With April now being a part his life, Luke has to cope with the significant changes her being there has caused. Lorelai also must deal with the changes that April has brought to her engagement to Luke and tries to convince herself, and everyone else, that she doesn’t mind. At the Yale Daily News, Rory has to deal with the impact of the staff quitting in protest of Paris’ management and enlists Logan’s help to get the paper out on time. Meanwhile, Lorelai lets Richard and Emily know that they no longer will have to pay for Yale, resulting in a poignant Friday night dinner.
