Upstairs at Luke's. He's brought up dinner and pie for Jess, who wants to know why Luke's going through his stuff. Luke lies that he's not going through Jess's stuff. Jess says Luke's a bad liar. Luke keeps pretending he didn't do it, even though it's obvious that he did. Luke finally says he did it for Jess's own good. Jess: "Can we be a little more totalitarian around here?" Luke says he's going to ask the questions. He wants to know where Jess got the money for the car. Jess says he worked for it. He says he does jobs around town. He cleans rain gutters. Luke says that still wouldn't earn him enough money. More stalling, more talking around the point. Luke asks if Jess is a gigolo. Jess confesses that he works at a Wal-Mart. He's worked twelve hours a week for the past few months to get extra money to buy a car. Luke says "Wal-Mart" a lot. He thinks it's very funny. He then belittles Jess for having to wear the vest, and for working at a place that has layaway. Jess says he works in the back, moving stock around with a forklift. Luke asks if he needs a special license. Jess says he took the class one Saturday afternoon and got the license. Hey, this is all so interesting, isn't it? Good thing I took that oath. Luke just can't believe that Jess works at Wal-Mart. Just can't believe it. He asks if Jess gets a store discount. He calls Jess the All-American Boy, eating apple pie and working at Wal-Mart. Jess leaves.
Jeep. Night. Rory asks Lorelai if she's okay to drive. Lorelai says she barely drank a thing. Rory says she meant emotionally. Lorelai says she's fine. She does the Christopher Walken bit from Annie Hall. Then they complain that Sherri made them take the deviled eggs from the party. Why did they stay so long? I guess, apparently, everyone shouted over and over, "Take the deviled eggs!" but it's not like we saw that scene. Rory says that all of those women were so drunk. Lorelai asks how Maureen and some woman named Susan almost came to blows. Rory says that, from what she could tell Susan said, "Brwaw! Bleahh, bruoh, blutun bleha," and Maureen took great offense. "Well, yeah," Lorelai says. Lorelai explains why they were there all day: Sherri said if they left at 7, they'd get home at the same time as if they left at 6 and were stuck in traffic. Except it's Sunday, but whatever. Rory and Lorelai chatter on about how Sherri's so traffic-savvy. Lorelai says that messing up the medicine cabinet wasn't enough. It was too tame. Rory confesses that she went back and cleaned it up. Lorelai can't believe Rory ruined her catharsis. Rory tells Lorelai to let it go. Lorelai says that Sherri must know, since she brought Christopher up like that. I agree. Lorelai says she wishes Sherri was doing all of this on purpose so she'd respect her more. Rory says she hopes that Christopher is happy. Lorelai says there's no way Christopher is happy with Sherri and Gigi, the 5 o'clock baby: "And to think I sent him back to her a new man? Man." It was Christopher's idea to go back to her, Lorelai, not yours. And remember how miserable he said he was for the first few months after she was pregnant? Are they confusing the time Christopher crashed Emily's Friday dinner with the wedding? Because Christopher wanted to be with Lorelai, not Sherri. Have one writers' meeting, for Pete's sake, where you go over the script and point out glaring problems like this. Com e on! Rory makes Lorelai stop the car. She has an idea. She wants to egg Jess's car. More specifically, she wants to deviled-egg Jess's car. Lorelai says this is really immature. Rory says they can totally do this: "It's active. It's aggressive. It's destructive, but not too destructive." They leave the Jeep engine running.
