However, Lorelai grabs up Emily's planning book containing her fancy seating charts for the wedding dinner, and gets down to some hijinks moving people around: "Oh, the Ramseys' divorce must be legal by now -- time for a little reunion!" Rory looks over her shoulder, sees Logan's name on the seating chart, and muses that it maybe it was a little mean of her grandparents to oust the Sheldrakes across town to another club. Huh, Rory. May-be.
Her mother explains that her parents can justify such behavior to themselves because they are rich snobs who live in a world of entitlement and feel like they can do anything they want with no consideration for the feelings of others. Rory starts to look uncomfortable, probably because she can see the off-camera anvil of irony about fall on her mom's head. Lorelai goes on to compare such behavior to that of the "Life and Death" brigade Rory wrote about in the Yale paper. Rory gets her back up about this, because now Mama's talkin' about her man, and calling him selfish, and she throws down a little, accusing Lorelai of reading whatever she wanted to into the story, and saying, "Just because you have money doesn't automatically make you a jerk!" Lorelai says she didn't mean it like that, and an awkward silence falls. They agree to change the subject.
Next day: The Gilmore girls are running behind schedule. "Rory," Lorelai says, "that childish punctuality of yours has worn off. My baby's a woman!" Luke knocks and then walks in because the door was unlocked. He expresses concern, but I can't figure out why, because aren't there only about twelve people living in this town? And don't they all know each other? Lorelai and Rory come in and neither of them is dressed for the wedding, saying they're "getting dressed there." Luke is upset, because he would have done the same thing to avoid wrinkling his pants. They race out the door, Luke asking "aren't you going to lock up?" Lorelai shouts out for Babette to lock up on her way out, and it is revealed that Babette was there all along, passed out on the couch. It is universally agreed (myself included) that Luke looks nice, and they make for the wedding site.
