Lorelai walks into the house to find Rory on the phone in the kitchen. Lorelai stands behind Rory and whines, "Justin, he's so dreamy! He just can't marry Britney, I'll just cry and cry and cry!" Rory hangs up the phone and says the pizza is on the way. Lorelai smiles, "You're such a good provider." Rory goes off to do her homework as the phone rings. It's Emily. She asks Lorelai if she can go shopping with her tomorrow to pick out a birthday present for Rory. She says she wants to get Rory something special, something she'll like: "Something you'd get for her." "Okay, fine," Lorelai says, "Then you can get her the bong." Emily says she's serious. She hardly gets to know Rory at all because every week they just chit-chat about school and friends. Lorelai says she'll go with her then. They make plans to meet at three the next day. "And dress app--" Emily starts, before Lorelai tells her not to finish that sentence.
Chilton. Rory opens her locker as Ryan Phillllipppe leans in and wishes her a happy birthday. She says it's not her birthday. He says that, on Friday, it will be. She asks how he knows that. Choppy sentences. As boring to watch as they are to read here. He pulls out an invitation and begins reading. What he reads isn't on the invitation we're shown. Philllipppe starts with "On Friday..." but the invite says, "On the morning of October eighth at four-o-three in the morning Emily and Richard Gilmore were blessed with a perfect baby granddaughter Lorelai Leigh. Please join us this Friday to celebrate this joyous occasion. Seven o'clock. Black tie optional." Rock on with my pause button skillz. I guess everyone knows where they live. ["Maybe it was on the RSVP card." -- Wing Chun] Rory asks how many people got one of these invitations. Philllipppe guesses that most of the kids in the class probably did. The opening strains to that "Happy Birthday" song from Sixteen Candles starts playing. You know, when Molly Ringwald is taking the sex test? Rory is horrified and walks away. He shouts that he'll see her Friday. As Rory walks down the hall she sees the other kids whispering and staring at her, complaining that their parents are forcing them to go to her party.
