The death of an ex-marine leads the team to a group of doomsday preppers, while Brennan dreads the impending flight of Sweets from the family nest.

Lorelai offers to help Christopher by baby-sitting his 4-year-old daughter, but the child's behaviour horrifies her.

Emily tells Lorelai that she would like to get to know her future son-in-law better and asks her to invite Luke over for dinner.

Lorelai finds it difficult to fully commit to her relationship with Christopher; Rory meets eccentric new friends at an art exhibit; Emily gets arrested.

While Luke deals with the reality of having April in his life, Lorelai tries to pretend she does not mind the repercussions the new situation is having on their engagement.

Rory and Logan invite Luke and Lorelai to spend a weekend with them at Logan's family house on Martha's Vineyard.
