The QT party is playing the most annoying song from any soundtrack, Kill Bill or no. I have now asked two QT fans who the ladies in sequins and gloves are supposed to be. They both guessed, "I don't know. Something from Jackie Brown?" ["I think your Blue Velvet guess was probably right." -- Wing Chun] Robert and Rory are standing at a table, where Robert is explaining his entire life goal: to outlive his brother, inherit the entire family fortune, put all his sisters out on the street, live as frivolously as possible, have numerous wives and thousands of children, die completely alone, and leave every cent to a parrot named Moe. Well, I do believe this date is over. Colin comes by, looking for another girl to mack on, complaining that their incestuous parties never make for good fresh meat. Finn asks, "Who's as drunk as I am?" Colin: "No one, since Spencer Tracy died." Mad props to the guy in the background dressed as Chris Penn at the end of True Romance. Finn asks Rory if he's met her yet. "Several times," she answers. He leaves.
Robert goes to fetch Rory a drink that isn't too strong. This allows Logan to swoop in and ask how her date's going. They make small talk about Robert. "Teenage Wedding" plays in the background. Rory's enjoying Logan's jealousy. Logan tells Rory that Robert is "kind of a jerk." No kidding. Rory says she hadn't noticed. Logan grabs Rory's arm and pulls her to a place where he feels more comfortable making out -- another wall that's kind of in a corner but not really. He tells her she looks great. They kiss, and Rory pulls away, looking for Robert. Logan asks how school is. "School's hard," Rory says, with a little catch in her throat. That's what happens when you hang out with people who don't actually have to go to college to be wealthy and successful in life. Logan says it'll make her an upstanding citizen. "God-fearing Christian," Rory adds. More kissing. Logan wants to ditch all of this because he hates that Rory's here with someone else. He wants her to leave with him, go anywhere. Even go to New York for the evening (Jess flashback!), just get out of that party and away from her date. But Rory, surprisingly, does the right thing here, and decides she'll leave with the man she came with. Finn's Vega has found his Mia, and they (impressively) dance us out of the scene.
