But...not as blue as Luke, who has shown up at Lorelai's house as she is leaving for work. She says that she doesn't want to talk right now and tries to get past him. He clearly is not on the same page about their fight -- he quietly apologizes, saying that he's sorry about last night, but that she kind of ambushed him and now that he's had a chance to think about it, he wants to discuss it. Lorelai reminds him that she gave him every chance, and that there's nothing left to discuss. "It's over," she says. "It was over last night and it's over now. It's over." With that, she jumps in the Jeep and leaves him standing there, looking forlorn. Now, how is it that after I was so on the edge of stabbing Luke all last season, I now feel so sorry for him? Oh, yeah. Quit messing with my emotions, non-Palladinos. Do I hate him, or not? Lorelai, in this episode, seems to be running on fumes, like she has no feelings about him OR Chris, other than that they both suck.
At the Dragonfly, Michel and Sookie are having an arm-wrestling match in the kitchen. It amuses me that (1) Michel would ever engage in any activity that might cause him to sweat in his fancy suit; or (2) he thinks he could ever beat Sookie, or anyone -- including Paul Anka -- arm wrestling. She whips his ass, naturally (making an excellent Over The Top joke in the bargain).
