Rory goes on and on about how, now that he's in London, she can't gauge how he's feeling anymore, because she can't see his face. "His eyes always give him away," she says. "Logan has very expressive eyes." Lorelai nods. "I've noticed," she says. "It's one of the things he and Bette Davis have in common." Hee! Funny, but...why not suggest that Rory -- and I know this is so crazy -- just ask Logan how he's feeling. I know, it's so radical! Seeing how frustrated Rory is, Lorelai cuts to the chase. "So," she says, "go to London." Rory is surprised. Rory says that she can't just go to London. Lorelai disagrees -- she says Rory and Logan would have a great time in London together, and since Rory doesn't even have any other plans for the summer anyway, she should just call him and go. Rory allows herself a small smile and looks at the rocket. "I need to do some more Googling," she says, and Lorelai sighs and goes to bed.
At his diner, Luke sits alone among the wreckage and thinks in the dark.
Upstairs, in her cutey pajamas, Lorelai sits on the bed looking morose. Suddenly, she must again be reminded of Luke. She gets up and drags all the bedding to the floor. The phone rings, and when she sees who's calling, she cringes. It's Christopher. "Just checking in," he says to her total silence. He tries again. "I had a really great time last night." Now she's really cringing and he can tell. "Don't worry," he says. "This is not a booty call." Lorelai: "It can't be, because you're not eighteen...and this is not 1997." Good one. Except, hello, it totally is a booty call. He gives her the patented "I was thinking you could come over tomorrow night and I could cook us some dinner" routine, which she immediately kiboshes. "Let's not make more out of it than it was," she says, clearly uncomfortable. "I don't think it should happen again." He is obviously disappointed, but tells her that he's there for her if she needs him (EW!) and they say goodnight. Man, it is painful. She hangs up and sighs.
