At the Dragonfly, Sookie is busy whipping her kitchen staff into shape as they scramble around prepping for lunch. "Okay," she says, "if you could travel back in time and make me NOT make the veal and ham pâté, I'd appreciate it. Talk me out of these things in the future, guys." Oh, I'd have talked you out of such a thing in the past, present, pluperfect, and future. Veal and ham pâté? Will I ever eat again?! Lorelai comes in and asks that Sookie step away from the stove. "Honey," Sookie says, "do you see a joystick? This is not a game." Lorelai repeats the order and finally Sookie complies, turning around sighing and asking what the big deal is. Lorelai shouts out "OKAY" and Rory comes in, causing Sookie to flail excitedly and knock out a passing member of her staff. Mushrooms go flying, but nobody cares, and I guess the guy on the floor could die for all anybody notices. Sookie squeals, "[Rory's] here!" It's all too much for Sookie, whose worlds collide as she realizes that Rory's being back means there are no impediments to Lorelai and Luke's setting a wedding date. She hyperventilates, saying she was just making her list for Thanksgiving dinner, wishing Rory would be there, and now she is. "Oh my God," she gasps, "what if what I'm wishing for is actually coming true?" Lorelai's eyebrows shoot up: "Quick! Wish for a Sephora to be built within walking distance!" Now I must tell you the story of the time we were in Los Angeles in a restaurant and my husband Chris invoked the name of that annoying dude from the second season of Project Greenlight and the guy WALKED IN THE DOOR fifteen seconds later. We tried so hard to make a million dollars fall from the sky after that, but it didn't work.
