19. It's Just Like Riding a Bike

Complete story — includes the ending

Lorelai heads to Luke's for her first breakfast there in a while and it becomes an awkward experience for them both. Later on, when Lorelai's Jeep breaks down, Luke helps her shop for a new car. They argue and fight, which Lorelai thinks is ultimately a good sign. Jackson stays with Lorelai when his kids have chicken pox, which he has never had. When he accidentally breaks Lorelai’s childhood doll’s house, he and Sookie argue, but they eventually realise that they are tense because he lied to her about not getting a vasectomy, leading to her being pregnant a third time. Paris gets into all six schools that she applied to. Later, she considers breaking up with Doyle so she can be free of influences when it comes to picking which law or medical school she will attend. Rory receives a letter telling her she has not been selected for the James Reston Reporting Fellowship.
