Jen holds up a kutesy kraft and demands of Grams, "What is this?" Grams responds, "It's a decorated clothespin to seal open potato chip bags." Jen frowns, "Of course it is." Jen then informs Grams that Whit is coming over to their booth again, and that if he asks Grams out again, Grams should say yes this time. Whit holds a long-stemmed red rose aloft and says, "I won't take no for an answer. You wouldn't make an old man eat alone?" Grams starts to blow him off again, but when he sighs, she gives in and says she'll go, and they arrange to meet at eight o'clock. He hands her the rose, and she smiles in spite of herself. Then Grams starts freaking out, and Jen asks what about, and if she feels guilty about Gramps, and tells Grams she shouldn't feel guilty because "he'd want you to go on with your life." Grams fiddles with the rose and shakes her head: "That part of my life is over. There, there, there are certain things in life I've said goodbye to." Jen rests her head on Grams's shoulder as Grams continues, "Besides, look at me. I graduated from high school with Whit Hubley, and look at me -- I look old enough to be his mother." Jen offers to introduce Grams to some wonderful women that she knows, "Miss Clairol and Estee Lauder." Jen does not explain why, if Whit already asked Grams out, Grams needs a makeover.
Pacey does his bad ventriloquism routine with Captain Skippy. A kid in the crowd calls Captain Skippy "a big fat smelly jerk," to which Pacey/Captain Skippy responds, "I know you are but what am I?" The kids says it back, and then Pacey stands up and snarls it in his regular voice, which shuts the kid up but good. Then Pacey ducks inside Captain Skippy's "doghouse" to take a break. Nobody explains why we had to sit through this scene.
In Madame Z's tent, Andie has her palm read. She stares expectantly at the fortune teller as a gigantic crystal revolves overhead, then smiles nervously and asks, "What do you see?" Madame Z looks up at Andie; she doesn't seem too eager to share. Then the psychic wind blows through and snuffs out Madame Z's candle. Andie looks worried. Oooooooh, symbolism.
