By Pamie | Season 1 | Episode 3 | Aired on 10.18.2000
As Lorelai helps the fallen bicycler who hit gravel when Sookie blew across the street, Sookie gushes over the pretty strawberries. Lorelai comes up and says she just never thought she'd raise a kid that would like those kinds of things. Sookie isn't listening too much because she's piling up strawberries. Lorelai asks if she has to put on her strawberry costume to get her to listen. Sookie says she doesn't, but then asks about the strawberry costume. This directs our attention to Jackson, AKA Produce Guy, who has spotted Sookie playing in the strawberries. He storms up to her and says he can't believe she'd sneak behind his back to buy someone else's strawberries. She says she was desperate. He says she disgusts him. They begin running after each other down the street. Sookie screams that she's sorry and that they can work it out. Jackson is too upset to listen. They almost get hit by a car.
The wedding is in full effect. People are smiling and passing champagne. Dancing. Harping. Drella sips a beer in-between strums. Miss Patty shakes her groove thing. Toasts are made. DTM hugs Lorelai and thanks her for everything. DTM says she's incredibly happy because the twins just told her they're going to share a condo in Tucson. "That's hundreds of miles away," she giggles. She runs off, exclaiming that she must dance to Sister Sledge.
Lorelai spots Rory at the register book and sits down beside her. After small talk, Lorelai apologizes. Rory accepts. Lorelai says she's glad that Rory is bonding with her grandparents but that it's weird for her. She says she can't do it, but she's glad Rory is. Lorelai apologizes for cutting Rory off from them when she was growing up and says she never thought Rory would want to be in their lives. They notice a woman across the way pushing her young daughter into a chair, telling her not to run around and play because her dress cost too much money. Lorelai moans that she had so many dresses like that. Rory thanks her for never making her wear a dress like that. Lorelai says the dress has some perks, like the way it flies up when you twirl. She says if you wear frilly panties underneath it's a real crowd pleaser. Rory says, "If it makes you feel better, I think I got a fungus from the steam room." Lorelai smiles and says, "It does. Thank you." Rory tucks her head on Lorelai's shoulder. Lorelai kisses her head.
Wedding guests dance to "We are Family." I got it, I got it. Family = good.
