Lorelai and Rory spend the commercials on the flight up and meet Emily at the top. Emily asks what they're doing there, and the girls spend some time stammering out a combination of lies and nonsense sounds until Lorelai confesses that they're playing hooky. Emily asks where their bags are, and Lorelai tells her they were window-shopping. Emily doesn't see the fun in that; Rory agrees. Emily tells the girls to follow her. Lorelai says they were just leaving. Emily says they're not leaving. Rory says that Emily is very aggressive today. Lorelai thinks the passive side of Emily must be playing hooky. They follow Emily through the mall.
As Lane unpacks, she realizes they don't have a single thing for the kitchen. They do, however, have three stereos, as mfTL points out as a reason for manhandling Brian's stereo. MfTL then chides Brian that his Futurama action figures taking up the precious shelf space. As an employee of a rabid Groening fan, I must abstain from any jokes concerning this pop-culture reference. ["Good move." -- Wing Chun] Lane is freaking out because her new place has no forks, no curtains, and no refrigerator. I, too, was baffled by that when I first moved to Los Angeles. Why wouldn't a place you rent have a refrigerator? I really don't get it still. Brian plugs in his night light. mfTL says that there's no way the Sex Pistols had a night light when they roomed together. They did; it was the end of their lit cigarettes. Lane doesn't have a towel. mfTL is upset that he'll be sharing bunk beds. Brian thinks that bunk beds are cool: "The bottom one is like a fort!" Lane says that they should start a list of things they need. mfTL and Brian argue over Futurama figures until Lane points out the empty shelf they could use. The boys tell Lane they set that shelf aside for her CDs, because those need a place to go. Lane is so touched by having a place for her things that are allowed to be on display that she gushes that this is totally going to work. Brian gets the line "Jeez! You smeared my glasses!" I do believe they can pull back on the geek for Brian. We get it. The guys ask her not to freak out when she sees her shelf in the bathroom.
