Lorelai (Lauren Graham) finally discovers how Luke truly feels about her -- and vice versa -- while both attending his sister Liz's (Kathleen Wilhoite) Renaissance-themed wedding. In other developments, when her date abandons her at a boozy party, Rory (Alexis Bledel) accepts a ride home from her ex-boyfriend Dean (Jared Padalecki), thereby infuriating Jess (Milo Ventimiglia). Lane (Keiko Agena) is paid a visit by her estranged mom (Emily Kuroda) -- a visit that ends as abruptly as it begins. Emily (Kelly Bishop) is hesitant about admitting to Lorelai that Richard (Edward Herrmann) has left her. And Paris (Liza Weil) prepares to fly off to England...but not alone. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
