Luke, who will never get his way ever again for the rest of his life, has prepared everything for Lorelai's campaign headquarters, all over his food. He even hands over the keys. She must look really good naked. Lorelai can't believe Luke doesn't want to wait up to hear the results. Luke says he doesn't want to get too emotional. When would Luke ever want to take part in a town function? Although, now that he's dating Lorelai, it'd be nice if he took part in her interests, and heading a campaign like this (albeit for less than a week), it'd be nice if she had someone by her side, cheering her on. Whatever, Lorelai's had a lifetime of selfish acts. Let Luke get some damn shut-eye. He's got to clean this mess up in the morning, anyway. Rory leaves. How is Lorelai handling all this abandonment? Sookie knows that Jackson is nervous, as his neck has gone away. Kirk runs in, wearing someone else's pants, and says from the polling he's done he determined Jackson will win by a landslide. Nobody is voting for Taylor. Not a single person. They repeat this a few times so we know that this time it has nothing to do with Gallup Poll math. Apparently Jackson is really, really, really going to win. They all run outside to celebrate. Lorelai is left in the diner, grabbing her purse or whatever, and catches a glimpse of Taylor through the soda shoppe window. Taylor, in the near dark, quietly, sadly sucks from a whipped cream can. It is hard to tell if he's crying on the outside, but there's no question what's happening on the inside. The strummy-strummy-la-la sings in a minor key to stress how sad this is. Lorelai leaves Luke's. I have a maid of honor and a best man. Choosing the wedding party was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. I do not enjoy the Sophie's Choice nature of the whole thing.
Rally. Rory finds Lane. "You're here?" Lane says, with not near as much surprise as she's earned. Rory calls herself Lane's groupie, but tells her not to get any ideas, as she's not planning on experimenting until her junior year. Or last year's spring break. One of my honor attendants bullied me into completing our registry last week. That took so much work. And so many people just ignore the registry and buy you whatever. I had to look at macys.com for seven hours to find a towel I liked. I mean, I really like that towel, you know? We both love that towel. We went to the store and touched towels, and then we went online and found that towel and registered for them because we need towels. Our towels never recovered from the Sewage Disaster 2002-2004 in the last house, and the one thing I was looking forward to about registering for gifts was getting pretty towels. Anyway, the registry is done, mostly because the honor attendant was losing his shit over it.
