During the commercial break, these damn aerie girls say some stupid shit that I can't even repeat. Shut up, CW.
Luke is serving lunch to Babette and Miss Patty, who are desperately trying to figure out what's different about the diner. He assures them that nothing has changed. Miss Patty says that he must have done something to the windows. "Yeah," Babette screeches. "It's a lot less gloomy than it used to be!" Luke: "Identical level of gloom, people!" Babette, bouncing in her seat, decides that Luke must have bought new chairs. "I knew my butt felt more comfortable." Luke insists that Babette's butt feels exactly the same. Heeee. I don't have time, praise Jesus, to think any further about Sally Struthers's butt, because Rory walks in. She and Luke exchange friendly, though stilted, pleasantries. She congratulates him on his reopening. "New hat?" she asks, noticing what really is new around the place. Luke comments that he didn't think she was going to make it back to Stars Hollow this summer. "Oh, I wasn't," she says. "But...then, I did." Luke gives Rory a half-smile. "Things change," he says, full of meaning. Rory nods uncomfortably, and I yell loudly. Please do not freaking tell me that after six seasons of buildup, those two words will be the sendoff of this relationship. PLEASE. I will not be able to keep my eyes from absolutely rolling right out of my skull.
