And where did Rory's father go? such important events and he is not there, but he used to resort to a little bit...was his character "merged" with the birth of his child?(
Here's one thing I don't understand, why couldn't I honestly tell Emily that they mixed up the numbers and didn't have time to prepare? And then at dinner, why, instead of listening to Emily swear at Lorelai, Rory couldn't say that it was partly her fault that her mother didn't come.
@Nanneke: It doesn't matter WHAT Emily says, any reason, any excuse is a condemning tirade, and no less a condemning face. It doesn't matter whose fault it is, it's still Lorelei's fault.
Oh, yeah. If you don't tell Emily ANYTHING, the result is the same. Maybe the tirade will be a LITTLE shorter, but there is no guarantee)))
@Oliverell22: I disagree. If Lorelai had said it herself, then yes, Emily wouldn't accept it. She still treats her granddaughter a little differently.
And this is a very convenient child's position. Not even a childish, but practically a victim's position. "I won't do anything, because I know the result." That is, to sit and listen to the mother being bullied and not even try to do something is OK. And as soon as it became uncomfortable for you, then immediately - "Mom, save me!" I decided to endure, so endure to the end. Well, or at least try to fix the situation yourself.
Rory just wants to be good for everyone. In this situation, she remains good for her grandmother - she came to dinner, does not contradict her, agrees to a terribly boring evening, her mother takes her away, and she is ready to stay. And if she tries to say "no", then immediately the percentage of her angelicness in the eyes of her grandmother will drop and she does not like it. Let it be better if Mom's relationship with her grandmother deteriorates even more. But she is a white and fluffy sufferer from all sides and in the eyes of both women. I repeat, the blame for the situation lies with Rory initially, because it was she who mixed up the dates.
@Nanneke: Lorelai is also often disgusting. Okay, he and his mother have a complicated relationship. They weren't shown to us when she was a child. And judging by Lorelai's character, it can be judged that the problem was not only in Emily, but also in Lori herself. Then she was a child, the struggle with her parents is understandable here. But now she is an adult woman, but in fact she has not grown up. I'm not saying that she is evil, she has a lot of good qualities, but there is one that she has not overcome since childhood. She's lying. And she lies to her mother all the time. If you try to speak openly right away and not cheat, then maybe they will start to believe you. Yes, perhaps not the first time, because it is difficult to cover years of lies at once. But one day this barrier will fall. Emily very often in previous seasons snaps at Laurie because she doesn't tell her the truth. Either he is lying openly and it is revealed, or he is talking some nonsense and evades the answer. You know, I would probably be biased against such a person too.
I agree with the comments above. I'm also amazed how Rory manages to stay so white and fluffy in the eyes of everyone around. Emily had no idea about all their grandiose plans for the Godfather, etc., from her point of view it looks like this: Lorelai and Rory just spent a vacation together in Europe, and Rory can't spend a few hours with his grandmother? This is childish. Rory mixed up the dates, agreed to a long dinner and watching the dance, also called with a request to pick herself up, Emily doesn't know about all this, Lorelai is to blame again. How they all suffer from communication, it's terrible
They spent so much time on Taylor, but they didn't show how Rory gave Lane a gift, that's why such little things with skipping are infuriating, sometimes it's appropriate, and sometimes you just wait for a certain moment to develop, it doesn't exist and it causes confusion, I even said "wtf" out loud a couple of times and every time I make a face at such moments, infuriating 😠
- Eisenhower thought it all out.

Rory is so beautiful, she really shines in this episode. It gets prettier every season
