Rory offers to help Logan write an article for the Yale Daily, but she is disappointed when he doesn't invite her to be his date at a book signing party thrown by his father. When Richard sees Emily talking to a man she dated, he rear-ends her car, forcing her to ride home with him. The Gilmores reconcile and decide to renew their wedding vows. Emily warns Christopher that Lorelai and Luke are getting serious and he had better do something quickly if he hopes to end up with Lorelai.

While the town takes sides in the breakup, dumped and devastated Lorelai takes to her bed...and Rory rides to the rescue in Logan's limo, armed with cookie dough, DVDs and TLC.
