By Pamie | Season 3 | Episode 1 | Aired on September 23, 2002
Lorelai tries to make her announcement again, but once she says the word "Christopher," Emily interrupts to tell her that they bought him a captain's hat. Before "Captain's Hat" becomes the new "scone," Lorelai stammers in disappointed tones that she and Christopher are...um...well...until Emily understands. She explains to Richard that Lorelai and Christopher aren't together anymore. Richard asks why, and Emily says that a vague explanation is sure to follow. "It just didn't work out, that's all," Lorelai says. "And there it is," Emily says with satisfaction. She tells Lorelai that this is ridiculous, and that Christopher and Lorelai aren't in high school anymore. So maybe she shouldn't harp on Lorelai's relationships, since it isn't any of her business whom Lorelai dates. Richard says he doesn't want to talk about it, but Emily says she does: "You're running around like you have no responsibility in life. Like you can flit from thing to thing --" ("That's not true," Lorelai interrupts) "-- from man to man...." Lorelai says she doesn't flit from man to man. Okay, liar. Emily says that this all affects Rory, too. Richard tells Emily not to waste her breath. Lorelai says she knows that this affects Rory, but that Lorelai's not even doing anything to affect Rory now. Richard tells Lorelai not to raise her voice. Emily demands a reason why it didn't work out, so Lorelai tells them that Sherri is pregnant with Christopher's child, so he's moved back to Boston to be with her. He'll probably marry her (this is Lorelai's assumption, mind you) and be with her and not herself and Rory and be the daddy he was supposed to be in another family that isn't theirs. Richard says that Christopher and Sherri will certainly get married because he knows Christopher, and knows that Christopher always tries to do the right thing. I seem to remember an episode where Richard blamed Christopher for all of their woes. ["Yeah, but then he turned it around on Lorelai once Christopher's shitty parents were gone, accusing Lorelai of rebelling against the marriage plans that Christopher was willing to go along with." -- Wing Chun]
