The following commentary is based on my own musings while viewing Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life (Spring) and is my second time viewing the episode. This article contains SPOILERS!
1. Lorelai and Emily are at therapy. This'll be interesting.
2. Why is no one talking? This is very awkward.
3. Good to know everything is allowed in therapy.
4. You're totally keeping score, Claudia. Don't lie.
5. I wish they still played the original theme song.
6. There aren't any rules in therapy, either?
7. I think this is the longest therapy session ever aired on a TV show...
8. Lorelai's reaction to the session being over is how I feel after every class period has ended.
9. Poor Emily...
10. Aw, Petal.
11. Rory, where could you possibly be heading off to? You must have a lot of miles to use up for all of the flights you've been taking recently.
12. I'm not surprised that not all 195 countries showed up to the Stars Hollow International Food Festival.
13. Kirk: And Singapore's just being a dick.
14. Lorelai: Ooh, this looks good, what is this?
Luke: That's the compost heap.
Lorelai: Oh. I am really hungry.
15. Hey, Mrs. Kim. Your choir sucks.
16. Sandee from Sandee Says, was on Bunheads. With Kelly Bishop and Sutton Foster. Just in case you were wondering.
17. Aw, the Bid-a-Basket!
18. Jeesh. That tambourine is scaring the poor Korean choir.
19. Mr. Kim FINALLY makes an appearance. Took him long enough.
20. JACKSON!!!!!
21. Pig Genocide. Poor Petal.
22. And Rory is back in London.
23. Rory, you're not going to get anything out of this drunken woman.
24. Facts are dull. Good to know.
25. That's a lot of doodles, Rory. I thought you were supposed to being taking notes?
26. Lunch with Logan, a man I am assuming is still engaged to Odette.
27. Rory: My brain is fried.
Same, Rory. Same.
28. MITCHUM HUNTZBERGER!!!!!
29. They're in touch in more ways than one, Mitchum. More. Than. One.
30. Yep, Logan's still engaged.
31. Of course it's one of the family's holdings.
32. BOOTSY!!!!!
33. There aren't enough gays in Stars Hollow. Are we forgetting about Michel? And his husband?
34. I'm pretty sure Gypsy is hinting to Taylor that he's gay and just hasn't come out, yet.
35. ANDREW!!!!!
36. Twinkle lights are still a thing in Stars Hollow. Shocker.
37. There's a secret bar in Stars Hollow? Why is this just now a thing?
38. Jeesh, Michel. Tell us how you really feel.
39. Michel: AND WHAT'S THE POINT OF LIVING IF WE'RE NEVER GOING TO BAG JENNIFER LAWRENCE?!?!
40. Liz and T.J. joined a cult. A vegetable cult. On accident. How? HOW?
41. I love Luke and Lorelai's new remodel on the house. So cozy.
42. The Dragonfly has not peaked.
43. Luke: You want me to talk to him?
Lorelai: The last time you talked to him he spent an hour in my office crying.
44. Lorelai's having Paul Anka dreams again.
45. I need Rory's dress.
46. Damn you for leaving and screwing everything up, Sookie.
47. I need Lorelai's dress, too.
48. Lorelai and Emily are back for round two of therapy.
49. Emily: As a matter of fact, I do have some outstanding issues.
Lorelai: Poked the bear, poked the bear.
50. If Lorelai didn't write the letter, then who sent it? Gran? She did send a letter to Richard the night before he was supposed to marry Emily begging him not to marry her. I wouldn't put it past her.
51. Look at Rory and Logan being all cute. However, HE'S GETTING MARRIED, RORY! FIND A NEW MAN!
52. Logan: I gotta get going.
Rory: But you're my pillow.
53. Odette's coming to town. Are we ever going to officially meet her?
54. I have never seen Eraserhead.
55. LULU!!!!!
56. Kirk, you look terrifying.
57. MAURY!!!!!
58. A Second Film by Kirk. Yes. And Petal is in, too. Double yes.
59. Okay, this is a little creepy.
60. Poor Petal...
61. Why is Emily calling Luke?
62. Kirk, that's a stuffed pig.
63. Why does Emily want Luke to come over for dinner?
64. Luke: I know exactly how that pig feels.
65. THE GILMORE GUYS!!!!! Look up their podcasts. They're excellent!
66. Michel is in New York. That can't be good.
67. They would have Rachael Ray be a guest chef for the Dragonfly.
68. Luke swallowed a bug.
69. Berta's still Emily's maid. I think that's the longest a maid has ever stuck around.
70. Rory's back!
71. Rory kissing Richard's portrait makes me want to cry for days.
72. I wanna see Rory's lucky outfit.
73. Uh-oh. Emily's taking Luke into Richard's study.
74. Wood-y, Luke? That's all you could come up with?
75. Richard would have an Actuarial Life Table for everyone.
76. Again with the expanding and franchising Luke's Diner? When will you learn?
77. Hard to believe Richard left money for Luke.
78. Chilton still looks the same. Exactly the same.
79. HEADMASTER CHARLESTON!!!!!
80. Headmaster Charleston: There is no one quite like Paris Gellar.
81. Lorelai is hair goals.
82. Booty Buddies? Never thought I'd hear those words come out of Emily's mouth.
83. Emily, there is nothing wrong with dating someone for several years before getting married.
84. Rory's Chilton talk is calm and mild-mannered, giving hope to the students that sit before her. The talk Paris is giving is the exact opposite. I would expect nothing less.
85. TRISTIN!!!!! Except that is definitely not Chad Michael Murray.
86. Paris is freaking out over seeing Tristin. Girl, you are so over him. Don't let him mess with your head.
87. There is nothing in the briefcase Paris is carrying.
88. I wish I had the skill to kick a door shut whilst standing on one leg in three inch heels like Paris.
89. That was also definitely the best part of this episode so far.
90. FRANCIE!!!!!
91. Yes, you did accidentally step back into 2003, Francie.
92. Rory be a teacher? That'd be interesting.
93. You're going through a bad stretch, Rory. Accept it.
94. Paris: Blow my colon.
Well, that's a new one.
95. Paris lives in a five-story home. Wow.
96. DOYLE!!!!!
97. Aw, Paris has a little boy and a little girl.
98. Rory's going to babysit?
99. Sandee, that's a little creepy.
100. No, Rory. Don't fall into the Huntzberger favor trap again!
101. Rory called Logan in the middle of the night and Odette is right there sleeping next to him.
102. Aw, Logan still calls Rory, "Ace."
103. You can be a part of that world, Rory. Don't worry. Your time will come.
104. Emily's quitting therapy?
105. I guess Emily's quitting therapy.
106. Learning the specifics about Richard's death also makes me want to cry for days.
107. I will not cry. I will not cry. I will not...damn it.
108. Lorelai: It was always supposed to be Luke.
109. Your father will always hover, Lorelai. He's Richard freaking Gilmore.
110. Why is Emily at the diner?
111. Emily, Luke does not want to franchise the diner. Period. MOVE ON.
112. This Ida woman is annoying.
113. STOP TRYING TO DRIVE A WEDGE IN BETWEEN LUKE AND LORELAI, EMILY!
114. Lorelai, stop lying to Luke.
115. Lorelai: I love this scene. But I can't watch this scene. But I love this scene.
116. There goes Rory's book proposal.
117. But now she's going to do a piece on lines in New York City.
118. Lorelai: Oh! Crabby Rory alert!
119. Rory's stress tapping again.
120. Rory fell asleep while conducting an interview.
121. Aw, it's Lauren Graham's other TV daughter, Mae Whitman.
122. I need Lorelai and Rory's closets. Their clothes are fabulous.
123. Rory had sex with a guy dressed in a wookiee costume as her first one-night-stand.
124. Rory: And if you say, 'Did you take the Millennium Falcon?' I'm gonna smack you.
125. Rory, you don't need to have one-night-stands. It's fine. Ignore the dating culture that has unfortunately befallen our world.
126. I also need Rory's shoes.
127. I completely forgot about Paul.
128. Rory just told Lorelai about Logan. And Odette. Craaap.
129. I don't have a clue, either, Rory.
130. Lorelai has secretly had Rory's lucky outfit all along in her closet. Why am I not surprised by this?
131. Lorelai: What's up with not telling me about Logan?
132. Lorelai's right, Rory. Your life has been pretty easy so far. Take the curve balls it's throwing at you.
133. Pot roast, mashed potatoes, and a banana split sound delicious.
134. Lorelai: Wait, wait. Seriously. Did he leave the outfit on?
Rory: That's a conversation for another day.
135. I want Rory's lucky outfit.
136. Word honey?
137. Rory, why are you not prepared for this interview?
138. Crabby Rory is showing her face again.
139. Sandee: Get a better phone!
Rory: Get a better office!
Sandee: Get a better attitude!
Rory: Get a better life!
Sandee: Get lost!
Rory: Get...shorty!
140. Breaking all of your cell phones into pieces and throwing them away is probably a little excessive.
141. And Rory's officially moving home.
142. I can't tell if Lorelai is happy or upset about this?
