(Gilmore Girls fan site)Episode 222
Sookie wants to play Ella Fitzgerald’s depressing song of love denied, “I Can’t Get Started,” as she walks down the aisle at her wedding. The girls can’t talk her out of it. Meanwhile, Christopher shows up, unexpectedly but to great cheers, to see Rory’s cast removed. He stays for Sookie’s rehearsal dinner and then promises to stay for the wedding. Lorelai learns that he and Sherry are breaking up. Christopher says he wants to stay permanently. He promises to stick with it for the long haul. Because he has changed so much since the old Christopher, the girls are happy with him and excited about it for the first time ever… Until Sherry calls with news that shatters everything and brings the episode’s theme full-circle.
Also, Paris is running for Chilton Student Body President, but she discovers that the students don’t like her enough to vote for her. So she convinces Rory to run as her running-mate by noting that “Harvard loves this kind of crap.” Rory still feels ambiguous about whether she even wants to win, because it would mean she’d be spending the summer in Washington, D.C., away from Dean. Her feelings become even more ambiguous—and destructive—when Jess unexpectedly returns.
