Sookie and Lorelai briefly argue about who gets to go talk to Michel about tablecloths, and then Sookie skips out of there. Lorelai grabs Shel's hand and drags him over to Luke, where she curls herself around Luke's body and introduces him as her Luke. Her "special friend." Lorelai grunts a bit as she moves Luke's G.I. Joe-stiff arm around her waist. She coos to Luke, saying she couldn't have gotten through this without him, and then thanks him. I can't believe the WB promo department didn't pounce on this scene and use it for fifty misleading commercials all season. Shel excuses himself and leaves. Lorelai immediately tells Luke not to touch her stomach. "You put my hand there," he says. Lorelai can't believe Sookie tried to set her up with Shel the poultry guy when she just broke up with someone. Lorelai thinks she's breaking news to Luke that she was dating someone, but Luke figured she had someone, since she was never dressed weather-appropriately. Hee. Lorelai tells Luke about the cats and how she's destined to be alone. Luke says she's not alone; she has Shel. Lorelai asks why it's so hard. Luke says he's probably not the right person to ask.

You can demo the walls around your heart. That's what I want you to do. I want you to take down...the wall around your heart. You can't fish with a cucumber and you can't love with a pencil. But make sure you have a pencil with Dr. Phil's lumber because as we say around here at Home Depot: In life you measure twice, cut once, okay?" ["First you dis oatmeal, then Dr. Phil. It's like you're trying to hurt me." -- Wing Chun] Luke tells Lorelai that the place is great. Lorelai asks Luke again if he thinks she can do this. Luke says he's already told her many times that she can. Lorelai says he's making her long for Shel. Luke says she was never one for chicken. And then the scene's kind of over, but not so we hear Asher Fleming teaching his class and then we're--
