S7, E13: In a hospital waiting room, Lorelai, Rory and Emily anxiously await word on Richard's condition. When Logan hears what is happening, he borrows a helicopter to be by Rory's side, but Lorelai is unable to reach Christopher (recurring guest star DAVID SUTCLIFFE), who is still angry over their fight from the night before. Upset because Emily is attempting to remain calm by dealing with her social calendar, Lorelai is relieved when Luke shows up unexpectedly and volunteers to run errands for Emily. Christopher finally arrives to be with Lorelai, but the scene at the hospital is more than he can take.
