Independence Inn. Lorelai sits at a table, preparing the welcome folders for the rooms. The phone rings behind her and Michel answers it. Oh, it's Mustang Max. Like a good reservationist, Michel says that Lorelai is busy right now. Max says that he really needs to talk to her. Michel walks towards Lorelai as he asks whether the call is business or personal. Max says, "personal" and Michel throws the phone at Lorelai. Hee. As we hear Max asking whether anyone is still on the phone, Lorelai picks it up. She seems happy to hear his voice. Max asks whether this is a bad time. Judging from the fact that he's calling from the teachers' lounge, I think it's a bad time for him. Lorelai asks what he's wearing. He says, "Nothing." Lorelai says he must be very popular right now. He agrees and says he's also chilly. I really hate recapping the dialogues between Lorelai and Max. Lorelai says she thought they had a "chat date" tonight, a phrase that made me sneer involuntarily. Max says they do, but that he wanted to talk to her about something right now. Lorelai interrupts and asks him to make a gorilla sound. She says she wants to play Wild Kingdom. He says he won't make a gorilla sound. She says that if he does, she'll tell him what color underwear she's wearing. He pauses long enough that Lorelai is pleased that she actually got him thinking about making a gorilla sound. He says that he needs her to be serious for a second. "Says the man with no pants," is Lorelai's reply. Max says that he's been happy with all of their phone conversations over the past two weeks, and he thinks this has all done them a lot of good. So, this means that Rory and CuteDean broke up three weeks ago. The Tristan kiss should have been two weeks ago, so the party was two weeks ago, so last week's episode was one week ago, so two episodes ago was just some sort of Limbo episode involving Richard's mother that was probably supposed to be an earlier episode or something, because it sort of makes no sense at all anymore. Wait. No. It makes sense. The break-up episode and the break-up part two episodes took place the same week. Then the week after was when Rory set up Paris and Tristan and Lorelai I was in town. Then last week's episode would have been one week later when...no. Because the party was where Rory kissed Philllipppe, which would have been before she set him up with Paris, so there's a week overlapping here and what difference does it make? There's only one episode left after this and it's time to get back to CuteDean. Sorry. Mustang Max says that he'd like to have a date this weekend instead of a phone call. He asks to meet Saturday night at the same restaurant. Lorelai says that she thinks it's a good idea. She tells him to wear pants. He says he doesn't make any promises. Lorelai hangs up with a smile.
