Luke, I Slept With Christopher - Gilmore Girls S7 E1

This week's episode was one of Victoria's favorites, and while it was a great episode, it was also heartbreaking. Lorelai tells Luke she slept with Christopher, Kirk crashes Taylor's car into the side of Luke's diner, and Rory spends the entire episode analyzing Logan's rocket (not a euphemism). We also compare Lorelai and Rory to Carrie Bradshaw and Logan to Big; listen to find out why!

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Hello. Hello.

(00:02):
So what, no fucking ziti now?
Don't make me laugh.
Hi, welcome to You Know That episode. I'm Victoria.
And I'm Trev. We're two friends who watch too much TV.
We break down iconic episodes of good shows.
And bad.
And explain why we feel the way we do.
Today we're talking about Season 7 Episode 1 of Gailmore Girls titled The Long Morrow, which aired on September 26, 2006.

(00:28):
This episode is crazy.
This is, I am truly insane for selecting this as one of my first episodes.
Yeah.
Like what was wrong with me?
I get it.
I was right. I was like totally right. But like I am so...
At the same time, like I'm shocked.
This recap is nuts.
This, I said the same thing. Lorelai saying it's now or never. Luke being like I don't like ultimatums.

(00:52):
Like oh shit. And then...
It's really stressful.
It's very stressful.
Like Rory fighting with Logan's dad.
Yeah.
Very much that. I was like oh my god.
And but at the same time she was kind of crazy for, not crazy, but she was very self-centered for being like...
Oh yeah.
What reason would you have to move him other than you wanting to keep him from me?

(01:16):
And it's like Rory, the world doesn't revolve around you.
Yeah, she definitely is, she's nuts in this episode.
There's another moment towards the end where I thought the same thing of like, she is so self-centered.
Yeah, I...
I go back and...
This episode, for some reason specifically, I flip back and forth on Rory so much.

(01:42):
There are some scenes where I'm like wow, Alison Bledell might be the worst TV actress we've ever had.
Wait, no, not you calling her Alison.
He was Alexis.
Exactly.
Sorry, Alexis.
Like some scenes she's so bad.
She's such a flop.

(02:03):
And then in the next scene I'm like alright, I'm back.
I've been charmed again.
Like it's so back and forth, I cannot help it.
And it makes me feel crazy sometimes.
Rory and these bangs are...
I know, the hair is...
She's looking very cute.
The hair is good in this episode.
Yep.
Tell me why when I started this episode I was like wait, is she still not talking to Lorelai?

(02:29):
Yeah, it feels...
Yeah, I hate that.
It feels like, yeah, I hated that season.
Season 6.
Yeah, they make up by the end.
Yeah, okay, anyway.
The fucking rocket is the worst idea ever.
Even after like, spoiler alert, at the end of the episode when we find out what it actually means,
it's still fucking stupid.
Yeah, so what we're talking about is the episode opens on Rory in bed after Logan goes to London for his job, his fancy job.

(02:58):
And he leaves Rory...
So finally he's being an adult.
Yeah, but he really...
Isn't.
Isn't.
But anyways, anyways, so he leaves Rory a gift and she opens it up and it's a rocket.
And she's like so confused and she's just like what the fuck is this?
And it takes her the entire episode to figure out what it is.
Like she's rightfully confused, I'd say.

(03:20):
Yeah, I think so too. I would be like what?
Although I am the type to kind of remember little details like that, so part of me feels like I would probably get it faster than she did.
Yeah.
She's just not the most detailed person, but if Bernie told me something having to do with her favorite episode of something,
I would remember that.
Like she knows what my favorite episode of The L Word is.

(03:41):
Yeah, that's fair.
I also, I don't know.
Rory, would you say she's not an overly sentimental character?
Would you say?
I think Lorelai is more sentimental than she is.
Definitely Lorelai is. Definitely Lorelai is.
I think Rory is more pragmatic.
Yeah, and it's kind of annoying.

(04:03):
Yeah, that's why she doesn't get the gift.
She wouldn't think to do something like that.
Right, exactly.
It's shocking that Logan is more sentimental than Rory.
He thought she would get it right away.
He was like, at first I worried that you wouldn't get it, and she's like, no, no, I get it, but he was right for being worried about that.
So clearly he knows that she's not a very sentimental person.
I'm going to say something, and I need you not to jump down my throat immediately.

(04:27):
Okay.
I can understand where, like, Logan is really fly by the seat of your pants in a similar way Lorelai is at times.
Like just kind of doing gestures.
Just kind of like, maybe not always planning everything out exactly, and just making a decision and just kind of riding with it.

(04:51):
I agree with that.
So I think that they have so many similarities in that way.
Wait, wait, so many similarities?
Well, in that specific way, and how they like their decision making, sometimes it doesn't always make the most sense.
Okay.
Which we see when we see that Lorelai slept with Christopher.
She is such a stupid ass.

(05:12):
Like they act really impulsively.
We have to move into that.
Let's jump over to that.
They're really impulsively.
That's why I think they make, they kind of see each other at a certain point later on.
Right.
When he proposes.
Yeah, it's kind of like, alright, respect almost.
I get it.
But yeah, she sleeps with Christopher.

(05:34):
Yeah, so she wakes up, she wakes up with Christopher's arm around her waist, and it's like, fuck this.
And he's like, what you doing?
And she's like, go back to sleep.
I,
Chris is desperate for her to love him again.
And when she snaps at him, he's like, come on, let me just make you breakfast.
She's like, no, I need to feed the dog.
And he's like, come on, no, just stay, just don't go.

(05:55):
And she's like, no, like, I'm sorry, no.
And she regrets it so badly.
He's so not sexy.
He is desperate for her to love him again.
That's what this is.
It's so sad.
It really is.
He looks like such a fucking jerk with this haircut too.
It makes me want to.
Ugh, I just like, it makes me, I can't believe she did this.
Ugh, I can believe it.

(06:17):
That's the part that hurts the most.
I know, no, you're right.
Like I can believe it.
It just like, it upsets me so deeply.
It was so Carrie Bradshaw of her.
Oh, my fucking God.
I had the same exact thought.
I literally had the thought I was like, this is giving big in Carrie.
It really is.
And in a very toxic way.

(06:38):
Like I want so much.
Chris is so big coded.
The only thing is, can we say one thing though?
That is there is a distinction.
Lorelei did it as retribution.
Carrie does it because she has no self respect.
And no respect for Natasha.
Right.
And I mean, yeah, that too.

(06:59):
But I'm just saying like she, she did it because Carrie got back together with
beg and cheated on Aiden because she truly has no self respect for herself.
She just has no understanding of how to grow and be a bigger person.
It's so upsetting.
She has no evolution.
She has no evolution.
Yes.
100%.

(07:20):
I'm going to call it like I see it.
But then Lorelei did it because she, it wasn't a regression in terms of like, oh,
I'm going back to my worst self.
She was just like, what will make Luke feel as bad as I do right now for not wanting to marry me.
Which almost feels worse.
Yeah.
Because I can't blame Carrie.

(07:43):
Carrie sleeping with bit, cheating on Aiden with big is like, it's bad.
It's 100% bad.
It's really immature.
It's really upsetting.
It's really immature.
It's really disrespectful.
But it's like, it's not malicious.
Lorelei doing this feels malicious.
And that just is really, especially considering that like, yeah, they had a fight and yeah,

(08:05):
that in her eyes they're breaking up over this.
Luke isn't doing anything specifically malicious to her.
Like he's not being mean to her.
He's being an asshole.
He's frustrating her and she is being hurt by the frustration that she's having.
But it's, and I understand like impact versus intent, like he's not intending to hurt her by being frustrating.

(08:33):
She's going out, she wants, like, she's doing this to hurt Luke.
Which really sucks, because she's so much better than that.
And has been throughout the whole show.
No, she hasn't honestly though.
I feel like she hasn't been malicious to Luke though.
She's been malicious to other X's of hers though.

(08:55):
Remember when she just dropped Max at the drop of a hat and like he's like, what the fuck?
Like she literally runs away on the day that they're supposed to get married.
Yeah, that is true.
That was very toxic of her.
Yeah, but that's not the love of her life.
I know, but I'm still saying, like she has bad patterns with showing up for people.
Yeah.

(09:16):
She takes no accountability.
No, you're right.
Anyway, okay.
Also the season 7 intro, Beth's intro.
The season 7 intro is so good.
It's like literally a highlight reel.
It's so much fun to watch.
It made me smile.
Okay, so she's like, okay, gotta go, bye.
And she goes to her house and Bebet's there and literally screams and then Bebet is like, sorry, like I have nodes.

(09:43):
I love her.
I want a Bebet podcast.
She is so fucking funny.
I love her.
She's one of my favorite background characters on any show.
Yeah.
So she's like, anyway, I did a load of laundry and fed the dog and blah, blah, blah.
And she's like, don't worry, Luke's going to call you.

(10:05):
And she's like, how do you know about that?
Like what the fuck?
And she's like, oh, what's her face has a big mouth and all this.
And I thought it was so funny when the big mouth bit actually ended up being literal because literally she met like, oh, this girl has a big mouth.
It made me giggle.
And then the part where she's like, after we find out that the girl was choking and her friend ran away and that's how she stumbled onto the gossip.

(10:29):
Yeah.
And she's like, well, I'm glad that she took the time, she made the time while her friend was choking to death.
Exactly.
Like what the fuck?
It's just so silly.
This town is so silly.
This town is ridiculous.
But that's like, he'll call, they'll always do.
They always do.
She's like talking about Luke.
Yeah.

(10:50):
And Lorelai looks at her with a smile, but I'm sure in her head she was probably thinking like, I fucked my ex and I don't want him to call me.
Yeah, like even if she didn't fuck her ex, like, she's over it.
I don't think she is.
I think the only reason she doesn't want him to call and doesn't want to see him, even at the end, you can kind of call her.
She tries to convince him like, oh, it's over. It's over. Like that's it. There's no more.

(11:15):
And he was like, no, you can't say that to me because blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And she lets him go on and on and on and on and on.
And then she finally tells him Luke, I slept with Christopher because she knows that that's the only reason that's good enough for her to say that she's that she can't do it.
It's the worst part in the whole episode.
All right, we'll get there.
All right.
So then we cut to Paris at Yale and she has opened a college prep class out of the Yale Daily News Office.

(11:39):
This is one of my favorite Paris scenes in the whole show.
Me too. I fucking love this episode.
And she's like, I don't know. She's a straight C student, so she's probably lazy or stupid.
And honestly, sometimes stupid is easier because I can just beat the stupid out of you with fear, but lazy runs deep.
She's the mom in the scene is really fucking funny too.

(12:02):
The mom is the mom is really funny. She was sending me.
So she the daughter is like, mom and she's like, Caitlin and she's like, Paris is like, you both have to take an aptitude test because I need to know how much of this is her fault and how much of it is your fault.
And then Rory gets into the whole rigmarole of the long distance and all this stuff and Paris is like, well, you're broken up basically.

(12:26):
I love Paris. She is my favorite.
She's so straightforward.
I love her. I love everything about her.
The way that Paris is fully obsessed with Rory, though.
Oh, yeah.
She's like, so what are you doing here?
She's like, I came to back up my files and she's like, you already backed up your files. I saw you do it.
Bitch, mind your business. Stop staring at your crush all day.

(12:48):
She's crazy. Also her line when she's like describing Logan and Rory's relationship and she's like boring. Who's watching that movie?
Truth.
So fucking funny.
She's so right.
She's right. They should have just broken up.
I totally agree.
All right. So then we jump over to the Firefly and Suki and Michelle are in an arm wrestling match.

(13:12):
And I fucking love it.
Honestly, Michelle has a funny line. I have to give it to him.
He's like, you think you are so good. You think you are Miss Ladida because she's like losing.
But then all of a sudden Suki like whams his arm into the table and I was literally like, yeah, beat his ass, Suki.
It is such a good scene. It's so silly.

(13:33):
I love that scene.
And so much fun. And then it immediately comes crashing down.
Yeah. Suki was also, I need to call out a little fashion note. Suki is wearing green crocs.
Is she?
I had a bad time. Yep.
I love my crocs.
Lorelai comes in and she is not in the fucking mood.
And it's like all she can do is think about last night and she's waiting for Suki to notice, but it takes her so long.

(13:58):
Painfully long.
Like, way too long.
Do we think that the fruit and vegetables in these scenes are real or fake?
They look so good. I was literally like, my mouth was watering when I saw that.
It has to be fake, right?
I don't know.
With how many takes they do?
When I saw those cherries though, my mouth was literally watering. I was like, um...
I mean, I'm sure some of them are real.
They look so good.

(14:20):
And then like craft services maybe use them or something like that?
Yeah, maybe.
Yeah.
Well, like some of the stuff is fake. It has to be.
Okay. Well, either way, Suki is going on and on and on and doesn't realize that Lorelai still has not said a word.
And then finally, Suki's like, something's wrong.
Like, took you long enough. Lorelai's just standing there sipping her coffee.

(14:44):
And Lorelai's like, yeah, Luke and I are done.
And Suki's like, no.
I refuse to accept it.
She's just like, she's like...
She's befuddled.
She is. She starts laughing at one point.
She's like, oh, come on. You're just kidding, right?
And she's like, tell me you're just kidding.
She's like, people fight.

(15:05):
Yeah, people fight. People break up. People cheat on each other. You guys should just get back together.
I mean, she's right. They should just get back together.
Lorelai's like, no, it's done. It's over.
But you know it's not because of Luke. It's because of Christopher.
And this scene sealed that for me.
Because here's how I see it.
If she wouldn't have fucked Chris last night, she would be back together with Luke right now.
Yeah, I agree with that.

(15:27):
I agree with that.
I know it. I know it.
If she never would have fucked Chris last night and she would have just stayed home and wallowed over him and been sad,
and then he showed up with the truck the same way he did,
if the entire Christopher story never happened and she was just sad at home and he came and was like,
come away with me, she would have done it in a heartbeat.
The only reason she didn't is because she cheated on him.

(15:49):
In a perfect world, that's what would have happened.
Yeah. Somebody write the fanfic.
You do it.
No.
But,
but,
I will say this.
Lorelai saying that she doesn't ever want Luke to know when she's talking to Suki and then telling Luke to his face when he came to get her.

(16:13):
Yeah.
Just something about that.
It's so sad because she really, that's her last resort.
That's her like, I'm hitting the big red button.
I'm nuking this.
Yeah.
Because you can tell how serious he is and she knows that the minute he hears these words, he'll leave.

(16:35):
Oh God, but she still tells him anyway because she loves him so fucking much and she doesn't want to lie to him.
Yeah, lying to him isn't going to make anything better either.
Yeah. Oh my God. Anyway, so Luke, okay, what she said to Suki was true though.
She goes, I don't want him. Either you're all in or you're not.
Yes. She's right. She is right.
She is right. Luke has a very difficult time making room for Lorelai in his life.

(16:59):
We've seen that time and time again when April comes and just like with his apartment and with his stuff and just his personality is very overbearing.
And this doesn't leave a lot of room for Lorelai.
And I feel like Luke probably feels the same way about Lorelai though, honestly.
Like if I was dating someone that was like Lorelai, I would be like, where do I fit in this life?

(17:22):
The thing, yeah, that's the thing is they both have very strong personalities.
Very large, strong lives and personalities.
And they're different from each other.
Yeah, they're fundamentally different. So it is hard to piece those things together.
Yeah.
But it's just like, do the work. It's worth doing the work.
One of, one episode that I love that kind of goes into this a little bit is this other episode and I forget what season it is,

(17:46):
but it's when they're still together, they're dating.
It's kind of new in the relationship.
So it must be like season five, I think.
Yeah.
She tells him to go camping and there's like some kind of event happening in the town.
Something to do with Miss Patty.
And he's like, no, I don't want to go camping.
I'll just stay with you and go to the banquet.
And she's like, no, I can tell that you would rather go camping.
I know you hate going to town stuff and I know you hate doing Miss Patty stuff.

(18:10):
And he's like, but I like spending time with you.
And he's like, well, I don't want to keep you here because I can tell you feel forced by it.
So he goes camping, but he's like fucking miserable while he's out there and he just comes straight back.
And she notices that he's in the diner while she's at the event.
So she rushes over to the diner and she's like, what the hell happened?
Like, what are you doing here?
And he's like, I didn't want to go camping.
You fucking forced me to go camping.

(18:31):
And all I wanted to do is go to that stupid event with you.
I like doing stuff with you.
I don't care what we do.
I just want to be with you.
And that's like, like, they're love languages.
They're both really bad at listening to the other.
Yeah. Well, their love languages are like polar opposites.
Yeah.
Lorela's words of affirmation and Luke's acts of services.

(18:52):
He says his love through acts of services.
Like he repairs her house.
He does stuff for her.
He moves Rory in.
He moves Rory in.
He gives her a check to open her in.
Like he shows his love through acts of services.
Hers is words of affirmation and Luke is so bad at that.
He cannot express himself worth a damn.
He sucks at it.
Like she just wants to hear, yes, I still love you,

(19:14):
even though I have a daughter.
Yes, like you're going to continue to be in my life,
even though I have a daughter.
Yes, I'll marry you.
Yes.
If I don't marry you now, we'll get married later.
Yes.
I want a future with you.
He sucks at all of that stuff.
So like for Lorela, she has her love language and he cannot
accommodate it because of how he is as a person.

(19:35):
And that's what happened here.
This is a miscommunication until she went and fucked her ex.
Absolutely 100%.
That's it.
It's just so disappointing.
It is very sad.
It's really sad.
So then, Lauren is so good in this episode.
We need you to kudos.
She's so good in this episode.

(19:57):
She's really, really, really, really good.
Also, I didn't realize until the episode was over
that Emily and Richard are not in it.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
I didn't even notice until the end.
I was like, wait, what the hell?
Yeah, I was like, oh, it feels weird.
Yeah, it does.
Having an episode without them.
I totally agree.
Oh gosh.
Yeah, she's really good in this episode, like genuinely,
like 100%.

(20:18):
Yeah.
I just want to hold her when she's like super sad.
She's talking to Suki.
It's just really upsetting.
But anyway.
Also, did this episode go by really fast for you too?
Yeah, it was like losing by.
It flew.
Yeah, it did.
It did.
So much happened and they're talking so quickly.
Oh my God.
There's no fluffy scenes.
At a certain point, I was just watching it and not taking notes.

(20:42):
Yeah.
Because I was like, damn, this is just good.
Did you notice that there's no fluffy scenes really?
No, it's all just moving plot.
Which makes sense.
I mean, it is the first episode back in a season.
So you have to really pick up where you left off however many months ago.
Yeah.
And keep people interested.
Right.
So then we move back to the diner.

(21:03):
Luke is having, he's in a shitty mood and he's taking it out on everyone.
I love Caesar.
I love Caesar.
This is one of my favorite runners like in the entire series, I think, where like anytime
things are bad with Lorelei or he's not on good terms with Lorelei, he's in a bad mood
and takes it out on everybody in the town.
Like the guys like Luke, I asked her scrambled and these are over easy.

(21:25):
He just comes over and scrambles the over easy egg with it with a fork.
It is so, it makes me like scream laugh every time he does that.
He's hilarious.
He's such a bitch.
He is.
I love it.
He's such an intense fucking Scorpio.
So dark and brooding.
He should literally kill Doocy right here.

(21:46):
Before any of this shit even pops off, he should strangle Taylor in front of the whole
town.
I would pay to see that.
I, and the thing is, yes, Luke is mad and like definitely like misplacing his anger,
but he's also 100% right in everything he says to Taylor.

(22:08):
I totally agree.
I'm on Luke's side.
I'm on Luke's side 110% here and then we are vindicated in that.
And so for anybody who didn't watch the episode, sorry, we'd have a tendency to forget what
the fuck we're talking about.
Because we also just watched it like I just watched it literally 20 minutes ago.
So it's so top of mind that I'm just like, yeah, we're just like firing off these ideas.

(22:30):
Okay.
So to explain what the fuck just happened.
So Taylor is trying to install a traffic light in the town square and it's right in front
of Luke's diner.
Luke is in a really bad mood from everything and everybody rushes out of the diner to see
what the hell Taylor is doing.
And Taylor is like, we're installing this traffic light to see who is a bad driver basically
and starts hollow and who would run a red light and they're going to start to get a ticket.

(22:54):
And then Luke even says that it's been 15 years since there's even been an accident on
that corner.
So it's not necessary.
And Taylor just doubles down and just doesn't listen to anybody and he thinks whatever.
And then eventually we see that Luke was right.
Yep.
Yeah.
He's so he's such a fucking bitch.

(23:15):
ACAB includes Taylor.
Period.
And he is the only police officer I've ever seen in Star Solo.
He is.
Oh, I hate him.
But Star Solo even have a fucking fucking.
No.
And later on in the episode, he mentions that specifically when they're unveiling the street
the street camera is he's like, how can we police ourselves like how whatever when we

(23:37):
don't have a police force.
Right.
Oh my God.
Anyway.
So then jumping back to the firefly and Michelle is wearing a fucking whole ass splint on his
arm and his wrist.
Such a drama queen.
Rory walks in.

(23:57):
Also wait.
Oh.
What?
You keep calling it the firefly.
I do.
It is the dragonfly.
Oh wait.
What is wrong with us?
Yeah.
Earlier you called Alexis Liddell Allison Liddell.
That's different, babe.
She does not matter.

(24:17):
That is not different.
That is not different.
Wait.
You know why I keep saying firefly, right?
No.
It's because of the last of us.
Oh, that makes sense.
We want.
That makes sense.
Yeah.
I'm like entrenched.
So what's your excuse for calling Alexis Allison?
I don't like her.
Okay.
That makes sense.
But I will say she is good in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

(24:38):
I do like her in that.
Okay.
That is valid.
All right.
So at the dragonfly, excuse me.
You're excused.
Rory shows up and Lorelai is so happy to see her, but at the same time she's kind of nervous
to tell her everything that happened.
And then not even tell her.
Yeah.
How could she make jokes when she fucked her stupid ex last night and literally had the

(25:01):
most important relationship in her life?
I'm so mad at her.
It's also just like, I will say one thing that annoys me throughout this whole episode
with Lorelai specifically.
It's like, yes, this is your daughter, whatever.
It's her dad.
It's awkward, whatever.
She's also like your best friend.
And she's just as invested in your relationship with Luke as whatever.

(25:25):
Just be honest with her.
Right?
About what happened.
Like she's not going to be like, like the whole talking around it throughout the whole
episode.
Yeah.
It's kind of frustrating.
I mean, it does give us the really funny scenes with the racquetball stuff.
Yeah, I love that scene.
But it just is so silly because it's like, just be honest with her.

(25:45):
Like you could be honest with this girl.
Like you raised her right.
You could be honest with her.
She'll maybe, she's going to judge you probably, but like not in a malicious way.
Okay.
And, but you know something?
On the same, and this is fucked up of me to even say this, and I probably shouldn't
even say this, but like I get Lorelai in a sense.

(26:06):
When you have really bad news to deliver, it's so hard to like actually go into that
conversation.
Oh, of course.
I'm saying this in like the most, I'm not in this situation way.
You know what I mean?
Like I don't, if I was in her position, I have no idea what I would do.
I probably wouldn't tell her, but like she should.
I know she should.

(26:26):
She should.
And that's why it's so juicy to watch her not do it.
You're like, oh God.
Especially because she's already told Suki.
Yeah.
And I feel, well, she does say, okay, Luke and I broke up last night and she's like,
oh my God, what happened?
And she's like, where are you promised?
And she's like, I know I didn't.
And I was like, okay.
It made me laugh.
Yeah, she's right.
She didn't, she didn't promise.

(26:47):
She didn't promise.
That's a scene where immediately I'm like, okay, I'm back in on her.
Right.
Um, okay.
So then she calls Logan, where I calls Logan and he's like, so what did you think of the
gift? and she's like, I thought, wow.
And he's like, oh, you got it.

(27:09):
Good.
I was so worried that you wouldn't get it.
And she's like, nope, I got it.
And it's like boys are so dumb if he does not realize that she in fact did not get that
at all.
Like who would get it?
I just, but how is even if you're sentimental and remember everything that is so weird of
a gift still.

(27:30):
But, and, but yeah, and still at the same time, it's crazy that he cannot tell by the
tone of her voice and her complete and utter lack of detail or excitement that she did
not get it.
He's like, I'm so glad you got it, babe.
Love you.
Gotta go.
Bye.
Click.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
Like I can tell when Bernie is lying.
I'm sure you can tell when Tony is lying.
I can't.

(27:51):
Well, I don't know.
I don't think Tony's lied to me.
But no, I don't mean about serious shit.
I mean, like about silly stuff.
Like, oh, did you do blah, blah, blah?
Oh, yeah, I did.
I can kind of tell that it's not true, you know?
No, we're just very honest and accept that we're stupid.
Oh, okay.
So like I'll straight up just be like, I did forget.

(28:13):
I don't even mean about forgetting.
Oh God, now people are going to think I'm toxic.
I don't know.
You're not.
No, but it's like, if I'm like, yeah, I, I know for me at least I don't lie like that.
I don't lie about stupid, like silly shit.
You don't even lie to like be silly sometimes.
Like, oh yeah.
Yeah, but it's like, it's obviously a joke.

(28:36):
When I'm doing that, it's obvious.
But if it's like, oh, hey, did you get like the tickets for this thing yet?
And it's like, oh yeah, totally.
And I haven't.
I would just be like, fuck.
And then I would immediately buy them.
But I don't even do that.
I would just be like, fuck, I forgot.
I'll do it right now.
Even if I know I can fix it before the lie is like a thing.

(28:57):
Yeah, I don't know.
I think I don't care enough to lie.
I think what I'm just, this is getting into relationship dynamics.
All I'm trying to say is I feel like I would be able to tell if my partner was like talking
in a weird tone of voice and not saying what they needed to say.
Because I agree.

(29:18):
Like, Bernie and I are honest with each other.
So I would pick up on it if I was like, oh, did you?
Did something shift it?
Like the gift?
Like, did you like the gift?
Yeah.
Oh, absolutely.
I think I would be able to tell.
Yeah, I definitely would.
I also know Tony would be able to tell if I was lying because I have no poker face.
Right.
So, and I'm also like pretty honest about shit like that.
And I'm sure Tony is perceptive.
That's what I'm getting at.

(29:38):
He's not perceptive in the slightest.
No, he's an idiot.
I will say it is also over the phone.
That is tough.
So I'll give him that a little bit.
But even then, it's like, dude.
Anyways, okay.
So this next scene of the racquetball is so funny.

(29:59):
This is the moment why I chose this episode, I think.
I love this scene.
It's also, I can't imagine it must have been a nightmare to shoot the scene with the sound.
Probably.
I mean, so loud, like hollow.
Maybe they like commissioned a gym that had a racquetball place and added the sounds
in post.
Maybe, but even then, it's like you kind of hear the emptiness of the room.

(30:23):
Yeah, it's kind of echoey.
It's really, it's really weird.
This episode, okay.
This scene is very Gilmore Girls.
Like this is quintessential Gilmore Girls.
Yes.
The fact that they had that entire scene with Michelle and they were like, well, where can
we talk?
What can we do to avoid talking about our stuff?
I don't want to talk about the rocket.
You don't want to talk about Luke.
So where can we go to avoid our problems?

(30:44):
Let's do a sport.
Like, okay, what sport can we play?
Okay, racquetball.
So they go to the racquetball court and it just shows them sitting on the floor in the
racquetball room talking about the rocket.
Exactly what they didn't want to talk about.
And then when someone comes in to use the court, she's like, oh no, we still have till
the end of the hour.
Thanks though.
I love when she says thanks.
Like, why are you saying thanks?

(31:04):
She's so dumb.
She's like, we're not done racquetballing and we have it till like the end of the hour,
but thanks though.
It's just like, it is.
It's so cute.
This is quintessential Gilmore Girls.
This is why I love the show.
They're so funny together.
They are.
Like the whole rocket gum thing.
The whole like Rocket Man and then she starts naming Elton John songs and she's like, are

(31:29):
you just naming Elton John songs?
She's like, he's so talented.
It's just so, it's so loose and it is so, it feels stupid to say this, but it is just
so conversational.
Yeah.
In a way that a lot of shows don't get right.
It's the perfect mother-daughter friendship relationship.
The flow of it is so on point.

(31:51):
And I mean, obviously by season seven, you would hope a scene like they would able to
be, do a scene like this in their sleep.
And obviously they can when you have this scene and you're just like, they feel so comfortable
and lived in with each other only in the way that you can with someone who you've known
for a long time.
And like grown up with at this, which like they have at this point.

(32:13):
Yeah.
And it's definitely like a comfortability thing happening.
Sort of like, you can tell that it's almost, it feels very natural.
There's no other way to describe it.
It just feels very natural the way they talk to each other.
So they start talking about the Rocket and then they just, they both of them need to

(32:36):
shut the hell up and talk about what is going on with Lorelai and Luke.
Like just be honest.
Yeah.
And it is annoying by this point that she still hasn't told her exactly what happened.
And they go back to the house after Lorelai hits herself in the eye with a ball.
And they look in the mirror.
The first time they try to actually play.
Literally.

(32:56):
And where he's like, look, your eyes like inflamed.
I'm going to go get you some stuff at Taylor's market.
And I noticed something in the bathroom.
Do you know what I'm going to say?
No, what?
There was a sign behind the bathroom door that said Paris on it.
And I was like, oh my God, wait, is that foreshadowing because Lorelai goes to Paris with Chris and

(33:17):
they elope?
And it happens in the, in this episode, which is the episode she breaks up with Luke.
Damn.
Anyway, food for thought.
Moving right along, the fact that they have to cook because they're mad at Luke, anytime
they aren't mad at Luke, they eat at Luke Steiner every single day.

(33:37):
That alone would be a reason enough for me to never fight with Luke.
Period.
Like I would be like, no, I cannot end this relationship.
He is our sustenance, our life force.
Yes, we need him.
We will die without him.
I think Rory says that at a certain point in the series when Lorelai and Luke are fighting.
She also points it out before they even start dating.

(34:00):
Like when Lorelai's like, I think I'm dating Luke.
And she's like, if you are with Luke, you are with Luke.
Yeah.
And she means exactly what we're saying right now.
Like they're broken up and they have to cook for themselves because Lorelai-
My worst nightmare having to cook for myself.
Oh God.
And the meal that they're talking about eating, it just doesn't even sound appetizing at

(34:21):
all.
No.
What do you mean?
Steak I like.
Yeah.
Steak is good, but then she starts talking about like mash, or not mash potatoes, peas
and some other shit.
Like a bunch of frozen shit.
Yeah.
Okay.
This is the worst day of Luke's life.
But also it literally made me tear up when she took the Luke's magnet off of her fridge

(34:42):
before we move on.
Oh, I didn't see that.
It made me so sad.
I was like, not the magnet.
Anything.
We need to keep one thing.
Yeah.
Come on, girl.
Um, and then.
And then this is literally one of the funniest scenes I think.
They did like, baby, they were doing stunts.

(35:03):
I laughed out loud at Taylor's face when Kurt crashed the car into the diner.
Okay.
Wait, let's stop.
We're doing it again.
Luke should literally kill him.
We're doing it again.
We need to explain what the fuck is happening.
People are listening to this and they're like, what are they talking about?
Okay.
You know what?
Watch the episodes.
Period.

(35:23):
Okay.
So we cut back to town square with the whole like red light situation and everybody
in the town has gathered in the square, including Rory at this point who has stopped to talk
to some people.
I think she sees like Miss Patty and, um, that that and all them.
Yeah.
So they're sitting on a bench and they start talking to her and then all of a sudden Taylor's
like, okay, everybody, um, Kirk is going to drive my, um, prize possession.

(35:48):
Um, beautiful car.
Yeah.
Ford T bird through the red light as an example of somebody who is going to get a ticket for
driving through the red light.
Everybody set go and when he drives through the red light of light flashes and blinds
him and he drives the car straight into Luke Steiner window, his, the whole wall, the whole

(36:10):
entire wall comes crashing down.
Everything is covered in glass.
Kirk jumps out of the car and he's like, I'm fine.
I'm fine.
But everybody runs towards him and Luke is just standing behind the counter.
Like he'd stump founded.
He literally pull out a gun.
I, I would support him and I would be on his side at this point.

(36:31):
This is insane.
And this is like Taylor and Kirk are literally terrorists in this town.
This is the stars.
Hello, Cleveland of when the plane crashed on with Stereo Lane in, in, literally in
Desperado.
I, I would end up in jail.
I would end up in fucking jail.
You know what pissed me the fuck off?

(36:52):
Why is Rory acting like it's funny that Kirk crashed into Luke Steiner when she's explaining
it to Lorelei after Lorelei literally just told her that they broke up.
Like why would she think that Lorelei would find that funny?
She's like excited to tell this story.
I think she's just kind of like hopped up on adrenaline.
Lore, Lorelei's looking at her like dumb founded.

(37:13):
She just looking.
Yeah.
She's like just shocked.
She's like utterly shocked.
And Rory is like having the time of her life explaining the story.
It is so funny though when she's describing what happened and she talks about Taylor's
car and she's like this like cool muscle car, however she describes it and she goes, by
the way, who knew?
Let legendary read.

(37:34):
Right?
Cause it's like, why would he have that car?
Why would Taylor of all people have this car?
Right?
He likes to make out with boys in it.
No, literally.
Um, and then after that Lorelei starts explaining the piles of things in front of her.
I feel so sad at this part.
It really bums me out.
Me too.

(37:55):
Like honestly, when she starts talking about the books and she's like, oh, a book on hammerhead
sharks and she's like, he gave that for me to read.
I just thought it was so cute cause it's like he wanted to return the favor but he doesn't
read all that much.
So he gave her a book about hammerhead sharks.
That's what I picture.
That's how I envisioned that scene happening.
And you know what?
I, I love that.
I love it too.

(38:15):
As a shark person, I love that.
I love it so much.
It's so sweet.
He gave him like key pieces of culture.
Yeah.
Like into the wild.
Like he gave her a literal book about hammerhead sharks that he probably learned about from
his daughter.
It's so cute.
This is the worst fucking day of my life.

(38:36):
Like what the fuck?
Why did they break up?
I don't-
Cause they're stupid.
They...
It is crazy though she keeps not telling Rory.
Luke is so right about like everything in this episode.
Yeah.
Like everything he says to Taylor.
Oh my God.
He should literally choke Taylor to death.

(38:59):
He, Taylor is fucking annoying.
He never listens to anything that anybody says.
He never listens to other people at all.
He just does what he wants.
Even when people vote against him, he puts up a fight and tries to prevent whatever it
is they want to do.
He just wears them down.
It's like you literally ruined his, this man's business and you are still making it
about you.

(39:19):
Yeah.
He's crying over a stupid ass car when the fucking diner is ruined.
Especially when the car is fine.
Yeah.
The car is like literally not damaged.
It just needs like a paint job.
It has a little bit of glass on it.
And then like, but Luke's entire business is fucked.
And is going to be closed down while it gets repaired.
For weeks.
For weeks.
We can tell just by the damage that has been caused that there's no way he's going to be

(39:42):
opening the next day.
No.
It's so...
I hate Taylor.
So, so, so much.
I hate him so much.
So then, they jump back to the house.
Everything is gone.
The fucking house is empty because everything in it reminds her of Luke, of course.
And we see that continue in the next scene.

(40:03):
I hate this show.
It's so sad sometimes.
Like the angst in this episode is killing me.
And Rory still doesn't know what happens.
Rory still doesn't know and she keeps talking about this fucking rocket.
Girl, this is small potatoes.
Your mom and stepdad just broke up and all you care about is your fucking boyfriend.
Your mom just fucked your dad.
And she doesn't know about it though.

(40:24):
Oh my god.
That's this poor girl.
I feel so bad for her.
Rory should be in therapy.
Honestly, ignorance is bliss for this episode.
I wish this episode never happened.
This is the worst thing they could have ever done.
So Lorelai's basically like, okay, if you miss him that bad, just go to London.
Like eat, duh, damn.

(40:45):
Like why did it take you so long to figure that out?
Especially if like, bitch, you don't have a job.
Right.
So then Rory's like, okay, anyway, I gotta Google some stuff.
And Lorelai's like, okay.
That's so relatable.
Right.
And then she's like, I'm going to bed.
So she goes upstairs and she's like, rips all the sheets off of her bed because they
remind her of Luke.
They probably slept on it.
Smell like him.

(41:06):
And then they show Luke and Luke is just sitting on a pile of glass on a folding chair with
his arms crossed thinking about how bad his life sucks.
One of the most depressing shots in the show.
They are both regretting their entire lives right now.
Like they want each other so bad they miss each other.
That's all they care about right now.
Like he misses her.
She misses him.
They're both being so stupid.

(41:27):
He realizes that.
She realizes how stupid she was for sleeping with Chris.
He's stupid for a different reason than she is.
She's stupid for sleeping with Chris.
He's stupid for not giving into her ultimatum.
But at the same time, I agree with him for not giving into it because like, yeah, like
they're both right.
They're both wrong.
Nothing good in a relationship can come from an ultimatum.
I 100% agree.

(41:48):
I 100% agree.
If you're giving ultimatums, you're over.
It's over.
It's over already.
Like the person's never going to do what you want for the reasons that you want them
to.
They're only going to do it because you gave them the ultimatum.
They should do it because they want to.
That's what I'm saying.
So I understand and even when Luke snaps at the tow truck driver, he's like, he doesn't

(42:10):
like feeling pressured.
It is a lot of pressure.
It's a huge life decision.
Like the marriage and everything like that.
So I understand him being like, I'm bugging out because especially considering he just
found out all this shit about having a daughter.
Right.
There's not part of it too.
So it's like there's a huge amount of new stuff happening in his life.
Yeah.

(42:30):
He's always been a father figure to Rory, but it's different having your own kid.
Like Rory's never relied on him in the same way.
I agree.
And I think he's also figuring out how to navigate the intensity of his relationship
with Lorelei and the speed at which they're moving.
I mean, think about it.
It's what it took them this long to for him to even admit that he had feelings for her

(42:54):
and ask her on a date.
And she thinks that after just two years of dating and they were broken up for one portion
of that time, by the way, remember when they broke up the first time and the whole town
chose bows and ribbons.
Yes.
Yeah.
What season was that season five?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So it's like, I understand where Luke's coming from, but I understand Lorelei being like,

(43:14):
I need a yes or no.
I can't do wishjewashi.
Yeah.
And I think both of their boundaries are very understandable.
They're just not compatible.
They're not.
In this moment, they're not compatible.
Yeah.
Which sucks.
Well, actually, no, that's not even.
Okay.
Remember earlier when I said their love language is not compatible?
Yeah.
And that the entire thing was actually a miscommunication?

(43:36):
Yeah.
I agree to an extent that it was a bit of incompatibility, but even incompatibility is not a deal breaker,
believe it or not.
No, absolutely.
Like two people can be fundamentally different and have some incompatibilities and still
find a way to make it work.

(43:57):
It just all comes back to the fact that none of this would have happened if Lorelei wouldn't
have fucked Christopher.
Like they could have gotten back together.
Luke would have just been like, I need more time.
I do want to get married, but I need more time.
Okay, great.
Problem solved.
Or he could have been like, you know what?
I'm sorry.
I got scared for a second, but I'm back now.
I'm ready to get married.
Are you still ready to get married?
Yes, I am.
Okay, let's go.
Boom.

(44:17):
Problem solved.
Like there's so many different ways this problem could have gotten solved.
And Lorelei's sleeping with Chris ruined every single one of them.
You know what I would have loved so much more instead of her sleep going to Christopher's?
What?
Her going to Emily.
And doing what?
Needing to be consoled.
Emily.
I think that would be...
We're not going to get at this.
No, but I think it would be more interesting.

(44:40):
I think it would be interesting in a different way.
I mean, it's annoying that Lorelei slept with Christopher and it pisses me off so badly,
but at the same time, like, TV-wise and plot-wise, it is the best thing they could have done
because it makes me so mad and it ruins things in a way.
It is engaging.
Yeah, because it ruins things in a way that forces these characters to like not solve the

(45:04):
problem.
Like, I just told you a bunch of different ways that they could solve the problem, right?
They knew that the only way the problem could not be resolved is if Lorelei did something
that for Luke was a complete deal-breaker and for Luke, that deal-breaker is always Christopher.
Like it happens like multiple times.
Remember the other time?
At the Val Renewal?
Yeah, at the Val Renewal when Christopher shows up and he's being such a jerk and Luke's

(45:28):
like, nope, I can't do this.
I can't have him in your life.
Like I just can't be okay with it.
And obviously, he has good reason.
He has good reason, right?
Because Christopher is just obsessed with Lorelei and love with her, has never gotten
over her.
And you have somebody in your life like that, nobody who cares about you and loves you is
gonna be okay with it.

(45:50):
Yeah, not gonna be okay with it usually.
Like it's just bad.
It's all bad news.
It just makes me sad.
Yeah.
But that's why this episode's so good.
Exactly.
Oh, it's such a good episode.
I fucking love it.
So then they show Lorelei's pajamas, by the way, look like nurse scrubs.
They're so ugly.
They do.
You're right.

(46:10):
I didn't think, I didn't realize that.
Why is she wearing that?
Like the little pockets in the front, they're so ugly.
Maybe that's the only thing that they don't remind her of Luke.
Maybe she got rid of all her pajamas and had to wear that.
Okay.
Um, when, okay, so she's laying in bed and then all of a sudden the phone rings and
she gets up right away and answers it.
I think she thought it was Luke, but it's not.
It's Christopher.

(46:30):
And he's being annoying.
And she's not answering him.
He's like, Hey, I had a good time last night and she literally does not respond.
And he's like, don't worry, this isn't a booty call.
But by the way, do you want to come over and I'll cook you dinner and we can fuck again
tomorrow?
Literally is a booty call.
Yeah.
Of course it is.
And she called him.

(46:52):
Yeah.
And she's like, she knows she fucked up so bad.
You can see it on her face.
You can tell by her tone.
She just wants to move on.
She wants to move the fuck on.
She wants him to forget about it and she wants to pretend it never happened.
But of course he can't let it go because he's in love with her and he needs to just get
a job.
Fuck off.
Leave her alone.

(47:12):
Get a job.
Get a friend.
He's too obsessed with her.
It's kind of, it's really relatable.
And she does put it, she does put it very plainly with him.
Like this cannot happen.
She's like, this can't happen.
There is nothing between us.
Like it was a one time thing.
Let it go.
And he's like, don't worry.
I'll just call you tomorrow.
I fucking love you.

(47:33):
And I always have for the past like 30 years.
Forever.
Literally forever.
So annoying.
I hate him.
I wonder what it would be like to see him in the future.
But it wouldn't be interesting at all.
We don't see him in a year in the life, do we?
We don't.
But it wouldn't be interesting at all to see him because I know he would just act
the same way.

(47:53):
Yeah.
He's probably some like Silicon Valley bro type.
Like he's into NFTs and shit now.
People who ship Lorelai and Christopher are psychotic.
Yeah.
That's crazy to me.
I can't even imagine.
You are insane.
That's just like fundamentally misunderstanding Lorelai's character.
That is just you are.
And I'm all for like shipping whatever you want for whatever reason.

(48:14):
Not me.
I will start a ship war over this one.
I don't generally care about that because I'm like whatever I just will block you.
That is crazy though.
I will yell at you and then block you.
Yeah, you're fucking nuts if you ship Christopher and Lorelai.
You are.
I pop off sometimes.
I follow a couple of Luke and Lorelai Instagram accounts and sometimes a crazy Christopher

(48:37):
fan will jump in the replies and I literally at them.
I literally reply.
I have to.
I just I feel very compelled to let people know.
You're going to get our account like shut down for a second.
Oh, I do it on my personal one.
Believe me, honey.
I don't give a fuck.
Anyways.
Oh my God.
I don't know why I do that.
Any who's else.

(48:58):
So she hangs up the phone.
She lays down back in bed and falls asleep and then Rory comes running up the stairs
like probably a couple of hours later and is like I figured it out.
I figured the rocket out and starts telling her the story about the rocket.
And I'll just tell you right now if I had a daughter and she woke me up to tell me
this, I would punch her in the head.

(49:20):
And that's how I know I'm not ready to be a parent because I would lose my patience
so quickly and probably strangle her.
And you know what?
I think I would do the exact same.
Oh my God.
No, I think we would raise our kids to be smart enough to know that they should not
be waking me up out of a dead sleep.
Wait until 9 a.m. for big things.
Yeah.
No one should be getting news before 9 a.m.

(49:42):
Period.
Okay.
So anyways, she tells her the story about this episode of the Twilight Zone that the
rocket is related to how this guy went into space for 40 years and then made himself
old so that he could be with his soulmate, but his soulmate turned herself young so she
could be young with him.
Loryl is like, that is the most depressing thing I have ever heard.
She's right.
And she is so right.

(50:02):
I agree with her completely.
That almost made me cry.
It's so sad.
It's like gift to the Magi shit.
Yeah.
So then she's like, okay, I'm gonna go to London.
I love him so much.
But anyway, are you gonna be okay while I'm gone?
And Loryl is like, yeah.
And this is the moment where I was like, again, Loryl is just so selfish.
Like, of course.
I understand one thing of like, live your life for you and like your mom's going through

(50:25):
a hard time, but like at the same time, she's an adult and she has to live her life for
herself.
She can't always be protecting her mom.
It should be the other way around usually.
But also like, they just broke up a day ago and you're bragging about how good your relationship
is and how you love him and how he gave you this grand gesture.
I will say, I do think she does, she still doesn't know the full extent.
Yeah, that's true.

(50:46):
I'm assuming Roryl probably assumes they'll get back together.
Yeah, that's true.
Because she doesn't know the full details of everything.
So she's probably like, they fought, they broke up, they'll get back together.
Right, she probably thinks like it's not that big of a deal.
She's being so dramatic.
Yeah, not even over dramatic.
I think appropriately dramatic, but like.
Appropriately dramatic.

(51:06):
If Rory thought that we're gonna get back together the next day, it would be overreacting
to empty the entire house of every belonging she had.
No, I don't think she thinks she's gonna get back the next day.
I think that she thinks they're gonna get back together in like a couple, in a week
or two.
I think she probably assumes they need time to cool off.
Considering their, I mean, also considering their big personalities.
They need time, they need space to like think.

(51:30):
So I think at the end of it, she's like, they're gonna get back together.
This is a bump in the road.
She's being dramatic right now, but like, this is how she is.
Right.
You know?
Yeah.
So I think if Rory knew everything, she would be acting differently.
I agree.
Right.
I, it just frustrated me to hear her be so happy about her relationship when Lorelai

(51:52):
is literally so heartbroken and depressed.
But I also will say that I think, I don't think Lorelai is letting it on as much as she
did to Suki.
Right.
She told Suki everything right off the bat because that's what I was trying.
And she, even how she just like talked to Suki about it was so, so solemn.
Any time she's like, like when she tells Rory like Luke and I are broken up, she's not

(52:18):
doing, it's not in the same way.
It's not the same tone.
It's like, it's more reassuring than like, solemn I'd say.
Yeah.
You're right.
Like it's, yeah, it's more resigned to the fact that it happened than like really sad.
So I think she's kind of putting out a brave, brave face for Rory.
And that's why Rory is like, yeah.
And she's also focusing a lot more on Rory's situation and all that.

(52:40):
Cause she's being avoidant.
Exactly.
Which is just distracting Rory.
True, true.
I just, I'm a Rory-eater.
No, me too.
But I also think Rory is just not intuitive.
Right.
Like, so she wouldn't, obviously she didn't, she's not intuitive.
She didn't pick up on the gift and she's not picking up on how fucked up Lorelai is.
Oh God.

(53:01):
Because of how self-centered she is.
No, yeah.
I mean, at the end of the day.
She's so busy with this rocket at the end of the day.
That's what it's about.
It's just her rocket.
She's so in, like, absorbed by it.
No, it's true.
This ugly fucking rocket.
Anywho.
Anywho.
She calls him, she calls him and she's like, I just love you so much and I love this rocket

(53:22):
and I finally get what it means.
I'm sorry I didn't get it before.
And he's like, okay, awesome.
And she's like, I can't wait to see you.
And he's like, well, I bought you a ticket for Christmas time.
And she's like, oh, Christmas?
Like I thought you were gonna basically give up your whole career and invite me to come
live with you in London for the summer.
Why didn't you do that?
I also will say, like, I don't understand why she wouldn't go with him anyway and like

(53:45):
live a life in London while he's living his.
I mean, I just, again, and not to name drop Carrie and drag our girl for filth for the
second time this episode, but she assumed that he would just be fine with her.
We love Carrie.
And it's like, does she think that she's Carrie Bradshaw that this guy is just gonna
invite her to come to London with him when he's like one of the most career oriented

(54:08):
guys ever?
It's yeah, it's.
And he has this pressure from his dad and Logan is not a Russian and we've already
gotten an insinuation from earlier in the previous season, season six, that Logan's
dad wants to separate Logan and Rory because he gets distracted by Lord By Rory.

(54:30):
So like in what world would she think that he would invite her to come stay with him
in London after all that?
Fuck in.
What's his name?
Logan is so much like big.
I think we talked about this, didn't we?
We might have.
Earlier in the episode we talked about him and Christopher being similar, which makes
sense because Christopher and Logan are so similar.
But yeah, it's just like bad guys.

(54:50):
Really bad guys, shitty guys.
One of the best lines in Texas City.
You take an APA, you don't go to an APA.
But that's like what happened here.
It's like he went to London.
You know, but oh my God, when fucking Carrie goes to Paris with.
The Russian.
And he's like, you're moving to Paris or the Rusky?

(55:13):
Oh, I hate the Russian.
I hate the Russian.
My mom is fucking crazy.
My mom has the Russian.
My mom has tried to tell me that the Russian is her favorite Carrie boyfriend before.
Oh, your mom is crazy.
Crazy.
She's insane.
That's worse than being like, I think Burger is her best boyfriend.
I yelled at her so bad that day.

(55:33):
That is crazy.
I literally yelled at her.
I was like, mom, you, I'm blocking you for a week.
You know who's secretly my favorite of Carrie's boyfriend?
What do you mean secretly?
I mean secretly.
What?
Who?
The politician.
You know who I kind of like?
And this is going to be, this is inappropriate.
You guys are going to hate me for this.
I'm going to get so much hate mail for this.

(55:55):
Is it the bisexual?
No, it's the guy, this is Stoner guy who owns the comic book store and they get hired.
Yeah, he's cute.
And he lives with his parents.
But he lives with his parents and then they come home and they're like, what the fuck?
Why do you have a 40 year old woman here?
And like, why are you guys high right now?
When Justin Thoreau plays her boyfriend.

(56:16):
Okay.
Yeah, another thing.
That's kind of the best boyfriend, but he was crazy.
He was crazy.
He was insane.
But yeah, the politician is like my favorite like two episode boyfriend Carrie has.
Oh my God.
Aiden is my number one, but.
I can't wait to talk about this show.
I know.
Next time.
Sneaky, sneaky, peeky.
What's happening?
Nothing.

(56:37):
Nothing.
Okay, so moving along.
So Luke literally shows up with his truck full of shit and like, I love Luke's truck.
Luke's truck is the sexiest thing about him.
It's so sexy.
That color is perfect.
That color is perfect for him.

(56:58):
Very New England, very very small town.
It's so sexy.
It's very small town Connecticut for sure.
It's a perfect truck for him.
It's a perfect truck for him.
He's going a mile a minute in this thing.
He's going a mile a minute.
He's talking.
He's just saying everything.
It's pouring out of him like lava.
He's like, but her ugly ass pajamas are so distracting.
Like everything he's saying is going in one ear and out the other.

(57:20):
Cause I'm just thinking to myself, why is she wearing those pajamas?
But anyway, he's like, somebody crashed into my fucking diner today and I don't even care
because the truth is like nothing is real to me.
My life isn't even real to me unless you're in it.
And I literally, I honestly, I'm tearing up just saying these words.
It's so sad.

(57:40):
He sucks with words of affirmation, but then he can't stop saying them in this scene because
he realizes how bad he fucked up and he knows he needs to say it all now because he's losing
her.
Yeah.
And she's just like, Luke.
And he's so scared in this scene and he's getting choked up.
I was too.
I was trembling.
Shaking.
I'm going to be sick.
I've watched this a million times.
I feel like I'm going to throw up.
There's like, when he first starts in like the first like couple lines he has, there's

(58:03):
like a hitch in his voice.
Oh my God.
Yes.
It killed me.
Yes.
Exactly.
This whole time I'm just talking, I'm in my head the whole time.
I'm just like, just go with him.
Just go with him.
Just go with him.
Oh my God.
And just tell him about Christopher later.
Like, but at the, or don't tell him at all.
Yeah.
But every time she's, every time I pause, I do not advocate for cheaters.

(58:29):
No.
She should tell him.
She should.
Every time she tells him, my stomach drops.
Every time I watch that scene, my stomach drops.
She's like, Luke, stop.
His face is so, and she can't even look at him when she says it.
God, they're both so good in this episode.
They really are.
She's like, it's over.
And he's like, no, no, you can't just say it's over.

(58:50):
Like I got to say in this too, this is my relationship too.
And when he says that, she realizes he's never going to give up.
So she just has to say it.
She has to pull the trigger.
And she's like, I slept with Christopher.
And he doesn't even respond.
He can't even respond.
He just turns around, gets in his truck.
And then my note was the next episode is when he shows up and punches Christopher in the
face.

(59:10):
I literally had to watch it.
I did too.
Okay.
I kept watching and I was like, I got to see it.
I got to see it.
I got to see it.
I have to see it.
Honestly, this episode should have ended that way.
But I understand why they left it on the cliff.
This episode is perfect because it doesn't end that way.
But I love that like the opening with him punching Christopher is so good.

(59:32):
Best cold open of all time.
Oh my God.
He shows up like how the fuck does he even know the address?
But anyway, that's what I said.
I was like, how does he know where he is?
Oh my God.
I had an idea for a funny meme that I might make about that.
Oh, you definitely should.
You definitely should make a meme and post it.
I will.
I will.
It's just like, how does he know his address?

(59:53):
How does he know his address?
He just parks the car right there.
He does not give a fuck.
Goes all the way up to the top.
Christopher opens the door.
Pow!
Right in the face.
Suck a punch too.
And then Luke gives a good shake to his hand and gets back in the elevator.
Yep, gets back in the elevator.
That had to feel so goddamn good.
He, yeah.
Oh, I love that.
But yeah, this episode just ends with him driving away and it feels nuts.

(01:00:17):
Gosh.
It's so good.
This episode is so good.
It's so fast.
This episode is so amazing.
I think this is the first time we've gotten through everything in an episode in under an
hour.
Yeah.
It just moves so quick.
Yeah.
There's all, like, all killer no filler.
All killer no filler and so on and so forth.

(01:00:38):
I mean, this is one of those episodes that it hurts to watch, but it's just so good
that it had to make my list of favorites.
It's just so exciting to watch.
It had to make it onto my list of favorites.
Yeah.
I would 100% agree.
So what are we watching next week?
Next week is season one.
Oh, going back in time.
Episode six, which is Rory's birthday.

(01:01:01):
Oh my God.
That episode is so Gilmore Girls.
It's one of my, it's obviously one of my favorites.
We're going to be talking about it.
It's really fun.
Yeah.
I'm very excited to get back to, like, some, some good old school Gilmore Girls.
Oh my God.
And then the episodes that I've chosen for after that one are both so, oh my gosh, y'all.

(01:01:22):
We have so many dramatic ass tastes.
We have tastes that we have.
I like that my next episode is like fun.
Yeah.
Yours is fun.
And then yours is depressing.
Mine is so heavy and we're going to cry.
And then, then yeah, then we're getting close to the end there already.
Oh my gosh.
Um, Gilmore Girls is flying by.

(01:01:44):
Gilmore Girls is flying by.
I'm having so much fun with this show though.
Me too.
I love it so much.
It's just like, even when it's sad or like upsetting like this episode or like last week's
or anything like that, it's just, it's just so fun to watch.
It's good TV.
It's just easy.
This is the definition of good TV.
100%.
I agree.
Oh my God.

(01:02:05):
Okay, y'all.
Well, thanks for joining us this week.
We love you.

So.

(01:02:26):
Yeah, we're having fun and we want you to have fun with us.
Yes.
So follow us on Twitter and Instagram and all that stuff too.
Yes, we're running a muck on the Instagram and Twitter accounts.
Oh my God.
You especially on that Twitter.
Me especially on that Twitter.
And I.
I need like a lesbian Rosetta Stone to go on the timeline at this point.
Oh my God.
The number of lesse fan accounts that I follow on the Instagram and Twitter.

(01:02:47):
Diabolical.
And the shit that they tweet is so.
They're crazy.
Oh my God.
They literally are.
They're out of their fucking bird.
It's crazy on there.
I'll switch over sometimes from my main account and I'll scroll for like a minute and I'm
like, I don't know what's happening.
I don't know what the fuck anybody's talking about.

(01:03:09):
This is crazy.
Feel free to follow any accounts that you want on there because I don't.
No, I do.
I mean, I followed a ton when I set it up and everything like that.
But even then, sometimes I'm just like, what the fuck are these people even mad about?
I can't even tell.
And I know the shows, especially now that you finally watch League of their own and
like you followed a bunch of fan accounts for that.
I'm like reading stuff they're posting and I'm like, I watched this show.

(01:03:33):
What are they all talking about?
Oh my God.
I know and I don't even know.
If any of the people that we follow on Twitter and interact with on Twitter, I don't know
any of your names, but if any of you are listening to this, please understand that I am dragging
you with the utmost love.
No, I love it too.
Don't get me wrong.

(01:03:53):
Like I love it.
This is not a hate drag.
This is a love note.
No.
Y'all are positively insane and unhinged and I fucking love it.
It makes me so happy.
It feels like being a kid on Tumblr again.
Yeah, no, it literally does.
It literally does.
I love, I love looking at everybody's crazy ass tweets and I especially love when they
post screenshots of shit and yeah, they're messy.

(01:04:17):
The lesbians on our timeline are fucking messy.
They really are.
They are talking mad shit out in the open.
No private accounts.
No private accounts.
Nobody's private.
They don't give a fuck.
Nope.
But you know what is, you know what I do love is that some of them have actually added
us to their Twitter circles.

(01:04:37):
That is, I see that.
And I'm like, I feel like I shouldn't see this.
Right?
Like some of them are sick.
I feel like I'm intruding.
Honestly, I'm like, I'm not even...
Do they know?
Right?
Do they know?
I'm like, how did I get myself into this person's Twitter circle?
I've never said a word to this person.

(01:05:01):
I love it.
I love it.
If we follow you on Twitter, you follow us whatever.
Just know it makes me so happy.
Oh my God.
It's so crazy.
I'm like, I'm like, I love all of the lesbies that we follow.
Yeah, me too.
I'm an ally.
Okay, we have to go.
Okay.
Love y'all.
Bye.

(01:05:21):
Love you.
Bye.
Oh my God.
He's online.
Can you see me?
What the hell is she talking about?
Who's this?
Start to do Angelina please.
No, she died.
