Richard comes home to a very happy Emily. She had the entire day to herself, and is now busy talking, telling him how great her day was. She kisses him and says it's nice to see him. She gives him some quick gossip and discusses some redecorating she'd like to do. She asks whether he ate. He says he had Chinese food with the girls. Emily says that he loves Chinese food. He agrees that he does. "Well, I'm thrilled you had such a wonderful time," she beams. Richard says he's still so energized from the day that he's going to go upstairs and organize those stamps he's been putting off. "Now?" Emily asks. Richard says he doesn't see why not. Emily says it sounds like a wonderful idea. She kisses him and tells him to have fun.
Upstairs in the dark and lonely study, Richard shuts the door. Since he's still in his coat, my head suddenly is racing. "Don't shoot yourself, Richard!" I think. "Don't shoot yourself!" Richard slowly walks over to his chair. Don't do it! He takes off his coat. Don't shoot yourself! Richard sits down and slaps his knees quietly. It's now the end of the episode. How strange and quiet and sad.
Next week there's all sorts of Jess problems. Maybe it'll be the last we see of Jess. ["I hope so. God, he sucks." -- Wing Chun] How can Rory's heart change when she drove to see Jess in the car CuteDean built for her? Ah, teen love. So fickle. See ya next week.
