Back at the Crap Shack that night, Chris and Rory are back from dinner and feeding Paul Anka the leftover key lime pie. Now, people, I don't mean to be a stickler, but that ain't right. Unless you want your house to be wall-to-wall dog diarrhea, please do not feed him pie. Or anything besides dog food. I'm telling you. Learn from the tragic errors of my youth. Paul Anka seems to understand this, if the people don't, and this disaster is further averted by the arrival of Lorelai. She and Christopher immediately have awkward, pause-y conversation, and Rory makes a quick exit to walk Paul Anka. Lorelai apologizes for not calling Christopher back after his message from the last episode, and asks if he'd like to have coffee. After saying yes, Christopher finally has to come clean. He can't just sit there and have coffee with Lorelai...because he loves her. "I know the other night didn't mean for you what it did for me," he says, but he can't stop thinking about it: "Not just because it was great, which is was, but because it was right." He says that if he has to wait until he's eighty for Lorelai to see that they belong together, he will. "This is it for me," he says. "You're it for me, and I can't pretend to feel any less than I do." With that, he walks out, leaving Lorelai standing in her white dress.
In bed that night, Rory finally calls Logan and wakes him up. "I just...I sent you a text the other day," she says, nervous. He laughs, dare I say it, sexily. "I know," he says. "I texted you back." The word "texted" is bothering me, big-time. Rory suddenly notices that, yes, she has a text message on her phone that she didn't see before. "Oh...wow," she says. "Whoa, yours is really good." She says she'll let him go so that he can sleep, but no, he's awake now and, well, ready to bring sexy back, if you know what I'm saying. He insists that she text him back: "You started this." Rory's all shy: "I know, but I don't have my books with me." Aw. I want to tell her to shut up, but that's just cute. "You don't need your books, Ace," Logan says, all full of desire. "I miss you, Rory." They hang up and get it on, new school-style.
Upstairs, Lorelai sits in her room, looking at the corsage Michel gave her. Pensively, she picks up her phone and makes a call and breaks all our hearts: "Hi, Chris."
