Luke pulls up Lorelai's driveway (Dirty!). Lorelai's busy glue-gunning a paper daisy on her private place (Beat that, Dirty!). I swear, Lorelai is thirteen-year-old girl. If you're ever furious with someone and find that they were not where they were supposed to be because she was putting glitter strips on the inside of her garage -- does your head explode before or after you stab her seventy-three times with pinking shears? Luke tells Lorelai that Yenta tripped. They do a quick bit about the plot of Fiddler before Luke says he is in no mood for witty banter. "The kid tripped because her dress was too long." Lorelai asks if the girl is hurt. Luke says she isn't, "But she completely blew her entrance!" She tripped, and they had to reset her goats. Lorelai opens her arms wide and says, "Luke," with this condescending grin because uh, what she's doing is like, important? Luke says Lorelai should have been where she was "supposed to be" so that the costume fit. Lorelai is insulted at the notion that she's "supposed to be" anywhere. Luke reminds her that she's costumes; he's sets. But she's here, and he's busting his ass to launch the off-off-off-off Broadway show. Lorelai says she makes the costumes at home and brings them to the school when she's done. Luke says that's just great, because he's busy having to teach kids how to hold tools and deal with things like pee breaks all because Lorelai signed him up for it. Lorelai tells him he could have said no. Luke asks if she's ever tried saying no to Bradley when he has a giant inhaler shoved up his mouth: "Well, you can't!" Hee.
Luke finally notices the bright pink and blue garage. "What the hell am I looking at?" he asks. Lorelai calls it her special alone space. Seriously, the woman is a child. It looks like Jem's First Efficiency Apartment. Luke gets in a zinger: "Oh, yeah? Well, you got a whole house of special alone space." Dude! Best Lorelai dis of all time. I'm making you a trophy, Luke. Luke asks if she's going to hang out in her garage now. Lorelai says it's not like she has a boat that needs storage anymore. Luke suggests that she park her car in here. Lorelai doesn't want to park her car in her garage, because how else will she get it covered in snow and need Luke's help? Lorelai shouts and whines that she came home to this big, empty space so she thought she'd do something nice so it wasn't a "giant hole of depression sitting here." Luke says he was doing Lorelai a favor getting rid of the boat, as it was her garage. Lorelai, ready with the retort, spits, "Whatever!" Might as well have flashed him a "W" while you're at it, Lorelai. Luke asks if he was supposed to leave the boat in here forever. Lorelai drips with sarcasm as she tells him it's much better to park it out on the town square like a giant "They-Broke-Up Billboard." Lorelai really cares what the town thinks about their breakup. Luke says he didn't mean it like that. Lorelai doesn't know how he meant it. Luke says he can't believe Lorelai is mad at him for getting his boat out of her garage (dirty!). Lorelai says she's mad because he didn't tell her and she had to come home and find it gone and it proves that life exists when she's not in the room, and that's really scary for her: "You just snuck in and took it." She found out by driving by the diner: "You know what? It doesn't matter. Because it's done. We're done. It's fine." She says she's not mad, but she has dresses to make, so she'll see Luke later at the theater. Fade to commercial as Luke looks down, sufficiently chastised.
