After a few words about Lorelai's energy, CuteDean asks what's behind the closed door. Rory says it's her bedroom. CuteDean lets himself in to check it out. He says it's clean. Rory stays in the doorway entrance. CuteDean walks right over to the Nick Drake CD on her stereo (I'm sure just casually placed there) and says that it sucks that "Pink Moon" was used in a Volkswagen commercial. Rory says, "Oh, I know," but looks like, "I hope we don't keep talking about this, since I just borrowed the CD from Lane." CuteDean asks if Rory's going to come into the room. She says that she's actually enjoying the view of her room from the doorway. She doesn't do that often. He asks if he should leave. She says she doesn't mind him looking around. He holds up a stuffed chicken. "Nice chicken." She says she's changed her mind about him looking around.
Sookie is at the door with dessert. Lorelai tells her she'll have to leave, or Rory will freak if she thinks Lorelai's invited the entire neighborhood over to check out CuteDean. Sookie just wants to look for a second. Lorelai again tells Sookie that she has to go right when the pizza guy arrives. There's this strange line exchange between Lorelai and the Pizza Guy ("How're you doing?" "Awesome!") that makes me think Pizza Guy is a friend of someone on the show. Sookie keeps stalling by asking about the pizza until Lorelai shoves her out the door. Rory walks up and asks about the pizza. Lorelai is just holding the dessert. Sookie shows up at the door. "Pizza!" She walks in and introduces herself to CuteDean. She accidentally says his name. She stammers on about how she didn't know that he was a Dean but that he looks like a Dean. Rory is clearly mortified. Sookie hands over the pizza and leaves. CuteDean takes the pizza into the living room. Lorelai says she didn't invite Sookie. Rory leans in and whispers, "Why don't you just set up a web camera and broadcast it all over the Internet?" "Because I don't think that big!" Lorelai squints back. Rory runs off.
CuteDean is opening the pizza, saying that he's happy with their choice. They all begin eating.
Pizza fade to show time passing. The three are on the floor. Lorelai asks who needs more pizza. Rory says she does. "Wow. You can eat," CuteDean says inappropriately. "Yes, I can," Rory smiles back.
