Episode Report Card Pamie: C | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Being An Asshole Is Really Expensive

People are playing games with mallets and litters. Rory holds her notebook and wanders through the festivities.
Now society members are flinging themselves onto large mats while other men shoot corks at them, skeet-style. Finn, doing his best Robert Downey Jr., declares himself bored, and says he's next to be a target. Rory asks if this is the big stunt. Logan asks her if it looks like the big stunt. Rory guesses no. Logan tells her she answered her own question, and that Rory will know the stunt when she sees it. Colin comes by on a stretcher, telling Logan he missed the mat. "I'll be fine," he whimpers. "Don't worry about me!" He adds, "In Omnia!" which means, "In all!" Logan laughs and keeps shooting.
Golf. I fall into a deep sleep. Luke's caddy helps Luke to select the right clubs, which is how people play golf, isn't it? Luke doesn't hit the ball very well, I guess, because he's grumpy. Richard asks Luke what his main hobby is. Luke asks his caddy, who suggests reading. Luke says he likes reading. Richard asks what he recently read. "Books, you know. This, that." Luke then has a hard time remembering the words "Philip K. Dick," and ends up accidentally calling Richard a dick a few times. Richard says he'll type "dick" on the internet and see what comes up. Heh. Richard apologizes to the group waiting to hit their balls, explaining that Luke is new. Luke hits a guy in a cart. Richard and Luke walk to the next...putter place, as Richard asks Luke when he's going to franchise the diner. He tells Luke exactly how to do it, and which people from the club Luke should get to help him with this business venture. Richard wants Luke to get a straight razor shave. I can't argue with that suggestion.
If there was a picture in the last episode of people jumping off a scaffolding holding umbrellas, why is it a huge surprise that they're about to do it again? Rory tells Logan that she worries those people will die. Logan explains that there's room for one more after him, because Finn didn't make it this far. Rory realizes what he means. "No!" she says. Logan says they won't die, because nobody in the Life and Death Brigade has ever died, despite the ominous-sounding name. A guy named Seth tells Rory that it's very safe, and that not one potato on the test drop was harmed. I just realized that sash they threw around Rory is to hide her body mic. You can tell how it's clipped to the front of her gown. Rory tries to back out, saying she's a journalist and not a participant. Logan goes down a list of great journalists who were great because they threw themselves into the thick of it. Now, most of those journalists are dead or crazy, but that's good enough for Rory, who realizes she's going to have to jump. Stee just walked over, watched six seconds over my shoulder, and then said: "What a dumb guy. Is that the love interest? Is he wearing a wig?" Stee, who wanted nothing more than for Luke and Lorelai to get together because he loves Luke more than a straight man should, has stopped watching this show. I think that really says something. It also means Stee saw the top half of the gown, but that's the part that looks the least like what I'll be wearing. I'm not going to stress about it. Our wedding will be fantastic!
