Lorelai walks outside, beaming, putting on her coat. "You missed a spot!" she says. What an asshole. She says that this is really nice, and that she would like to fight again so that her gutters can be cleaned. Luke delivers a letter straight from our forums. Lorelai tries to interject a few times, but Luke barrels through with some seriously overdue bitching: "You think everything is your business. Everything is about you. Well, here's a news flash: some things are not about you. If I want to move in with Nicole, it concerns her and it concerns me and that is it. It does not concern you. It is none of your business! I don't have to tell you anything! And you do not have the right to make me feel guilty because I didn't tell you anything. I have been tying my own shoes since I was four, repairing my own car since I was fourteen, and I have been making my own decisions since I could crawl! I owe you NOTHING!" "Fine!" Lorelai shouts. "Nothing!" Luke repeats. "Fine!" Lorelai repeats again. Luke walks away: "And shovel your walk. It is a safety hazard." Lorelai says he's holding her shovel. Luke screams that he loaned it to her three years ago. Lorelai storms back into her house. Emmy for you, Luke. Good show.
Yawn. Rory's International Relations class. Israeli and Palestinian conflict is the issue. Paris explains it all away as two siblings fighting over the television remote. Paris and I have the same Gap scarf (mine's brown, though). Count: 23. Rory's pissy at William, so she attacks him on some issue he has about Israel, explaining that guns and bombs aren't as dangerous as treacherous lies and rumors. Teacher has a scarf: 24. Rory calls William an idiot. Someone dressed William like a tool, in his plaid Oxford and striped rugby shirt.
Pouty Lorelai is starving, but she can't go to Luke's because she's maddy-waddy at him for being so meany-weany. Rory is trying to study, so she gives Lorelai a list of every delivery place in Stars Hollow. Lorelai is bored and mad. Rory tells her to go make up with Luke so that she doesn't starve to death. Lorelai doesn't want to eat Beefaroni, and asks for a suggestion. Rory suggests The Bell Jar. Get it, the Bell Jar? Lorelai says she stayed up all night with Rory when Rory had the chicken pox, and that she needs Rory now. Rory hangs up.
Church bells. Lorelai puts on her Jiffy Pop hat and walks through the snow. Someone screams, "Shut up!" to the bells. People run with their hands over their ears. We see Miss Patty's dance studio, where Miss Patty is counting off steps, asking her dancers to ignore the bells. Lorelai -- wearing way too much makeup -- looks into Luke's window and sees him packing a box.
