Luke walks outside the Dragonfly as Lorelai follows him, saying that she's not taken. She says she and Digger broke up. Luke says that Digger doesn't know that. Lorelai tells Luke to calm down. At this point, all of Stars Hollow should be peeking out of their windows, unless those new doors are really well made. Luke says he did everything right and did everything the book said and he thought they were on track and now she's looking at him like he's crazy. Lorelai says she's not. Luke tells her he's never bought flowers for anybody before ever. Lorelai says she loved the flowers. Luke says he thought there was a moment after he walked her home from the wedding. Lorelai says there was a moment. Luke stares at her. "There was a moment," she says again. The guitar strums a bit, prompting us to sit up a little straighter, maybe grab a hand to hold. Luke leans in, and Lorelai leans back, asking him what he's doing. "Will you just stand still?" he asks. They kiss. They stop kissing. Lorelai leans in. Luke leans back, asking her what she's doing. Lorelai asks him to just stand still. They kiss again. As they go to kiss a third time, it's not Digger's pained scream that interrupts them. It is Kirk, naked with a pillow over his crotch, as he runs from the inn in terror. Luke goes to follow him, telling Lorelai he'll explain later.
Lorelai runs into her house, calling Rory's name. She tells Rory that she's missing everything. Lorelai runs upstairs and tells Rory to come back with the CDs before the midgets arrive. Lorelai runs back downstairs, telling Rory that Kirk's running around naked through the square. She's come back to the house to get Band-Aids and a camera. She says that after all this time you'd think she'd remember "Kirk equals camera."
Looking disheveled and guilty, Rory steps out of her bedroom. Lorelai says hello. Seconds later, sheepish and just a little too happy, CuteDean steps out of the bedroom. "Dean came over to borrow something," Rory says. "Yeah," CuteDean says. Yeah. Her innocence. The look on Lorelai's face is perfect: swallowing the desire to scream and wail, the burning behind the eyes, the need to beat that boy up until his dick falls off. CuteDean says he should go, and says goodbye to Lorelai. "Bye, Dean!" Rory says loudly. Ah, isn't that how we all want to lose our virginity? Quickly throwing our clothes back on and then not even a kiss goodnight as he leaves out the back door when our moms come home? Love. True love.
