Yah, I remember this part -- what you're describing is that MM was in
"first position" to Samantha Who rather than Gg. I think this change
of position status wrt Gg (where she'd otherwise have been in first
position) predates the question of whether or not Gg was going to go
on indefinite hiatus at the end of last season.

LORELAI: I am so done with plans. I am never, ever making one again.
It never works. I spend the day obsessing over why it didn't work
and what I could've done differently. I'm analyzing all my shortcomings
when all I really need to be doing is vowing to never, ever make a plan
ever again, which I'm doing now, having once again been the innocent
victim of my own stupid plans. God, I need some coffee.
