Episode Report Card Pamie: B- | 0 USERS: N/A YOU GRADE IT Speak Now and Forever, Forget the Peace

CuteDean's cell phone rings. Maybe you should put that on vibrate before the sacred ceremony starts? I don't understand these people. Anyway, it's Paris on the phone. She's trapped back in time to when people were still at Chilton adding up the votes, because I know a roomful of students and teachers didn't come to school on a Sunday morning, and even if they did, why would Paris come to Chilton in her uniform on a Sunday when none of those other kids are wearing uniforms? Why am I trying to make logic out of this? ["To be fair, she wasn't in her uniform -- just a dorky non-uniform blazer." -- Wing Chun] Paris tells CuteDean she needs to talk to Rory. Paris tells Rory that they got the band's votes, so they're surely going to win now. Band was the wild card. She says she didn't know if they'd get it because if there was anybody that'd be scared of her it'd be "some artsy loser with a tuba wrapped around his head." Heh. Rory asks how Paris got CuteDean's cell phone number. Paris: "Relax, I won't call you on Prince William's precious phone again." She just wanted to celebrate their victory. Rory hands CuteDean his phone and says she thinks she won the election. CuteDean's instantly all, "Well, there goes our summer." Rory says that nothing has been decided yet, and that she'll figure it out later. Lorelai walks over and gives Rory a hug. I guess nobody's helping Sookie out. Lorelai shows off the booze she's slugging, bragging that it's the best thing about being a grown-up. People! The ceremony hasn't even started yet! How was I to know that the wedding didn't already happen? I would have had no idea except that I've already seen the end of this episode. Lorelai tells CuteDean that he cleans up nicely. She says they'll have to hide him from Miss Patty and Babette. Rory says she already told him. Lorelai excuses herself.
Rory and CuteDean walk away as Lorelai and Christopher meet up on the stairs just a few feet away. They start making out right there. Classy. Christopher asks if Lorelai feels sorry or bad about last night. She says she didn't, so they agree to have more sex soon. Lorelai wiggles out of Christopher's grip as Emily and Richard walk up. Lorelai is surprised that they showed up. See, here I guess the wedding hasn't started yet. Where's their present? Richard says it's a pleasant surprise to see Christopher. Emily says that the invitation was rude, but that it would have been as rude not to accept the invitation when they could have gone. "That's called rising above it," Emily says. Lorelai asks if Emily wants to come back down long enough to get a drink. Emily says she would. Richard and Christopher leave to get the champagne for the ladies. Richard's looking to see what kind of scotch they're serving. Um, when is the wedding starting? It's already open bar? I can't stop thinking about this. Christopher tells Lorelai she still has to answer his question on how soon she wants to have more sex. Emily pulls Lorelai by the arm and asks what's going on with Christopher. For some reason, Lorelai boasts and gloats that she's back together with Christopher, and this time everything's going to be just perfect and happy and wonderful. For some other reason that makes absolutely no sense, Emily is happy for Lorelai. The scene is cut off by Kirk's rendition of "Walking After Midnight," trying to pull my focus away from how senseless this entire thing is. Poor Lane has to tap on the piano with her drumsticks. Where's MamaLane? Everyone's drunk and the wedding hasn't happened yet!
