Lorelai surprises herself when she finds the perfect wedding dress in the first shop she looks in, and finishes planning the wedding in no time. Back at Yale, Rory moves into Paris and Doyle's run-down apartment and rejoins the Daily News. Lane is distressed after her break-up with Zach and takes it out on her mother. Luke meets up with Anna, the mother of his twelve-year-old daughter.
