Luke comes over now, and asks if they can walk and talk for a minute. He apologizes again for how she found out and said he didn't know how to tell her. Lorelai, for whatever reason, is understanding. "Luckily," Lorelai says, "you're with a woman who has raised a daughter. I can help." Now, here is where he should drop to the ground and flagellate himself, swearing that he is unworthy of her forgiveness. I mean, is a little flagellation too much to ask? This was a big fucking deal, right? Instead, he breaths an audible "whew," saying he's been really overwhelmed with everything, including June 3rd. He says it's all happening too fast. Lorelai says they can postpone if he wants, and instead of being a grown man and saying he can handle anything, he again looks relieved and says yeah, he wants to postpone, that that will really help. Lorelai looks shocked and hurt that he is so up for the postponement. I want her to kick him in the nuts, but she doesn't, which makes me twice as mad. They awkwardly kiss and agree to meet later at his place, after which she walks away, sad and worried.
