Most irritating Rory or Lorelai moment:After pounding tequila all night with Christopher after his dad dies, Lorelai has breakfast with Rory the next morning at the diner. Just as she's about to tell Luke that her eyes are red because she was up all night drinking with her old flame, Rory interrupts and says, "Oh, I kept her up pretty late, you know, girl talk." Instead of correcting her and coming clean about the Christopher hang, Lorelai rolls with it and even avoids a pancake order because "Pancakes are hangover food, it would get him suspicious."
After dragging Luke out of bed and waiting for the first flakes to fall, Lorelai waxes poetic about snow: "Sleigh rides, ice skating, snowball fights. I'll even take curling [...] Hot cocoa, hot toddies. Best time of the year!" Over the course of 40 minutes, we watch that love dissipate as the inn cancellations rush in, important supplies are backordered (floor mats and coffee), no one is available to plow the driveway, the ceiling starts leaking, and snow completely engulfs the Jeep. In a rant that has always felt forced to me, Lorelai grumbles at Luke about her dead "foot modeling career" and newfound hatred of snow. My husband said he wouldn't be surprised if Lorelai's snow rant "gave Luke permanent erectile dysfunction."
But of course, Luke loves Lorelai and doesn't want to see her adopt his negative attitude toward snow. At the end of the episode, he surprises her by constructing an ice rink in her front yard and declaring,
Rory's character motivation makes sense to me. She's been burned by Christopher in the past and thus, isn't keen to get invested in his self improvement odyssey. After Emily and Richard notify the girls of Straub's death at Friday night dinner, Rory realizes that Christopher wasn't just bullshitting her; the desperation seeping from his pores during the Yale visit was legit. Rory shows up at his house to comfort him with milk and cookies, followed swiftly by Lorelai and Jose. It won't be long before Rory and Lorelai rescind their olive branches.
With Princess in the picture, Emily and Richard start functioning as a unit again. Emily even joins the girls in the pool house for drinks (a martini with dog hair). This "normal" dynamic is short-lived. As soon as Princess' family is located, the catalyst for conversation is gone and both grandparents are back to their respective emotional avoidance techniques. In 2 episodes, these fools will be happily back together, proving that a dog's presence is just as effective as couples therapy.
At the stones, Bree and Roger tie themselves to Jemmy with rope and pass out gemstones to each other. She tells Ian she loves him and asks him to take care of her parents. They touch the stones and disappear, which Ian marvels at. They land in a pile of leaves and Bree says she feels turn inside out. Jem wanders off, and Roger and Bree stare at something we cannot see in shock.
This week we will be going to Philly for New York Dance Experience where Abby expects the competition to be fierce. Also, the judges will be critiquing the dances and dancers right there on stage. The girls think that sounds scary.
On campus, Buffy and Tara talk about their new semester classes and then about the events at the magic shop. Buffy overreacts when Tara mentions possible trouble between Anya and Xander because of Willow and Anya's constant fighting. Buffy cries and buries her head in Tara's shoulder, declaring that Anya and Xander have a "miraculous love."
Fionna defeats the skeletons while a giant Cake and Marshall Lee's bat form fight with each other. Fionna rushes over and pulls Cake away from Marshall Lee grabbing a hold of her paws, causing him to fall over onto a spear protruding from the ground. He reverts to his normal form, moaning in pain as the sun rises behind him, burning his skin explaining what he feels is really bad. Cake provides shielding from the sun as she stretches in front of it. Marshall Lee states that this is it for him, and asks for Fionna to admit that she loves him before he dies. Fionna tears up as she angrily accuses him of messing with her head even at a time like this, and demands that, for however long they have left, he stop messing around and be honest with her.
Things make a turn for the worse for Natalie, as she has a seizure, ruling out TB but bringing her brain into the differential, along with the liver and lungs. Kutner suggests a mold allergy, for which the team test her. Natalie admits to buying alcohol from her friend Simon, whom Kutner and Taub question. Taub suggests alcohol poisoning, but it turns out that she hardly drank any of the alcohol and had only bought it to impress Simon. She goes into cardiac arrest, ruling out the alcohol theory. But her high blood alkaline phosphatase level nonetheless suggests leukemia, and Wilson is brought in to help. While Cuddy desperately tries to rule leukemia out, Wilson discusses its likelihood and says that she will die, even if they kill all the cancer, due to her failing heart and liver. A double transplant would not even save her. Cuddy then has an epiphany after talking with House about the pregnant couple and gravely realizes the only other disease that explains everything: post-partum eclampsia, which means that Natalie must have got pregnant and had a child. This turns out to be correct, and her friend Simon is the unknowing father. Natalie explains that she gave birth in an abandoned house but her daughter was stillborn. Cuddy searches the house and finds the baby girl, alive, being cared for by a pair of homeless squatters, and brings the baby back to the hospital where she reunites her with her mother. Unfortunately, due to the extent of Natalie's failing organs, she will die within hours (although this is not shown in the episode). The baby is in good health but is kept for observation as she is premature.
After the first half of Season 5 spent most of its time focusing on Kevin and Kate's new babies' impending arrival, This Is Us swung the camera around to Uncle Nicky. Since the series revealed his existence in Season 3, the story has viewed him chiefly as a foil for Jack and Kevin: How did Nicky end up driving Jack to enlist in the military? Why did Jack cut him off? How will Kevin help rehabilitate him? But this week, the series gave Nicky a love story of his own. So, who is Sally on This Is Us?
That might seem odd, but this week's introduction to Sally helps explain his thinking. A flashback revealed a young Nicky met Sally before he was drafted; they worked together at the local animal shelter. Sally was a photographer, artist, and flower-child hippie who loved the open road and believed in signs and spirits. Her "house" was a van named Pearl, which she drove across the country until she found her way to Pittsburgh.
But Nicky wasn't a free spirit like Sally. He liked the safety of the familiar. (As Jack noted, Nicky wasn't even motivated to move out of their parents' house.) When Sally suggested they drive north to an upcoming concert called Woodstock and then hit the road to California, he was unsure. He'd love to go, but it's too risky, too uncertain, too unknown. Jack pushed him to go; he even bought Nicky a suitcase. (In a nice bit of foreshadowing, Jack declared if a girl like that asked him to drive to California, he'd go without a second thought.) But in the end, Nicky failed to show, and Sally drove off alone.

Lane advises Joan to demand a 5% partnership stake in the company, adding that, when he thought he was essential to the future of the firm, he settled for much less than necessary. Joan later tells Pete she wants a partnership, comprising 5% of the business, for her night with Herb. Pete asks how to make the arrangements, to which she asks if she has to do it all. Pete later tells Don about the arrangement with Joan. Don visits Joan's apartment to dissuade her. She thanks him and wishes him luck on the presentation, but has already joined Herb in a hotel room for sex. Pete tells Trudy he wants an apartment in the city, but she refuses, telling him that his love affair with Manhattan is over and that they have not even been trying for a second child.
Don: "Oh, this car. This thing. Gentleman, what price would we pay? What behaviour would we forgive? If they weren't pretty? If they weren't tempermental? If they weren't beyond our reach, out of our control; would we love them like we do? Jaguar. At last. Something beautiful, you can truly own."
As the yaks, dozens of ponies, and Princess Celestia enjoy the friendship party, Pinkie apologizes to Prince Rutherford. She says that, instead of trying to make Equestria feel like Yakyakistan, they should have made it feel like a natural home so the yaks could see why the ponies love living there. Rutherford is moved by Pinkie's friendship efforts and calls off his declaration of war, and he and Pinkie agree that ponies and yaks will be friends for a thousand moons. As Celestia congratulates Twilight, Rutherford and Pinkie Pie seal their newfound friendship and understanding with a big, strong hug.
Elsewhere in the upcoming Young Sheldon season 5, episode 11, Georgie (Montana Jordan) also gets his love life going when he meets a girl while manning his and Meemaw's (Annie Potts) laundry shop/secret gambling den. This is the first time Cooper's eldest kid expresses interest in dating again since Jana (Ava Allan) broke up with him for dropping out of school. Georgie has been busy establishing himself as an independent adult as he moved out of the house into the garage and started paying rent. After that, he focused on getting his grandmother's business up and running. Now that he's in a more stable place, Georgie can begin seeing girls again. And since the elder George and Mary are busy with their own lives, chances are that they wouldn't have any problem with this. 781b155fdc
