In the hospital waiting room, Lorelai (Lauren Graham), Rory (Alexis Bledel) and Emily (Kelly Bishop) anxiously await word on Richard's (Edward Herrmann) condition. When Logan (Matt Czuchry) hears what is happening, he borrows a helicopter to be by Rory's side, but Lorelai is unable to reach Christopher (David Sutcliffe), who is still angry over their fight the night before.

Law & Order: SVU (10 p.m. NBC) - "Loophole." A photograph in the envelope leads Dets. Fin (Ice-T) and Munch (Richard Belzer) to the apartment building that houses the crime scene.

Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay), the victim (guest star Marquis Rodriguez), and the boy's mother (guest star Karen Olivio) when they all appear to have similar medical issues.

QUICK CUTS
*ABC wants to make your dream come true with its new reality show The Great American Dream Vote. Donny Osmond will host the program that is currently searching for people with dreams. From the press release:

From the producers of ABC’s “The Bachelor” comes a new show that gives anyone the chance to make his/her lifelong wishes come true. All you need is the ability to dream big -- and to convince America to vote for you. The producers are looking for real people with real stories who want to make their dreams come alive.

Each episode of “The Great American Dream Vote” will introduce eight contestants from across America, all of whom will reveal a lifelong dream to the studio audience and explain why they think it deserves to be fulfilled. As the contestants square off, the studio audience will cast votes, eliminating entrants over several rounds. By the end of each show, only two finalists will remain. Then viewers at home will have the opportunity to vote on which of the two most deserves to have his or her dream realized, and the results will be disclosed at the opening of the following week’s episode.
