Episode Report Card Al Lowe: B+ | 1 USERS: A+ YOU GRADE IT You're The Baptized!
By Al Lowe | Season 6 | Episode 4 | Aired on 10.03.2005
Kirk is in the back of the church asking a attendee if she's a Martha or Davey person. Davey is much more accessible, he says. "He's the Dandy Warhols to Martha's Brian Jonestown Massacre." (Ha, but kind of random, although, if you're interested and want to know what he's talking about, it is really interesting.) Beau comes in looking like Colonel Sanders and joins the family and in the front pew. The Reverend begins the service. Why can't they just give the church a denomination rather than its being Random Protestant Chapel? Anyway, he introduces the children and their godparents and then Jackson, who is also being baptized. Except, oops, Jackson doesn't have a godparent. Jackson, for some reason, chooses Beau to stand for him. The Reverend presents the candidates for baptism. Davey apparently has a nice name:,"David Edward Belleville," while Martha has about twelve names. Martha and Davey are so beautiful by the way, I would like to eat them. I don't know why Martha has so many names. I missed the episode where she was born. Sigh...if only there was a web site I could go on and maybe read some kind of recap of what happened...oh, yeah.
The Rev. asks the pertinent questions, "Do you renounce Satan?" being the first. He puts it to Lorelai, but she is so busy straining not to look at Rory that she doesn't hear it. Sookie has to elbow her and ask why she isn't answering. She renounces. While the minister is asking Rory the question, Lorelai whispers to Sookie, asking how she got in touch with Rory for all of this, seeing as how her number was disconnected. Rory shoots Lorelai a dirty look while saying that she, too, renounces Satan. The Reverend passes on to Beau, who is clearly the only one of these people worthy of being a godparent: "Satan can kiss my ass." Love it. Rory and Lorelai start whisper-fighting about the cell-phone number, and how Sookie got it, because she obviously must have had it, since Sookie called her to come and be a godparent. The minister tries to interrupt, but rather than shutting up and acting right, Rory and Lorelai do the natural Gilmore thing and leave the service, taking the CHILDREN out on the porch, to continue to fight. Lorelai is losing it. Rory is trying to defend herself, saying that she lost her cell phone and that Sookie called her at The Grandparents' and got in touch with her that way, but Lorelai irrationally barges ahead, yelling that she should have just suspended her service, or something, and that it's ridiculous to even get a new number. Martha and Davey are, of course, mortified, and even though they are babies, they at least know not to act like fools up in church, and stay silent throughout this craziness. Rory says that, next time, she'll just suspend her service, and Sookie steps out to bring the Gilmores back in. I'd feel sorry for Sookie having her kids' baptism ruined, but since she arranged this whole reunion, I totally don't.
