After tonight, no new Gilmore Girls until April 11.
The love lives of both girls come to a head. At Honor Huntzberger’s wedding, Rory learns Logan was a misbehaver following their big breakup. And Lorelai, still off-balance following the postponement of the wedding, finds herself again growing closer to Christopher. Paris now works for Rory at the Yale Daily News, and Zack’s putting the band back together.
This episode introduces another new face — RoboCop’s Peter Weller — and Jack isn’t happy to see him. A lead on a company that makes Sentox nerve gas for the military steers Jack straight into an old nemesis, Christopher Henderson (Weller). It was Henderson who first recruited Jack to CTU, and he was head of field operations — until Jack brought him down on corruption charges. Meanwhile, big, bad Bierko (Julian Sands) plots an attack on U.S. soil.
