Rory walks up holding the paper. "Luke," she says, with surprise. "I gave your mom a ride. We weren't on a date," Luke says. Rory asks if they found out anything. Luke says they haven't yet, but that they should know something soon. Luke asks if Rory's okay. "I don't want him to die," Rory says. Luke says that she should tell Grampa that when she sees him: "People like to hear that." Lorelai walks back out into the lobby, and she and Rory hug. Rory says that it was horrible, and that everything happened so fast. Lorelai says that Grampa should be out of the testing room in a few minutes. Rory asks where Emily is. Lorelai replies, "Kicking some patient out of the room with the good view. I hope they get him unhooked fast -- otherwise he's going without the life-support machine." Now, I'm sorry. This is very hard for me to find endearing. Rory wishes for something she could do instead of just standing there. Lorelai sends her to get some coffee. Rory asks if she can bring Luke some tea. He asks for peppermint. Lorelai leans in to Rory and whispers, "He's going to be fine." "I was just getting to know him," Rory says, breaking my heart in two. Lorelai sends her for coffee.
Lorelai flops down next to Luke, who notes that Rory is being very brave. "God, this sucks," Lorelai says. Luke tells her to think positive, with "rainbows, unicorns." He tries to think of other positive, furry things, and runs out. "Thank God," Lorelai says. Emily walks out the double doors and says that she's secured the room, but that the pillows are completely unacceptable. She's off to find some down pillows and some slippers. A man on a gurney is wheeled by, and Luke raises his head to the ceiling, puts his fist over his mouth, and starts breathing deeply. Lorelai asks if he's okay. He says he's not real big on hospitals, what with the smell and people being sick wheeled all over the place, and all the blood and tubes and stuff. Lorelai says that he could just go home, and comments that he doesn't look good. Luke thanks her for saying that. Lorelai says she didn't mean he doesn't look good, and that he always looks good, but right now he doesn't look so good. He normally looks healthy but right now he doesn't look so healthy. Luke keeps staring at her and smiling. "So, I said you look good. We're not in the fifth grade," Lorelai says. "You look good. Big deal." She leans on her knees as Luke smiles at her. "Stop staring at me," she says. He keeps looking until someone else is wheeled by. Luke stares at the ceiling and covers his mouth again. "See? That's what you get for being cocky," Lorelai says, pointing her finger.
