Rory stomps into her room and stands in front of a Dave Eggers poster for a long time. Headmaster Charleston asks Rory how she likes Yale. Rory says she loves it because it's nothing like she thought it would be. It's nothing like we thought it'd be, either, Rory, and that's exactly why we still wish you had gone to Harvard. And Lorelai could have some kind of exchange student who's working an internship at the Dragonfly, and she could be the opposite of Rory but still get along with Lorelai like they were sisters and buddies, and Rory could be jealous, particularly when this girl barely studies and makes like, C's, but Lorelai doesn't care because she's not her mother. Headmaster Charleston asks Rory if she'll host a prospective Yalie from Chilton for a few days. This one is a "bright, focused, quietly determined" young girl who reminds the Headmaster of Rory. That would be the Rory before all the sex and adultery. Headmaster Charleston incorrectly assumes that Rory hasn't changed. Rory says that only the wardrobe has been updated. It's hard to see ourselves for who we truly are, isn't it? Rory thanks Headmaster Charleston for the honor. The sixteen-year-old girl's name is Anna Fairchild, and she'll be there Monday morning at nine. Rory makes a Sabrina joke that falls flat with the Headmaster. Rory thanks him again and says she won't let him down. They hang up.
