This is the biggest “Just be my dad” cry I’ve ever heard from Lorelai on this show. Richard is just like Emily, always thinking with his emotions first. They put that before being a parent.

Richard was a viper working in a den of fellow vipers, his behavior was no more surprising than Lorelei's reaction to it. Sure enough, she showed that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree by how she treated Jason, same as she treated Max and Luke. The entire Gilmore clan is actually pretty dreadful.

Yea but she had a point that Richard wasn’t treated well by his workplace who forced him out and they could have settled things better instead of going after Jason

That was awful, telling your daughter to leave because you won’t agree to anything.. didn’t remember Richard was so callous

Emily was right, Jason's reasons for working with Richard were so petty and childish, nothing good could come out of it. Yes, his father was horrible, but instead of make him an enemy he should have gone somewhere else, other careers, other place, away from him...

Funny that Lorelai ran away from her parents & broke their hearts because she thought about only what she wanted for herself & for Rory. But when Richard had to make a similar choice to protect what he & his wife had after Jason's dad filed that lawsuit, Lorelai saw it only from her point of view. She never grew up-she made everything about her. Ugh.

I understand why Richard did what he did. But in season 2 his former employers didn't think twice before denigrating him, ignoring him. Lorelai said it best: "That job was killing him". And now they threaten him and try to take everything from him 0:41. What more proof do you need that this company are bad people? Richard says he isn't choosing anyone. To me, that's the problem. Make a choice and stay away from those people. But okay, what's done is done. He did what he did to preserve his life. Richard Gilmore is neither the first nor the last person in the world who has to work for someone mean in order to provide for his family. Like I said, I understand. Still, the least he could do is show some remorse and empathy, admit what you did was wrong (a necessary evil is still an evil). Don't accuse your daughter of being selfish when you go back to work for the selfish ones.

Poor Jason!!!

let the madness begin

But they always eat dinner at 7, so why are they surprised?

You know showing this scene to someone who does not know Gilmore girls would probably end in that person thinking Richard as the strict and sometimes cruel parent, not Emily. I understand what he did, but he could have done it while treating Lorelei better. The first scene was hard to watch.

Why not just bring your drinks 🍹 to the table anyway? How’s that weird? Most people will have a beverage with their meal 🍽️

You know when Emily Gilmore refers to Jason by his real name,she just got way past real.

Too bad little Lorili

So let me get this straight, Emily and Richard separated because of Jason and Lorelai??
