As Stars Hollow prepares for its annual Spring Fling festival, Rory brings Logan to her hometown and shows him around. When Lorelai sees how serious the relationship has become, she worries that Logan is too irresponsible for Rory. Meanwhile, Taylor (recurring guest star MICHAEL WINTERS) angers the town by spending the entire Spring Fling budget on a huge hay bale maze. During an unexpected encounter in the maze, Lorelai and Luke apologize to each other and admit they both made mistakes that led to the end of their engagement. Also, Rory gets a job interview with the Providence Journal-Bulletin and struggles with decisions about her future.

After noticing Sookie's recent odd behavior, Lorelai forces Jackson (recurring guest star JACKSON DOUGLAS) to tell her the reason for it. Meanwhile, Luke and Anna (recurring guest star SHERILYN FENN) attend a hearing to decide their custody battle over April (recurring guest star VANESSA MARANO). With help from Paris, Rory finally makes amends with Lucy (recurring guest star KRYSTEN RITTER), who tells her that she and Marty (recurring guest star WAYNE WILCOX) have broken up. While attending Richard's economics class at Yale, Rory witnesses a frightening scene. And Christopher (recurring guest star DAVID SUTCLIFFE) finds the character reference that Lorelai wrote for Luke and confronts her.

When Lorelai visits Luke's diner for the first time since their breakup, she finds that they are awkward and uncomfortable together. Later, Lorelai's Jeep breaks down, and she asks Luke to help her shop for a new car. But Lorelai and Luke's irritation with each other finally explodes into a fight--which Lorelai secretly takes as a good sign. Meanwhile, after Paris is accepted into numerous law schools and medical schools, she decides she must break up with her boyfriend so their relationship won't influence her choice of graduate school. And Rory gets a surprising letter that impacts her future plans.

When an ex-con who has recently been released from prison goes missing, the team questions whether her past mistakes, including embezzling money from former clients, may have come back to haunt her. Recurring guest star Henry Thomas (Gangs of New York, E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial) appears as Franklin Romar, a suspect who is arrested by Vivian during a raid on a brothel.
