) won’t eat out of the dish, so Sookie attempts to show the cat how to eat. I totally would do the same thing, and I’m most definitely not pregnant… I’m an extreme cat person. Lorelai’s Poe jokes are good, and I totally got every single one. I actually paid attention in Lit class.
3) Luke goes to Jess’s little Employee Of the Month ceremony… and mocks the sentimentality of the situation. The manager tells Luke that Jess has been working 40 hours, and Luke seems quite confused. I love confused Luke.
4) Lorelai is mocking the improvisational comedy scene, much like “Whose Line”… 1000 points to Lorelai! And Luke’s hair looks exceptionally nice in this episode. Very attractive. And the leather jacket is also very flattering. Luke is very good looking when he dresses up!
5) “If the Poes start fighting, does that punch a hole in the space-time continuum?” I thought the same thing last night with the ice cream guys at the baseball game. There’s one normal guy, who’s been doing “Chipwiches” since I started going to the park, and another guy was doing them last night. Ugh. I much prefer original Chipwich dude.
6) “I should have bought a flask, we could have played the nevermore drinking game.” Haha. The vibe is weird because both Nicole and Lindsay hate each respective Gilmore Girl for the reason that they could possibly steal their own respective me. Jealousy!
7) Luke catches up with Lorelai after the Poe reading. He has a signature wave, I’ve noticed. He’s also got this Luke-walk. He’s very… Luke. Luke and Lorelai discuss Jess, and Lorelai brings up the fact that Jess isn’t going to school.
8) Lorelai gets a phone call very early in the morning, saying that the inn was on fire. It’s all so sad… everyone’s out and safe, but the inn is not able to be entered for 24 hours. Lorelai and Sookie get planning, Rory’s assigned to give the kids a sock puppet show, and Lorelai and Sookie invade Luke’s for breakfast… and Luke’s both angry and confused about the whole situation, and Sookie’s pregnancy… but he lets them stay, because he’s Luke.
9) Rory’s sock puppet show is riveting, and the kids get to go harass Luke about sock puppets… Lorelai insists they do. I can only imagine. Miss Patty’s is the headquarters for emergency phone calls, and Babette and Miss Patty seem to be annoying Michel. The Glinda the Good Witch comment was funny though.
10) The teacher at Chilton advertises that one person (at least) was accepted to Harvard… and Rory points out to Madeline and Louise that Paris is not in school and hasn’t been for five days. Rory goes to Paris’ to attempt to help her out. Paris seems to have a simple plan, which involves buying a Harvard sweatshirt and faking her attendance. And her interview was terrible. I was really nervous for mine, so I talked about David Ortiz. The guy had a picture with him and Ortiz on his desk, and that linked into a conversation about my career, so that helped me slightly.
11) The Larsons are bunking in the Crap Shack, and Lorelai puts awkward thoughts into Rory’s head. Lorelai picks up the lists, and sees that Yale is the one with the most Pros… and we all know that Lorelai supports Rory regardless. And Rory goes to Lane’s… because there’s nowhere for her to stay. And now there’s nowhere for Lorelai to stay because the Haddelstadts show up… yeah, now Lorelai has no idea where to go… so Rory suggests she go to Luke’s… who of course, lets her in.
12) Luke and Lorelai attempt to make Luke’s bed, and Lorelai tucks in both sides to slip down into it. Luke cracks a joke about her feeling at home in the “straitjacket”… I do that! So, after a couch vs. bed debate, Nicole calls, Luke answers, and an incredibly short conversation ensues. Luke admits that Nicole is uncomfortable with Lorelai because she’s all Luke could talk about. Luke learns that no other women exist on a first date. Lorelai is reminded of her dream… THE dream, and she tells Luke about most of it. It’s all very funny… “What am I, dream tramp? Of course yours!” That was one of my favorite Gilmore moments of all time. Haha, Luke and Jess snore. SO funny!
13) Cajun eggs Benedict actually sounds really good, fascinating enough. Luke invented it by mistake, but I think I might attempt to make that. Anyway, the Poe society gives Lorelai a fake bird, and Sookie and Lorelai head to the inn. The inn is opened, but it’s really, really sad, because everything’s all messed up. Rory goes into her room to find that the Harvard paraphernalia has been covered with Yale paraphernalia. And I want the “Rory’s Going to Yale!” T-shirt.

The End!

More to come!
