Emily's house. Lorelai apologizes for being late. Emily says that's what the "warm" setting on the oven is for. Lorelai asks Emily if they can talk. Emily says that they can talk outside, with drinks. Lorelai says she feels more comfortable talking by the front door, near the exit. Emily calls nonsense on all of that. Richard enters, saying that he might have to take another phone call soon. Emily says that Lorelai has something to tell them. Richard asks whether Lorelai purchased an accurate timepiece. Because nobody says "timepiece" anymore when they mean a watch, the first time I heard him say it I thought he said "an Acura Timepiece," like it's a new kind of car. Because I know nothing about watches or cars, you see. I'm just a simple girl.
Richard, Emily, and Lorelai move outside and sit by the fountain. Richard asks Lorelai what she'd like to drink. He says they have everything, so Lorelai asks for a Jägermeister and a Jell-O shot. "White wine," she adds. They sit, the new help brings over a plate of something, and Lorelai takes a deep breath. Emily interrupts to give Lorelai a souvenir. It's a bag of scone mix. Lorelai laughs. "Scone mix! Wow." Emily says that a new place opened up down the street from their house in Martha's Vineyard, and that they make the perfect scones. Lorelai: "Well, thanks, Mom. I will put this right on the counter and stare at it for many years to come." Emily, disappointed, asks why Lorelai wouldn't make the scones. Lorelai says she's not much of a baker. Emily points out that the instructions are right on the bag, and that they are very good scones. Lorelai says she'll get Sookie to bake the scones. Emily says she can't understand why Lorelai wouldn't want to make the scones herself. Richard says that Rory would love the scones. Scones, scones, scones, scones, scones, scones, scones. "Thanks, Mom. It was really nice of you to think of me and to buy a present when I didn't get you anything," Lorelai says. I'm just kidding. Of course she didn't. Never. Never would Lorelai think of what someone's actual intentions were, or see the good in anything.
