So, I guess it's supposed to be later on Friday night, because Lorelai and Rory are still wearing the same outfits, but now they're sitting at their kitchen table. Lorelai is sorting through a page of Post-It notes while Rory is highlighting her day planner with different-colored pens. Lorelai reads off her Saturday morning: hair, nails, and Jim -- the garbage disposal guy. Lorelai can't figure out the last thing on her list: "Rusha Plemishem." Rory tells Lorelai to get an electronic system, something that doesn't rely on pages of hand-scribbled notes. I don't listen to the next couple of lines because my friend's name appears on the screen. Yay, Todd Lowe. Then I don't hear the next couple because the name Daniel Palladino flashes on the screen, and that always makes me nervous. Anyway, Rory and Lorelai say they're too busy lately and that they should run away together. Lorelai asks Rory what her day tomorrow looks like. Rory says she'll be hanging out with Jess for most of the day and then studying at night. Lorelai says she has a dinner date with Alex tomorrow night. Rory says that'll be great because it'll be nice and quiet for when she studies. "I'm that loud?" Lorelai asks, incredulous. Rory: "You are when you dance around singing 'Rory's Studying' songs." Lorelai asks Rory for a Post-It translation: "Slatha Bang Tracking?" Rory tells her it means that Lane's band is practicing. Lorelai asks for further translation: "Net fracks?" It's "get snacks." For the band. Lorelai celebrates her perfect system. She asks Rory if she's really bringing Jess to dinner next Friday. Rory thinks it'll be better, since there will only be one grandparent to contend with. At this point, Lorelai pours herself a cup of coffee. What time is it that she's got almost a full pot of coffee? That reminds me: it's time for my fourth cup of coffee. It is noon, after all. Lorelai admires Emily's guilt routine in a recap of the opening scene, in case you didn't tune in until after the credits. Rory asks if they're hanging out on Sunday. Lorelai says that Rory's written into her schedule. "Cokie," she reads. Rory says it's still pretty early, and asks if Lorelai wants to watch some of the supplementary stuff on the Lord of the Rings DVD. Lorelai says it's just drawings and "that fat guy" talking. Rory suggests they watch Footloose again. Lorelai agrees, grabs her things, and heads towards the living room. Rory points out that Lorelai dropped some of her notes. Lorelai says it doesn't matter since you can't read them anyway. And...scene.
