Wish I had been when I watched this episode.
The first two episodes of Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life gave me so much hope and excitement, only to be dashed when “Summer” came along.
There were some high points.
The girls are enjoying time by the pool and Luke has donated a floatie hut.
Rory has decided not to be part of the Thirtysomething Gang and resurrects the Stars Hollow Gazette.
We finally get to see Jess, and he’s happy and printing books. He plants the seed in Rory’s mind to stop writing about other people, and to write what she knows. As usual, he pushes her to be someone better.
She finally ends things with Logan because Odette has moved in with him.
We also get to hear Sutton Foster sing, which is always fabulous. Especially her song at the end of the episode.
However, the lows in this episode are really low.
