Independence Inn. Kirk is explaining to Michel that cows never wrinkle. Kirk says that he did some research and found out the secret to cows. Lorelai enters, looking for something, and Michel tells her that Kirk is just about to explain the difference between humans and cows. "Other than one's a cow?" Lorelai asks. Michel tells her to shut up so that Kirk can continue being Kirk. "Hay," Kirk explains. Cows eat hay and people don't, so it must be the hay that keeps them so wrinkle-free. Kirk has developed a line of skin care products called "Hay There." Lorelai says they already have a line of beauty products at the Inn, and don't need a new one. Kirk offers to leave several sample cases. Lorelai points out that cows eat grass, but Kirk says that "Grass There" wasn't as catchy. "So sad not to have a cocktail in your hand every time he comes by, huh?" Michel asks. Lorelai answers the phone. It's Emily, who has just gotten back from Martha's Vineyard, and can't believe that Lorelai hasn't called the house yet, since she promised to call once they got back into town. This launches into a very lengthy, wordy argument about how the day just started, so technically Lorelai hasn't done anything wrong yet by not calling because there's lots of day left in which Lorelai could have called, but Emily still hated coming home to a house that didn't have a welcome in it from Lorelai. Eventually, Lorelai backs down and apologizes. She then lies to Emily and says that Rory isn't coming back into town until Saturday. This launches into another long bit about how Emily was sure that Rory was coming back on Friday, and that it was written into her calendar, and even Richard thought that Rory got back on Friday. She wanted Lorelai and Rory to bring Christopher to dinner with them. Lorelai lies again that Christopher is away on business, but that she'll send their regards. Emily tells her to make Christopher come the next week instead: "I want to see the three of you together." "Yes," Lorelai mopes. "That would be a nice picture." Lorelai stares into space as we go to commercial. Doesn't it seem strange that suddenly her parents want Lorelai with Christopher? How excited they are just because they kissed for a day? I don't really get it. ["They did establish in the pilot that at least Richard likes Christopher a great deal." -- Wing Chun]
