The Party's Over (S05E08)

Rory is honored when Emily and Richard give a party to introduce her to their Yale alumni friends, but it soon becomes obvious that their ulterior motive is to find her a suitable husband. When Dean (recurring guest star Jared Padalecki) arrives at the party to pick Rory up, he realizes he doesn't belong in her privileged world. Meanwhile, Luke cooks a romantic dinner for Lorelai, but their evening is interrupted by newlyweds Liz (Kathleen Wilhoite) and T.J. (Michael DeLuise), who are feuding. (Warner Bros. UK)
