 Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and Emily (Kelly Bishop) spend a weekend at a health spa, but they sneak out for some real food at a local restaurant where Emily dances with a distinguished stranger (guest star Hal Linden), then blames Lorelai for her feelings of guilt. Back at home, Rory (Alexis Bledel) looks forward to a rare evening alone, but when Paris (Liza Weil), Jess (Milo Ventimiglia) and Dean (Jared Padalecki) all drop by to keep her company, the sparks fly. Scott Patterson also stars. Sheila Lawrence wrote the episode directed by Amy Sherman-Palladino.
