Back at home, Lorelai walks into the kitchen and freaks out, dropping her coffee cup and shrieking. She picks the cup up and drops it over the horrifying object on the floor. She holds herself, and tries to calm down. Cue CuteDean, carrying a large box through the back door. "Uh, I hope I'm not disturbing anything," he says. That's a strange line, because he clearly would have heard her screaming bloody murder (to steal a phrase from my mom), and probably would have rushed in to make sure she was okay. Lorelai tells CuteDean to be careful not to kick the cup, since trapped underneath is a spider "whose previous credits include the bathtub scene from Annie Hall." CuteDean then repeats the joke from Annie Hall, I guess because they assume we can't remember that joke or something. But listen, if you're young and you love Gilmore Girls and you're allowed to watch rated R films (which I guess isn't even a real restriction anymore, is it?), and you haven't seen Annie Hall yet, it's time for you to go rent it and let it become one of your favorite films of all time. Wait: if you haven't fallen in love yet, it might not be worth your cash. CuteDean asks what Lorelai's planning to do with the spider now that she's trapped it. "Well, I was thinking of just giving him the kitchen," she answers. "'Cause, you know, we don't use it very much, anyhow." CuteDean offers to get rid of the spider for her. Lorelai tells him to do it carefully, since the spider heard her, and spiders are vindictive. CuteDean traps the spider between a piece of paper and a cup. Lorelai says that this shows why camping is out of the question for her. Me too. CuteDean and Lorelai flirt over the spider for a little while. CuteDean! Goin' for the MILF. Impressive. Well, she's the only actor on the show tall enough for him.
