This episode has a ton going on. As I rewatch the series as an adult I tend to find myself siding more with Emily. I do love her in this episode but I also feel for Lorelei just wanting her to shut up- been there! There is almost a parallel between Rory and Paris and Lorelei and Emily. From the beginning of the series they started off as complete fools and opponents. This episode they are "friends or whatever they are" and actually break that wall and become friends or start to.

We also actually see Jess connect with Paris, the first person he actually carries on a conversation with other than Rory (even if they are disagreeing).

Dean is the absolute worst! He is so controlling and over reacts. I get he is a teenaged boy and they are like that (I mean all teenagers are!) but seriously - he blows up and doesn't listen to her at all. Rory said don't come over. He comes over anyway. He is mad Paris was there when there was an explanation. Yes I'd be angry if I were him and Jess was there but they weren't alone and Jess had obviously brought food over it wasn't as if Rory invited him instead of Dean. The more I watch this the more I just can't with Dean!

I do like this episode a lot. I like how Emily gets uncomfortable. We see that she doesn't just Judge Lorelei to be judgy, she truly feels that way as she puts the same judgment on herself. She overreacts. "I don't go to chop houses". That was a nicer restaurant. I can see not eating at the bar but not going to a steak house! It wasn't like a 24 hour truck stop!

Rants over. Good episode to further character and relationship development.

Rory lies to everyone, and Dean is redeemed. She's horrible, not only because she's cheating Dean, but she's doing it with a horrible person that keeps on picking on her boyfriend.

I just read the opinion saying that now that she's an adult she can see things clearly. And that might be true.. for some. Because Dean was not horrible or "the worst" by any means.

Being an adult doesn't make you wise. Many adults keep on being 1d10ts. In this case, that "adult" should have reason that Dean is an adolescent and it is perfectly fine to feel this way. Rory is clearly cheating on him. She didn't kissed Jess yet, but she's blatantly doing it in other aspects, that any young people should pick on, imagine an adult. But no, Shannon can't do it. Can't take the hint.

Rory is a horrible person and no amount of excuses like "being young" would suffice. She lies.

She didn't even respect the "home alone" thing so she can do whatever alone, she says so to Dean, close the door and propose immediately to Paris to stay over. WTF? Cognitive dissonance or she's an AH. Or both.

And I get that Paris don't have the full picture and she was helped by Rory, but lying to Dean about why Jess was there to get Rory out of the hook was not wise. It was obvious that she was lying and wanted Jess to be there, and only kicking him out when she was about to get busted.. she she knew how to do it in the first place, if she didn't, it was because she didn't wanted.. and at the end, she wants to ensure her positive public image remains... because.. you know "she's so special" BS!!
