Lorelai learns that Rory slept with her married ex-boyfriend, Dean; Luke is relieved that Lorelai wants to pursue their romantic relationship; after announcing her separation from Richard, Emily leaves for Paris.
Rory calls Lorelai from Rome and admits she made a mess of things with Dean; Dean's wife throws him out of the house after she finds a letter from Rory; Luke and Lorelai are interrupted by a town parade.
Lorelai is offended that no one appears to care about her relationship with Luke, until it becomes the topic of a heated town-meeting discussion.
Dean's sharing a car with his estranged wife and distant living arrangement make it difficult for him and Rory to be alone together.
Lorelai suggests that she and Luke double-date with Rory and Dean, but things don't quite go as planned; Emily and Richard are lonely and lost without each other, but neither wants to take the first step toward reconciliation.
Lorelai and Sookie are thrilled when author Norman Mailer and a young reporter make return visits to the inn's dining room, but Sookie's awe turns to annoyance when the writer fails to order any food.
