Ted Koppel's Big Night Out (S04E09)

Rory and Lorelai attend Richard and Emily's posh tailgating party at the Yale-Harvard football game, where an encounter with Richard's college sweetheart exposes an upsetting secret he's been keeping for more than 30 years. Elsewhere, Paris tries to score an interview with a distinguished faculty member (Michael York); Rory has reservations about Luke's new waiter; and Lorelai finally accepts Jason's dinner invitation.
