It was fun to see Rory and Paris become better friends.
Luke time Luke shows his anger to lorelai maybe for the first time. If they become together in future, he will show more probably.
Lorelai gave the tickets to rory and her friends without asking to sookie. sookie got the tickets. They did not show how sookie reacted it but probably sookie was cool with it.
paris and rory get closer. Such teenagers. I hope rory does not go for tristin in future. such a creepy person. She harrassed rory lots of times.

[6.7/10] Nothing wrong with this one exactly, just a little more typical and less unique than I like to see from Gilmore Girls. The side humor was on point, with the funny miscellany of the rummage sale that Lorelai is spearheading and simultaneously scavenging, and the usual town oddballs waxing rhapsodic about their old junk.
What’s less effective is the Rory story, where she invited the rest of her pre-chosen study group (which, naturally, is Paris + the two mean girls) to come to her house to work and her project. At first, they’re all warming to Rory and Paris feels put out, but then at the concert, Rory and Paris bond a little and the ice melts a little and what do you know we’re Not So Different. I appreciate the show trying to humanize Paris, but we already knew that she likes Tristan, so that doesn’t add much. The show also doesn’t really tell us why except they both had rough families. And the fact that she’s a “good kid” who won’t go out with random boys but likes The Bangles is a perfectly fine but not particularly inspiring stretch of common ground for her and Rory to share.
It’s slightly more enjoyable when Lorelai goes full Mama Bear, tracking down the two mean girls who ran off with some guys and dressing them down. Paris’s envy of it gives us a little insight into her home life, but the episode comes on a bit too strong with that tack.
On Lorelai’s part of the episode, we don’t get much except that she likes Luke but can’t admit it to herself, which, again, we already knew. The will-they-won’t-they stuff with Luke and Lorelai is cute, but only when they’re together. Just having Lorelai obsess over Luke but deny it to herself is more standard-issue romcom stuff. It’s fine that the episode uses Luke’s ex-girlfriend’s old jacket as the conduit for that, but it’s a cliché story that doesn’t go much of anywhere.
Overall, it’s still an eminently watchable episode, but doesn’t do anything especially remarkable or noteworthy.
