Episode Report Card Pamie: A- | 0 USERS: N/A YOU GRADE IT Luke Gets Drunk
By Pamie | Season 4 | Episode 13 | Aired on February 9, 2004
And then there's this moment where in any other show the drunk guy who loves the girl would pull her down to him and give her a big, inappropriate kiss that will be discussed for a full season. But here, because this show is so much better than that and we don't need it handed to us, there's just this quick thing Luke does. He grunts a little, and moves his hand near Lorelai's hip, as if it feels natural to pull her down and kiss her, but he remembers just before that they don't do that. It would be even better if there wasn't this bizarre Luke-kinda-has-a-wife thing going on this season, but I'm able to forget about Nicole as easily as the rest of the people involved with this show, so why don't you, too? Lorelai walks off, and Luke's still looking at his hand that's where Lorelai used to be standing, and the plinky-plinky guitar reminds us why we like this show, with its scenes that end like this.
Jess offers to help Gypsy to speed up the process. She thinks it would help if he wasn't there. Lorelai walks over. "Jess!" she shouts. Gypsy notes that Lorelai sounds mad. Lorelai tells Jess that he's been in town less than twenty-four hours, and she already wants to kill him. She calls him out for talking to Luke the way he did, for having no respect for Luke's feelings, and for being such a little jerk. Scarf count: Twelve. Jess says that this isn't about Luke, it's about Rory. Lorelai comments that Jess is the one who keeps saying Rory's name, so maybe for him this is all about Rory. She asks if he came back because he's hung up on her. Jess says he's not. Lorelai gloats that Rory has moved on, and that she's happy now. Jess asks Gypsy to hurry up so that he can get out of there. "I second that," Lorelai says, and then walks off. The closed captioning tells me that Jess "[sighs]" here, but I sure don't hear it.
