Babette and Miss Patty are going to be buried in their Dragonfly robes. Babette asks Rory what happened to her. Rory says she went home early to get some things. Rory makes small talk with the townies over Davey as Sookie waves Lorelai down like she's a passing cab. As Lorelai heads to the kitchen, Jackson offers to take Davey from Miss Patty's lap, since he has "that look on his face." "Oh, please," says Miss Patty. "If I went running every time some guy tried to crap all over me, I never would have gotten married." I missed this show.
Dragonfly kitchen. Sookie launches herself into Lorelai's arms, squealing and squeeing like a forum poster on Red Bull. Lorelai asks Sookie why she's so happy. Sookie says she thinks the Luke thing is wonderful. Sookie tells Lorelai that she found out from Kirk: "He saw you. He saw you kiss Luke! Oh, my God! You were kissing Luke!" Sookie goes back to some business in her kitchen as she goes on about how great it is that Lorelai is with Luke, and that she always hoped one day Lorelai would turn around and see Luke and know what a great guy he is. She's really happy for Lorelai now, because it means Lorelai won't die alone. Somebody will be there when she dies. Yes, that's why people get married in the first place, isn't it? Sookie: "Somebody will find the body and call the police." Lorelai: "Yes, that is a relief." Sookie tells Lorelai that she convinced Kirk that he was dreaming the kiss, and asks why she'd be concerned about anyone finding out. She says that Luke thought maybe Lorelai didn't want the news to get out, but she can't understand why Lorelai would want that. Sookie asks how it was: "Was it on top of a table? Because I always thought it would be on top of a table. Oh, like Bull Durham!" Lorelai says there was no sex. Sookie is disappointed to find out there's no sex. She worries that Luke can't.... Lorelai says she's sure he can, but that there was no time. She says that everything happened at once, with the inn and her parents flipping out and Digger. Lorelai asks what happened to Digger. Sookie says his condo was on fire, or at least that's what Michel had her say when they called his cell phone. Sookie asks Lorelai why she doesn't seem happy about Luke. Lorelai says it's just new, and that she's still processing it. Sookie asks if Luke knows that she's happy and processing, and that once she's done with the processing they'll get to the sex. Lorelai says she thinks Luke knows, or at least he should know, and that she hopes he knows. Sookie tells her to make sure he knows: "Because you two together..." "Means getting to the morgue before I smell, I got it," Lorelai finishes.
