I love how Luke can have this argument and then say “don’t worry, we’re good.” That’s a healthy man there! And a keeper!

[MsCorpora]

Because she had THE FACE! / What face? / THE RORY FACE! 😂 Gets me every time

[lovefromwonderland]

It's ridiculous how Luke knocked the sense back into these two. They should know this.

I think we all agree that Lorelai screwed up by being her daughter's friend instead of her daughter's parent. But then again, that's the inevitable consequence of raising a child alone, at 16, without any adults around you. She's a badass, no question about it. But she saw Rory as a friend who happens to be her daughter, rather than someone she needed to guide. All parents, no matter how good they are, see their kids as an extension of themselves to a certain extent. But Lorelai fights with her daughter like one would fight with their best friend. And that's very harmful when kids are at their basic years. Rory was acting like a normal 20 yo at that point, but Lorelai couldn't wrap her head around it because she sees Rory as her friend who's supposed to act like her 36yo self. We all talk about how spoiled Rory is, but Lorelai was as well up until she was 16 yo and got pregnant. She may not have liked the rich life, but whether we care to admit it or not, she had everything given to her so she didn't know struggle until she had a kid to feed. So she AND Rory were learning that together, which leads both of them to think that we are the same in everything. But while Rory gets to be immature at 20, Lorelai needed to be an adult. Meaning you can't cut your kid out of your life for being lost, meaning you can't talk to your kid like she did in this clip like she's your bestie and she hurt you because she went to live with her grandparents. We attack Rory all the time, but the truth is, throughout the series she's looking for guidance from an ADULT, because Lorelai wasn't mature enough and Christopher's a douchebag who was barely even there. And please don't take this to mean I'm shitting on Lorelai, she did the best she could. But I'm just saying, she's not without her faults. Being a parent means you take care of your kid beyond just providing shelter, food, and clothes. Means you understand she's not gonna be perfect and mature all the time. And when she isn't, YOU have to be.

Luke was the best character on the show

[ricksamericana]

"Gilmore Girls" music was sublime. Gotta love the use of the Pernice Brothers in the drive up

[katecreate]

Luke was 100% right, just because Lorelei was not approving decisions Rory was making doesn't mean she can just withhold important news that Luke was going to be a step dad to Rory and leave Rory to figure it out on her own. Very petty of Lorelei to do that even if she was still mad at Rory and she was putting Luke in the awkward spot.

[paulocardoso]

" I have the high ground" SW episode 3 reference 🤣

[rhyanshelby]

Lorelai didn't tell Rory about their engagement, Rory skipped Lorelai's graduation that took her 18 years to get

[Reya_Sunshine]

As much as people hate this arch, I thought it was really impactful to see it play out. For so long Lorelei didn't have to struggle in parenting but children/people change as they grow, so sometimes parenting style's gotta change. I can understand how Lorelei might think this is how one does "tough love, " if I was in this situation I might act the same way, not knowing how to be a disciplinarian in a healthy way. I might hope too that at the end of it, Rory'd be able to course correct like Jess did when Luke didn't entertain his bs.

[katiew]

I agree with Luke, Lorelai was being so childish for not talking to Rory

[scr]

I agree with Luke they were both being dumb.

[FlowerChild]

When I was young watching this, I idolized their relationship because I had an absent mother and thought this was goals. But now as an adult, I can see Lorelai was a really emotionally immature parent who expected Rory to act out the life she wanted. She repeated the cycle Emily had done to her, just in a different way. She essentially cut Rory off and gave her the silent treatment in order to control her and manipulate her into doing what she wanted. It's no wonder she ends up as an adult who struggles. Lorelai should have parented Rory through this crisis, but if you think about it she never really parented Rory.

[anshevel]

Honestly how Lorelei behaves here seems to me even more childish than Rory's drop out of Yale

[stephanieramirez]

Rory became a crappy person but Lorelei failed as a parent with this whole drop out of Yale storyline
Not wanting to be her friend during this is acceptable but this is where she needed her parent

[dionysuskapeleia]

Lorelai acts like she's Rory's friend. But, no. She is her mother and she should act like it. These immature conversations or the pressure she puts on Rory are so problematic. She is also very controlling. I know that because my mom is like Lorelai and when I went to college, I made all the wrong decisions because I wasnt used to make my own without my mom's opinion who thought she was my friend.

[geoffingoff]

Lorelai says she will love Rory no matter what and doesn't have controlling expectations for her like Emily and Richard had for her. Yet the minute Rory has doubts about journalism and Yale, Lorelai shuts her out for months and doesn't even tell her she got engaged. It's sad that Lorelai can't see the amount of pressure she doesn't even realize she puts on Rory. (Remember the first episode where Rory doesn't want to go to Chilton, but Lorelai forces her? Or the fourth episode where Lorelai can't remember if maybe it was her own dream for Rory to go to Harvard?) Of course Rory burned out. This episode shows how unforgiving Lorelai is when Rory needs some leniency and space to grow.

[jaredjlinden]

This is the problem with Lorelai’s philosophy of “I’m Rory’s friend first and her mother second.” This is a fun show but a complete fantasy.

[brontiq]

I still don't get why people hated A year in life so much. There were many signs through the show Rory is going to be a big failure. This was one of the biggest signs

[rustjones]

Lorelei was way too harsh here, but i think the real reason she was so mad is because of Logan. If rory randomly came to Lorelei asking for time off, I'm sure she would understand. But Rory started hanging out with logan who destroyed Rory's self-esteem in Lorelei's eyes. She even stole a yacht. So Lorelei thinks Rory is destroying her future for a boy which she can't stand. Emily and Richard will never see that because they love how rich Logan's family is. After they found out the truth, they were just as mad as Lorelei and wished they trusted her.
