In the town square, Sookie and Jackson lug the huge bags through the park, trying not to draw attention to themselves. "Jackson!" Sookie says, breathless. "Stop trotting!" They fight over the best way to go about their plan, until a car drives by. "Narcs!" Sookie says, and they take off again. "What the hell are the Petersons doing out this late?" she says. "They're bad," Jackson gasps. "They're bad people." Sookie: "Said the people trying to ditch a kilo of weed! Pickles! Pickles!" They take off again and immediately run into the Troubadour. He tells them that a tour manager heard him sing and wants him to open for Neil Young at a bunch of east coast dates. "Great," Sookie and Jackson say. "See ya." They run again, and Sookie wonders aloud that if Neil tokes, they could give all the grass to the Troubadour to take on the tour. "I think if Neil tokes," Jackson says, "he's already got a connection." They're still moving when they run into Reverend Skinner and Rabbi Behrens. They get nervous, especially when the two holy men mention that their evening walks are a great time to talk about God. "Yes," Jackson says, "it's a great time to talk about God." Sookie: "He's a good guy, that God." The preacher and the rabbi ask whether they'd like to join the walk. "NO!" they shout, and start off again. "We're going to hell!" Sookie says. Jackson: "Just keep running!"
Back at home later, Sookie and Jackson are surprised to get a visit from Lorelai: "I just need to hang out for a while." They all sit in the living room, staring at each other in silence until finally, Lorelai looks up. "What's that smell?" she asks. Sookie tells her that it's sixty-eight pounds of marijuana, and the writers miss the easy joke of Lorelai asking for some. Instead, she just looks so sad, yet again, as the screen goes black.
