The eagle has landed in Stars Hollow. We repeat: The eagle has landed in Stars Hollow. A retired Richard is driving Emily mad, so she calls in her blackmail-acquired favor from last episode and sends him off to spend the day in Stars Hollow with his daughter. Lorelai is at a loss for how to interact with her father and despite his (questionably) best intentions, Richard can’t help but critique everything Lorelai does — including how she conducts business, dresses, drinks coffee in the morning, orders Chinese food, or the gifts she allows Rory to accept from her boyfriend. (Oh yeah, in case you forgot, Dean is an amazing boyfriend and BUILDS RORY A CAR. Sorry for yelling, but it had to be said. - R) We’ll see you in Stars Hollow for this super long episode. Stick around until the end to hear Nugs munching on some popcorn during Pop Culture Corner — don’t say we never gave you anything! . .
