Episode Name: "Bon Voyage"
Episode Number: 7.22
Air Date: May 15, 2007
SERIES FINALE
The Dragonfly Inn. You see Lorelai drive up in her Jeep (all fixed!) with Rory. Lorelai came to get Rory because Christiane Amanpour arrived at the Inn. Rory is so excited! Lorelai asks Michel when she came in - last night! She’s staying there! He avoided telling her because she goes gaga over celebrity guests. Lorelai goes over to say hi while Rory peeks around a corner.
Lorelai tells Christiane how big a fan Rory is of her. Lorelai calls Rory over to meet Christiane. Rory apologizes for being in her PJs - Lorelai really dragged her out. Rory says thanks to Christiane for her . Christiane asks what Rory’s goals are - print, tv, etc. She is impressed with what Rory says about keeping her options open. Christiane gives Rory her card and says to send over some of her stuff.
Rory’s thought… she just met Christiane Amanpour. In her PJs.

Lorelai is sitting on Rory’s bed, talking about rollercoasters. Planning their summer trip, going from rollercoaster to rollercoaster across the country. Lorelai asks if Rory is scared. Busts Rory for screaming once on a rollercoaster. Rory says she’ll be eyes open, no screaming. Rory just finished addressing many dozens of resumes to send out to all the papers.
Rory unpacks her box. Inside, the love rocket. What a sad thing. Rory says she hasn’t talked to Logan. That it comes in waves - big ones. Lorelai says it’s ok to let herself feel bad, and some day it will feel better. Rory asks if that was true for her and Luke, and Lorelai says yes. No, it’s done. She is over him. Rory says Luke isn’t over Lorelai, but Lorelai insists that she is over him. And that being friends is better with Luke. A healthier relationship.
And it slips about Rory’s reenactment graduation party. With the band and the town and the party. Rory whines a little about it, but agrees.
Luke is putting in an order for the food for the party. Liz comes into the diner with the baby. Liz says Doola misses Luke - but it’s a ruse to get Luke to babysit. Liz wants to go out to get clothes for Rory’s party. Liz asks if he gave the necklace to Lorelai, and he says no, it was just a backup. Liz asks, what about the song? It meant nothing? He says it was nothing, that he’s over her.
Gilmore dinner. Emily, Richard and Lorelai are sitting at the table. Rory is not there yet. She’s having drinks with the guy she writes for online, getting career advice. Emily berates Lorelai for taking Rory on such a silly vacation. A month of rollercoasters. Lorelai says it might be her last opportunity to do this with Rory. Who knows when they’ll do it again - where she’ll end up accepting a job. Emily says she’s being too dramatic.
Emily suggests Lorelai add a spa to the Dragonfly. That it’s all the rage now. Lorelai says she is doing really well at the Inn, she doesn’t need a spa. Plus, that would be way past her budget.
Rory got a job. She leaves in 3 days! Rory was having drinks with Hugo Grave, the guy who she’s been writing for online, and he mentioned that the reporter covering the Barak Obama quit, and asks if she would want it. She accepted. She’d get to go on the road with all the other journalists. Buses. Flights. Hotels.

Lorelai is so excited for her. Rory is a little stressed. Leaving in 3 days. No transition. And who knows how long she’ll be on the road. It could be 2 years before the campaign is over, and she might not get time off. Lorelai says they can do the rollercoaster trip another time. Rory would have real press credentials! And a great resume and contacts![INDENT]"This is it. This is the last time we’ll see you for who knows how long" - Emily[/INDENT]

[INDENT]"Oh yeah, I guess it is." - Rory[/INDENT]
Lorelai says they’ll have after-dinner drinks for sure.
Rory and Lorelai come into the diner. Rory has a list of things she needs to get before she goes. Rory and Lorelai came in for coffee. Ceasar insists that Luke come take their order - Ceasar is trying to prove that

Lorelai says the party is cancelled. The party was in a week and Rory is going away in 2 days - she got an awesome job traveling the campaign for Barak Obama. So, canceling the food order. Kirk, Lulu, Miss Patty and Babette are all freaking out. No party? What about the reenactment they were promised! Lorelai does a 20 second reenactment right there at the diner, handing over the diner menu as a diploma. She apologizes for not being able to do the party. That Rory is leaving in 2 days and they have a lot to do. [INDENT]Babette: "so this is goodbye?"[/INDENT]

Rory says she’ll visit them all tomorrow [INDENT]"I’m not ready for this to be a goodbye. It’s more like a see ya later"[/INDENT]
Rory and Lorelai leave, and their faces are still crestfallen inside. No party.
Luke goes to visit Sookie. Luke mentions that the graduation party was cancelled. Luke says they should throw the party anyway. It’s only one week earlier. And they can make it all a surprise party. Sookie says it’s very sweet and that Rory & Lorelai would love it. He asks Sookie to make desserts. Sookie smiles.
Rory and Lorelai are lugging around all the stuff they bought. 23 mini shampoo bottles instead of 1 big one. lol. Rory wants to get postcards so she can send them back. And a book light - Paris kept hers. Lorelai says she has a great idea. Miss Patty hurt her back last year, and had this funny pillow thing, and she bets Rory could borrow it. Better than 2 hours sitting on hard folding chairs.
Miss Patty’s place is locked. Lorelai knocks. She says she’s consulting her muse, lying down and keeping quiet. But, inside, the whole town. A secret ‘unofficial’ meeting to plan Rory’s party. They talk the plans - Sookie & Luke have the food covered. Taylor asks Luke if he has permits for outdoor barbequing. Babette chimes up that if the meeting is unofficial, Taylor’s word is not law there. Kirk will be DJ. LuLu has stuff they can use to decorate with. Taylor insists they are violating too many town ordinances. The town is in an uproar. They want the party and they are going to have the party. Luke says they need chairs in the gazebo. For the next night.
Rory and Lorelai are walking that night. Rory is complaining that 36 hours is not that much time to finish things. Lorelai says they need to get the fanny pack from Sookie. Rory wants to know why she would need a fanny pack. Lorelai says you never know when you need it. Like, what if Barak Obama needed gum? She could be gum buddies with the future president.
Rory goes over to see Lane and the boys. They are talking about Lane’s first kiss. She had never told Rory - was embarrassed. Lane reflects how just ‘yesterday’, they had been playing on the porch and talking about how they want to grow boobs, and now look at them. One married with babies, the other going off to report the world.
Zack pulls Lane inside. The town is complaining because they need to set up the gazebo, but Lane and Rory are out on the porch overlooking the square and they cannot do it. Lane says she won’t rush it. This is her goodbye.
Rory is freaking out. She had a couple of seconds to reflect and now is close to panic. She is afraid of it all. What if she’s a terrible reporter? Lane insists that everyone has confidence because she’s Rory - she can do it. Rory is afraid of leaving so soon - leaving her mom and everything so fast, and for who knows how long. Rory is sad that Lorelai is not sentimental - that she’s been so organized. Rory seems hurt about it. She’s tearing up. She thanks Lane for her friendship. It’s "so" - and Lane agrees. Rory says that this is what it must feel like to have a sister.
Rory comes home. Lorelai is ironing. Flat clothes fit into the suitcase easier. Rory says it was sad saying goodbye to Lane. Lorelai is talking a mile a minute. Going over plans for the next day and what they need to do. She says Rory probably won’t like the fanny pack.

Rory says she doesn’t get it. Why does Lorelai act like it’s no big deal. She hasn’t "reacted" to the news at all. How can she be so practical?[INDENT]"If I stop to think about you leaving now, I’ll fall apart. We still have time left. It’s too soon."[/INDENT]
Rory says she’ll iron, Lorelai can fold. They both look so sad!
The town is setting up the gazebo. Luke is being amazingly organized. Saying six is ok per table because people won’t always be sitting. He goes around and checks on Kirk, approves the centerpieces (Sookie’s arrangement, Jackson’s veggies). Babette runs over screaming. She says her ankles. It’s going to rain. Luke is a little annoyed it will rain tomorrow. But of course, Babette goes off about the weather man and that releases some tension. 200 people are too many to move to the diner. So, what do they do at 2 am? Zack says it was a nice idea, as if that’s it. No solution.
Lorelai stands in the doorframe of Rory’s room. Watching Rory sleep. She goes over to the bed and sits down. Pulls the blanket up over Rory. Lorelai starts to cry. Patting Rory on the side, she just cries.
An aside - we have the same quilt in the same color on our own bed.
Luke is in the diner sewing something together. A pile of sheets and tarps and whatnot are on the table. He’s using fishing twine. It looks huge. Luke opens the drawer to get something, and Lorelai’s necklace is inside. He picks it up and puts it in his pocket.
Lorelai and Rory are driving through town. It is raining like crazy. Rory is complaining because nobody is answering their phones and she wants to say goodbye. Lorelai points out the town - all under a big tarp, screaming and yelling with signs. Goodbye Rory signs. Rory asks if Lorelai did it, she says no. Zack and Jackson come over with umbrellas to get them safely undercover.
Crowd shots of everybody cheering. It’s a little corny, but we see all the town folk. Like each one of them gets camera time to say goodbye to Rory, and to us. And we see a very proud Luke.
Kirk presents Rory with a sash. He made it as "town sashmaker". He places it over her. Apparently the material was from his mother’s nighties. That gets an "ew" from Rory.
Lorelai sees Emily & Richard. Emily says they had to cancel a dinner because they only heard about it last night from Sookie. Lorelai is awed about the party. Richard says it’s not just a party for Rory, it’s a testament to Lorelai. That it takes a remarkable person to inspire all of that. That she is beloved by the town, and he is only coming to realize now how amazing they are. Lorelai tears up and says thanks. Emily returns to the spa question.

Taylor makes a speech for the "favorite daughter of Stars Hollow" in a creepy way, talking about birthing Rory quite graphically (it involves a womb, spanking and amniotic fluid, lets say). Taylor invites Rory up to make a speech:[INDENT]"I love this place. I just loved growing up here. I love all of you. And thank you so much for doing all of this."[/INDENT]
Rory says she doesn’t want to gush. And looks over at her mom to thank her personally. That she means everything to her and she will miss her so much. Rory and Lorelai both cry.

The party starts in full swing. Dancing and music. Luke is manning the grill. Emily tells Lorelai that instead of the spa, they could do a tennis court. That Emily and Richard are willing to loan Lorelai the money. That all it would require would be to get together from time to time to see how things are going. Lorelai says why don’t they just talk about it on Friday, at dinner. Emily asks, so are dinners continuing then? Lorelai says they might as well, she got used to it. They both look pleased, in a way. Lorelai recognized that Emily just wanted her to have the spa so she could offer her money and keep dinners - and she took the high ground. Emily diffuses the too emotional situation by telling Lorelai not to wear jeans[INDENT]"It’s an honor to be your grandmother, Rory Gilmore"[/INDENT]
Rory walks Richard and Emily to their car. Sookie comes over to Lorelai. She says "I can’t believe you pulled it off". Sookie says she only did the baking. Luke did it all. He planned the whole thing - that he did the food, got the secret town meeting together, and that he solved the rain issue by going around to everyone to get tarps, tents and rain jackets to sew together. And that it probably took all night. Lorelai looks touched, as Sookie knew she would. It’s an impressive thing for someone to do. e

Lorelai excuses herself to go find Luke. He’s coming out of the diner. Lorelai says thank you. Luke says it’s no big deal.[INDENT]"Luke…"[/INDENT]

[INDENT]"I just like to see you happy…"[/INDENT]
He says "you" not "Rory". He did this all for Lorelai. Lorelai moves in to kiss Luke, and he moves to her at the same time. It’s a mutual advance to kiss. We pan up to the town, dancing at the party.
Lorelai is putting the last bags together for Rory. They just make sure they have everything. Lorelai says she just needs more time. She feels ambushed. That she had a whole summer to impart wisdom to Rory. Tells Rory to choose a good bus, since it could be her seat all year. Where to sit for chatty folk and to get a window seat. And not to wear shorts, that it’s not professional. Not to be too shy or too forward. To take Ziplocs. And to take her orange sweater, because she knows Rory wants it.

Rory just keeps looking at Lorelai. She interrupts:[INDENT]"Mom, you’ve given me everything I need"[/INDENT]
Lorelai sighs. They both say "ok". Lorelai says "shall we", and Rory asks what’s the rush, that it’s 5am. Lorelai says they have a stop to make.
Rory and Lorelai at the diner, Luke pouring coffee. He opened early, just for them alone. Luke asks what they want. Rory and Lorelai admire the menu and says they can’t decide. Such pretty pictures. Luke says to take all the time she needs. This was definitely a dual meaning statement - it was a significant look at Lorelai, as if saying it about their relationship. As Luke walks away, Lorelai yells out her order. Of course she knows what she wants.
Rory admires the necklace Lorelai is wearing. That it suits her. Lorelai says thanks and turns slightly to look at Luke - it’s the necklace that he gave to her. So, their conversation must have been much more meaningful than just the kiss.
Lorelai talks about Rory’s "world’s greatest reporter hat," but Rory didn’t bring it. Lorelai asks, but how will people know she’s a great reporter without her fashion statement? Rory says they’ll just have to read her stuff. Lorelai says, "I guess so."
Pan out from the diner. Lorelai smiling at Rory. The lalas are playing in full swing.
