Lorelai's walking down the street when Luke walks up and says, "Hey." Lorelai says she left a tip and it wasn't under a water glass, stuck in some syrup or all in pennies, so she doesn't know why he's hounding her. Luke says he only said "Hey." Lorelai: "Oh, hey!" Luke says she's a lot of work. Lorelai says he's a lot of work. They stop in front of a Mailboxes, Etc. Lorelai needs stamps. Luke's getting a divorce. Lorelai says that Luke can't get a divorce in a Mailboxes, Etc. By the way, Lauren Graham doesn't know how to say "et cetera." She puts an "x" in it. Lorelai says getting divorced at a Mailboxes "excetra" isn't dignified. Luke says that "crapping out" of a marriage isn't dignified either. But he really wants to not be married to Nicole anymore, and we couldn't agree more, so kindly get out of the way Lorelai so we can be done with this storyline. Lorelai wants to wait outside so he can have some privacy. Luke says he's not taking a shower, only signing a paper. He forces her inside to buy her stamps. "Lots and lots of work!" he grumbles. Since when does Lorelai honor or respect Luke's marriage?
Our Mailboxes, Etc. clerk is, of course, Kirk. Luke says he needs something notarized. Kirk tells him he has to fill something out and get a thumbprint. Luke says he knows how it works. Lorelai offers to wait until Luke's done. Luke says she needs stamps. "Just get your stamps," Luke says. Lorelai argues, so Luke says over and over again, "Just get your stamps." He comments again on the amount of work Lorelai requires. Lorelai tells Kirk she needs stamps. Kirk says that the breakfast food series just came out. Lorelai and Kirk squeal over the dancing toast. Lorelai asks if he has any Lucille Balls left. "Yes, I have some Balls," Kirk answers. They then go on and on about how much they love Bewitched, a show before our time, until Luke reminds them all that he's trying to get divorced. Lorelai apologizes and shushes Kirk.
Luke's. Lorelai enters and sits at the counter. Luke's toaster is broken, so he's fixing it. Lorelai asks Luke about his thumb. It has ink on it from the notary. Lorelai orders a cherry danish. Her cell phone rings. Luke tells her to go outside to answer it. And that's what you call "mundane."
Lorelai answers the phone. It's Rory. They pretend not to know each other, and then marvel that they have the same name. It is Rory's cell phone that Lorelai is on, that Rory called, because Rory left it at Lorelai's house after she ordered food when the fridge was empty (continuing with the mundane theme). Lorelai's other phone rings. It's Jason.
Shot of Jason driving in his convertible like Uma, talking on a hands-free. He says he's taking his one-hour lunch to go to the driving range to try to improve his sucky golf game, thereby redeeming himself in Richard's eyes.
Back to Lorelai, who compliments Digger's use of "sucky" and "thereby" in the same sentence. Rory asks whom she's talking to. Lorelai says she's talking to Digger. Luke comes out with the cherry danish and sees Lorelai on two cell phones. Lorelai tells Digger and Rory hello for each other. Luke asks whom she's talking to. "My other two personalities," Lorelai says. Lorelai makes Luke give her a bite of cherry danish. Luke goes back inside. Lorelai asks Digger for an update.
Digger doesn't exactly look where he's driving when he says his father isn't talking to him and his mother's on happy pills.
Rory screams "fire" to get her mother's attention. Since this scene isn't really working for me, I'll take this moment to tell you a story about my own family. That's what we've come to expect over the years, isn't it? Anyway, when my parents first got a speakerphone, they were so excited to have it that they would put everybody on speakerphone, no matter who was calling. Also my mom and sister (and okay, me) have this problem where when they're on the phone they also feel the need to talk to everyone around them, usually without notifying the person on the phone that there's someone else in the room getting spoken to. So when I'm talking to my sister, sometimes she'll have an entire conversation with my mom about what DVD they're going to watch after they get off the phone with me. But when there was a speakerphone it was very easy to forget that someone was even on the phone, so sometimes I'd listen to my family have lengthy discussions about dinner or shopping, forgetting that I'm sort of in the room. Then they decided that they didn't like the tinny sound of the speakerphone, so they would use the speakerphone to answer the phone and then ask you to hold on while they located the handset. One day this backfired when they couldn't find the handset. "Just talk to me," I said. "This is a speakerphone. We can talk this way." "No, honey," Mom said. "I can't hear you. You're on the speakerphone. Let us find the phone." "This is the phone," I shouted. "I know it's the phone, but I can't hear you," Dad said. "You just heard me," I said. "It's a phone. It's a phone with a speaker." "It's not a real phone," Mom said. "It's just so we can find the phone." They chatted about who had the phone last and where it could possibly be and who they called earlier and what those conversations were about. Then Dad again: "Honey? We're going to call you back. We have to find the phone. Let us hang up so we can call you later." Yeah, you want mundane, Gilmore Girls? I'll give you mundane. I can talk for hours about nothing.
Digger tells Lorelai that if he doesn't hear from Richard by 4, he'll just head over to the office. Then he reaches the driving range and says he needs to get off the phone. Lorelai asks Digger to call her later. Rory thinks Lorelai's talking to her. Lorelai tells Rory to stay on the phone. Digger thinks she's talking to him. Y'all get the rest of this scene, right? Great. Lorelai hangs up with Digger. Rory asks how everything's going with her parents. Lorelai says that Digger's making the lawsuit go away. Rory asks if Lorelai's talked to her parents yet. And just like every single episode when that question is asked, the answer is no. Lorelai asks Rory how her paper turned out. Rory says it sucked. She couldn't find the right hook, and it didn't feel good. She says Professor ParisKisser's class is very difficult. Lorelai says she's sure the paper was great. Rory: "You have to say that because you're my mother." Lorelai: "Oh, no. I'm not. I've been looking for the right time to tell you." Rory and Lorelai wrap up their call and hang up.
Lane's house. Brian and my friend Todd Lowe are playing some kind of Mortal Kombat game on the X-Box. Sebastian Bach tunes his guitar. Lane enters in a t-shirt and tie, saying that the band meeting should have started ten minutes ago. She wants to make a set list for the upcoming gig. My friend Todd Lowe says that they can hear and play at the same time. Brian asks him what he just said. My friend Todd Lowe asks Brian what he just said. Lane says she'll make the set list without them. She baits the boys into listening by suggesting that they add a little matchbox twenty to their sound. Sebastian Bach wants to put his wife on the guest list, since they got a sitter and are "free to party." Brian wants to invite his aunt, who's staying with his parents, but she'll bring Brian's cousin Turner, who is currently going through a phase where he wears a Zorro outfit everywhere. "And he's sixteen," Brian adds. My friend Todd Lowe notes that'll be one less wedding Brian will have to go to. My friend Todd Lowe hands Lane a piece of paper. It's the names of "a couple chicks" he met last night. Lane wants to know why she's suddenly in charge of the guest list. Brian says that Lane's the most reliable. "How very rock and roll," Lane pouts. My friend Todd Lowe switches out the papers when he realizes he handed Lane the wrong names. Sebastian Bach hands the band a mock-up of a flyer he made using, his sandwich shop's equipment. Instead of the band's name across it, there's currently a picture of a sandwich. This sparks a discussion about sandwiches and food, and dares they'd do just to eat good food, since they care more and more about getting something to eat and less about designing the band's flyer for the gig. Lane leaves to go get food so they can get back to work. "Thanks, Mom!" Todd Lowe shouts.
As Lane walks through the square, she sees MamaLane's house. She also sees Lane 2.0 -- a girl wearing Lane's clothes who looks just like Lane -- leaving MamaLane's house. MamaLane wraps a scarf around the girl and hands her an apple. Lane, seeing that she's been replaced by a more obedient doppelganger, is heartbroken.
Digger hits a golf ball. "Yeah, sure," he says. "That's exactly what I meant to do." Digger sees a client and tries to talk about some contract, but the client is evasive and excuses himself before Digger's even finished a sentence.
I know these paragraphs are recapping slim, but honestly that's all that's going on here. I don't know what else to tell you. Maybe I could end each paragraph with a description of one item in my purse; then you're getting more bang for your buck. Okay. Here goes. One Cool Mint Listerine PocketPak: empty. It's probably been in there, empty, for three months.
Michel is giving a tour of the Dragonfly to a group of people. We hear a horse in the background. Michel points out the deer outside. He tells the group to go look at it. He tells Lorelai he has this group of travel agents eating out of the palm of his hand, as they are so easy to please. He asks if the horses are washed, because he needs them to smell good before he brings people over. Lorelai promises they've been hosed with new car scent. Michel has this tour rigged more than Chevy Chase in Funny Farm. The agents come back. Michel stops them to say he smells something incredible. It must be Sookie's cooking. Then Sookie comes out, carried by two men, giggling because she's broken her foot or something. She tells Michel that the cookies are on the counter in the kitchen. (One movie ticket stub for 13 Going on 30, an idea I wish I'd come up with. The female Big! I'm so stupid!)
Sookie's put in a van. "I'm back!" she cheers. Then she's gone. We never see her again, so I hope she's okay. Bye, Sookie. I guess they did this so that Lorelai can be outside when Digger surprises her with his arrival. Digger says he spent the entire day trying to track down Richard. He found out that Richard is going back into business with Floyd. Lauren Graham appears to be as uninterested in this scene as I am when she whines almost emotionlessly, "What? Jason. No. My father wouldn't do that." Digger tells Lorelai about the sweet set-up Richard got for going back to Floyd. They make it sound like that was all decided after Floyd's threat of a lawsuit. But if that was true, why was Richard so smug and serene just after Digger left, when he told Emily that everything was going to be fine? Digger tells Lorelai that Richard is taking all of their clients with him. He says he thought it was one of those not-so-funny Billy-Crystal-at-the-Oscars kind of jokes. He thought Richard was doing a musical medley? Digger says all the clients are gone. Lorelai doesn't understand how Richard could just take the business from him. Digger laughs, saying that Richard left the business to Digger. There are still pens and paper clips. There just aren't any clients. Lorelai asks why Richard would do that. Digger says it's brilliant and perfect. The lawsuit's dropped, and Richard makes bank and is sitting pretty. Digger says that Richard has ruined his reputation around town. Digger whines that he'll have to move to Houston, where all the financial wash-ups live. Digger wouldn't last a day in Houston. Lorelai asks what she can do. Digger says he just needed to vent. Lorelai touches his hand and says, "Come here." Digger says he can't, kisses her cheek, and says he'll call her later. He leaves. Lorelai pouts. (One tiny plastic bottle of barbecue sauce. I was in Kansas City two weekends ago and this was a gift. Oh, like you've never had a condiment in your purse for weeks.)
The most obvious sign in the world informs us that we're at the "Yale Book Store." You know. That one. Also: Don't those smarties know "bookstore" isn't two words? Michael York reads from his book to a crowd of mostly girls. I guess we're supposed to think that York is a hot professor? ["Yeah. I'm not buying what they're selling." -- Wing Chun] York finishes with a line, "like oil from Iraq," and girls swoon. The crowd applauds. The gushing bookstore woman thanks him for the moving excerpt. She flirts all over him and then gives a detailed description of how one gets a book signed and then where to go to pay for the book. Do we need all of this? It's like, really interesting things are going on, like divorces, broken marriages, broken ankles, financial ruin, and (soon) a separation. And we're stuck watching people fix toasters, line up for a book signing, discuss sandwiches and talk about cell phones. Either give us the good stuff or fill the mundane with subtext. Or at the very least -- jokes. Paris tells Rory that York was great. He's commanding and an extraordinary public speaker, not to mention sexy. She looks at all the young co-eds throwing themselves at York. (One receipt for when I mailed Mom the clothe she accidentally left in the hotel closet in Kansas City.)
We watch a redhead flirt with York. He flirts back. (Two lipsticks, two lip glosses, and one balm.)
Paris asks Rory if she wants to go up and say hello. Rory doesn't. Paris says that they won't be bothering York, because she's his girlfriend. She asks Rory if she's hiding because of her paper. Rory says she doesn't want to be reminded of how much it sucks. Paris shows Rory how the book is dedicated to her, even though it doesn't say her name: "To a wise, willful, wonderful woman." Paris snaps at Rory for questioning why York didn't write Paris name. She tells Rory not to take her loser paper out on her. Paris leaves to get him some water. Rory apologizes, and says that the dedication is nice. "Thanks," says Paris, before looking around the room at all the girls waiting to flirt with her man. "Oh, yes. Like they read," she scoffs. (One set of Topps 21 Jump Street collectible cards. Unopened. I should have bought two so I could see what one looks like inside. I'm so dumb! It's from the coolest little ice cream/ candy shop/ diner in San Francisco, in the Mission.)
And then randomly Rory walks over to Doyle, who complains that there are four women from his staff here. He plans on running a review of the book in the paper. Blah blah blah, Doyle tells Rory that every year York has another young student whom he dates for the year, breaking up with her by the summertime. He says he doesn't know who this year's Oleanna is, but he guesses York's trolling for year, with eyes on the flirty redhead. (One packet Emer'gen-C vitamin powder.)
Emily's. The maid answers the door. Lorelai describes her father. The maid says he's in the living room. Lorelai enters. The maid shuts the door. (Three Ricola lozenges.)
Richard's reading a book. He says he didn't know Lorelai was coming over. Lorelai says she called. Richard says he wasn't in the mood to talk. Lorelai says that they need to. Richard says he wants to read. Lorelai asks why he's doing this. Richard says that reading is good for you. You learn things. Lauren Graham is wearing the wrong pants and jacket for this profile shot. She says that Digger was Richard's partner. Richard wants to go to his office to discuss this, but Lorelai's already in pouty daughter mode. She says that Digger was supposed to take care of this. Richard says that this is business, and that he did what he had to do. Lorelai says he didn't have to do this to Digger. Richard thanks Lorelai for her opinion. Lorelai asks why he'd go back to a company that was so horrible to him. She says she doesn't understand. She asks if this is because she is dating Digger. Richard shouts that Floyd threatened to go after everything Richard and Emily had. Emily starts to walk downstairs, but stops to listen. Lorelai says that there has to be something else Richard can do. Richard tells her to go home. Lorelai apologizes for lying about dating Digger. She begs him not to destroy him like this. Richard says he's hardly destroying him. Lorelai says that Digger has nothing and might have to move. Richard: "So what?" Lorelai says that she's in a relationship with Digger, and can't have him move. Richard says that she could move with Digger, if she loves him so much. Lorelai says she can't move. She's got Rory and the Dragonfly. Richard says she should have thought of that before she started seeing Digger. He says he's tired of Lorelai showing absolutely no concern over what happens to him or Emily: "The only thing you care about is what happens to your boyfriend! And the worst part of it is that I never expected you to act any differently." Neither did we. Actually, we're a little surprised she even cares about the boyfriend. Usually they're just Kleenex. (One Albuterol inhaler. Recently expired.)
Richard tries to read his book. Emily enters. She asks if it's necessary to go after Digger. Emily's concerned because it took a long time to get Lorelai back into the house and she's dating Digger. She doesn't want Richard's actions to drive Lorelai away again because if she goes, Rory might go too. Richard knows they've got Rory under a financial obligation, so she's not going anywhere, and Lorelai lied to both of her parents. They can't control what Lorelai will do. Richard says he's doing what he has to do. Emily gets a superior look on her face and storms out of the office. (One Sephora mirror. Pink.)
Lane is ranting on the phone to Rory about the girl living in her house. Rory is walking to her dorm, telling Lane she's overreacting. Lane is upset that the girl is wearing Lane's clothes, even though they're the clothes she doesn't really like. Rory isn't so good with the commiserating, and is mostly telling Lane that this is no big deal. But it's a huge deal to see someone replace you. I got upset to find out that my old bedroom had become the computer room. It's traumatic. It's finding out that you weren't as necessary as you thought. Rory tells Lane that it was her choice not to live there. Lane says that MamaLane found a new daughter, and that this one can probably needlepoint. Rory says that she has to go, since Paris is only letting her have ten minutes on her cell phone. Lane asks if Rory's going to go to her gig. Rory -- who probably doesn't even know what instrument Lane plays -- says she can't miss a Friday-night dinner for Lane's improbably early gig. Lane tells Rory that they'll have other gigs, but the other Lane will probably be in the band by then. Rory hangs up. She's reached the pile of papers from York's class, where one student is celebrating his B minus. He says it's like an "A" from anyone else. Rory pulls out her paper. Precious Princess scored an A. Yale's a fucking breeze for this kid. (One tiny container of Purell Hand Sanitizer. I have a knack for resting my hand on discarded wads of gum when I'm in public.)
Rory is trying to study, but people are having a party upstairs. She bangs the ceiling with a broomstick, but that doesn't help. She tries to study again, and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Man, nothing's happening in this episode. Lorelai shows up at Rory's dorm to return her phone and tell her she's skipping this week's Friday-night dinner, as Richard's really mad at her. Rory won't let her mom skip the dinner, since it's the only time she gets to see her entire family, and she doesn't think that whatever happened could possibly be that bad. To her credit, Lorelai won't tell Rory what Richard said to her. (That might be mostly because it was the truth.) Rory thinks Lorelai should go to the dinner, and won't take no for an answer. She thinks they should give Richard a chance to make things right. They've got Rory in this weird light that makes her look like she's got a zit. Rory promises to be Lorelai's buffer during dinner. The noise starts upstairs again. (Wallet.)
Lane, waiting tables at Luke's, orders a grilled cheese sandwich from Cesar. Kirk asks Lane about the flyer for her band. He wants to know how he can get the sandwich. Lane explains that the sandwich isn't supposed to be on the sandwich. Kirk asks if he can bring his own sandwich. Luke asks Lane to wait on her break while Cesar goes to the bank. Cesar gives Lane the grilled cheese sandwich, which she drops to run outside when she sees Lane 2.0 walking by. I guess Lane's taking that break now. Hope she doesn't get fired. (Dayplanner. I used to have a Handspring, but it kept crashing. I'm back to paper organizers now.)
Lane stops Lane 2.0 and asks a barrage of questions about who she is, where she came from, and what she's doing here. The girl explains that she's an exchange student from Korea, staying with MamaLane. Lane says she's MamaLane's daughter. Lane 2.0 asks why Lane's so mad. Lane says that the girl is trying to steal her life, wearing her clothes, sleeping in her bed, living with her mom. Lane 2.0 begins shrieking in Korean. Lane yells back in English, and eventually Lane 2.0 runs away. Lane tells her to give back her sweater and second-least-favorite scarf. (Six pennies, three nickels, a quarter.)
Asher Fleming/Michael York wraps up his class. they'll be discussing Kafka's The Trial. As the students leave, the professor compliments Rory again on her paper. Rory confesses that she thought her paper was stinky. York tells her that it was very good. Rory says she was questioning her grade, since she knows the wise, willful, and wonderful woman. York, insulted, tells Rory that she was graded fairly, and that there was only one other person who got an A (gee, wonder who? ["but is Paris even in that class?" -- Wing Chun]); he cautions Rory not to question his grades again. He's so going to try to sleep with Rory in three weeks. Rory thanks him for the A. "And the redhead has fat thighs," she uncharacteristically adds at the end before leaving the room. York looks aggravated. (One restaurant mint wrapper. Empty.)
Rory drags Lorelai to Emily's door. Lorelai says that she'd rather take her time, since they're early. Rory tells her to stop being ridiculous. At the door, Lorelai pouts and whines, wondering which tack Richard will pick with her tonight. Will he be silent, or launch a full-out frontal assault? Maybe he'll be quiet and let Emily be on the attack. Lorelai says that they can still leave, and that this is the point in the horror movie where the audience tells them to run away. Rory rings the doorbell. Richard answers, flustered, and says the girls are early. Rory says they didn't hit any traffic. Richard invites them in. (Pen cap.)
Richard cheerfully asks the girls if they hit much traffic. Rory says they didn't. Richard says that traffic can ruin your day. He offers to make them drinks. But there's no ice, so Richard heads to the kitchen to get some. Rory tells Lorelai that Richard doesn't seem mad. Lorelai says that depends on which definition of "mad" Rory means. Emily sneaks in, carrying a jacket. Caught, she confesses that she was just at the store, but that they were out of what she was looking for. Richard comes back in, saying that the girls were early. Emily asks if he's holding ice. Richard drops some. Emily picks it up, scolding him for not taking the bucket into the kitchen. Like they wouldn't have the maids doing all of this, especially during what we're about to find out is going on. Richard makes drinks. Emily sits, clutching her purse, and asks Rory how school is. Rory says she just got an A on the paper. Lorelai asks Emily if she's going to keep squeezing her purse like that. Emily says it's new, and that she's breaking it in. Lorelai: "Sure. Otherwise you'd...get blisters." Richard hands them their drinks. They drink. Richard asks Rory how school is. Rory says she just got an A on the paper. The maid announces that dinner is ready. Everyone is flabbergasted. The maid apologizes, explaining that Emily never told her what time she wanted dinner. Emily says that they could just eat now. Lorelai is shocked that they'd eat so early, and even more amazed when Emily says they can just bring their drinks to the dinner table. Richard grabs some cocktail napkins. Lorelai decides to make a drinking game out of her parents' repetitive questions. (Two loose dollar bills.)
Awkward dinner. No talking. The maid clears the plates. Lorelai asks what's for dessert. Emily says there is none. More shock. Emily says she's on a diet. Richard says Americans are too fat. Rory tells Emily that she's not fat, and Emily thanks Lorelai for the compliment. Lorelai says they should just leave, then. Richard and Emily are already out of their seats. Emily gives Lorelai and Rory bags of chocolate from friends of theirs. Richard and Emily pretty much push the girls out of the house. (Book where ideas are scribbled.)
Lorelai asks what the hell that was. "Jack Nicholson and Angelina Jolie just kicked us out with parting gifts." I don't get that line. Because they're acting crazy? Emily's car is in the driveway, which raises a red flag for Lorelai. The girls hide in the bushes when they hear Emily approaching. They watch as Emily gets in her car and drives away. The girls wonder where Emily could be going. Lorelai realizes that her mother might not be sleeping at that house tonight. (Uncashed check for fifty dollars.)
The band plays another cover song. I wish they could write their own songs. Let Sebastian rock out! Some kid in the audience is singing the words into his cell phone and then holding his cell phone up for the parts where my friend Todd Lowe isn't singing. Way to ruin your bootleg, dude. Sebastian Bach messes up, singing on a part that isn't his. The song ends, and then they all stand around onstage congratulating each other, chatting it up. Ah, television gigs. How completely unrealistic you are. Brian leaves to hang out with his family. Dude. Cousin Turner in his Zorro outfit is hilarious. Sebastian Bach leaves to make out with his wife. Lane and my friend Todd Lowe share a flirty moment. No, Lane! You've got a boyfriend! He's awesome! Then again, he's having sex with girls in Orange County, so maybe you should get some band lovin'. They reuse a line they've already had Lane say, as she wishes they could stay out late tonight planning their "Rolling Stones [sic] cover." Just then, groupies show up to skank off with (mf) Todd Lowe. Lane looks around and sees she's the only person without someone because Rory sucks. (Gum. Three sticks. Extra Wintergreen.)
The la's narrate as Lane breaks into her own house, goes up to her bedroom, and sees Lane 2.0 asleep in her bed. (Sunglasses.)
Lane enters MamaLane's room and kisses her sleeping mother's head. MamaLane sleeps on one side of the bed, so we still don't solve the mystery of PapaLane. I can't wait to meet him. (Cell phone.)
We're at that random coffee shop where Lorelai takes people when she's going to deliver bad news like "I'm not going to marry you." She's with Digger. She tells him that she called every hotel in the area with a decent high tea and found Emily in the Grafton Hotel with an indefinite check-out date. Lorelai can't believe her parents have separated, no matter how much she dreamed about it as a kid. She says she also imagined her mom finding her inner Timothy Leary and then moving them out to a Berkeley commune. She knows now that Richard and Emily Gilmore were made for each other. She says it's more frustrating that they won't ever talk about it, because the Gilmores believe in repressing emotions and then using them as weapons on each other. She wonders if they're going to pretend every Friday that nothing's wrong. Lorelai says it's weird that her mother's living in a hotel. Digger tells Lorelai that he's suing Richard. He says he has to. "No, you don't," Lorelai says. Digger says he has to respond, or his entire career will be destroyed. Lorelai asks him to find a different way to do it. Digger hopes Richard will settle. "It's just business," he says. Lorelai suddenly hates Digger, and gets this look on her face, saying she's sick of people saying that lately. Digger says he has no choice. Lorelai tells him not to be just a business guy, and to put this on another level. Digger says he has to fight back, but that he'll keep her out of this. And then, also uncharacteristically, Lorelai tells Digger that she can't date someone who's suing her family. Really? Because that used to be the one line that could always get her into bed. Digger says Richard destroyed him, and that Richard won't stop until there's nothing left. Lorelai insists that he can't do this. Digger says he has to. Lorelai says she can't be with him if he's going to sue her father. Lorelai struts on out of there, and Digger's alone as we fade to black. (Flyer for a show I'll never see.)
