Set Up, Wash Out

I was rewatching my taped episodes of this season, and something hit me so hard I thought I hit the floor. Okay, do you know the episode when Rory returns to the Gilmore fold? I think the episode is called The Prodigal Daughter Returns. Anywhoo. The people over at GG set up Rory's return with her finding a place to stay away from the Grandparents and her reconcilating with her mother, but that's not the set up I'm referring to. I'm talking about Rory getting her job back at Logan's dad's paper in Stanford. It was Rory doing the Lor thing, you know the Lor thing. The Lor thing is when Lorelai goes into her nothing-but-blinders-on mode. And I have to say that Rory doing this usual Lor thing was great. She bugged, camped-out, stalked and all but handcuffed her former boss to her. But as soon as this story set up went into the episode, it washed out in the next episode. What does that mean? Did she lose the job? Or was it another GG inconsistency? My money is on the GG inconsistency. But at least, we got to get a great Rory moment out of it.
