Lorelai runs up to the Independence Inn as Kirk and Michel are fighting at the door. Michel says that he's the man in charge of floral deliveries. Lorelai says that he's also one of the few men who would proudly boast that fact. Kirk says that the flower delivery he has must be signed by Lorelai. Michel says he didn't order this delivery. Kirk says he's just doing his job. Lorelai understands that it's a delivery for her, and walks into the hotel. We see Lorelai's shocked reaction. Michel walks in with Kirk and Frenches that he'd never order daisies. He says they're just a small step up from weeds. Lorelai says that there are a thousand of them: "A thousand yellow daisies." Kirk says that the order was for exactly one thousand yellow daisies. Lorelai walks through the room filled with yellow daisies. She's near tears as she sits down and pulls out her cell phone. She calls Max. He says he couldn't find a horse. He tells her that she was right last night, and that he shouldn't have proposed the way he did, but he didn't do it because they were fighting; he proposed because he loves her. He wants to break the bad pattern they have. He says he woke up this morning and realized that he has studied and taught the great literature his entire life, and those characters always let opportunities slip by, and if doesn't follow the teachings of those stories, then he's not the man he wants to be. Instead of being nauseated, Lorelai says he "talks good." Max continues pouring out his bottle of Schmaltz liquor and says, "I love you, Lorelai Gilmore. And I know this to be true." They hang up. Lorelai looks around the flowers and sighs.
Lorelai walks over to Luke's that night and passes Grant Lee Legalo. Hippie Whistler is about to leave, but Grant Lee gives him a head nod and Whistler joins him in song.
Lorelai busts into the diner and asks whether Rory's there yet. It's 7 PM, but Rory isn't there yet. Lorelai has startled Luke, and he accidentally spilled on Kirk; he throws Kirk a towel and asks Lorelai what's going on. Lorelai says that they are potentially big things, but that she'd like to tell Rory first, and then she'll tell him. Luke asks whether it has something to do with work. Lorelai's on some sort of Motorola pager thing looking for Rory. Luke asks if she wants coffee. She doesn't. Luke says this must be big news if she doesn't want coffee; he asks if Lorelai is happy about this news. Lorelai says she might be, but she's not sure. She beeps and says she's going to go meet Rory. She stops and hands Luke a daisy. "The whole town gets one today," she says. She leaves. "Bye," Luke says to no one.
