Lorelai brings Christopher to Friday night dinner, much to Richard and Emily's delight. However, when Christopher tells everyone that Sherry sent him a letter about how much she regrets leaving him and Gigi and how she wants Gigi to come visit her in Paris, Christopher and Lorelai get into an argument during dinner. Logan returns to the States on business and surprises Rory. At first Rory is ecstatic to see him, but after having dinner with Logan and his new business colleagues, she soon realizes that she's not a part of his business world. Meanwhile, Stars Hollow is covered in a bad odor when a train carrying pickles derails and Taylor refuses to pay for cleanup.

Episode Goofs
Near the end of the episode, Richard throws his napkin down twice when he gets up to see Emily's jail photos on Lorelai's camera phone.
During Friday night dinner, Emily mentions that Christopher and Lorelai once stole and drank a 1975 wine that they had been saving for 10 years, which would mean that they drank it in 1985. However, Rory was born in 1984 and Lorelai and Christopher split up once Lorelai ran away with Rory, making it highly unlikely that the two of them drank the bottle together.
