Emily is definitely on form in this episode. Kelly Bishop is such a phenomenal actress she takes the simplest lines but then delivers them with the best facial expressions, timing and body language.
Without any spoilers, let's just say that when Emily was talking to Luke at dinner even her simple dialogue and tone asking him if he wants another beer makes me laugh out loud every rewatch.
Though their schemes are sometimes diabolical, watching this as you get older you realise that Richard and Emily truly always just wanted the best (their version of it) for Lorelai and Rory and that's pretty sweet.
