I have to acknowledge , this seemed so leftover to me back then ( peculiarly after all that time aside ; I just do n’t think Lorelai would get conjoin without Rory present).”Lorelai rushing into wedding and getting married without having her girl there is very out - of - character for her . It ’s a very odd plot telephone circuit , especially sinceLorelai and Christopher get a divorcea few episodes after . It can be argue that this storyline was needed to ultimately give closure to Lorelai and Christopher ’s relationship , but it for the most part seemed unnecessary .

So there was no need to lie aboutRory and Marty ’s friendshipwith Lucy . The subplot brings unneeded dramatic play to the show and does n’t paint Marty ’s character in the best twinkle , though Rory does n’t total off great either for decease along with Marty ’s ridiculous plan . Rory ’s plot line in " French Twist " is one of the in force parts of the episode , but the Marty and Rory secret plan ends it on a weird annotation .
“French Twist” Does Have Some Highlights
Though " French Twist " cause misstep , the episode has some bright berth . Lane ’s maternity plot line is n’t the good , though she and Zach get some respectable moments together in this episode , and Mrs. Kim is very supportive of the pregnancy . Rory ’s plot line is also full ; her precariousness about her future after graduating from Yale is very relatable . There ’s a very sweet view where Lucy and Olivia comfort her after she breaks down . Seeing Lucy , Olivia , and Rory bond in Stars Hollow while getting colored highlights in their fuzz is also fun . It ’s also a nice change of stride to seeGilmore Girlsexplore a setting alfresco of Connecticut .
Gilmore Girlsseason 7is goodness , despite a few ill-conceived storytelling decisions . Even though " Gallic Twist " is the risky - ratedGilmore Girlsepisode , it ’s not completely irredeemable . Still , this installment ofGilmore Girlslacks a lot of the charm that makes the show normally a joy to watch .
