Yeah, I know I skipped an episode, but really, I felt like that anyway watching this week's episode. I can't believe they're wrapping all of this up in just one more episode! But here goes with the review anyway:

Ok, lots happen in this episode, so I'll condense. Lorelai and Emily are apparently back to normal, with just the occasional good-natured jab at FND (Friday Night Dinner) while they discuss Emily buying...um, I mean sponsoring...a Russian ballet dancer. They pick one, and everyone moves on with dinner. In other news, the article about the Dragonfly is coming out soon so the magazine is throwing a party in New York for Lorelai. Really? Go go gadget suspenders of disbelief! Anyway, she and Luke take a limo into the city, and back to Luke's place, where things get primordial (tm Lorelai).

Also, Sookie goes into labor, Lorelai has a three-second pregnancy scare with all of the primordial-ness with Luke, and Sookie makes Jackson get a surprise vasectomy. Not cool, Sookie. Very not cool.

The cool: Papa Huntzberger slaps down Rory, hard. He tells her she doesn't have what it takes for investigative journalism and that she doesn't have the drive for this kind of work. Go, Papa H! Rory, of course, is devastated because someone told her she's not perfect. Not really liking Rory lately, glad to see her have to learn one of those hard lessons. Her solution to this is to go find Logan, at his sister's engagement party, and steal a boat. Right.

So Lorelai shows up at FND with copies of the magazine containing the ARTICLE on hand, to find out that the, ahem, ballerina is a little more masculine than Emily may have hinted at. Like, he's a cute 20-something Russian guy. But we're cool with that, because he's cute! Unfortunately, he reads about Lorelai comparing Emily to Stalin and becomes offended. Then the elder Gilmore Girls have to explain to him what a joke is, and while they're at it, can they explain why he's WAY too young to have a family that was killed by Stalin? Please? No? Ok, go-go-gadget suspenders of disbelief (SoD) again! Yay! And Lorelai gets a phone call from Rory. Rory: "You have to come pick me up." Lorelai: "Where?" Fade to black. Me yelling at the TV: "Jail! Rory's in JAIL! AAAAHAHAHAHA! Jail!" Tune in next week for the collapse of Rory and supposedly (not believing the promo guy though) a proposal! Wheeee!

Oh, in other news, I got the 2-disc special edition of Phantom of the Opera on DVD. It's REALLY COOL! And John actually sat through the whole thing with me! Although he did say, after it was over, that he would rather have seen it on stage. And the only singing I actually enjoyed was Emmy Rossum's. And watching the special features with the clips of the 1986 music videos starring Sarah Brightman. Ah, childhood memories!
