Upstairs, we see CuteDean's room. Again, makes no sense that Rory's surprised to see it for the first time since they were in high school. Where have they been having sex for the past couple of weeks? Rory picks up a model car of CuteDean's and actually goes, "Vrroom!" I wonder if they were told to improvise because it's all so weird and wrong. There's no bed, I guess, so CuteDean pulls Rory over for a kiss. Clara starts playing loud music, and in an opposite reaction from any teenager trying to get laid, CuteDean bangs on the door, yelling at Clara to turn down the sound that will cover up anything they do on CuteDean's floor. These morons deserve each other. They can't do anything right. CuteDean apologizes to Rory for his mom, saying that "this whole thing" has been hard on his parents. His dad won't come out of the basement. Rory says it's okay, and knows it'll take time for everybody. CuteDean yells at his sister again. "The college student and the divorcee," he laughs. "We'd make a good adult film," Rory says. No, you wouldn't, because that would require you to be hot. You guys have no real sexual chemistry. Crush-cute is not the same as sexy. CuteDean's mom knocks and asks when Rory's going home, because they want to set the house alarm. CuteDean says he'll set the alarm, even though it'll wake up his parents when he does. She asks that Rory doesn't stay too late. She then opens the door a crack before walking away. Heh. My mom totally used to do that. CuteDean is amazed. He suggests they go see a movie. Rory says it's late and she has classes. She's not hungry, either. They decide to watch television. CuteDean turns on the oldest television in the world, shuts the door, and sits on the floor. As they wait for the television to warm up, we hear CuteDean's parents screaming at each other downstairs, unless that's the television without a picture. It's hard to tell. Regardless, dude. CuteDean needs to get his own place if he wants to get laid. Rory needs to move on.
Luke's has become Jackson's campaign headquarters. Lorelai is using her cell phone to make calls to citizens, asking for their vote. So, let's see. Lorelai has taken over her boyfriend's restaurant for her campaign AND is using a cell phone inside the diner? She is a really bad girlfriend. Kirk's in a suit, and he's made an informal poll of Stars Hollow, using the same math the Gallup Poll uses, which means he only had to ask himself, which he did, and unanimously, Stars Hollow is voting for Jackson. I had friends who used to work for the Gallup Poll. That's a tough job, right there. You only get paid your normal wage when you get people to stay on the phone for the entire poll, which can sometimes take twenty minutes. If they hang up after fifteen, you don't make your money. So either get off the phone quickly with those people or do the whole questionnaire because they're just trying to make a living in this economy that's making all of us have to work twelve-hour days just so we can have a roof over our heads. I can't even imagine how much harder it would be if I had a kid. I don't know how you parents do this. I am stretched trying to feed three cats, and I have four jobs. Four! Did I mention you should vote? Because you have to. You have to vote. We can't keep living like this.
