Zoom! It's tomorrow, 6 at night. The doorbell rings and Rory answers it. It's Paris. She walks inside and they bicker. Paris says they should just do this and get it over with. She offers to go to a pay phone if Rory really had her heart set on using the phone. "Do you have pay phones in this town, or are you still using a Town Crier?" Hee. They go to Rory's bedroom.
Paris puts her stuff down and says they should read each other's speeches first. Rory pouts and hands Paris her speech. "Why did you use this font?" Paris immediately asks. "Because," Rory says, "I was on the crack." Good line. "Did you check these facts?" Paris asks. "Yes, I did." "Rory?" Paris asks. "What, Paris?" "I slept with Jamie." Rory is speechless. "Last night, after we talked," Paris says. "Was it something I said?" Rory asks. This is the best-written scene this show has had in so long. I love it very much. Paris: "I went over there to study and he lit a fire and then we did it. What are your thoughts on that?" Hee. Paris says she's not sure how she feels about it herself yet. Rory must get up and leave the room. Paris follows her. She says she thinks it all went pretty well, since the fire was nice and he didn't put on any make-out music. Rory drinks, heavily. Paris says she wasn't even wearing anything particularly alluring and they were discussing modern-day Marxism, which isn't what she would have deemed a "come and get it" conversation: "But nevertheless he came and got it and I have to figure out what that means to me on a psychological level." She was wondering if she could have a healthy debate about it with Rory so she can come to a reasonable conclusion. Rory flops back on her bed. Paris has followed her. "Are you pro? Con? Undecided?" Rory asks her to stop talking for a second so she can get her mind around this.
Lorelai comes home with pizza, but she's being uncharacteristically quiet about it. This way she can walk into the hallway and eavesdrop on the conversation, which she does.
Rory asks if they were safe. Paris says they were. Rory asks if he was nice. Paris says he was very nice. They hadn't exactly discussed it, but it was implied. They had been dating for a while and they're not Amish, so it was inevitable. She asks if Rory had sex with Dean. Rory says she didn't.
