Lane goes to her mom's house to talk to Lane 2.0. MamaLane is out helping someone to find her faith. Lane asks Lane 2.0 why she ratted Lane out to her mother after Lane gave Lane 2.0 fries and bonded with her. Lane 2.0 says she had to tell MamaLane about hugging the boy because MamaLane took her in and she can't lie to her because she'll know because she knows everything: "She read the thoughts and hand gestures!" Lane sits Lane 2.0 down and offers to help her. She tells Lane 2.0 that on Sundays, while waiting for MamaLane to get him from her Crochet for Christ meeting, she doesn't have to sit still quietly, but could watch television, undetected, and then just not tell MamaLane about it. Lane 2.0 says there's a machine in the television set that will tell MamaLane what she watched. Lane says this isn't true. It doesn't exist: "Took me fifteen years to figure it out, but that's the truth." She says that MamaLane also can't smell fast food on Lane 2.0 even after she's showered. MamaLane can't tell how many times Lane 2.0 opened her Bible by staring at her palm. Lane 2.0 says she needs to lie down. I said it in the recaplet, but honestly, Mom had me convinced Silly Putty evaporated, because she never wanted to find the stuff in the carpet, so she'd throw it away whenever I left it out. And the day I figured out she didn't really have eyes in the back of her head was a very liberating day. Lane tells Lane 2.0 that it's a whole new world -- one that took her a very long time to figure out, and that she's willing to pass on all the knowledge. Does it sound like all of Lane 2.0's lines have been dubbed in later? Lane 2.0 is very excited to watch television. Lane says she'll be wearing lip gloss within a month.
Lorelai's still on the phone with Emily's staff, asking for one of the Gilmores. She knows that Emily told the staff to pretend not to speak English. Luke is now pouting, evening ruined, listening to T.J. and Liz scream at each other in the bathroom. Luke says they can't still be fighting in such a small room. Lorelai suggests that they're having angry make-up sex. This doesn't make Luke feel any better. He apologizes about dinner. Lorelai says it was great: "It was delicious and interactive." In a move I'll never understand, Luke tells Lorelai to go home so that she doesn't have to deal with this. And again, unbelievably, Lorelai does, leaving him with the meal and the fight to deal with. I guess you need a formal invitation to sleep at Lorelai's. Luke gives her an entire cheesecake and says they'll try again tomorrow. Lorelai says that she'll try stirring something next time, now that she's so good at it. They kiss for a while, and Luke thanks her for not being related to him. They kiss some more, and then Lorelai leaves.
