| Notes on two more Season 3 episodes.
|
[snip]
| The last dinner shows us fallout from Richard's stunt in "Let the
| Games Begin". We see some of this earlier in the episode, when we
| learn that Lorelai has skipped a couple of dinners. But things
| really explode when Rory reveals that one of her applications is to
| Yale. A combination of surprise and Lorelai already being tense
| and suspicious. Things would likely have been calmer all around,
| if Richard had done the logical thing and just ASKED Rory to take
| the interview in LtGB. Lorelai does start to work toward
| acceptance of the possibility of Yale by the end of the episode.
I found this to be one of those times when Lorelai wildly (and annoyingly)
overreacts to something (that Rory applied to multiple schools, and that
one
of them was Yale). Also odd that Rory wouldn't let Lorelai know - since
there were all those applications (and associated fees, essays, etc),
although she was probably wanting to avoid just such a scene. Also, the
idea of applying to multiple schools (and having back-ups) seems like
common
knowledge, even if you did drop out early because you were pregnant.
