Later, while trying to decide whether or not to watch Hitch or The Lake House on their motel television, Rory unpacks her dress for the wedding. It's wrinkled, and Lorelai suggests that she hang it in the shower to smooth it out with the steam (never works) "as soon as Mom gets done shellacking her face." Emily emerges, saying that she needed to freshen up there, since she couldn't very well arrive at a fancy resort smelling like bad shellfish and "covered with the grime of the road." Lorelai pshaws: "'The road.' Who are you, Willie Nelson?" The phone rings -- it's Mia calling to check on them. When she overhears Rory talking to Emily in the background, Mia insists that Emily come to the wedding, too. Lorelai tries to avoid this nightmare, but Rory interferes, and accepts on Emily's behalf. Emily, naturally, pretends to be mortified at the thought of attending. "Of course I didn't bring a thing to wear to a wedding," she says, snitting out to her resort. "Luckily, they're going bohemian, so it won't really matter." When she's gone, Lorelai throws up her hands in frustration, but Rory says that it will be a good thing -- a chance for more bonding. "The only good thing," Lorelai says, "is that Mom's is going to get to the resort still smelling like bad lobster, 'cause I left my doggie bag in her car." Revenge of the shellfish!
