Miserable in retirement, Richard (Edward Herrmann) is so desperate to do something useful that he agrees to mentor his granddaughter Rory's business-fair project. Once he's back on the job, however, the old spark roars into flame, and soon Richard is mapping out plans for a whole new career. Meanwhile, Dean (Jared Padalecki) mulls over various methods to win Rory (Alexis Bledel) back, and Lorelai inadvertently causes friction between her prissy concierge Michel (Yanic Truesdale) and his freewheeling French mother Gisèle (Janet Hubert-Whitten).
