At the giant dinner table, Lorelai takes a picture of all of her guests. She then announces the Bracebridge Dinner. Sookie immediately runs in and says she needs a quick second. Lorelai stalls. Bootsy says something I won't recap. Miss Patty asks Lorelai who the Will Ferrell doppelganger is over by the serving tray. Lorelai points out that he's Claude and divorced. I can't believe Paris is sitting next to Miss Patty after being so rude to her just a couple of weeks ago. I'd imagine she and Cardigan Man would be talking up a storm by now. Lorelai promises to have Claude bathed, powdered, and sent to Miss Patty's room. Miss Patty is overjoyed and then depressed that it was just a joke.
Richard tells Lorelai that everything is wonderful and beautiful and that she should be proud. "Thanks, Dad," Lorelai beams. Emily tells Lorelai that her dress needs pressing. "Thanks, Mom," Lorelai says, in the same tone of voice.
Lorelai sits next to Rory and tells her, "Your pod grandfather is still happy as a clam." Rory says she knew this dinner would be good for him.
Rune announces the "sprightly horns." Several horns play. Jess, Michel, and I all roll our eyes. Rune tells "Chuck Mangione" to "back up a step." Lorelai smiles to Rory and says, "And we're off!" Rune announces the Squire. The horns play again as Jackson walks up in a horrible wig. Suddenly, Stars Hollow is doing some bad dinner theater. The first course is brought out and Jackson announces it's butternut squash soup. Rune and Jackson do some banter that stalls the episode.
