Rory sees a box that has come for her from Logan. It is a second-semester senior survival kit, containing stress-reducing items...like bags and bags of coffee. A real boyfriend would have supplied bottles and bottles of Maker's Mark, but perhaps I should not project my own needs onto Rory here. The box also contains a brilliantly tacky inspirational marble keepsake engraved "Anything's Possible." Rory immediately calls Logan to thank him: "Finally, someone gave me an inspirational keepsake!" Logan: "Well, good, because 'the world is your oyster,' to quote the other inspirational keepsake I was considering buying." He offers to come up and hang out with her that night, considering her difficult Grandpa week, but she assures him that she's all right. She sincerely thanks Logan for being there for her during her hard time, and they schmoop some cute goodbyes until his ten o'clock meeting shows up. "Good," says Rory, "I've got a ten o'clock cereal waiting for me." She smiles, and hangs up. "What's with the goony look?" Paris asks her. "Your face -- it's right out of a Harlequin Romance." Paris says she's amazed at how much Logan has changed. "Between the women and the drinking, that kid was on the Colin Farrell Freeway about to pull over into the Robert Downey, Jr. rest stop." Hee. Paris congratulates Rory on changing Logan -- making him a better person, just as Paris herself did with Doyle (whom she hilariously refers to as "quite the ladies' man"). "Let's face it," Paris concludes, "we took two wild stallions and we broke them." Rory says she doesn't think she really broke Logan. "Oh, you broke him; you broke him hard," says Paris. "You own him." Rory is uncomfortable with this notion, but Paris is on a roll: "Hey, let's make them get tattoos. It'll be like we branded them!" Oh, beautiful. Doyle's tattoo could be just the words "PLEASE HELP ME" across the back of his neck, and Logan's could be two big dollar signs on his eyelids.
