Emily's calling from her car. She's in a panic, her car full of flowers. "She wants to see your house," Emily tells her. "Tonight, before dinner." Gran wants to see Lorelai's house. This doesn't faze Lorelai, but it terrifies Emily. She reminds Lorelai of the monkey lamp. Lorelai says the house is clean. "If I came in there with white gloves, what would I find?" Emily asks. "That you could pull a rabbit out of your hat?" Lorelai answers. Emily says she'll just figure it out when she gets there. "When you get where?" Lorelai asks. Emily says she's turning on to Lorelai's street right now. Lorelai goes into a panic, telling her to make an illegal U-turn and go in the opposite direction from Lorelai's house right now. Emily says she knows there's a key in a turtle "or some ridiculous thing like that," and that she'll let herself in. "I'm here," Emily says. "I'll talk to you later, Lorelai." She hangs up as Lorelai shouts her name.
Chilton. Rory closes her locker. Francie leans out a classroom door and asks Rory to step inside for a moment. "It's just so lucky I caught you," Francie says. In the classroom, students are sitting around a table. Rory asks what's going on. Francie says it's the student council supplementary meeting. Rory reminds Francie that Paris cancelled this meeting. "She did, didn't she?" Francie says. Fraulein tells Rory that there was an issue Francie needed to discuss. She's even got an adviser. He says that Francie needed to discuss a timely issue. Rory says that Francie never told her she had an issue. Francie says she was so surprised that Paris cancelled the meeting that she totally forgot to mention her issue. Rory asks to cancel the meeting, but the adviser says no. He asks if anyone saw Paris. Francie says she saw her walking off with her brother. Louisa says that Paris doesn't have a brother. "Really? Well, she certainly seemed to know him," she says. Now, Jamie wouldn't even be at Chilton, since he's at college, and...whatever. Blah blah blah, Francie has figured out a way to get what she wants for her prom bid. The Wadsworth Mansion had a cancellation, and they can get it for prom if they move quickly. Rory reminds them that they voted already that the Mansion was too expensive if they were going to give a telescope as a senior gift. Francie says that a tree in the park is just fine, since every class plants a tree for the school. She makes everyone vote, and the Mansion it is, despite Rory's constant attempts to stick up for Paris's wishes. What a shitty adviser. For the record, it does appear that Fraulein voted for the Mansion at the last minute. Francie dismisses the meeting. "Chin up," she tells Rory. "We'll make it a really big tree."
