Sookie is using an iBook, squealing about how high-tech everything is. She's in the kitchen, not working. Lorelai asks what she's doing. Michel looks over Sookie's shoulder. Sookie says she's downloading wedding stuff from Prague. "Oh, you're kidding," Lorelai moans. Sookie says it's streaming in right now. She boasts about her newfound 'net knowledge: "That's internet talk. 'Streaming.' Did you know that?" Then she tells Lorelai that it's not Czechoslovakia anymore. It's Czech Republic. I know. I'm part Slovak. Lorelai asks what Sookie's downloading. "Oh, this will much amuse you," Michel Frenches. It's samples of the big ceramic stands for the giant papier-mâché mushrooms for the midgets dressed like angels to dance under. Sookie says their mushroom maker in Paris is so much better than the Belgian guy. Lorelai closes the iBook and tells Sookie that they need to talk. Michel pleads with Lorelai to not talk Sookie out of these things. He doesn't want to die without having seen midgets dancing under paper mushrooms. Lorelai tells him to stay out of it. Michel pouts off, telling Lorelai that she's no fun.
Lorelai tells Sookie that the danger of Emilyworld is that you don't always know when you are in it. Sookie moans about the Emilyworld stuff. Lorelai asks what all of this is going to cost Sookie. She says she doesn't know yet, but whatever it is, Emily is getting her 50\% off of that. Lorelai says that 50\% off a "load of money" is still "half a load of money," and that's a load of money that Sookie doesn't have. Sookie says that if she scrimps, she can afford a quarter load. Lorelai says that's still too much money. Sookie says that Emily offered to chip in a little. Lorelai tells her that she can't have Emily help pay for her wedding. "That is way, way, way inappropriate," Lorelai says. I'll ignore all of the inappropriate things that happened when Lorelai wanted to get married. Sookie says she didn't take Emily up on the offer; Emily's just being nice. Lorelai says that all of this isn't Sookie, adding, "And it isn't Jackson either." She tells Sookie that Jackson came and talked to Lorelai, upset. Sookie's instantly upset because she loves Jackson. Lorelai says she loves the both of them and figured it was time to meddle. Sookie wonders why Jackson didn't come to talk to her. Lorelai tells her that Jackson wanted Sookie to be happy and have everything she wanted, so he wasn't going to say anything. Lorelai asks if this is what Sookie really wants. "Well, maybe the midgets are a little over the top. And the mushrooms...?" Sookie moans and says it all sounds so silly now. Lorelai tells Sookie that she's starting to come out of it, and tells her to keep going. Sookie whines that this isn't what she wanted at all. It was supposed to be a simple ceremony that was all worked out. Lorelai tells her to go back. Sookie says she will go back. She gasps: "That is, if Jackson still wants to marry me." What? Lorelai says that of course Jackson still wants to marry her. Sookie leaves to call him and tell him that everything's fine.
