Aw, man. Not one shout-out in the entire address. Rory's address makes even less sense ("Rory Gilmore/ 1765 Harring/ Washington D.C. / 2005"). Rory piles up the letters and moves them out of the way. She sits before a clean sheet of notebook paper. "Dear Jess," the letter has begun. Heartbreaker! Harlot! Jezebel! The music stops. Paris tumbles in her sleep again, this time with the not-funny-enough- for-the-capper "I did not have sexual relations with that woman." The music starts back up again as Rory frets over her two-timing letter.
Opening credits. For those of you keeping score, CuteDean's listed in the credits before Jess. Maybe it's because Padaleckekili comes before Ventimailighangahila, but whatever. Kirk's in the credits now. Way to go, Kirk!
The kitchen at Sookie's house. The chalkboard behind them still reads "Congrats...Sookie and Jackson" from the engagement party, I think. Lorelai can't believe she's eating Kosher bacon. "I am so Jewish," she says. Jackson's about to enter the kitchen, so Sookie feverishly warns him that Lorelai is there. Lorelai covers her face with her napkin. Jackson enters, fully dressed, and says there was only that one time he accidentally came down naked. "Well, once was enough," Lorelai says. Sookie asks Jackson to look through a few color samples for the paint she's going to buy. Sookie says they're painting the house. Jackson says that they aren't. "The whole house?" Lorelai asks. "Just the inside," Sookie grins. Jackson says that they aren't going to do it. Lorelai says that she and Rory will help paint. Jackson tells Lorelai that if she's going to come over every day, she has to listen to both of them. ("Written and directed by Amy Sherman-Palladino.") Sookie says that this used to be her house, but now it's their house, so she wants it to feel like it's their house. Jackson says he's happy with it now. Sookie asks how he could possibly like it, since there are flowers everywhere. Jackson says he likes flowers, since he's a produce guy. "The curtains are ruffly," Sookie says. "I like ruffles!" Jackson argues. "How can you like ruffles?" Sookie wonders. "Because I'm very, very gay," Jackson answers. Sookie scolds him as Jackson leans in for a kiss goodbye. Lorelai eats Sookie's bacon ("Dirty!") as Sookie makes her pick out paint samples. Lorelai reminds Sookie that Jackson's fine with the house the way it is. Sookie says he might not resent her décor now, but that he will later, and then he'll resent the house, and her by extension, and she's trying to avoid all of that, once she "butch[es] the place up a little." Lorelai says she's got to go, but she's very thankful for the breakfast and the bacon. She notes that bacon is very manly, and suggests that perhaps Sookie could just nail slabs of bacon on the walls. The smell of rotting meat? Very manly. Sookie tells her goodbye. "Okay, but if you're still thinking paint, you're still thinking like a chick!" Lorelai says as she dons her floppy hat.
