Rory goes on and on to Marty about how frustrating Logan is and finally, thankfully, wonderfully, Marty has had enough. "Oh, stop it," he says. "He likes you." Rory plays the complete idiot, protesting, saying there's no way someone who liked her would do what he did in her classroom. Marty isn't having it: "Attention like that from people like Logan is like being tapped. You've been anointed. You're in." Rory still pretends she doesn't understand, so Marty says, "He likes you. Stop being so naïve. It's annoying." Keep going, Marty! Tell her everything else she does that sucks. Rory's cell phone rings, and for a second I think it's my own phone and dammit, I hate it when that happens. It's Headmaster Charleston, asking Rory how Anna's seemingly endless tour is going. Rory says it's going great: "Everything's great." Headmaster Charleston says this means he can inform Anna's parents that the underage girl the Yale campus police picked up from a party is not their daughter. Rory apologizes: "I tried. I just...I turned around for a moment." Headmaster Charleston doesn't want to hear it and hangs up, wishing her good luck at Yale. Rory mopes and complains that the girl spent one day with her and got sent home by the police and now she's going to retroactively flunk high school. Marty (and we) cannot stop rolling the eyeballs. Rory has become insufferable this season. "Crappy, crappy day," Rory says, offering to treat Marty to a cab that happens to be right there. Marty puts Rory in the cab, but decides to walk home. He slams the door on her and leaves. Keep walking, Marty. Never look back. Go date anyone else on that campus. Date Logan before you date Rory. In fact: yes. Please date Logan.
Miss Patty's party. Sookie is wearing...a cake, it seems. Who put that woman in that outfit? ["I think I tried on that dress at Anthropologie when I was looking for something to wear to your wedding, and...yeah. Looks so pretty on the hanger, but when you put it on, it's beeeyad." -- Wing Chun] Lorelai is sniffing herself, commenting that she smells like trees. Sookie does, too. Lorelai calls themselves the crazy pine-scented ladies. So are those Murphy's Oil church ladies. Lorelai zones off, thinking about Luke. I stare at Sookie's tan line. Miss Patty wears what appears to be a bat costume and starts her stage show. Kirk misses his line because he's reading Yoga for Dummies. Miss Patty launches into "The Coffee Song," which could also be the theme for this show. You can tell they put this in later because the extras are just bopping their heads along to no beat at all, not knowing what the hell this song is so they can't even fake it. Nobody's moving in the same rhythm. Lorelai sees Luke moping outside the window. Looks like anti-social moping is a family trait. Lorelai heads outside.
