"Bon Voyage" was the initial series finale of the American comedy-drama series ''Gilmore Girls''. The episode serves as the 22nd episode of the seventh season and the show's 153rd episode overall. Written by David S. Rosenthal and directed by Lee Shallat-Chemel, the episode was originally broadcast on The CW in the United States on May 15, 2007. ''Gilmore Girls'' centers on the relationship of Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham) and her daughter Rory (Alexis Bledel). In this episode, Rory gets a job offer, which forces her to cancel her plans to go on vacation with her mother, and the town of Stars Hollow organizes a farewell party for her. "Bon Voyage" received mixed reviews from television critics and fans. Even cast members, including Kelly Bishop, Liza Weil and Edward Herrmann expressed their dissatisfaction with the conclusion. It was viewed by 4.9 million Americans, garnering a 2.9/9 Nielsen rating/share in the 18–49 demographic. ''Bon Voyage'' remained as a conclusion to ''Gilmore Girls'', before in October 2015, when Netflix picked up the series for an additional four 90-minute episodes as a limited run. Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino will return to helm the series. ==Plot== The episode starts with Lorelai (Lauren Graham) introducing Rory (Alexis Bledel) to CNN journalist Christiane Amanpour who stayed at the Dragonfly Inn. Lorelai then talks about their plans for their one-month trip across the United States and, while Rory finalizes her 74 résumés, she announces the town is preparing a graduation party for her. At Luke's Diner, Luke Danes (Scott Patterson) makes orders regarding the party. At Friday Night Dinner, Rory arrives late because she had an interview. She announces to Lorelai and her grandparents Emily (Kelly Bishop) and Richard Gilmore (Edward Herrmann) that she has been offered a job as a reporter to cover Barack Obama's presidential campaign and his bid for the Democratic Party nomination for an online magazine, after another reporter dropped out at the last moment, and that she has to leave in three days for an unknown period. The next day, the girls prepare for Rory's departure and have breakfast at Luke's and decide, to the town's disappointment to cancel the party as there is no time for it. However, Luke goes to see Sookie St. James (Melissa McCarthy) at the Inn and suggests they plan a surprise party anyway. Meanwhile, the girls make last-minute errands. They go to Miss Patty (Liz Torres)'s studio to get a back support but the doors are locked. The town is actually holding a secret meeting to discuss the surprise graduation party preparations. Later on, Rory visits her best friend Lane Kim (Keiko Agena). She then goes back home where Lorelai is ironing; the latter admits she thinks Rory's departure is too soon. The next day, the girls drive downtown. There, they see that the whole town has gathered under a tent to say goodbye to Rory. Shortly after, Emily and Richard join the party. Richard says to his daughter Lorelai: "it takes a remarkable person to inspire this". After the party has started, Lorelai says to her parents that they should keep Friday Night Dinner appointments as she has gotten used to it. Sookie tells Lorelai that Luke was the one who organized everything. Lorelai then goes to thank him, he replies "I just want to see you happy", and they share a kiss. The episode concludes with the girls making a final stop at Luke's early in the morning, mirroring the final scene in the pilot episode. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bon Voyage (Gilmore Girls)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
