Lorelai finds Rory in her bedroom with all of her clothes on her bed. She's just staring at all of the sweaters and tops as they sit in a pile. Lorelai offers to help her get ready for CuteDean. Rory says that she's "supposed to look pretty and girlie, which is completely impossible because [she's] gross and [she has] nothing to wear." Lorelai picks up a purple sweater and roots around until she finds a top that says "hip" and "cute" but also "relaxed." Rory marvels at how her mother can turn a top into an outfit. Lorelai says she has years of experience in the "fashion brain-freeze." Rory asks how her mother is so good with men. She says that Lorelai's always funny and makes them laugh and then does this hair-flip thing (Lorelai corrects her and shows that it's actually a twirl) and completely amazes the guy. Rory says she'll never be able to do that: "Trig, I can do. But boys? And dating? I'm a total spaz." Lorelai sits down next to Rory and says, "Listen. The talking part? You just get used to. The hair twirl I can teach you. The leaving him amazed part? With your brain and killer eyes, I'm not worried." She tells Rory just to give it time and she'll get better at these things. She tells Rory to hustle and get ready. "We've got a man coming over."
