Lorelai tells Max that Rory's in Hartford with her parents. Max says that she's safe. Lorelai says that nobody is safe with Emily: "That house is not safe. It's like the Amityville Horror without all the good times." Max suggests that she go get Rory if it's that bad. Lorelai says that Rory wanted to be away from her, and to be alone. She walks into the kitchen, saying that she is supposed to give Rory her space. Max has a look like, "So, we're home alone tonight, is what you're saying?"
In the kitchen, Max walks in and asks whether Lorelai is okay. Lorelai says that she can't believe Rory would leave instead of talking things out with her. Max asks what they fought about. "Oh. You," Lorelai says. She says that the fight started being about Max, but that it's more than that because of the whole CuteDean thing. She wishes Rory hadn't run away. Max turns her around and says that they'll work everything out soon. Lorelai says that Max is good at the comforting thing. They kiss. She asks whether he'd like some coffee. He would. As she starts making coffee, Max asks Lorelai why she didn't tell Rory about them. She says that Rory was so upset about CuteDean, she didn't want to gloat with her good news. Max asks whether Lorelai's told other people. Lorelai admits that she hasn't, adding that it really never came up in conversation. Max asks whether she's avoiding it. Lorelai says that she isn't. Max says he'd think it would've come up by now. Lorelai says that it hasn't come up naturally. Max says that he's been talking about it. Lorelai says he's a better people person than she is. Max wants to know whether there's a reason Lorelai doesn't want anyone to know. Lorelai says there isn't, and she means it. They banter back for a while about whether or not she means that. She does. It's settled. Lorelai goes to page Sookie to tell her that Rory is okay.
