Sookie's kitchen. Lorelai moans that she can't believe she hadn't told Mia about their plan to buy their own inn yet. She feels terrible, and realizes she should have told Mia a long time ago. Lorelai's cell phone goes off. It's Emily, complaining that Rory won't pose for the picture in an appropriate manner. Didn't Emily say at dinner last Friday that the picture would be done Saturday morning? In any event, Rory is unhappy because Emily wants her to pose with her arm over her head like a ballerina. Lorelai says that Rory shouldn't have to sit in a silly position, and that Emily should pick something simpler. Emily says she originally wanted the swan to sit regally aside Rory's throne. "'Swan'? 'Throne'!" Lorelai says. She says that swans and thrones mean "Siegfried and Roy." Emily doesn't know who those people are, and says that Lorelai would probably have Rory just sitting, reading a book. Lorelai says that Rory sitting with a book is very natural, and the perfect picture for the study. Emily says it might not be a bad idea, and lets Rory lower her arm. The Foley artist hits "Play" on track sixteen: swan croak. Rory jumps; Emily looks off-screen and says she thinks the swan is just hungry. Wah-wahhhh! Swan humor!
Lorelai hangs up and asks Sookie how she's supposed to tell Mia that she's leaving the Inn. Sookie suggests they get Mia drunk. Mia and Michel walk in discussing a problem with a lamp being too short. Michel makes a suggestion, and Mia tells him it's a great idea. She realizes she understood every word he said. They celebrate and leave the kitchen. Lorelai tells Sookie she doesn't want to ruin Mia's celebratory moment. Sookie starts clucking, because Lorelai is a chicken.
