Relations, relationships

Quite an interesting episode with some new stuff to think about in the future. Sookie wants to go skiing, a thing she has not done for years. Jason is taking too much care for her, killing her good spirit and leaving her wish unfulfilled. She later on experiences a "surprise", but she is not the only one. Luke goes to court over his case of partial custody. Christopher finds Lorelai's letter she wrote for Luke, trying to help him over his case for April, and goes out for the night, saying he will not be her second chance. Lorelai is left in a hard and messed up situation, maybe (re)considering her feelings. And it doesn't look promising for Rory's Grandpa either, when he collapses in front of the class, grabbing for his chest.
