2!!But I'm A Gilmore!
3->'''Written by:''' Amy Sherman-Palladino
4Rory decides to break up with Logan because his tendency to not call her isn't working for her. He caves and agrees to go exclusive, even though she wasn't asking for that. Rory meets Logan's sister and later parents. Sookie is on bedrest and Luke fills in for her, which makes her uncomfortable because he's not a gourmet chef, despite being unwilling to hire a replacement for her maternal leave. Paris comes home to find Doyle who is too sick to move, but not too sick to whine, so she enlists her nanny to take care of him as sick people freak her out.
