Title: Rory’s Dance
Another expositional title. Rory has a dance at school and she invites her maybe-boyfriend Dean.
Summary: Emily reads her Chilton Newsletter, Lorelai does not. Rory takes Dean to the dance, much to Tristan’s dismay. Paris brings her cousin. Madeline’s mom can make soup. Louise discovers Dean is 6’1″. Lorelai throws out her back and Emily makes her mushed banana on toast. Rory and Dean sleep on Miss Patty’s yoga mats. Lorelai and Emily freak.
Title: ‘S Wonderful, ‘S Marvelous
Funny Face! The jazz standard “‘S Marvelous” was sung by Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face, about a bookish girl getting plucked into the world of high society (ahem, Rory!). Coincidentally, it was also sung by Audrey Hepburn and Gene Kelly in An American in Paris. Fitting for Lorelai and Christopher’s Parisian lovefest (Season 7, Episode 7).
Summary: Lorelai and Christopher fight Snakes on a Plane, then go on a 1950s date. Menace-to-society Emily Gilmore finally gets nabbed. Rory makes popcorn with her new girlfriends. April likes avocado pits and being annoying. Luke goes to Target.
