It's 4 at Yale, which means nothing for the rest of the world, and Rory is waiting in her dormitory's vestibule, but not exactly in her vestibule, according to definition #2 of the hyperdictionary. I'll bet Rory has never even seen her vestibule. Logan grabs her arm and pulls.
Rory's placed in a car with Finn, Colin, and the blonde gorilla girl. Rory recognizes their voices as they chatter along in their annoying way. Rory puts on her seatbelt, but Logan doesn't. Finn complains about leaving while the sun is still up. He hates the sun: "It's too bright." They're keeping Rory blindfolded so that she doesn't know where they're taking her. She asks why they're not wearing their gorilla masks. "She can see!" says Colin. Rory says she can tell that their voices aren't muffled. "She's sharp," says Gorilla Girl. "Who's the girl?" Rory asks. "I've been told we've met," GG says. "Oh, Gorilla Girl," Rory says. GG: "Oh, wow. Isn't that a pretty nickname?" Logan tells Rory that "this thing" is overnight. Rory says it doesn't mess up her schedule. Logan's impressed with her loose schedule. Finn says that they like their schedules loose, like their women. "Clever," Colin says. "My God, it's early," Finn complains. Are they supposed to be charming? I really can't tell if we're supposed to like them.
Luke's. He gets a phone call from Richard's assistant, who puts him through to Richard, who asks to meet for a round of golf the next afternoon. Luke answers, "Well?" That's enough for Richard, who says Margie will call Luke back to set a time. Oh, the strummy-strummy-la-la kicks in and I have to take a drink.
It's dark, and Rory's kidnapping van has pulled into some remote area. That means that Margie works pretty late for Richard. We learn Gorilla Girl's name: Stephanie. She's sent to make sure Finn doesn't run off a cliff, since he's very excited to have reached their destination. Stephanie grabs a lantern and runs off. Logan pulls Rory out of the car. "You okay?" he asks her. "I smell trees," Rory says. Man, she's really good at being an investigator.
Walking through the forest, Rory asks if the firing squad is just ahead. Logan: "Yep, and there's a line. Damn." Rory asks if she has to Patty Hearst it the entire time. Logan tells her that the blindfold is coming off right now. He pulls off the blindfold, and Rory sees that she's been transported into an old-fashioned white tent safari party. What? I don't know what they're called, okay? Rory is much more impressed than I would be. "Oh, my," she says. I'd be all, "You guys got wireless?"
