Sookie watches from the door as Taylor sits down, ready to judge her food. She makes a beeline over to him and asks how his server was: "Derrick. Was he rude? Slow? Stupid?" Taylor says that Derrick's been an excellent waiter all evening. "Crap," Sookie whispers, crestfallen. She leaves.
In the kitchen Lorelai tells Sookie that she has no need for salad in her life, but that this one is amazing. Sookie complains that all of her staff are great. "What happened to the disenfranchised youth of America?" she asks. Michel enters from checking the backup generators and says that everything's going fine. The dinner's going fine. Everyone's settled. The doors are up. Everyone's happy. They listen to the sound of people laughing, talking, eating. "This is gonna work," Lorelai says to Michel and Sookie. She leaves.
What happens when everything seems to be going just fine? Digger. Wearing really bad pants. He tells Lorelai that the place looks great. He's standing in the lobby, and Lorelai isn't happy to see him at all. Digger says they need to talk, and that he's been staying away, giving Lorelai space. Lorelai says it wasn't space; they broke up. Digger says he didn't look at it that way. He thought of it as a cooling-off period. Like escrow. Lorelai reminds Digger that he's suing her father. "Goodbye!" she says. Digger says he's not leaving. Lorelai begs him to go. Digger asks for a room. Lorelai says that every room is taken and that he can't stay: "Please go." She says she'll call him on Monday. Digger can't wait until Monday, since she could talk herself out of trying again with him. Lorelai says she'd have to talk herself into trying first, so she'd probably wait until Tuesday to call him. Digger asks when she's on break. Lorelai says she won't have a break for two days. Digger says those are terrible hours, and that he'd like a word with her boss. Lorelai says she can't do this. Digger says he's been staring at a dead plant for two weeks. He says he's not leaving until they work this out. "Oh, boy," says Lorelai. Digger tells Lorelai to go about her business, and says he'll just sit in the lobby until she's got some time. Jess...I mean "Digger" sits down and cracks a joke about the coffee table book available to him. "Oh, look! Above Connecticut. I've been looking for that." Lorelai doesn't call Security.
Later, during board games, Lulu interrupts her game of Life to tell Kirk she's getting tired. Kirk loudly announces that they're going to bed. The wallpaper in that room is so ugly, it looks like they're at a Bennigans. Babette tells Luke that it appears as though Kirk wants Luke to go upstairs and make love to him.
