Those Are Strings, Pinocchio (S03E22)

Rory readies to graduate from Chilton and circumvents Lorelai to make a deal that will ensure her future at Yale and enable her mother to bid on the Dragonfly Inn. In other developments, Emily and Richard give Rory an extravagant gift; Luke considers taking a cruise with Nicole; and Rory and Lorelai negotiate the contents of their summer-abroad backpacks.
