And because of that last sentence, I stopped recapping for the day. This means that right now I'm recapping on a plane. On a plane! I'm in the air, way up high, using all the modern technologies offered to one young recapper. I probably wouldn't have told you that I'm recapping on a plane because it makes you have to figure out how I'm able to put an episode of Gilmore Girls on my iBook, but I have to tell you the craziest thing: Marty is on my plane. I'm sitting a few rows away from Naked Guy, and I wasn't even slightly discreet about it when I saw him standing in front of me at the gate. "That's Marty from Gilmore Girls, I said to Stee, because I'm a geek. Then, while he was looking at me I just kept babbling. "He also works with ___ at ___!" Stee: "And you just creeped him out so much he walked away." It's true. He kind of avoided being near us for the rest of the time we waited to board. I'm normally really good around famous people, but the people from this show always throw me off. Anyway, Marty, I'm really sorry I outed you at Gate 71B. Can you imagine how weird it'd be if I were recapping the other week's show on the plane, and then he was sitting next to us and I was recapping him while he sat next to me? Anyway, I'm on a plane!
Emily can't believe Richard lives in such "squalor." She complains about the smell of cigars, and how it smells of debauchery. Lorelai says that Richard and his valet have this whole Auto Focus thing going on. Rory points out the location of the booze, and prods her to hurry up and vamoose. Lorelai says that Emily has the vamoose; it's the gin she needs. Lorelai says, "But you know..." instead of, "Ba-dum-bum." Emily wonders why Richard would have five packs of breath mints. Lorelai opines Richard is on a Gorgonzola and onion diet. As Emily recognizes new books in Richard's collection, Lorelai pouts that her Petunia Pig plate and spoon are hidden here with the castoffs. I have a Donald Duck spoon that met a similar fate in my mom's kitchen. Emily tells Lorelai to take the plate and spoon home, and that Richard won't miss it. Lorelai asks for a canvas bag with a dollar sign on it to take her booty home. Rory heads for the booze again. "Oh, and I think that I spot gin. It's brown, right?" Lorelai: "I love that you think that." Emily snoops through Richard's closet. Rory complains that she just spilled a ton of Scotch on her skirt. "Who's not closing these bottles?" Don't try to figure out why that just happened. Rory's not going to get arrested for drunk driving, and there's no stain on her skirt that we can see. Maybe in a future episode that line will be addressed. But for now, we can forget it. Lorelai asks her mother if she's looking for skeletons in Richard's closet. Emily gasps at something she's found. Rory says she's got the gin and she's ready for the snooping to end. Emily finds a flashy vest in Richard's closet: "It's a vest! It's got glitter! It's a glitter vest!" Technically, it has sequins, but whatever. Lorelai and Rory tell Emily to chill on the vest, and that there are lots of places Richard would need one. Emily asks Lorelai to name one. "Okay, I'm at a loss," Lorelai admits. She suggests that this vest might be like the Petunia Pig spoon, a relic from the bygone days. Emily says that Richard's days of yore never included "dressing up like that gay fellow whose tiger tried to eat him." She's never seen this vest before, and declares it to be a "party vest." Rory worries that they aren't going to cover their tracks correctly, and that they've moved too much stuff around. "How dare he have a vest like that!" Emily scowls. Rory moves everything back to where it belongs as Lorelai pushes her mother out the door.
