Outside, Christopher is loading up his bike. Rory asks that he call when he gets home. He says he will. She asks him to call more often. He says he will. They hug. He whispers in Rory's ear. She walks over to Lorelai and says, "Dad wants to know if you'll reconsider." Lorelai whispers in Rory's ear. Rory walks back over to Christopher and says, "She says, 'Nope. Offspring sucks and Metallica rules.'" Oh, that's not awkward for Rory. ["Yeah, I didn't buy that either." -- Wing Chun] Lorelai and Christopher embrace and say goodbye. Christopher rides off on his bike. "He wanted you to marry him, didn't he?" Rory asks. Lorelai calls Rory a spy. Rory says that crazier things have happened. "You mean crazier than having your mom and dad married?" Rory: "Yes." Lorelai: "I don't think they have." Rory asks why it's so crazy. Lorelai says that Christopher wants things he's not ready for. Rory says that he might be able to change, and that he came to Stars Hollow when he never had before. Lorelai asks Rory to stop so that she doesn't get worked up over this. Rory says Christopher loves Lorelai, and asks whether Lorelai loves him. Lorelai says that she'll always love him, but that he's not ready for her and Rory. She says that it wasn't right, and asks Rory to trust her. They start walking back to the house. Rory says she thinks there was something different. Lorelai says that Rory might be right, and tells her not to put all of the blankets away just yet.
Luke walks into his diner and finds Lorelai standing there, covered in paint. The place is already painted. He asks how she got in there. She says that the bread guy let her in. He looks around the place as Lorelai bounces and smiles. He says it looks pretty good. He thanks her. She says it's fun. They start setting up the diner as Luke asks where "the guy" is. Lorelai says he's gone. Luke: "Oh. Too bad." Lorelai: "We'll be fine." Lorelai asks whether Luke could put up curtains. Luke says no. They fight over the curtains as we pan back out the diner to end the episode.
Next week, wackiness ensues as Lorelai tries to sneak out of the house after Emily and Richard set her up on a blind date. Ooh, and more CuteDean!
