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, All Movie Guide

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, All Movie Guide

Lorelai (Lauren Graham) finally discovers how Luke truly feels about her -- and vice versa -- while both attending his sister Liz's (Kathleen Wilhoite) Renaissance-themed wedding. In other developments, when her date abandons her at a boozy party, Rory (Alexis Bledel) accepts a ride home from her ex-boyfriend Dean (Jared Padalecki), thereby infuriating Jess (Milo Ventimiglia). Lane (Keiko Agena) is paid a visit by her estranged mom (Emily Kuroda) -- a visit that ends as abruptly as it begins. Emily (Kelly Bishop) is hesitant about admitting to Lorelai that Richard (Edward Herrmann) has left her. And Paris (Liza Weil) prepares to fly off to England...but not alone. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The title of this episode is barely relevant to its action, beginning with the visiting Jess (Milo Ventimiglia) having unpleasant confrontations with Luke (Scott Patterson) and Lorelai (Lauren Graham) -- all the while trying to avoid a similar confrontation with Rory (Alexis Bledel). Elsewhere, Luke has a lot of trouble adjusting to his sister Liz's new boyfriend, T.J. (Michael DeLuise in his first series appearance). And Emily (Kelly Bishop) prevails upon Lorelai and Jason (Christopher Eigeman) to pretend to be a couple at a charity event -- unaware that the couple has long since stopped pretending. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
