At the urging of editor Doyle (Danny Strong) at the Yale Daily News, Rory (Alexis Bledel) writes a scathingly honest review of a ballet performance -- and begins receiving threatening letters as a result. Back in Stars Hollow, Lorelei (Lauren Graham) does not take well to the news that Luke (Scott Patterson) is still dating his ex-wife Nicole (Tricia O'Kelley); Jason (Christopher Eigeman) causes family friction when he wangles an invite to Richard and Emily's Friday Night Dinner; and Lane (Keiko Agena) is upset by a gift which her mother (Emily Kuroda) wants to send to her long-distance boyfriend, Dave. Finally, Michel (Yanic Truesdale) reports for work at the Dragonfly, only to be banned from meeting with new mom Sookie (Melissa McCarthy) because of a very slight head cold. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
