Reasons to Love Luke
Mainly, he hates Logan.
Last night's Very Special Valentine's Gilmore was skipped by me so I could spend a few fleeting moments with my own Valentine who is not much of a Gilmore watcher. I think it has something to do with the fast talking girls in it. But nonetheless, I postponed watching until this evening.
Rory invited Lorelei and Luke to spend Valentine's weekend with her and Logan at the Hunsberger compound on Martha's Vineyard. It was as awkward as it sounds. Luke, it turns out, hates staying at other people's houses with their sheets and their weird tap water. I love Luke. He even complains about Logan when Logan does nothing wrong, just like I do. Perhaps I'm the female Luke, minus the diner and backwards baseball cap. Anywho, he gets overly cranky and finally makes Lorelei snap a bit and rightfully so. She's feeling uptight as it is with the postponed wedding. She finally owns up to not being comfortable with the wedding postponement and he assures her rather sweetly that he fully intends to marry her. The next morning he even talks about eloping with her, or planning something for later in the summer. They seem to agree that he needs to tell her he loves her more and she needs to relax and realize that they are still getting married.
Meanwhile, Rory is in her element, not at all her mother's daughter, as she plays housewife for Logan. There are a few cute Lorelei/Rory scenes, scenes like they used to have all the time and that I miss now. They went to the gym as only Lorelei and Rory can (getting massages and drinking cucumber water as their workouts) and then as "cook" in the Hunsberger kitchen.
The episode ends with Logan getting into a very loud argument with his dad. Turns out he blew off a meeting with his Dad's contacts of some sort in order to have this weekend. He has to fly to London immediately and it becomes very clear that Logan is living in a dream world, part of which Rory awkwardly fits into (in reality, if he's forced to have the perfect job for his stature, that whole Rory not fitting in part has to come up again, no?).
And then Lorelei and Luke, newly bonded over her openness about the wedding postponement and his admission that he's sometimes too inward when dealing with problems (like a new daughter), wind up at home and find their escape worked as well as Logan's: Luke still has a daughter he's figuring out how to deal with and Lorelei still has the June 3rd wedding date advertised everywhere as her mother pulls another Emily and has announced it in the newspaper with the world's largest engagement announcement.

I loved the way Logan introduced Luke to lobster and then Luke decided he wanted it for their wedding. It made me laugh.
Will Rory wake up to the fact that Logan is in a dream world?

Probably not. It's so easy to get caught up in the fantasy. That's another really great contrast going on right now: Rory and Logan are living this fantasy life, all lovey dovey and not at all based on the reality that she'll never be accepted by his family and he'll have to leave her because of it.
Meanwhile, Luke and Lorelei have no fantasy at all, and are being bogged down by the reality of life and that each of them deal with problems differently and are so used to being independent.
