Emily enters the diner, and Lorelai makes a noise because she hates her mother. She tells Luke to go and hide. Emily asks Lorelai when she started working here. Lorelai says she's just helping out. How did Emily know to find her here, anyway? Emily says she went by the Inn to help Sookie with the wedding, and Sookie fired her. Lorelai says that she didn't fire her. Emily says that Sookie changed her mind on all the things they planned. She says she knows who is behind this. Lorelai says it was getting to be too much for Sookie and way too much for Jackson. She says they're not wealthy. They're saving for a home and the midgets were dancing between them and their dreams. "You say 'midgets' like it's so absurd," Emily says. Lorelai asks Emily if she can hear herself. Emily says there was nothing wrong in helping Sookie plan the wedding. Lorelai says she knows that Emily was really planning Lorelai's wedding. My, how self-involved she is. You already had a wedding, Lorelai, and Emily didn't offer to help plan it at all because you barely told her about it. There's nobody in the restaurant. Lorelai says she knows she's the one really wearing the Haute Couture wedding dress in Emily's head. Emily says she wasn't planning Lorelai's wedding. She did stuff that sounded like Sookie. She gave up on the dream of planning Lorelai's wedding a very long time ago. She tells Lorelai that she was going to do a Russian Winter theme: the Romanovs. Lorelai asks if the wedding was going to be before a firing squad. Emily says it'd be snowing, with white lights and candles, and Lorelai would enter on a horse-drawn carriage. Lorelai complains that it's nothing like who she is. Emily says it would have been beautiful. She says she knows she's probably standing in Lorelai's future reception hall. There will be burgers and fries at the dinner, and Lorelai will walk down the aisle holding a ketchup dispenser. Lorelai plays the innocent, and Emily tells her again that she obviously has a thing for Luke. Lorelai says she doesn't. Emily points out that Lorelai drops everything for Luke all the time. She's with him constantly and talks about him all the time. Lorelai says they're friends, and that she had to be there. "Yes, I know you did," Emily says. Luke enters for an awkward, knowing "hello" from Emily. She says she has to go, and watches Lorelai stand beside Luke. She says she'll see Lorelai at dinner tonight. I guess it's Friday now. Wasn't the funeral supposed to be on a Thursday? Emily tells Luke she's sure she'll see him again. She asks how he feels about the Romanovs. Luke says he figures they had it coming. "Match made in Heaven," Emily says as she leaves. Lorelai smiles at Luke.
