Read "French Twist" Recap
Discussion Questions:
- Was there any foreshadowing with Lorelai mentioning that Paris is "the city of love"?
- What made Rory such a good editor?
- Does Rory now realize, as she steps down from being editor, that a whole new future is just around the corner?
- Why is Lane hiding her pregnancy from Mrs. Kim?
- Shouldn’t Zack be more freaked out about having twins?
- Do you think Lorelai gushes too much about how great Gigi is?
- What do you think of the Lorelai / Chris relationship so far? Too mushy? Or the love Lorelai deserves?
- Are Olivia & Lucy just "filler" for Rory’s life, without the paper?
- Why does Mrs. Kim want Lane & Zack to move in?
- Why does Rory take Lucy & Olivia to Stars Hollow? Isn’t that odd? Is it a way to bring Stars Hollow into the episode?
- Did Lane & Zack not realize that having twins meant growing up, being parents?
- Why is Rory freaked by her wall of height measurements?
- Why didn’t Chris pull his "money" magic earlier, to get Lorelai into a restaurant?
- Does Chris view his relationship with Lorelai as just continuing a story? Is that dangerous, not knowing if they are "now" as good for each other?
- Do you think Lorelai really loves Chris? Or, is he just doing everything "right"?
- Is Lorelai being swept off her feet "too" much, forgetting about reality?
- Why does Rory see her life as ending, not beginning?
- Is Chris rushing Lorelai to get married, knowing she’s probably not ready and would back out?
- Why does Mrs. Kim invite herself to move in with Lane & Zack?
- Why do you think Marty was brought back, as Lucy’s boyfriend?
- Why does Marty ignore Rory?
- Why did the show skip over the actual Lorelai / Chris wedding? Are they trying to imply it wasn’t a big deal?
- Does Lorelai only realize what she’s done after she got home to "reality"? Does she regret it?

if Chris has so much money than y doesnt diamond in her wedding band????
I always had trouble understanding Lorelai’s actions in the Lorelai/Chris story.
Chris I understood – he loved Lorelai (or maybe just the Lorelai of his memories) and pushed the relationship as far and as fast as he could to keep from losing her again.
I never felt Lorelai loved Chris and I don’t understand her actions. I think it is the fact that her actions made no sense and were not adequately explained was the major problem with the last season.
i really think they left everything unsaid i think there should deff be a season 8 y wasnt there i just dont understand the gilmore girls is and was my fav show….
Lorelai is so cute interacting with GiGi. I am one of the minorities who loves Christopher. He(David) has such wonderful chemistry with Lauren.
I think that Lorelai does love Chris, and that she will always love him, he was her first love. Chris is fun and has known her forever. He can also be very sweet and kind and knows how to win her over.
I also think that Chris is the opposite of Luke, he is fun and uncomplicated and he was available and wanted to marry her. Yes he swept her off he feet, but I think she let herself be swept becuase of what happened between herself and Luke.
So, yes Lorelai does love Chris, but I think she married him for all the wrong reasons. I think she loves him, but let herself be swept into thinking that she was in love with him.
I dont like this episode,cuz Chris make Lorelai marry him without Rory.
Anyone who ever liked Chris is a big fat moron who needs to be shot. Lorelai belongs to Luke not chris. Chris is a ass who should’nt breed with woman. All of Chris Lovers make me sick. Luke & Lorelai forever. Chris & Lorelai never again you fools
Awful. i won’t watch this episode ever again even if a gun was put to my head.
i think lorelai could have been happy with chris if she’d never met luke. but she did, so i dont think she would ever be satisfied with chris again. For those of you who have read the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer, the love triangle between Bella, Edward, and Jacob is very similar. if she’d never met edward, bella could have been happy with jacob, but since she did meet edward, she can never be happy with jacob
