Episode 7.01: The Long Morrow
Airdate: September 26, 2006

• 09/19 - Lorelai gets hit in the face and gets a black eye! But don't worry--it's not a domestic dispute, but rather a racquetball incident that happens when she and Rory hit the racquetball court to try to get their minds off their troubled relationships. Also, Christopher calls and asks Lorelai out! Source: Kristin on E!Online
• 09/14 - [Gilmore show-runner David Rosenthal reveals: Episodes] 1 and 2 are pretty continuous. We view them as a two-hour Gilmore Girls movie. It's just a lot of emotional stuff that we're facing. [There's a line in the first episode where Lorelai tells Luke it's over.] Time has a way of healing. She means it, but is that the case forever? I don't believe that. Do I think Luke and Lorelai ultimately are soul mates? I do. I really do. But does that mean they're gonna run off together tomorrow and live happily ever after? No. But I think it seems like they're at a point where they both have some regrowing and changing to do and some things to figure out. It's over for now. Source: The Ausiello Report
• 09/14 - The seventh-season opener picks up where the last one ended, with Lorelai in bed with Christopher the morning after her argument with Luke. Now she faces the reality of her impulsive act and her belief that the engagement is over. She spends time with Rory, who is puzzled by a mysterious gift that Logan left her. Meanwhile, Taylor has a red-light camera installed in front of the diner, which leads to an accident that angers the already agitated Luke. Gypsy: Rose Abdoo. Lulu: Rini Bell. Source: TV Guide Online
• 09/11 - Picking up on the day after last season's finale, Lorelai wakes up in bed with Christopher. Confused and mortified, she makes a hasty exit, ignoring Christopher's pleas that she stay. Once at home, Lorelai tries to get rid of everything that reminds her of Luke and ends up practically emptying her house. Rory receives a toy rocket ship as a parting gift from Logan and is baffled as to its meaning. She decides she should join him in London for the summer, only to learn he has bought her a ticket for a visit at Christmas. Kirk and Taylor cause a bizarre accident that damages Luke's diner. Finally, Luke shows up at Lorelai's door and asks her to elope. Melissa McCarthy, Yanic Truesdale and Liza Weil also star. Source: The CW
• 09/05 - The episode looked, sounded and felt like a typical hour of Gilmore Girls. Actually, I would rank it up there with some of the show's most entertaining episodes. The pacing and tone were what we have come to expect — and love — and, despite all the sturm und drang of the Luke/Lorelai/Christopher triangle, it was funny. Very funny. At times, even hysterical. And there was also a fair share of romance courtesy of Rory, Logan and a two-foot-tall rocket ship. Any scene that ends with Babette explaining to Lorelai how she'd like her "intimates" dried is a winner in my book. Paris's SAT-tutoring business exceeded all of my comedic expectations. When a mother of one of the control freak's potential pupils asks why they both have to take a preliminary aptitude test, Paris barks, "Basically, I need to know how much of this is her fault and how much of it is yours." The funniest Paris line is also the one most likely to fly right past you, so pay really close attention. Taylor's decision to install a red-light camera to catch lawbreakers leads to all sorts of frivolity, not to mention one of the funniest Kirk sight gags ever. Although some of you will likely groan at the mere thought of Lorelai and Rory playing a sport, the Girls' racquetball game/exercise in distraction works precisely because it is so preposterous. And if you had any doubt whether Rosenthal could nail AS-P's signature prose, consider this line, in which Rory tells Lorelai that there was nothing good about her tearful good-bye to Logan: "It's a very poorly-named ritual," she laments. "It was a bad-bye, very bad-bye." Speaking of Rory and her beau, the aforementioned rocket was a gift from London-bound Logan and is, initially, a source of great angst for his favorite Girl. I don't want to reveal why, but I will say the symbolic gesture ultimately brings them closer together than ever. (Hint: It all goes back to the episode title, "The Long Morrow.") Ironically, the weakest part of the episode was something boss man Rosenthal likely had little control over: Lauren Graham's emotionally guarded performance. Don't get me wrong, LG was at her gloriously pithy best. [...] But much of the episode called for Lorelai to be distraught over what she had done to Luke (i.e. bedding Christopher), and, unfortunately, LG rarely gives you a sense of that anguish. Lorelai behaves as if she had just broken up with some poor schlub she dated for a few weeks — a Max, for crying out loud — rather than the love of her life. The final, heartbreaking scene should have torn Lorelai's insides up but instead elicits little more than a frown. The way it plays, she's not devastated, she pities Luke. Huh? Perhaps a line change in the episode may shed some light on the show's direction this season – and, possibly, the increased creative role LG has in this post-Palladino era. In a telephone conversation with Christopher, Lorelai — according to Rosenthal's original script — told her ex this "will never happen again." This, of course, being the dirty deed. But on screen, the line was delivered as, "I don't think it should happen again." Source: The Ausiello Report
• 08/09 - [Luke and Lorelai have a scene together and it is really sad.] Source: Ask Ausiello @ TV Guide
• 07/23 - The episode is going to be a tough one for Luke and Lorelai fans to watch. Really tough. [However,] the episode left no doubt in my mind that Lorelai and Luke are meant for each other. And Logan and Rory fans will be swooning as a result. Sure, the episode finds them on opposite continents, but Rosenthal has found a way to bring them closer together than I think they've ever been. All I'll say is his method is sweet, utterly romantic, and it ties in with the episode title, "The Long Morrow." And the end result should put Matt Czuchry fans' mind at ease. (At least for the short term.) Rory and Lorelai spend some quality time together at a racquetball court. There's a very silly subplot involving Michel, Sookie and arm wrestling. Lorelai makes a passing reference to the title of one of the best Gilmore Girls episodes ever. I was left with the impression that there will be a significant time lapse between Episodes 1 and 2. Emily, Richard, Lane, April and Anna are MIA, but the rest of the supporting cast is pretty much accounted for. Source: The Ausiello Report
• 07/14 - Paris starts a small business to help student prep for the SATs. She meets a student named Kaitlin and her mother. After being brutally honest about what she thinks of Kaitlin, she agrees to help her study for the SATs. She then has the mother and the daughter take an aptitude test to know what potential Kaitlin has and what comes from genetics. At the diner, Luke is particularly irritated especially when a customer tries to leave without paying his bill. When Taylor's Thunderbird is stranded in front of the diner, Taylor wants it to stay there until the insurance company takes a look at it. Luke must decide if he wants it towed or not. Being depressed and unsure, Luke can't make a decision. Source: SpoilerFix.com

Episode 7.02: That's What You Get, Folks, For Makin' Whoopee
Airdate: October 3, 2006

• 09/21 - Lane and Zack return from their honeymoon in Mexico, each with their own unique horror story; Lorelai has an emotionally painful encounter with Luke that's compounded by an ugly confrontation with Rory after she learns that her mom slept with Christopher; and Luke finds out that Kirk has opened an eatery that is nearly a copy of his. Fred: David Greenman. Customer: George Bell. Source: TV Guide Online
• 09/20 - I complained that Lorelai just wasn't upset enough in the season premiere about what she had done to Luke. The breakdown comes in Episode 2, and it's a heart-crusher. Overall, it was another stellar outing, highlighted by Lane's big ********* news, two pivotal run-ins between L&L (one in a busy intersection, another in a supermarket — a real supermarket, not some cheesy set piece), yet another Battlestar Galactica reference, and a riotous "guest appearance" by Sandra Oh. Source: Ask Ausiello @ TV Guide [Note: The ** surely stand for "pregnancy."]
• 09/16 - Rory is upset over Logan's absence and the fact that they had to cancel their long-planned trip to Asia. Wanting to cheer Rory up and take her mind off her own sad love life, Lorelai turns her house into an Asian-themed wonderland. Lane returns from her disastrous honeymoon. While repairing the damage to the diner, Luke tells T.J. (guest star Michael DeLuise) about his break-up with Lorelai, prompting T.J. and Liz (guest star Kathleen Whilhoite) to insist that Luke cover over for dinner and sympathy. When Luke and Lorelai run into each other in town, Luke can't hide his anger over their breakup. Finally, Rory is furious when she learns that Lorelai slept with Christopher (David Sutcliffe). Melissa McCarthy and Sean Gunn also star. Source: The CW
• 09/14 - [Gilmore show-runner David Rosenthal reveals:] Luke will definitely be heading somewhere when we come up in Episode 2, but I don't wanna ruin it. I think people will be very curious and interested to see where he's going. Source: The Ausiello Report

Episode 7.03: Lorelai's First Cotillion
Airdate: October 10, 2006

• 09/23 - When Richard and Emily have no real reaction to the news of her break up with Luke, Lorelai suddenly realizes that most of her emotional life has been based on doing and feeling the opposite of whatever her parents want. Later, when Michel forces Lorelai to attend Emily’s beautiful cotillion dance, Lorelai discovers that some things her parents wanted for her weren’t really that terrible. Rory has a tough time making her long-distance relationship with Logan work. After taking Rory out for a father/daughter dinner, Christopher makes a startling confession to Lorelai. Melissa McCarthy and Keiko Agena also star. Source: The CW
• 09/14 - [Gilmore show-runner David Rosenthal reveals:] There will be a few weeks between [episodes] 2 and 3. Source: The Ausiello Report
• 08/18 - One of the girls in Emily's cotillion class reminds Lorelai of herself as a youngster. "Lorelai kind of sees herself in this girl, and is kind of reflecting on her life and her choices," Rosenthal explains. "It's kind of a moment for Lorelai to reexamine herself. I think this whole thing with Luke and the nonwedding has Lorelai thinking, 'Whoa — how did I get here and what do I really want and why did this not happen? She’s definitely in a reflective mode." Source: Ask Ausiello @ TV Guide
• 08/09 - I just learned that GG's traditional summertime skip will take place between Episodes Three and Four. The first three episodes are essentially one continuous arc. Source: Ask Ausiello @ TV Guide
• 08/06 - During SATs prep classes, Paris is highly impatient with one of her tutors. Eric, the teen Rory tutors, has a huge crush on her. Source: SpoilerFix.com
• 08/02 - Lorelai and Rory go to the Gilmores. There they meet 10-year-old Charlotte, the granddaughter of Emily and Richard's friends. Charlotte acts a bit like she is the Gilmores' maid of the episode in order to make up for a class on table manners she missed the previous week. Charlotte, along with other young teenage girls, will attend a cotillion. As the title of the episode says, Lorelai will attend the event. At Yale, Paris supervises tutors who are helping students prep for the SATs. Rory acts as a tutor. Michel also appears. Source: SpoilerFix.com

Source: SpoilerFix.com

General Spoilers:

• 09/20 - [David Sutcliffe] told me at Monday's launch party that he's currently in talks "about doing a number of episodes in the last nine." [This would make his stay longer than 13 episodes.] Source: Ask Ausiello @ TV Guide
• 09/14 - [Gilmore show-runner David Rosenthal reveals:] There are so many ramifications [from the night Lorelai and Christopher spent together], not only for Lorelai and for Luke, but you know, for Rory and for Christopher. Something like this sends shockwaves out, so there's a lot to deal with. There's still obviously a lot of other fun stuff going on, but in terms of emotionally, yeah, there's a lot of fallout. I also feel like the first five or six episodes are really kind of setting Luke and Lorelai on a course for the season. And it's gonna take a few episodes for us to get them out at sea and on their journeys for the year. [Luke and Lorelai] definitely are on separate journeys, but their journeys will also intersect and overlap. It won't be like Luke's over here and Lorelai's over there and never the two shall meet... not at all. They're on their own journeys, but those journeys will come together. [Christopher's a big part of [Lorelai's] life and he's a big part of Rory's life. This past season he really showed a different side, a more patient side, a more mature side. And I feel like he's earned their trust in a way he really hasn't before, and he's in their lives in a way he really hasn't been before. [Lorelai and Christopher will] certainly [be back together romantically], given what's happened... yeah. Absolutely. [April and Anna will] absolutely [be part of Luke's journey]. Those relationships will continue to intensify. The Luke and Lorelai relationship will impact [Richard and Emily]. They've always been very conflicted about Luke and his role in Lorelai's life. Also, Richard is going to be offered a guest lecturership at Yale, so he'll be on campus and around Rory. Emily, as part of her DAR work, is doing a little cotillion training for young girls. She's running her own little etiquette school, which will be very funny. I think it'll really be a great thing for her. There also might be some health issues coming up this year [for Richard]. So that's something that could impact them significantly in terms of his work and also kind of Emily's role in his life and their dynamic. I think health issues can create stress and conflict and trauma in a family, but they can also bring the family together. It can bring mothers and daughters close together and it can bring grandparents and grandchildren close together. There will be multiple babies born this season. There also will be a marriage. Logan will be a major part of [Rory's] life this year, and they will find ways to be together. [Marty] makes kind of a surprising appearance when she's least expecting it. And whether intentionally or unintentionally, he definitely stirs up some trouble in her personal life in a big way. He really causes her a lot of problems. Marty's grown up a little. He's developed a thicker skin; he's a little tougher. He's not such a boy anymore. His actions will definitely cause trouble in Rory's life. Mr. Kim is a mystery. Perhaps one day that mystery will be answered, but there are no plans now. Source: The Ausiello Report
• 08/30 - Richard will get a teaching gig at Yale and Emily will start training young girls in the fine art of etiquette. Later in the season, Richard will face a medical crisis that show-runner Dave Rosenthal says will have a "profound impact" on the entire Gilmore clan. "Health issues can create stress and conflict and trauma in a family, but they can also bring the family together," he adds. "It's something that will affect not only Emily but Rory and Lorelai, too." Source: Ask Ausiello @ TV Guide
• 08/09 - "That will not be happening — I promise," says [show-runner Dave Rosenthal when asked if Lorelai will get pregnant and then do a "Who's the daddy" mystery]. Rosenthal can also promise that within the first couple of episodes, Stars Hollow will experience a bit of a baby boom. Translation: Luke's sister, Liz, isn't the only one expecting. "There will be more than two babies born this season." Oh, and one more thing: "There also will be a marriage this season," he reveals. "I can’t say exactly when, but somebody’s getting hitched." "Do I think Luke and Lorelai ultimately are soul mates?" [says Rosenthal,] "I do. I really do. But does that mean they’re going to run off together tomorrow and live happily ever after? No. They’re at a point where they both have some regrowing and changing to do, and some things to figure out." Source: Ask Ausiello @ TV Guide
• 08/02 - Dave Rosenthal confirmed Wayne Wilcox's return in my Q&A with him. I'm hearing that a mishap at Luke's Diner will lead Kirk to open his own eatery across the street. Source: Ask Ausiello @ TV Guide
• 07/21 - "A baby will be born," Rina [Mimoun] tells me. "Perhaps even more than one baby. Stars Hollow is growing." Source: Kristin on E!Online
• 07/21 - David Rosenthal reveals: [In the first six episodes], the repercussions from the end of last season will play out. That's something that is not going to just disappear. It's a major shift, a major change in everybody's lives. It affects not just Lorelai and Christopher and Luke, but Rory as well. There are a lot of consequences, and we fully intend to explore them — the positive and the negative. Rory's going to try to engage in a long-distance relationship. He's going to be in London; she's going to be in college. Obviously, it's a very challenging and difficult thing, and it's going to present obstacles for the two of them. But they're very much in love, so they're really going to work hard to make it work. He's very much on the show and very much a part of her life, but it's from thousands of miles away. There will be people in her life, male and female. Perhaps the return of characters from past seasons. Marty perhaps will be returning in her social circles, and perhaps some new friends who we have yet to meet. Again, not only did Logan graduate, but Colin and Finn, too. A lot of the people she spent a lot of time with over the season have moved on, so she has to find a new life for herself at Yale. April is a part of [Luke's] life. Luke is going to have some issues this year in terms of his deepening relationship with April and his relationship with Anna. There's a lot to get into there, and we will spend a great deal of time exploring that as well. [Lorelai and Christopher] certainly have to deal with what happened, and it is not a simple thing; it has far-reaching consequences. So, yeah... he's in the show a lot. He's going to be around a lot. I don't want to give away too much, but yeah, he's a major part of her life this year. Absolutely. Source: The Ausiello Report
• 07/13 - My Stars Hollow mole tells me the first six episodes are going to be very, very, very dramatic for Luke and Lorelai. Source: Ask Ausiello @ TV Guide
• 07/05 - Milo Ventimiglia did dish about a possible return to Gilmore Girls, saying it's "never going to happen" — especially now that Team Palladino have hit the road. "I felt [Jess' story] was done a long time ago, but Dan and Amy kept saying, 'We got some cool things, and we're really hoping you'll be a part of it.' So I went back and I kind of enjoyed what Jess turned into. He turned into a grown-up. Watching that last episode, I was like, 'It's done.'" Source: Ask Ausiello @ TV Guide
• 03/15/2006 - Gilmore Girls will be back next season with at least 22 episodes. Source: Ask Ausiello @ TV Guide
• 02/24/2006 - I've just been informed by my crusty Gilmore mole that Matt Czuchry has sealed a deal to return for the show's seventh — and likely final — season. Per my spy, Czuchry is committed to appearing in at least 13 of 22 episodes, the same arrangement he had this season. Although this is no guarantee that Rory and Logan will ride off into the Stars Hollow sunset together, it certainly bodes well for the young lovers. Source: The Ausiello Report
• 01/04/2006 - Here are some other subjects AS-P tackled during our brief chat last week. Trouble ahead for L&L? "We like up and down courses. We don't like one straight line. So, there's going to be some troubles ahead, but we all know that Luke and Lorelai belong together. Whatever troubles that they hit, there's a deep belief that, at some point, these two people really should just suck it up and get it over with." Rumors that Kirk won't be back next season? "Bulls--t." Marty? "We're looking for the right spot to bring him back because we love him. We don't have it yet, but we are looking for it." Source: Ask Ausiello @ TV Guide
• 04/06/2005 - Amy Sherman-Palladino has already written the final scene of the show (which will be between Rory and Lorelai) even though it's not known when the series will end. She hopes to end the show with Rory's Yale graduation. Source: Ask Ausiello @ TV Guide [Note: It is unknown if the new writing team will keep this ending
