The next morning, Rory is describing her recent community-service ordeal to Logan over mimosas. Mmm. We learn that Rory has completed 125 of her hours, and has 175 to go, which is a little off her goal, she says, but she's confident that she can get it all done. Logan looks at his watch and says he has to go. He has a meeting with his faculty advisor, allegedly, at which he has to convince her that this is the semester he's finally going to make something of himself. Why bother, dude? You have millions and can steal boats and shit with no consequences while your silly girlfriend on whom you are probably cheating peels potatoes for your mutual crime. What's your nickname for your faculty advisor? Let me guess: "Doc"?
Luke and Lorelai wake up, and he breaks it to her about his experience with Paul Anka. He tells the whole story while she looks on in (beautiful) abject horror. The vet had given the dog the vomit-inducing medicine after which Paul Anka hurled for a few hours, while Luke stood by him, making sure he rehydrated himself with water and then chocolate-proofing the apartment and the diner: "And now, I'm going to go downstairs and make Paul Anka some scrambled eggs, because the vet said kibble might be a little hard on his stomach for a couple of days." After hearing all this, Lorelai squints, concentrating, and looks at him. "Luke," she sighs, "I don't want to set a wedding date until things are right with Rory." Luke must be used to such outbursts by now, because he doesn't even flinch -- just nods and says "Okay" and goes off to make eggs for Lorelai's dog, while she smiles.
Back at Yale, Rory stands out in the commons area watching the new students arrive and orient themselves. She smiles wistfully, and we fade out...
...and back into her induction into the DAR where, surrounded by her grandparents' friends, she looks miserable as she is applauded and welcomed to the club.
