MamaLane hits the door. "Incoming!" Lane shouts. Rory grabs the makeup and falls to the ground. MamaLane enters and asks what's going on. "I fell off my chair!" Rory warbles like a kitten. "Oh," MamaLane says. "Well, don't." Hee. MamaLane says that the bride looks beautiful, and that she must have gotten a good night's sleep. She leaves, and Lane replaces the footstool. Lane and Rory then play a reminiscing game about people we don't know, about past Korean weddings that have taken place here over the years. There have been forty-six of them. Rory asks about one of them who married a mean guy, and Lane explains that the bride put up with him for seven years -- seven years of him ordering her around and calling her stupid. Then one day she snapped and attacked him with a carrot peeler. She started peeling until the cops showed up. The man didn't press charges, but now he cooks his own meals, sleeps in another room, and keeps a cutting board by his bed for protection. ISN'T THAT A GREAT STORY?! ISN'T THAT A HAPPY ENDING?! Stay with the abusers, girls. It's so a-peeling. Lane then says that everybody stays married, and that it's like a factory system. We watch the silent bride get awkwardly made up and assume she's going to say something, but she doesn't. Maybe it'll be a later episode. They must totally be setting up for Lane's arranged marriage. I bet that's what all of this is about. Lane says that this will be the last wedding for a while, since all of her cousins are married now. Rory says there's been at least two weddings a year since elementary school, when Lane and Rory met. Then they say it again, that they met in elementary school. Rory says that maybe Lane's wedding will be next. Lane tells her to bite her tongue. Oh, she's totally getting an arranged marriage. Lane decides to put eye shadow on the bride. Rory sits for a second and then says, "Peeled to death. That's a bad way to go." What? Nobody got peeled to death. And what? Huh? Scene!
Luke's. Jess works. Luke wanders to the window, carrying a cheeseburger. He sees the lady lawyer outside, talking to Taylor. Luke waves at her. She waves back. Taylor waves back. Luke grimaces, waves and turns away. He goes outside.
Taylor leaves the lawyer lady. Lahey is her last name. ["Also the last name of the woman who wrote the episode." -- Wing Chun] They make small talk. Really small talk. Babble talk about the coffee that Luke got her for free and blah blah blah until Luke asks her out on a date because he can now that Lorelai has a date. Lahey made Luke work for it, too. She just stood there watching him stammer and mumble, waiting for him to ask her out, playing dumb. But she says she'll go out with him. He says he'll call her this week and they'll "make that happen." Luke walks away and we watch her stand there.
