Of course, Kirk is the video store clerk. I love Kirk. I want a Kirk shirt. Lorelai tells Kirk that she's lost her video card. Kirk asks if it was a permanent or a temporary card. It was laminated, so Kirk concludes that it was a permanent card. He gives Lorelai a lecture on responsibility and expectations and video store ethics. The lecture is interrupted by Lorelai's cell phone going off. Lorelai has to go outside to take the call to get better reception. Rory complains that there's a picture of a mostly naked girl on the cover of a video that is in plain view of small children. "Is she a blonde?" Kirk asks. "What?" Rory asks. "I'll go check it out," Kirk says, and leaves. Why didn't Rory just move the box up herself?
Lorelai is outside on her phone. It's Emily calling, whispering and begging for Lorelai to take Richard off her hands for one day. She says she doesn't care where Lorelai takes him; he's just driving her crazy. She says he bought some new swim trunks today to join her water aerobics class: "He's out of control!" Lorelai tells Emily to calm down. Emily says she can't do anything without him being there, following her, staring at her. "Well, he likes you, Mom," Lorelai says. Emily yells at Lorelai to not be cute. Lorelai says she'd like to help her. Emily interrupts by blurting, "You owe me!" She says she pays for Chilton and she co-signed on the loan, so Lorelai owes her big-time. Lorelai tells Emily to listen to herself. Emily apologizes and says that Richard is pushing her close to the edge. She wants one day of peace. Lorelai says she'll take Richard. Emily thanks her. Richard calls from off-screen. Emily says she has to go, but Richard will be over the next morning. As Lorelai hangs up her cell phone with concern, we fade to the first commercial break.
