Returning from London, Rory (Alexis Bledel) has a belated Christmas holiday with her family (cue the snow!) Unfortunately, her mind is still on her strained friendship with Lucy, who now "knows all" about her boyfriend Marty's previous relationship with Rory. Meanwhile, Luke (Scott Patterson), still locked in a custody battle over his daughter April (Vanessa Marano), asks Lorelei (Lauren Graham) to write him a character reference--which proves to be yet another wake-up call for Lorelai regarding her not-so-dormant feelings about her former fiance. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

To help Rory (Alexis Bledel) get over her nervousness concerning her graduation, Lorelai takes her daughter out on a shopping and dining binge. Luke (Scott Patterson) joins the ladies along the way, and they all end up at a karoake bar, where Rory manages to get Lorelai drunk. What follows is a boozy but sincere rendition of a Dolly Parton song in which Lorelai reveals the depth of her feelings for Luke. Meanwhile, Zach (Todd Lowe) is offered a job opportunity that may separate him from his family for several months; and Logan (Matt Czuchry demands an answer from Rory. This episode marks the last appearance of Vanessa Marano as April Nardini. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

When the bachelor and bachelorette parties for Zach (Todd Lowe) and Lane (Keiko Agena) respectively fall through, the couple is forced to improvise. Informed by Lane's tradition-bound mother that she will have to have an escort at the wedding, and with Luke out of town, Lorelai (Lauren Graham) attends the ceremony with Christopher (David Sutcliffe). The religious beliefs of the couple's parents require that two entirely different wedding services be held, making Lorelai all the more depressed -- here are Zach and Lane getting married twice in the same day, and she hasn't been to the altar even once -- not even with the father of her child! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The air is thick enough to cut with a knife in the offices of the Yale Daily News; though Rory (Alexis Bledel) is now editor, her predecessor Paris (Liza Weil) is still on the staff, and still seething with resentment. Nor is this Rory's only cross to bear: while attending the wedding of Logan's sister Honor (Devon Sorvari), Rory learns from each one of the bridesmaids that Logan (Matt Czuchry) was far from lonely -- or celibate -- during their brief separation. Back in Stars Hollow, Lorelai (Lauren Graham) babysits for Christopher's three-year-old daughter, Gigi (Nicolette Collier), who turns out to be a thoroughly out-of-control brat; and Zach (Todd Lowe) tries to reunite the band even as Lane (Keiko Agena) advertises for new members. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

At first balking over the notion of attending her mom Emily's annual cotillion dance (it'll be her first time ever!), Lorelei (Lauren Graham) changes her mind after realizing that her lifelong struggle to do exactly the opposite of what her parents want her to do may be the cause of all her troubles. Meanwhile, Christopher (David Sutcliffe) makes a confession to Lorelai that will shape the events of the coming weeks. In other developments, the distance between Rory (Alexis Bledel) and Logan (Matt Czuchry) may be a lot wider than the distance between Stars Hollow and London; and both Lane (Keiko Agena) and Zach (Todd Lowe) come to terms (sort of) with their impending parenthood. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The only good news that Rory (Alexis Bledel) receives this week comes from the unlikeliest of sources: her biological father Christopher (David Sutcliffe). Meanwhile, Luke (Scott Patterson) continues adjusting to the fact that he's the father of 12-year-old April -- and also continues to avoid telling Lorelai (Lauren Graham). Elsewhere, Luke's wacky sister Liz (Kathleen Wilhoite) goes "Martha Stewart" for Thanksgiving; and Lane's band is on the verge of breaking up as Brian (John Cabrera) seethes with jealousy over the song that Zach (Todd Lowe) has written for Lane (Keiko Agena). Carole King returns in the role of bookstore manager Sophie. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Hoping to mend the rift between Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and Rory (Alexis Bledel), Sookie (Melissa McCarthy) asks them to be godmothers for her babies -- but the baptism ceremony may prove to be a disaster with Jackson's wacky family in attendance. Hoping to spend some of the earnings from her tour, Lane (Keiko Agena) is shocked to discover that the band's money has been decimated by Brian (John Cabrera) and Zach (Todd Lowe). And Logan (Matt Czuchry) learns to his dismay that his future has already been mapped out by his wealthy and powerful father. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Rory (Alexis Bledel) helps Logan (Matt Czuchry) write an article for the "Yale Daily News", hoping to wangle an introduction to Logan's publisher father. And Lane (Keiko Agena) mulls over her mother's invitation to attend a Lunar New Year Party--but will she bring Zach (Todd Lowe)? ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Both Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and Emily (Kelly Bishop) are on the outs with Richard (Edward Herrmann), who is treating his ex-partner Jason (Christopher Eigeman) abominably. Later, Lorelai doesn't quite know how to react when Luke (Scott Patterson) tells her that his divorce is soon to be final. Elswehere, Lane (Keiko Agena) is convinced that she has been replaced in her mother's affections by a surrogate daughter -- namely, a Korean exchange student (Susane Lee). And Rory (Alexis Bledel) wonders if the unexpectedly high grade she has received from Professor Fleming (Michael York) has anything to do with the relationship between Fleming and Paris (Liza Weil). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

While Rory (Alexis Bledel) is in Rome with her grandmother Emily (Kelly Bishop), her mother Lorelai (Lauren Graham) reluctantly relays a message from Rory to Dean (Jared Padalecki) -- a letter intercepted by Dean's jealous wife Lindsay (Arielle Kebbel). Unable to properly cope with her emotional problems, Lorelai is acting like a tyrant at the Dragonfly Inn, driving Sookie (Melissa McCarthy) and Michel (Yanic Truesdale) crazy. Meanwhile, Luke returns after a grueling experience with the Renaissance Faire; and now that Dave is gone, budding musician Lane (Keiko Agena) finds herself attracted to another member of the band. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

This week it is Rory (Alexis Bledel) who chafes under the weight of personal travails, beginning with her anger when her Yale roommate Paris (Liza Weil) installs a balky printing press in their dorm room. Later, Rory tries to cope with the likelihood that Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and Luke (Scott Patterson) have fallen in love, all the while wrestling with own feelings about the still-married Dean (Jared Padalecki). And in a separate development, Jackson (Jackson Douglas) rebels against the tyranny of storekeeper Taylor (Michael Winters) by running for the office of town selectman. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A restored church belfry has a curious effect on the citizenry of Stars Hollow, with rapture and tears among the various and sundry reactions. In other developments, Rory (Alexis Bledel) goes after a malicious campus gossip who turns out to be Paris' latest boy-toy. Luke (Scott Patterson) fails to inform Lorelai (Lauren Graham) that he is now living with Nicole. And upon finding out that Lane (Keiko Agena) has been playing with a band -- and staying out until one a.m. to boot -- her mom Mrs. Kim (Emily Kuroda) reacts in exactly the way that you'd expect Mrs. Kim to react. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Stars Hollow is chosen as the site for the annual Festival of Living Pictures. Cast as Jesus in a staging of "The Last Supper," Kirk (Sean Gunn) goes way too far "losing" himself in his role, while Lorelai (Lauren Graham) struggles with writing a bad review for another presentation. Meanwhile, Lane (Keiko Agena) replaces band guitarist Dave with Gil (Sebastian Bach), who though undeniably talented is much, much older than the other band members; Sookie (Melissa McCarthy), determined to have her baby at home, hires a midwife who turns out to be more of a mid-husband (Rusty Schwimmer); and Luke's soon-to-be-ex Nicole (Tricia O'Kelley) makes a surprise proposition. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
