By Pamie | Season 1 | Episode 6 | Aired on 2000.11.09
In a strange leap-of-faith moment, Emily just happens to be standing around talking to Lorelai as Rory walks past. Emily grabs Rory and tells her that it's time to say a few words to all of her guests, thanking them for coming. Lorelai tries to get Rory out of the job, but Emily says it's what Rory is supposed to do since it's her party. Rory freaks out on Emily and says, "I am not the hostess. You are." Lorelai tries to calm Rory down but Rory goes on, telling Emily, "This is your party and these are your guests and I don't have anything to say to them, so you give the speech." Emily is shocked. Rory excuses herself. Lorelai asks, "What was that all about?" As three catty women holding champagne glasses stand behind Emily and stare, Emily turns to Lorelai and says, "Lorelai, your daughter has no manners whatsoever. You should be ashamed of yourself." Emily walks off and Lorelai wonders aloud how this all turned out to be her fault. Rory really didn't have to blow up in front of Emily in front of everyone. It only made her look like a bigger baby. She should have pulled Emily into the debating room. Because if anyone that age sassed someone Emily's age in front of those people, she would have been answered by a smack to the face. I'm just sayin'. ["She should have kept her voice down, for sure, but Emily also shouldn't have expected her to give a damn speech at a party she didn't want to have full of people she was either indifferent to, or hated. I just see where Rory's coming from, is all." -- Wing Chun]
