@Linda, then let's lay out all the future storylines as well, if spoiling doesn't matter anymore. :)

Jennifer Duffy

The title of this episode; "the prodigal daughter returns" you THINK is about Rory but it's actually about April. April is very realistic and I like the character. As a mom of 2 teens I'm also one of the few who gets where Anna is coming from

Linda

It's the truth though.

Ali

😂 so true

Lara

ughhh this is where i go back to s1 lmao

Lara

oh god april ugh

I like Rory (always liked her), but I also think that just leaving without any notice was pretty rude of her, no matter how right or wrong Emily and Richard may have been in their attempts to "take care of her". She stayed almost 6 months at their house, enjoyed all the comfort and support she was given, and then just takes off without saying a word. That has to be hurtful, esp. for Emily (since she had the argument with her primarily). And yes, the scene during her "looking at a plane" was not Emily's best moment, but I love seeing her vulnerability, and also that Lorelai seems to see it, too, it's just a tender moment. Therefore.... "and you haven't lost me".

Yasemin

@Macyn, It's hardly the same thing though. Lorelai was 16 at the time, Rory 21. Lorelai is their daughter (and by definition lives with them), Rory is the granddaughter and was taken in when in difficulty. Lorelai had just had a child at 16, Rory just took time off of college. And the list goes on....

Btw, Joe, not sure but I don't think the next EP or the one after is technically a "mid season finale", because I don't remember Gilmore Girls following that sort of structure like newer shows (This is Us etc).

If I was the guy at the paper I would have hated Rory after this episode lol

Macyn Chappell

its hypocritical to say that of rory and not of lorelai though- she did the exact same thing, only it was a note instead of colin and finn

Macyn Chappell

this is why i don't understand why people despise rory for taking a break from yale- it lasts literally 9 episodes. it feels longer for sure but it really isnt that serious, she did exactly what she was hoping for; she took a break, figured out what she wanted, and pulled herself out of her slump and now is back in school and has a job. its literally what being 21 is for. yes she made mistakes and went about things the wrong way, but alls well that ends well (and wasnt even that bad to begin with)

Jasmine

I actually despise the Luke has a daughter storyline, I'm not a fan of the characters (daughter + mother). I also don't like the space it inevitably takes up in the show that could've been entertaining ends up being a drag for me. Rory being childish makes sense she played the responsible grown up her whole childhood so those months of her regressing bc everything didn't go to plan was her freak out of omg what if I can't do it like everybody told me? Plus it's natural students experience the stress of higher education and buckle under pressure/give up.

The next episode is iconic

This plot line🥲

Anna

I don't feel for Emily but it was rude of Rory to just leave without a word. Emily and Richard helped her, gave her the pool house, Emily found a job for her etc. And this is how she thanks them.

Yasemin

Really? Is this necessary?

Jennifer Duffy

The turning point of the show. I've always felt that Amy S-P got the news that they weren't giving her 2 more seasons right before this episode; and she decided to tank the show from here on out to make it as hard as possible for whoever took over for season 7.
