Final Thoughts:

Maid count at 7, no Friday night dinner this time.

This episode was cute.  The writers did a good job of making you understand the struggle between mother and daughter. We could feel Lorelei’s frustration at being left out of the loop and then her seriousness when delivering “the talk.” You could also completely understand Rory’s humiliation at her mom asking Dean on a date. A much as I don’t want to like Dean, he’s growing on me.  It must be the dimples.

This one gets 4 out of 5 Oompa Loompa’s for making me so immersed as a parent and making me remember what it was like to be the daughter.
