Later that evening, Rory arrives at a fancy Manhattan restaurant, where she tells the host that she's meeting someone. Logan meets her near the podium, and they veritably skip into each other's arms while doing some more riffing on the whole "captain of industry" thing. Really, they're just stalling while we wait to see exactly how this is about to blow up in Rory's face. Logan leads her to "our table," which turns out to be a table for five. Yes, he brought the team. He introduces his teddibly British associates, Philip, Nick, and Bobby. Except Bobby is actually Bobbi, and she's played by the blonde chick from those Orbit chewing gum commercials. And thus I spend the rest of the episode waiting for her to exclaim, "Fabulous!" Rory is completely and transparently thrown by this development, especially the fact that one of the guys is a hot blonde. Except nobody notices her displeasure, of course, least of all Logan as he asks her to sit down. Still flush from their triumph and therefore thoroughly obnoxious, the four members of the team immediately go back to talking amongst each other, going on boringly about the deal they closed today and Philip's apparently inhuman appetite, while Rory barely keeps from crying. Bobbi, sitting at Rory's right, takes a smidge of pity on her and says that she's heard a lot about Rory from Logan. Rory lies that the reverse is also true, in that completely exaggerated way that people on this show have. Logan's guys (and Bobbi! Fabulous!) order another bottle of champagne and another basket of bread for Philip while Rory pouts to herself. Hey, what's a pity party without champagne?
