Morning. Lorelai makes a stressed noise and tells Rory that she's experiencing frustration. She can't figure out what she should wear to a graduation. Rory says it doesn't matter, since Lorelai's going to be wearing a gown. Lorelai knows it's more complicated than that, since she doesn't want to be too cold or hot before, during, or after the gown thing. Rory picks out the perfect outfit for Lorelai. What will Lorelai do when Rory goes off to college? She's incapable of feeding or dressing herself. I've also got this zit at the end of my nose and it's making me very sad. My mother's coming to visit in three days and I have a zit on the end of my nose, my toilet barely works, I've got no food in the house, and there may or may not be visitors coming to spend the night tonight. I'm supposed to have bought some kind of spare bed/futon by now, but with this plumbing problem and the fact that I'm kind of sick, I've been stuck here in my living room watching to make sure my cats don't run away from home. This is not my beautiful life. Back to the show, the thing I'm supposed to be recapping. Lorelai asks Rory what time she's getting to the ceremony. Rory says she has lots of newspaper stuff after school, but that she won't be there any later than 6 PM. Rory says that Lorelai also should pick out where she wants to eat afterwards and that it'll be Rory's treat. How does Rory make any money? ["Doesn't she work at the Inn sometimes?" -- Wing Chun] They both say they need to go, but Rory wants to see her graduate one more time before the ceremony. Lorelai asks whether she looks like she'll do okay in the world. Rory reminds her that if it doesn't work out with Lorelai's degree, she can always marry rich. Lorelai beams and says she loves that they have that option. Rory asks what Lorelai's going to do with her hair. Lorelai says she's planning on curling it. Rory tells her that she won't be able to wear her cap, then, without smooshing the curls. Lorelai thanks her daughter again for thinking of everything.
