After Rory tells Logan that she can't have a casual relationship with him and they should go back to being just friends, she is amazed when Logan insists he is ready to commit to her. However, when he brings her home to meet his powerful and intimidating family, Rory is shocked by his parents' negative reaction to the relationship. The following day, Logan's father apologizes to Rory and offers her an internship at one of his newspapers. Meanwhile, when Sookie is put on bed rest by her doctor, Lorelai calls Luke to fill in as the substitute chef at the Dragonfly Inn.

Episode Quotes
 
Lorelai: You lost me at carrots, which was the first draft of "you had me at hello".
 
Logan: How's that headache of yours?
Rory: Subsiding a little. The mashed potato, mac and cheese, biscuit, gravy plate combo really helped a lot.
Logan: I have to say, half the fun in being with you is the horrified looks on the waiters' faces.
 
Rory: Why do they think I'm not good enough? I'm a Gilmore, do they know that? My ancestors came over on the Mayflower!
 
Lorelai: Rory, two days ago you were on the bathroom floor crying about why he won't call you, why doesn't he like you, wondering what you had done wrong. Which is disturbing on several levels including the fact that I can't remember the last time I cleaned the floor of the bathroom. Is that really the kind of relationship you want to be in?
 
Lorelai: What do you mean you're not taking it anymore? What are you going to do?
Luke: You want to know what I'm going to do? Nothing! Because I am in a relationship with you, and you know very well I can't leave. All I can do is come out here and say "I'm through" and pretend I have a leg to stand on and then march back into that kitchen and keep doing the job, but oh boy, I'm going to be thinking about what I would have done if we weren't in a relationship even though that would mean I wouldn't be in this position in the first place. Excuse me.
