    Luke's Dark Day

    We find out that Luke has a "dark day" that he takes off every year. Paris goes speed dating and it's awesome. I hate the storyline with Rory hosting a Chilton student. Rory and Marty are a cool pairing. Logan embarrasses Rory in her class and she recruits Richard to help her prank him back.

    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Richard and Rory touching the side of their noses is a reference to the Paul Newman/Robert Redford movie The Sting (1973), where the con-man duo and their team use it to acknowledge when their part of the scheme is completed.
    • Goofs
      Lorelai discusses Luke's "dark day" with a few different people no one seems to know the reason behind it. Some of which (Miss Patty and Kirk) have known him since he was a child and knew his father. Considering this and how small the town is, it seems odd that no one seemed to work out that the "dark day" was on the anniversary of Luke's dads death.

      Richard: Logan!

      Logan: Huh? Richard!

      [stands up to shake his hand]

      Logan: Wow, this is a pleasant surprise! Finn, Colin, you know Richard, don't you?

      Richard: [shakes thier hands] Why, hello, boys. Nice to see you. Logan, I wanted to talk to you. I just heard about the incident.

      Logan: The...

      Richard: I heard that you professed your feelings for Rory.

      Logan: [shocked] Wha-?

      Richard: Mr. Bell is a very dear friend of mine, as is the Dean of admissions. Well, you know this place, news travels fast.

      Logan: Yeah, look...

      Richard: I have to tell you that, while I understand what could have driven you to such a public display of affection, there is an appropriate time and place for that sort of thing. And a classroom in the middle of class is not one of them.

      Logan: No, I know, I...

      Richard: However, what's done is done. It's out. So I dropped by to tell you that I have spoken to your father.

      Logan: My father?

      Richard: We pounded out a few things. Property agreements, pre-nups, that sort of thing.

      Logan: Okay, I think that there's been...

      Richard: Oh, we came to a very fair agreement. I'm sure you'll be pleased. Now, we're setting up a dinner next week to finalize the engagement and start talking about the ceremony.

      [Logan is in shock]

      Richard: Emily is handling all the newspaper announcements, so, not to worry. That's all taken care of.

      Logan: But...

      Richard: She is a fine young lady, Logan. I want her to be happy. You'll take care of that, I assume. All right, I'll let you get back to your coffee break. Nice seeing all of you again. And Logan, welcome to the family, son.

      [Richard turns and thumbs his nose in Rory's direction, who has watched the entire scene. She and Richard meet in the hall, laughing]

      Richard: I do hope one of his dopey looking friends knows CPR, or he just might not make it.

      Rory: You're the best, Grandpa!

      Richard: All right, who's next? Paris giving you any trouble?

      Rory: Not anymore than usual.

      [They walk down the hall together]

      Rory: However, there is a girl in my modern poetry class who keeps kicking my chair.

      Richard: Ah, I do love this place.

      Rory: Right back at you, Grandpa.
