Lorelai walks away to find Kirk stacking wood (dirty!) in the fireplace. He wears a lumberjack plaid flannel as he tells Lorelai that he put wood in all the guest rooms (dirty!). As he leaves, he tells Michel that he hates dogs, since they urinate on wood (dir...eh, that's...sorry...). Lulu, Kirk's girlfriend, appears from just off-camera to giggle and force through that painful-looking grin that she just loves it when Kirk looks like the Brawny Paper Towel guy. "It is a good outfit," Lorelai agrees. Lulu looks around and says that the place looks "absolutely wonderful." She asks when it opens. Two weeks, but they're having a test run on Saturday, if you haven't heard yet. Lorelai invites Lulu, saying she can have Paw-Paw and Chin-Chin's room. Where will Michel sleep? Lulu is excited to have the offer. She says that Kirk would feel better too, since he'd be able to check up on the wood. Lorelai: "Kirk's lucky to have found you, Lulu."
Sookie has hired a kitchen army, and she's very proud of all their hard work. Do they have to wear chef whites even when the inn isn't open to the public? Who are they making all that food for? Lorelai enters the kitchen, and Sookie gushes that this is the best kitchen staff she's ever had. Lorelai explains that there are way too many of them. Sookie says she hired seven thinking two would quit, but all of them have stayed and they're wonderful. Lorelai says they can't afford so many workers, so Sookie's going to have to play Trump at the test run which is on Saturday!!! Lorelai walks away from Sookie and pours a cup of coffee as Michel comes back inside and notes that Kirk is missing "all sorts of chromosomes." Lorelai tells him that she's put Kirk and Lulu in Room 4. "You cut me," Michel says. He reads off the rest of the list, and when he gets to Luke in Room 7, Lorelai gets all gooey and weird at the mention of her favorite grumpster. I just called him "grumpster" because that's what people in love do -- they make up nauseatingly cute words for things that are mean, pouty, or sourpussy. Hee. Sourpussy. That's not even "dirty." That's "NC-17." Lorelai stammers that she didn't know Luke was coming, which is fine, even though that's funny, but hey that's cool baby, you know how it is, rockin' and rollin' and whatnot. Michel simply stares at her. Lorelai says that Luke will be in lucky number 7, not that he'll get lucky. Sookie walks over and proudly displays a bowl of chopped onions. She loves how they're chopped so much she'd like to string them up and wear them around her neck. "Well, that wouldn't be at all eccentric," Michel says. When does Michel get his own episode? I love him. Lorelai hugs Sookie and says in all the craziness she forgot today was Sookie's wedding anniversary. Sookie takes .05 seconds and then goes, "Oh, my God." She runs off.
