i get where emily is coming from on this one. like it's one thing if loreli wants to run away and is fine to live in unsteady circumstances but emily is taking baby rory into consideration. i love loreli but she does a lot without thinking it through and rory gets kinda dragged along for the ride. when you have a baby, it stops being about you. from emily's perspective, loreli should have set her issues aside and moved back in with them so that rory could live in a stable home with a roof and hot meals. from her end of things, their life wasn't stable and it'd be fine if loreli chose that for herself, but she had this little baby she's also meant to be choosing for. as i get older i can definitely see emily's side more and more. i know she can be manipulative and mean but i also think she cares a lot about at least her granddaughter. emily and richard aren't without fault and i know there's multiple kinds of abuse in the world but if they're meant to be monsters loreli felt the need to escape from the show isn't the best at portraying that. instead it shows it more like loreli just didn't get along with them and them with her. so it makes it hard to sympathize with her decision to keep rory away from a home that had a roof and a bed and consistent warm meals.

also i want to add, this show is about imperfect characters/people doing imperfect things. emily isn't perfect, and neither is loreli, and neither is *gasp* lol rory. they're all imperfect, selfish, and flawed in their own ways. this episode just highlights one of the ways i think emily sees loreli as selfish and i have to admit, i don't exactly think she's 100% off base on that. this is one of the things the show does so well - portraying imperfect characters and the family dynamic between generations of mothers and daughters just trying to do their best and sometimes failing. my first comment feels harsh on loreli, but that's what makes the show so special and interesting. it's about things not always being perfect and people making mistakes - including the three gilmore girls!

i don’t hate emily, but, as someone who emphasizes with and understands the borderline mental abuse that did and does go on from emily to lorelai, i’m sorry—i just feel the need to defend her. lorelai is incredibly smart, and no incredibly smart teenager would leave her rich parents just for giggles. there’s a reason for it, and she felt like she NEEDED to in order to survive. even though lorelai and rory were living in a shed, she was raised in a comfortable, safe and loving environment without any worries. she always had an entire town of people to love her and care for her, as well as a mom that would do anything for her. although lorelai leaving her parents house may seem like it was only for her benefit, i believe it was also largely for rory’s. rory wouldn’t be the rory she was (circa this season) without lorelai’s parenting choices and decision to raise her in stars hollow. everything lorelai did was for rory, and she put her before herself time and time again—just as a good parent should. however, she got them into an environment that was mentally healthy for both of them. i don’t think emily (or many people actually) realize the enormity of what lorelai built. a teen mom with no work experience who ran away from home worked her way up to being the manager of her inn, in a beautiful house, with a whole town that loves her. it’s so incredible

I don't quite believe Rachel, either. I don't think she's lying about her feelings for Luke but I just don't think she has it in her to settle down. I think she WANTS to want to settle down, if that makes sense. I also believe that she's left Luke more than once before. I think they've mentioned that she always comes back for a time then leave again to chase another adventure. I do HIGHLY appreciate that Lorelai was not only nice to Rachel but quite friendly with her. Other shows would have made Lorelai petty and act all jealous since there clearly is some tension between Luke and Lorelai, but not here and that's refreshing.

About Lorelai and Emily...I am and forever will be on Lorelai's side. I kind of don't understand people (especially those who have seen the whole series through) who are on Emily's side on this one. We saw as early on in the pilot how petty Emily is, how she constantly makes jab at her own daughter and reminds her of her "mistakes". She's very passive aggressive with her comments and it's VERY hurtful. It's hurtful at 32 and it's doubly hurtful at 16, especially when the wound is so fresh. Emily has a VERY sweet relationship with Rory but it's the exact opposite of her relationship with Lorelai. Funnily enough, I think she's sweet with Rory BECAUSE of her relationship with Lorelai - she wants a second chance at having a "daughter" she's close to so she takes a different approach with Rory who is, admittedly, less of a rebel than Lorelai was at 16. Everything Lorelai has ever done since Rory was born (even before that, actually, by rejecting Christopher's half-assed proposal because "when you get pregnant, you get married", as Emily said to Lorelai) has been for Rory. She didn't want her kid to grow up suffocated in a house governed by the rules of what society deemed "good" and "appropriate", like she had. So, yeah, a tool shed in an inn where she worked her ass off as a maid in and worked her way up by working hard and earning the life she built, even if that means no money to put in a pavement out front or to buy a whole inn...that was all for a better life for her and Rory. Lorelai was entirely unselfish in that decision to run away. It wasn't childish. It was the most mature decision she could have made in that moment. Her relationship with her Emily was toxic and her relationship with Richard was absent. She removed herself and her infant daughter from that environment and built a better life for them. It's not always about the money. For a 16 year old, especially one with a kid, to willingly give up the monetary luxuries the Gilmores have and be a MAID...you know it was bad. And Emily's reaction, while justified because she was hurt that her daughter ran away, was still all about herself. Lorelai was all "I need to get me and my kid to a better life" and Emily was all "So you hated US!? WE are not good enough!? You would rather live in a shed than in OUR house!?" She never thought about what Lorelai wanted or what she was feeling or even why she ran away with Rory. Even the room made for Rory, while very sweet, was done to "get back at Lorelai". You see a lot of times Lorelai backs down from her own feelings about her mum, like this episode, and concedes "yeah, the room is very sweet. This is nice" only for Emily to prove her instincts right and turn it into a fight. That said, I don't think Emily is "evil". She just doesn't know how to properly show affection to her daughter and is very stuck in her ways and all the hurt between them is like a cement wall preventing her from really trying again.
