Discussion Questions:

• Why did the town give Taylor is hay bale maze?
• Why is Paris annoyed with Logan being there?
• Should Rory and Logan move to their own place?
• Why is Rory so nervous if she’s been interviewing at so many papers?
• Do you think Rory is comparing everything to the New York Times position?
• Is there significance to April’s gift, which means to "aim more true"?
• Why does Rory ask permission to bring Logan to the Spring Fling if he was to come to the baby shower (but didn’t)?
• Are you surprised Logan has never been to Stars Hollow? That Rory never brought him there? Why is that?
• Do you think Rory wants the Providence paper job, or just to be offered a job?
• Why did Lorelai set up two beds in Rory’s room?
• What do you think of Lane & Zack’s baby names? Steve & Kwan?
• Would you be angry with Taylor if the hay was piled in front of your diner like that?
• Does Lorelai disapprove of Logan’s business tactics? Does she think he’s been too pampered, perhaps, in terms of doing whatever he wants?
• Is Lorelai annoyed by Logan’s "idea book"? If so, why?
• Do you think people in the town expect Lorelai & Luke to get back together?
• Why did Taylor spend all the town Spring Fling money without town approval?
• Why doesn’t Taylor want the traditional booths and activities at the Spring Fling?
• With Taylor’s insane love of town elements, are you surprised he’d move the gazebo?
• Do you think Logan has a firm business plan, or just idealistic faith in his contacts?
• Should Rory accept the Providence paper job, or wait for the fellowship with the New York Times?
• Do you think Rory is confident she’ll get the fellowship?
• Why does Lorelai get mad at Logan for telling Rory to gamble and go for the fellowship?
• Is Logan right? Is he doing the same thing Lorelai did, turning his back on his family, or does he still partially have that silver spoon in his mouth?
• Do you think Logan takes things too lightly?
• Is Lorelai prone to disapprove of Logan because he is/was rich? Do you think she’s now learning to see above that?
• Why doesn’t Logan want to be a factor in Rory’s pro/con list? Should he be? Is it even possible to factor him out?
• Is Rory too used to getting what she wants? Does that influence her decision to reject the Providence job?
• What do you think of the hay bale maze? More fun than the normal Spring Fling?
• Do you think both Lorelai & Luke have been waiting for a private moment to apologize for a while now? Why did they wait? What do the apologies mean?
• Do you think, without gaining partial custody of April, Luke would have realized his error in trying to fix things with April before being with Lorelai?
• What was Luke afraid of when he used April to push Lorelai away?
