A big part of "Unto the Breach" was Logan’s proposal to Rory. The title is fitting, as really Rory is on the precipice of a new life, and that strongly influenced her decision.
Here are the scenes, in quotes and video.
Logan’s proposal to Rory:
"You amaze me, Rory Gilmore. Every day. Everything that you do. Everything that you are. This past year I realized that I don’t know a lot more than I thought I knew. If that makes sense.
Sorry, I’m a little bit nervous! I didn’t think I would be.
What I’m trying to say is… that… I don’t know a lot. But I know that I love you. And I want to be with you. Forever. [Logan pulls out a ring box...]
Rory Gilmore, will you marry me?"
Rory’s reaction to the proposal:
"Wow. Um, wow. I… wow."
Logan asks "Is there a ‘yes’ between those ‘wow’s'?"
"Um. I’m just, I’m so surprised. I just. Um. Um. [sigh]. Will you come talk to me outside?"
Rory and Logan talk outside:
"Sorry, I just, I didn’t want to talk in front of everybody."
Outside, is a white carriage with two white horses. Logan says he understands. Rory asks "is that?", pointing at the carriage.
"For us, yeah. I’m sorry, I know you said you were over big gestures. But that’s what wedding proposals are. And tonight, with your parents here, and your grandparents, I just thought…"
Rory says:
"No, it’s not the size of the gesture. It’s the gesture itself."
Logan tells Rory he got the job out in Silicon Valley. Rory is immediately excited for him. Logan says he wanted to save the news until after he proposed.
"Wow, you’ve been thinking about this for a while."
She looks a little alarmed. Logan is all seriousness.
"Back when everything was up in the air, business wise, I realized that as long as I had you, I’d be ok."
Logan tells Rory she would love Palo Alto (it is quite nice, actually). He says they could hike on the weekends, go biking. Rory says California living sounds really athletic. Still got her sense of humor. Logan chimes up about coffee drinking on University Avenue, which Rory can imagine much easier.
Logan tells Rory that there’s a house that they could rent. With a nice back yard with an avocado tree. Rory says she does like guacamole. Logan tells her it’s not far from San Francisco, just up the highway. Rory is impressed with all his research. He tells her she could work at the Chronicle, or the San Francisco Bay Guardian.
Rory says it sounds amazing. Wonderful.
"I just, I don’t know. You’ve had time to think about this, and research newspapers and it’s so sweet, and… wonderful. I just. I’m hearing about it for the first time."
"So, you’re saying in the past 3 years, you’ve never thought about marrying me?", Logan asks
Rory replies "Oh, of course I have!"
"And…?"
"It’s always a really wonderful thought. But. It was always hypothetical. And…"
Logan says it was for him too, but then it hit him, and he asked himself, ‘Why wait?’ Logan asks:
"Remember when we were in the life and death brigade, and we stood on that tower, and held hands. We jumped. Let’s do that again, Rory. Let’s jump."
Rory looks pleased. On the verge of saying yes.
Rory refusing Logan:
"I’m sorry. I can’t. I love you. You know how much I love you. I love the idea of being married to you. But there are a lot of things in my life right now that are undecided. And that used to scare me, but I kind of like the idea that it’s just all kind of wide open. And if I married you, it just wouldn’t be."
Logan looks impassive. Maybe a little angry.
"So, what? I go to San Francisco and you stay in the East? We see each other occasionally?"
Rory says they can try long distance. That they’ve done it before. Logan asks if that’s really going to work. Rory says it would be hard.
"I don’t want to do that Rory. I don’t want to go backwards. If we can’t take the next step… [shrug]"
Rory now looks concerned. She asks if it has to be all or nothing? Logan says it does. Rory says they could at least try.
Logan shakes his head and asks
"What’s the point?"
Rory looks like she will cry. They both say "so" questioningly. It’s up to Rory now. All or nothing. She pauses, then reaches in to grab the ring box. Logan shakes his head. He’s disappointed in her. She holds it out to him. He doesn’t take it right away. Even hesitates. But then grabs it, says
"Goodbye Rory"
Logan walks away. Rory sighs and goes back to her family.

I am in sobbing,wondering,and happiness…….. and it sucks. i go threw the day saying to myself its not over but in the inside it is…its truly going to be over in just a blink of an eye… in one scene this hole series…this hole 7 years has just gone away. Yes the reruns will be playing but…it won’t be the same…there won’t be the state of wonder as these episodes leave in…like at the end of season 3 when Lorelai comes in the diner and says to Luke don’t get engaged in his dream… that leaves you in wonder… it won’t do that because you already know what is goin to happen next… and yes its gonna be hard and this isn’t helping me study for finals… but i have had this on my chest for a very long time…I remebered in the four season when the Yale vs. Harvard game Rory’s grandfather said that she grduates in 2007 and that made me think and i thought maybe the would end when she did……… but i didnt think about it that much because it was three years to keep watching and I was goin to serinade in it…. because i just forgot about it untill now….. that promo made me cry I was soo sad when it said “after 7 years its time to say good-bye”
I will always love the Gilmore Girls Cast
o my word!!!
why on earth wouldnt rory marry logan?!!?!?
WHAT THE HECK!!
I almost cried when I read the script when rory denied him!!!
they are the best couple in the whole world!!!
ughhh!!!!!!!
that makes me sooo mad!!!
the first time I saw Logan I was like OMW he is sooo hot!!! lol
well I think that rory should marry logan :)
okay that leAnne girl is a little too obsessed with gilmroe girls!!!
whoa!
I can believe she said no b/c she’s crazy, but I’m so disappointed. Why the heck does she think getting married so young is bad and will hold her back? I hate that the show promotes that idea. I was 21 years old when I married my husband. He was supportive of me as I attended law school. I am now an attorney and a mother, and we’re still happily married. People can get married young, have successful careers and successful marriages, but Rory Gilmore doesn’t seem to think so.
i think she should have said yes it a huntzberger
i agree with the fist person but ihave never thought about it ending witch is stupid because it will end and on tuesday i will be sobbing the whole day i love gilmore girls i cant watch the promo because evrytime i do i cry and rory and logan should be together i will misss all that i have learned and loved and i will devinetly miss the funniest part of my week its like nothing funny happends and then BOOM! it so funny like oy with the poddles already im soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sad i will always have a spot for the gilmore girls in my heart
i will alaways love the gilmore girls
Soooo sad that the show is going to end. I love GG so much..people around me don’t understand to what extent. Love the script (so funny and witty), the speed that they talked and the wonderful characters. Heck I’m even going to miss that guy with the funny french accent. I’m particularly not pleased with how its going to end either. As far as the “rorylogan” relationship, I’m soooo disappointed he is such a jerk for not wanting to try! Hmmmph!!
PLEASE READ
i know ive said this like 20 times but im sad that rory is going to iowa and leaving the 2nd best thing that ever happend to her logan they r so perfect i love the way the have been together 4 3 years and they seem so perfect together and i love them i just cant belive it is over tomorrow and i have tried telling myself that they r joking but it wont work im soooooooooooooooooooooooooo sad i cant live without seeing them on tuesdays and it is so hard to think all i will see is reruns and thats not cool like surprising things that happend like lorelai preposing or rory droping out of yale and steeling a yotch wont be anymore and i cant help myself but some where inside of me its like come on its not to late it can still work there can still be another season……. i never thought about it ending and i should have because its not like it wont ever end i mean i would be happy with 1 more season but i mean it is like my world is ending and i feel alone im so sad and my mom likes them not like me or anything but still she is sad and will cry
if you go to youtbe.com and search what not to do wile watching the gilmore girls series finnale it is sort of funny so watch it I DID NOT MAKE IT
so have fun watch it
i will always have a spot in my heart forthe gilmore girls and i know i already said that in my last coment
p.s i dont care if you watch the video
Rory and Logan are too young to get married. She’s too smart and sophisticated–needs to see the world first (otherwise, like many a 20something marriage, it would end in divorce). The sad reality is that if she’s still single a decade later, a guy like Logan’s going to look pretty good but guys like Logan get married young. Connundrum :(
I love Gilmore Girls it is my favorite show on TV I’m so sad that it’s over. I’m crying as I type this. I’ll miss it. Congrats to the cast and crew for making a wonderful 7 year show. I’ll miss ya’ll!
I was so sad watching this scene, I cried! I do not understand why she said NO! It was totaly unlogical for me! The marriage does not set back anybody! If you are together with your partner for 3 years, you even live together the next step is marriage not long distance relationship! I totaly understand, why Logan said this!
I hate this! I cried, and i couldn’t stop!
Rory sould be with him, and i hate Rory for not saying yes, and i hate Logan for not even giving teh whole distance thing. And it’s make me so sad when i then remember that it wont be a season 8, so you really don’t know how things will work out for Rory.
It makes me so sad …
Oh no! I’m going to start crying again!
I guess i’m the only person who is glad that Rory said No to Logan. He is an okay guy and Rory and some adventures with him. And he seemed to treat her okay. But he was very controlling. and he really only thought of himself alot. They have a fight and he runs off and sleeps with all those girls then. Then he tells her I love you but I thought we were broken up so it was okay that I slept around. Or she asks him not to mention that her and Marty had known each other and he just comes right out and says it and hurts peoples feelings. Or she wants him to go with her to Lane’s baby shower but he is too depressed so he’s going to Vegas. He only thought of Logan alot. Rory could do so much better. They were from 2 different works, they came together for a while. But it wouldn’t have lasted.
I am going to miss Gilmore Girls…I hope they do a movie set a few years in the future that will kind of wrap up the story lines and give it a good ending.
He shouldn’t have asked her to marry him the way he did. I would have said no too! However, Logan is way adorable… so it totally makes up for the lame proposal. Rory…run after Jess! He still cares for you! And Logan… I’m available! lol
you know why rory didnt say yes.. she said shes to young.. umm whos married dean and lisney.. umm LANE AND ZACK… you are not to young.. and because lorlei gave her opinion.. and she made it sound like it was her choice but she made it sound like she doesnt approve! i hate lorlei for that
Rory could chane her mind and Married Logan.
I hope not. She belongs to Deno.
Rory blelongs with Jess.
Jess is okay, at least better than Logan.
But Dean was her first love and he was the only guy who never brought her into trouble. Rory is a independet woman, she should not get married. I would not like to see that. It’s okay if you think Jess is the right guy. In my opinion it’s Dean.
Brad and Tristan are from high school. and Marty is from yale Dean’s Sister Clara Honor is Logan’s sister Gigi is Rory ‘s Half sister and Doola is Jess’s Half sister.
Grarham and Doyle zack and brian and Jacob are great.
Lane is good too.
Gil and Dave Young chui and Henry are great.
John and kyle thorw a party.
Tana Janet Madeline Lousie and Todd and Franice are great.
Dean and Clara have a older sister who was Metion and a Nepwhen.
ok… i just have to say i am proper mad at the writers of the show and really think that after all this time where logan was a jerk and a screw up and now he is perfect and working and even is starting to get lorelai’s approval and we no rory loves him they should at least stay together or she should ask him to wait and he says yes or something. what a horrible way to end!!! i hate you script writers!! it would be easy to admit gilmore girls was over if it was a good ending not rory leaving which, by the way i could never imagine rory leaving especially without any sense of time for when she will come home….. if it was a bhappy ending it wouldnt be so sad that the show was over!! :(
Rory is crazy because logan is perfect she should have said yes right away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel like i have waisted 7 years on this show it just didnt end the way it was supposed to i am very dissapointed with the writers but gilmoregirls will still always be my fav show!
hello i love the gilmore girls
I think the writers just got lazy on this one. They just needed a fast way to tie up all the loose ends. What I did like though on the last episode was when Luke and Lorilai kiss. That made my heart thump because they were always my favorite couple.
the thing is that is the saddest part is that amy said shew knew the last 2 lines of the shows finale and she didn’t get to write them :(
I love Gilmore Girls as much as the next person here. I didn’t like that Logan actually proposed (I didn’t like much of anything that came from the new writers) but I do think that in the circumstances, Rory was right to say ‘no’. Rory has always been an only child and as an only child, she has had a dream of traveling around the world and writing or reporting what was really going on. Rory was always independent. I think that maybe she wanted to travel and fulfill her dream of being a foreign correspondent. I remember at some point (I can’t quite remember when but if anyone does remember when I’m talking about, just shout out) that Paris asked Rory something (sorry for the vagueness) and Paris concluded that Rory would put her career first before love. Also, Rory would be very restricted to what she would be able to do. Would Rory have been able to go on the Obama Campaign indefinitely if she was married to Logan and living in California? Probably not. Rory was right to say ‘no’, because she would want to establish her career before she gets married. It was the same with Lorelai. Lorelai doesn’t consider marriage until she’s in her 30′s and running an Inn. Later she opens an Inn and supposedly would get married to Luke. Rory may also have an image that marriage means settling down and not traveling around the world which would be another reason that she was right to say ‘no’. Lorelai is also Rory’s role model and it is not surprising that they have similar opinions.
I hat Rory for
saying no!! Logen is so cute and perfect!!
