Rory's resting in bed at home, and Lorelai's making sure that she's going to be okay. Rory has a pad and paper in case she needs to write the great American novel, a Sinéad CD, and a tiny bell to ring in case she needs more things. Rory says she'd like to sleep now. Lorelai asks if her arm's hurting. Rory says it isn't, but that the drugs from the hospital are making her a little dopey. "My little Marianne Faithful," Lorelai says. Rory tucks herself in as Lorelai moves a chair closer to the bed. Rory says that Lorelai doesn't have to sleep in Rory's room. Lorelai says she's just moving the chair and giving it a pillow and blanket for company. Lorelai gets into the chair, props her legs up, and goes to sleep. Ow, her knees are going to be so hyperextended. Rory apologizes for the accident. Lorelai tells her that the chair is trying to sleep.
Later, we pan down from the sleeping Rory to the sleeping Lorelai. She wakes up. She looks to her right. Yikes! Man in the room! It's Christopher, sleeping beside her. I can't believe he has his own key to the house. ["That I could believe." -- Wing Chun] Lorelai wakes him up and they quietly leave the bedroom.
Lorelai asks what he's doing there. Christopher says he drove as fast as he could, but that Rory and Lorelai had already left the hospital, and that he couldn't reach Lorelai on her cell phone, so he came to the house and broke in using the key from the turtle. Lorelai hugs him and says she's glad he's there. Christopher asks how Rory's doing. "She's in a cast," Lorelai answers. She says the doctors say Rory will be fine in a couple of weeks, but that the car's totaled. Christopher says he'll take care of the car tomorrow, and that he would like to talk to the doctors to make sure everything's okay. He asks for a picture of Jess so he doesn't accidentally kill the wrong kid. Lorelai's all, "My hero." She asks if he's staying there tonight. Christopher says he is, and is evasive about Sherri once again. Lorelai asks if he wants some coffee. Christopher says he'll make it. She asks if he knows how to make her coffee. He says he puts in one bag of coffee per cup of water. Lorelai says she was so terrified when she heard the word "hospital" the night before. She thought she was having a heart attack, and says she's going to join a gym tomorrow so that she never feels that way again. Christopher asks her to look into a two-for-one membership. Lorelai says it could have been so much worse. Christopher says that everything's going to be okay. They make up from their fight in sentence fragments. Lorelai repeats that she's glad Christopher is there.
