Recap:
This episode revolves around Lorelai, who’s trying to come to terms with her estranged relationship with Luke and the apparent progression of her involvement with Christopher. Lorelai feels a sense of belonging and comfort with Christopher, but it’s evident there’s an underlying feeling of remorse and uncertainty about moving on so quickly after ending things with Luke.

Meanwhile, Lorelai and Christopher embark on a spontaneous trip to Paris, reflecting Lorelai’s pattern of impulsive decisions when it comes to her love life. The trip, although romantically inclined, isn’t devoid of tense moments, especially when discussions about their future together arise.
