  Episode Summary  
As the citizens of Stars Hollow prepare for the annual Spring Fling festival, Rory decides to bring Logan home with her and takes him around the town. Lorelai, seeing how close the two have become, begins to worry that Logan's immaturity and irresponsibility make him someone that Rory shouldn't be with. Meanwhile, Taylor upsets the town when he blows the entire Spring Fling budget on a large hale bale maze. In the maze, Lorelai and Luke run into each other and there they admit that they each made mistakes that ultimately lead to the ending of their engagement as well as apologize for their actions. Lastly, Rory heads to an interview with the Providence Journal-Bulletin, but has a hard time making decisions that will affect not only her career, but the rest of her life.

  Episode Quotes  
Lorelai: I think 401k's are important. I think that paying your bills and dealing with reality are important.
Logan: Yeah, I'm starting to learn a little more about reality. I grew up with a lot of privilege.
Lorelai: I know. You had the whole silver spoon in the mouth thing, and that's not how I raised Rory.
Logan: I know that.
Lorelai: This was not a silver-spoon household. This was spork city, all the way.
 
Paris: I like keep lactaid on hand for Doyle.
Doyle: Which I don't need because I'm not lactose intolerant.
Paris: You're lactose resistant. You have a bias against lactose. You're sensitive.
Doyle: I'm not sensitive. I have no problem with lactose.
Paris: There is nothing wrong with sensitive. Jake Gyllenhaal is sensitive. Orlando Bloom is sensitive.
Doyle: Me and lactose are cool. We're down.
 
Taylor: I put the entire budget into the hay bale maze!
Sookie: No!
Lorelai: Taylor, you can't do that! I have an inn full of guests, who've come here, traveled miles, who withstood winter, who have blow-dried their tongues off their swing set so they could get to the Spring Fling!
Taylor: Yes!
Lorelai: They expect certain things. The traditional events -- pie-eating contest, pony rides -- they don't want just a hay bale maze and nothing else!
 
Lorelai: Luke?
Luke: Yeah?
Lorelai: I'm sorry.
Luke: Yeah, I'm sorry too.
Lorelai: No no no. Let me go first.
Luke: Okay.
Lorelai: I messed up. That night I went to Christopher -- I'm sorry.
Luke: Yeah.
Lorelai: And I never admitted to you that it was wrong and it was and I'm really sorry.
Luke: Okay, thanks.
Lorelai: I don't know why I didn't say this before.
Luke: Ah. You know, I'm sorry too, 'cause, I don't know, I just ... Now that I've had April, it's, you know I've learned a lot. I was crazy to think that I had to fix everything in my relationship with April before I could really be with you. That's just not how you fix things. I mean, you know, things don't just stand still. They're always changing.
Lorelai: Yeah.
Luke: I guess I was compartmentalizing, if that's what you call it. I mean, I should have opened my compartment. I should have gotten your help.
Lorelai: I wanted to help.
Luke: I know. And I'm sorry. I'm sorry also, because I think I kinda used April to push you away.
Lorelai: You did, huh?
Luke: Yeah, I think so. I was afraid and I'm so sorry.
Lorelai: It's really okay.
Luke: I'm glad.
Lorelai: Me too.
Luke: Well, I've got some fries that are getting cold.
Lorelai: Yeah, well, I got to find my way out of here.
Luke: By the way, you're really close. Just, uh, go left and two rights and you're out.
Lorelai: Thanks.
 
  Analysis  
Rory and Logan coming to a split in the maze, and Rory ultimately choosing the way to go with Logan following symbolizes the recent turn in their relationship. Instead of Rory following Logan's every whim, Rory chose for herself the career she wants and Logan, as he did in the maze, tells Rory that he'll go with her no matter what post-graduate life she picks.
