All the townspeople of Stars Hollow come to Liz's (recurring guest star KATHLEEN WILHOITE) Renaissance-themed wedding. Jess (former series star MILO VENTIMIGLIA) walks Liz down the aisle, and Lorelai and Luke share a romantic dance, after which Luke asks Lorelai out on a date. Meanwhile, as Yale students begin their summer break, Rory attends a drunken party and has to call Dean (former series star JARED PADALECKI) to drive her back to the dorm. Dean tries to explain his unhappy marriage to Rory, but they are interrupted when Jess arrives and makes Rory a surprising offer.

Rory encounters Dean (former series star JARED PADALECKI) for the second time at the Dragonfly Inn and gets a glimpse of his new life. Later, Lorelai and Rory decide to spend a day together at the mall, but they run into Emily and are caught up in her wild shopping spree. When Lorelai questions her mother on her out-of-control spending, Emily admits that she is getting revenge on Richard, who has been ignoring her to concentrate on his new business. Meanwhile, although Lane is excited to be moving into her first apartment with two of her band mates, she is also hurt by her mother's (recurring guest star EMILY KURODA) coldness.

On the night before Lane and Zach (recurring guest star TODD LOWE) get married, Lorelai and Rory's plans for a bachelorette party go awry, as do the plans made by Zach's buddies, so the two groups end up together for a makeshift party in a vacant parking lot. Meanwhile, Mrs. Kim (recurring guest star EMILY KURODA) tells Lorelai to bring an escort to the wedding. Since Luke is still out of town, Lorelai invites Christopher (recurring guest star DAVID SUTCLIFFE) to be her date. Everyone attends two wedding ceremonies--one Buddhist and one Seventh Day Adventist--followed by a wild wedding reception in the town square.
