By Al Lowe | Season 6 | Episode 8 | Aired on November 7, 2005
Rory's in a reality spiral, and Logan tries again to suggest that she have a drink. Speaking of drinking, Rory has an opinion on that, too, all of a sudden: "I'm wasting my time, partying and drinking. Just hanging out, doing nothing." Logan somehow takes offense, telling her not to pull him into this. Rory says she didn't say anything about him, but he goes on, saying he can't be blamed for her drinking and partying: "That's your choice. When I ask you out, you can say no." Rory says that drinking and partying is all they do, and he takes issue, again. "It's all YOU do," she corrects herself, and the shit hits the fan. "That's my prerogative," he says. "Because come June, my life is over." Rory rolls her life. "Oh, yes," she snarks. "Your horrible life -- let's hear about it." Um, Rory? Can you not see the anvil of irony that looms ever closer to your head? No. Well, I guess Logan's going to have to spell it out for you. He tells her that no one is stopping her from making whatever she wants to happen, happen. "Go into journalism," he says, beginning to yell. "Go into politics! Be a doctor; be a clown! Do whatever you want!" She whines that it's not as easy when it's not handed to you. DUDE, SHUT UP, RORY. What has not been HANDED to your skinny ass?! Oh my GOD. I mean, I am glad that Rory is figuring it out right here, and everything, but she needs to stop tripping for a second and maybe pull a hanky out of her purse that costs more money than my life insurance would pay out if I died from a stroke right now caused by the combined ridiculousness of these two rich, intelligent asses arguing about whose life is harder. Logan says he has no choice about how his life is going to go, and that his family forces everything on him, and screams that Rory cannot blame him from her dropping out of Yale. He finally calms down and tries to get her to leave with him, but she refuses. Throwing money down on the table to cover the bill and her cab fare home, he leaves, telling her that staying is her choice.
