Among the papers, Emily finds a carbon copy of a letter Gran wrote to Richard. She reads it out loud. It plainly asks Richard not to marry Emily, who isn't Gilmore material, and to consider Pennilyn Lott again. Gran tells Richard that he's making a terrible mistake, and that even though this is the eve of his wedding, she's begging him to not marry Emily. Lorelai can't believe Gran wanted Richard to leave Emily at the altar. Emily: "She begged him to leave me at the altar! She begged him in writing and then she saved the carbon!" Emily is in shock. She's standing in Gran's basement, covered in dust, organizing Gran's estate, cataloging her things, taking hundreds of phone calls to make sure everything is the way she wanted it, and all this time Gran never wanted Emily in the family. Emily declares that she's over Trix, and over all this nonsense. She's no longer handling the funeral arrangements. That woman is officially dead to her. Lorelai looks terrified, mostly because she knows she's in charge of a funeral now. She reminds Emily about Richard, but Emily says that Richard skipped Emily's best friend's funeral to play golf. Emily says they should either toss Gran in a box and be done with her, or toss her in a ditch and let a wolverine eat her. Lorelai says finding a wolverine near a ditch will take lots of planning. Emily tells Lorelai to do whatever she wants, since Emily's going to have a drink. Emily leaves as Lorelai whines that she doesn't know the system.
