Uh-oh. We do not want to say it, but we didn't love this episode.
We are trying to figure out exactly why. It has great scenes and hilarious moments, of course. But, something was "off". That being said, in the last few minutes when Dean and Luke talk and Rory breaks down...it felt like the Gilmore Girls we know and love.
Don't hate us for saying it, help us understand.
