Rory walks through the town square to the one pay phone still in existence in America. Adultery: A World Without Cell Phones. She calls someone and asks to meet.
Miss Patty's. Someone knocks. Rory stands and announces, "Come in!" CuteDean enters. "Hey," he says. "Hey," she says back. "I'm glad you called," he says. "Me too," she says. CuteDean asks if everything's okay at home. Rory lies that it is. Lying's getting easier for her, isn't it? CuteDean takes Rory's hands in his. He's a little breathless. He tells her he likes her shorter hair. Rory says it's grown out a little. "I like it," he says. "I like it, too," she says. They kiss. "So, uh," CuteDean says. "You wanted to talk?" "Yeah, talk," Rory says. "Words. Love." They do lots of kissing, and Rory seems not to hate it this time. I know it's gross, but Miss Patty would be so proud of Rory right now. Remember not to fall asleep this time, guys.
"You what?" Lane asks, incredulously. "I slept with Dean in my room last night in my bed," Rory says for those of you just tuning in. Rory's surprised that Dean can even fit in her bed, since he's tall and her bed's small and he's tall, not small. Lane says she didn't even know they were back together. Rory says they weren't, but she guesses they are now. No, I'm guessing you're not, since he's together with his wife, and you're at Lane's, alone. Lane has on her wall the shag rug that Stee wants to buy for our home. I think this rug would be the worst choice ever for a home that has three cats prone to puking. Lane has found the solution: put it on a wall. Rory tells Lane that Lorelai came home and saw everything, but not everything. Lane freaks out, picturing it in her head. My friend Todd Lowe calls from the other room. Lane shouts that she's busy. Rory tells Lane that she had a fight with Lorelai, so she called CuteDean to have a talk. Why does it sound like there's a playground in Lane's bedroom? There are cars and motorcycles and children playing. Rory confesses that her talk with Dean became sex in Miss Patty's studio. Lane is so smitten with Rory's affair. Lane tells Rory that Miss Patty would be so proud. Hey! I just told that joke, Lane! MfTL calls Lane again. Lane asks Rory, "How was it?" Rory asks Lane why she's whispering. Lane says that no matter where she is, she's pretty sure MamaLane can hear this conversation. Lane has a picture of Angry Little Asian Girl on her wall, a picture AB Chao bought me in t-shirt form. Lane asks Rory if CuteDean was nice to her. Rory says he was, and that they love each other.
