Storyline

Rory is strict in keeping Logan on bed rest following his release from the hospital, enlisting in the help of Paris and Doyle to assure that he does not strain himself. She finds herself distracted, however, upon discovering that Mitchum spoke of her in an interview with the Wall Street Journal. Meanwhile, Emily suffers temporary blindness after a botched eye surgery and asks Lorelai's help in running errands after firing all of her hired help. Elsewhere, Liz announces her pregnancy to Luke and reveals that there is trouble between she and T.J., but she doesn't give Luke the whole story. Sookie and Jackson have problems of their own when they discover dozens of marijuana plants growing on their farm.

Goofs

When Sookie and Jackson are hauling the garbage bags around the town square, Sookie refers to them as "the people trying to ditch a kilo of weed." A kilo, however, is only about 2 pounds and the bags contain much more than that. At the end of the episode, Sookie tells Lorelai they have 68 pounds of marijuana. This equals just shy of 31 kilos. As a chef, Sookie ought to be familiar with imperial-to-metric weight conversion.
