Romantic intrigues this week include Lorelai's (Lauren Graham) efforts to repair the marriage of her parents Richard (Edward Herrmann) and Emily (Kelly Bishop) and her about-face support for the relationship between Rory (Alexis Bledel) and Dean (Jared Padalecki). Also, the volatile Kirk (Sean Gunn) grows closer to his brother's ex-girlfriend Lulu (Rini Bel); Jackson (Jackson Douglas) finds that his civic responsibilities are interfering with his marriage to Sookie (Melissa McCarthy); and Lane (Keiko Agena) changes her mind about erstwhile beau Zach (Todd Lowe). And in a sidebar moment, Lorelai introduces Luke to the joys of Pippi Longstocking.
