Lorelai was right to be terrified, because it's a room filled with wedding dresses, and Alex Borstein in some makeup that makes me sad. Alex plays that creepy Miss Celine again, and it's a conflict, because I love Alex and I think she's immensely talented, but it's always weird to have someone in "character" suddenly in this world full of people playing who they are. It's like, is she actually a young person who pretends to be old and everybody just goes along with it because that's what her mother has asked the town to do? Or does nobody know she's actually my age? Or...I know I'm ruining the wonder and fun, but it's weird, right? Why does she have to be so old? She could talk and behave exactly the same way, but be her own age, and it'd be hilarious. Anyway. Old movie talk. Miss Celine calls Lorelai "Natalie Wood" again. As Miss Celine goes on, Emily tries on some dresses. Miss Celine asks Lorelai if she's married yet. Lorelai says she isn't. Emily brags that Lorelai has opened her own inn, which she runs. This rare moment of parental pride doesn't go unnoticed by Lorelai. Miss Celine asks Emily if she's going to need breasts. Emily says she's fine. Emily puts on an ugly dress. Lorelai hands her a new one. Miss Celine says she told Marilyn to wear a flat hat for her wedding to Arthur Miller, since it would remind him of a book: "She didn't, and we all saw how that turned out." Emily puts on another dress. Everybody likes it. Lorelai's busy holding a dress up to herself. Emily goes to try on the Dior, just for giggles.
