Inside Luke's, Liz gives her brother a quick description of her ceremony, which will be held in the town square. But that's exactly when Taylor's planned the 45th annual Stained Glass and Jam Festival! Rory's coming home from Yale and everything! Liz tells Luke he won't have to do anything for the wedding. Luke grumbles that he's sure that's untrue. Liz promises that everything's already taken care of. Carrie's going to be Liz's maid of honor. Luke asks whether Jess knows about the wedding. Liz says he does, and that he's not planning on attending the wedding because he's an asshole. Liz says it's no biggie. She's glad her brother's there. Luke promises that he'll attend the wedding dressed as a court jester. Liz pats him on the cheek and says, "You're a good brother." She asks for a slice of his crappy peach pie.
Rory comes home to find Lorelai with pizza, Chinese food, and chips. Rory has provided the Nutter Butters. If you added together the cost of take-out on that table, combined with the price of Lorelai's shirt and designer jeans, plus Rory's outfit, this moment of Gilmore must have cost about $600. Wait. I just saw Rory's leather bag. $1000. Shit. There are Sloppy Joes on that table, too. $1008. The girls discuss how Emily cancelled this Friday-night dinner. I love how the girls are celebrating Richard and Emily's separation by pigging out and ignoring the destruction of their family and financial umbrella. Also: didn't Gran have some kind of billions of dollars that should be raining Benjamins down on the girls by now? Lorelai thinks that Richard and Emily would be humiliated if they knew that the girls knew that they weren't living together, so they're not going to say anything for now. Yeah, that plan worked out swell with Digger. Rory asks how many tapes they're watching tonight. Lorelai explains that every time she started watching something that she thought Rory would like, she stopped watching it. Therefore she's watched ten minutes each of twelve movies. First they're watching Fatso, written and directed by Anne Bancroft. Now I kind of want to see it. If it's anything like the glory of Grey Gardens, it won't disappoint for a second. Lorelai puts in the movie as Rory asks how the inn is coming along. Lorelai says that everybody's got a million things going on but quickly moves on to the juicy gossip of CuteDean and Lindsay headed the way of the Bennifer. Rory and Lorelai have the same attitude toward CuteDean and Lindsay as they have for Richard and Emily, which is to say: forget about them and hit "play."
