Lorelai walks into her house. She checks her messages. There's one from Luke. He's in jail and needs her to pick him up. Lorelai's mouth drops. She grabs her coat as Luke says he needs her to loan him money for his bail. Lorelai runs out of the house. She may find Digger tiresome, but there's nothing she won't drop for Luke, key or no.
Florida motel. Fraulein, Louisa, Rory, and Paris are sitting at a table getting drunk. Rory tells Paris that she could never date Paris, because she's too high-maintenance. Louisa and Fraulein say that the entire place was buzzing about the kiss, and that even the twins were jealous. Maybe the kiss was supposed to be bigger, or on a dare originally, like, with people watching? Because right now I don't understand the hubbub. Fraulein leaves for more booze. Louisa asks Paris about her love life. Paris gushes a bit about Asher. Fraulein brings back cups of booze, saying she made their drinks a little stronger this time. Rory says that it'll be great to watch the cups dissolve. Paris admits she's a little disappointed that Asher didn't invite her to go to Denver with him for the conference. She wonders if he's planning to dump her. ["No -- just to cheat on her, probably with his wife." -- Wing Chun] Louisa says he isn't as long as he's still buying her jewelry. "He's never bought me jewelry," Paris says. "Asher doesn't have a lot of money." Tenured, esteemed professor at Yale? Okay. Fraulein and Louisa don't understand why Paris would date an older man if he wasn't rich. Rory says that Asher just wants Paris to have fun, which means he cares about her. Then Rory acts drunk, which is painful to watch, as she giggles that there are two of Paris. Paris giggles back and does a lot of heavy sighing, but I saw Whatever, so I know this girl can normally act and this must be a special kind of WB form of acting drunk. Louisa asks Rory about CuteDean. They ask if he's still gorgeous. Rory says he still is, but that he's also married to a pretty, tall, leggy blonde. Louisa offers a prediction. Fraulein tells us that Louisa is recently psychic. Louisa declares that CuteDean's marriage won't make it. "Two married nineteen-year-olds," Paris says. "Boy, that's a risky bet." Louisa says that CuteDean isn't over Rory yet. Rory says that they are still friends, but that it's all over. Fraulein finds CuteDean's number in Rory's cell phone. They then drunk-dial CuteDean, handing the phone to Rory right as the voicemail picks up. Rory stammers and giggles her way through a rather tasteful message, all things considered. There's no "And that's what they call closure" moment or anything. AB Chao take note: sometimes you can drunk-dial someone without having to end with the words, "Fuck you, Pam." Rory shrieks that she's going to kill Louisa and Fraulein, but first she's going to go get some air because she's way too drunk.
