The heart of this episode was Logan and Rory's fledgling relationship. After Rory and Lorelai spot Logan on a lunch data and Rory responds with a facade of indifference, Rory's womanly scheme is to accept a date with one of Logan's friends to a Tarantino-themed party she knows Logan will attend. And, as the previews gave away, it works like a charm. Logan admits his jealousy and unsuccessfully tries to convince Rory that his friend is a jerk and they should both ditch their dates and leave together. The Tarantino costumes left a lot to be desired. Granted Rory looked great as Gogo, but what about everyone else? Boxing gloves and a robe, a bolero tie and long hair, a blood stained wedding dress - that's about as creative as they got. How about finding one of the T-shirts Jimmie gives Jules and Vincent? How about playing Marvin post-gunshot? How about Pam Grier's flight attendant costume? It makes me sad that Yale students have enough time to plan a Tarantino themed party but they don't have the time to think of a fun costume. Back in Stars Hollow, Michel returned from a California vacation, and boy is it fun to talk in a fruity French voice when you imitate Michel. His big news was an apppearance on "The Price is Right" (unfortunately no Bob Barker cameo) and $100k of winnings in the form of a Winnebago camper, which at first puts a strain on his relationship with Lorelai (who knew he cared!) but then leads to greater understanding and a stronger bond between them (awww). The episode ended with Luke/Emily confrontation #2. Wonderfully setup by Lorelai teaching Luke how to use his speed-dial earlier in the episode, Luke is able to summon Lorelai to save him from the berating. To no surprise, Emily's assumption that fixing her mistake would fix her relationship with Lorelai turned out to be entirely wrong. Obligatory Kirk reference: he was in this episode a lot as Luke's relationship advice leads him to move out of his mother's house without getting a new place to move into.
