There's plenty on the table in this episode. For starters, Jackson (Jackson Douglas) tries to provide Lorelai (Lauren Graham) with an explanation for Sookie's weird behavior. Next, the child-custody battle between Luke (Scott Patterson) and Anna (Sherilyn Fenn, in her final series appearance) heats up thanks to Anna's take-no-prisoners lawyer. Then, Christopher (David Sutcliffe) reads Lorelei's letter of recommendation for Luke, which convinces him once and for all that he is merely a "consolation husband." And finally, though Rory (Alexis Bledel) is friends again with Lucy (Krysten Ritter), her happiness is cut short when she witnesses her grandfather Richard (Edward Herrmann) suffering a heart attack right in the middle of economics class!
