Chilton. I guess it's Friday, since the student council is meeting again. A week goes so quickly around here. The ancient librarian is in the hospital right now, but once she gets out, she'll sign Paris's document and they can get a new librarian. Yay! Fraulein and Louisa are back. Somehow they're now on the Student Council. Louisa wants to throw a back-to-school dance. "Dances are distracting," Paris says. Louisa counters with the fact that dances will bring in the money for those "stupid topiaries" Paris wants in the quad. Paris tells her to draft a proposal and have it on her desk by the morning. She has a desk? Just one desk? Fraulein wants a professional photographer to take the senior pictures this year so they don't have those "Before They Were Stars" unfortunate photographs like everyone else. Paris asks for suggestions and Louisa tells her that Helmut Newton is her godfather. Paris asks for him to leave the whips and chains at home, but otherwise she's fine with it. Paris is about to adjourn the meeting, but Francie wants to address the hemline issue again. Paris says she hasn't had time to think about it yet. "I guess I can wait. For a while," Francie says with a glance to Rory. "Patience is a virtue," Paris says as she gavels the meeting to a close. Francie gives Rory the slow, hairy eyeball.
Paris asks Rory, "Hey. What do you think about Helmut Newton being Louise's godfather? Explains a lot, doesn't it?" Rory suggests that perhaps Paris should think about the hemline thing. She says that if girls want the option to make their skirts a little shorter, it's not a big deal. Paris says it is a big deal to her, since she's building a legacy and doesn't want to start it with some fashion issue: "It would be my gays in the Military." Rory says it would be a good way to establish some goodwill among the other class presidents, since Paris might need them to support an issue of hers in the future. Throwing them a tiny bone like the hemlines could help out. And since it's the beginning of the term, nobody's even going to remember the first thing Paris passed. Rory says that Paris's legacy will be established: "By the time that you implement public executions for line-cutters, hemlines will be a thing of the past." Paris asks Rory why she even cares about this. Rory lies that she thinks that Paris would want to be beloved as well as respected. Paris is interested in being beloved. Paris says she'll push it through. "But the next genius who comes up with the brilliant plan to put Elizabeth Arden in the Chemistry class? Can bite my ass." Is that the first time "bite my ass" has been said on network television?
