By Pamie | Season 1 | Episode 20 | Aired on 2001.05.03
Lorelai walks into the house and announces that she's ready for round two. She says she got some Silly String in case things get ugly. She walks around the house, shouting Rory's name. She even shouts, "Answer, please!" which seems to be some sort of code they have. There's nothing. Rory isn't there.
Hey, Richard's back. Emily is dressing him in a tux while he complains about this fundraiser gathering Emily's dragging him to this evening. It's to save a rare bird. Richard is tired of these fundraisers. He doesn't want to be bored out of his skull for four hours tonight by the same people he's going to be bored out of his skull by at tomorrow's symphony fundraiser. Emily reminds him to get his other tux from the cleaner tomorrow. Richard says that he plans on killing himself tonight during the opening of Katie Salinger's speech. Emily says that Katie Salinger is a dear friend and that he should be nice to her. Richard turns around and declares Katie Salinger a "dipsomaniac." There was a great moment here in my living room where everyone pretended we knew what that word meant, but then looked around to figure out who probably really knew what the word meant and then everyone confessed they had no idea. According to dictionary.com: "someone who has a morbid and uncontrollable craving (often periodic) for drink, esp. for alcoholic liquors; also improperly used to denote acute and chronic alcoholism." You learn something new every day. How, in my vast group of drunken friends, have we never heard of this word before? Richard says that he's going to bring his newspaper to the event. While Emily complains, the doorbell sounds. Emily answers the door. It's Rory. There's a taxi behind her. "Hey, Gramma," Rory says, as we fade to black.
