Lorelai turns on her television and flips channels. We hear a honking outside. Lorelai turns off her television and stares at the ceiling.
Time passes. The heating vent in the room sounds very Lynchian again, like a scene from Eraserhead. Lorelai picks up her phone and does "what women do," according to some male writers. She says, "Hey, Luke. It's me. Sigh. I know we're not supposed to be calling, but I am not doing really great right now and...I was just wondering if...Do you remember in The Way We Were..." blah, blah, blah, "He broke up with her and she was really upset and she called him and asked if he would come over and sit with her because he was her best friend and she needed her best friend and he did and...and...they talked all night and...they went out to Hollywood which was a disaster but it was good at first with the boat," blah, blah, blah, (I liked this part better in Broadcast News) "could -- please come over. I -- please. Really need to see you and...and talk to you and...please...come over. Bbb- please. Come..." Click. Classy. Lorelai leaves the room, presumably to throw up...
...but instead runs right over to Luke's, finds the hidden key, runs past Cesar and his sixteen kids all fighting over a piñata, up the stairs to Luke's apartment where she swipes his answering machine tape. (I liked this part better in Friends.)
Rory returns Frank and the limo to Logan, who asks if everything's okay at home. Rory thanks him with a "formal tone." Rory says she even fed Frank, so he's "good to go." Logan says she was a good-luck charm for him, and that he won all his money back and then some. Rory calls him "kiddo." She says she didn't want to hang out with a bunch of people. Logan says she was pretty vague with the whole "hang out" thing. Rory says she wasn't expecting a group. Logan says he wanted to see her. Rory was hoping for something intimate. Logan asks if they can only see each other for sex. Rory says that's not what she meant. Logan says that last night ended up being a group thing, so there's no problem. There's the circular Gilmore logic being put to good use. Logan tells Rory he's going out of town, but he wants to see her when he gets back. Next Saturday. They decide to "hang out," which means "hook up," which, according to my sister is called "talking to" someone. Logan kisses her and thanks her for feeding his driver. He promises not to call her "kiddo" anymore. "There's just so many other things you could call me," Rory says, opening herself up wide to all of our jokes. She leaves.
