Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Hello. Hello.

(00:02):
So what, no fucking ziti now?
Don't make me laugh.
Hi, welcome to you know that episode. I'm Victoria.
And I'm Trev. We're two friends who watch too much TV.
We break down iconic episodes of good shows.
And bad.
And explain why we feel the way we do.
Today we're talking about season 5 episode 11 of Gilmore Girls titled Women of Questionable Morals which aired on January 25th, 2005.

(00:27):
I like, one thing we don't talk about enough when it comes to Gilmore Girls is how fucking funny the episode titles are.
Mm-hmm. Right?
This took me pink.
It's so like thoughtful in a way. Like you read it and you think it's random and then you watch the episode and you realize there's a purpose behind it.
Yeah and it's almost always like a quote from the episode. Like same thing as the one we talked about last week.

(00:52):
Yep.
Where it's just, it always gets me together. I love it.
You could tell every, like, it just makes me happy.
It makes me so happy too.
But it also plays into like later on in the episode, Lorelai not being honest with Luke.
And it also plays into Rory not being honest with Lorelai that her dad came to visit.

(01:13):
I hate Christopher.
I hate Christopher. This is such a Christopher episode.
They really tried to make me feel bad for Christopher in this episode.
It didn't work.
Unfortunately for you, Amy Sherman Palladino, it didn't fucking work.
It did not work.
I hate him just as much as I always did.
I hated him more after re-watching it.
Yes! Okay, yes.
Alright, let's start with the fact that this is my pick for number two. I want to talk about why a little bit.

(01:38):
It's a banger.
It is such a banger. The main reason is, I feel like it's one of those episodes where we kind of talked about this in the first episode where I was telling you how much I love Emily Gilmore and how the lens that we see Emily through towards the beginning of the show
and most of the episodes where Lorelai and Emily are interacting, the lens is very much trying to show us how...

(02:02):
Emily's kind of mean.
Yeah, through Lorelai's perspective.
Yeah.
It's purposefully done that way so that we sympathize with Lorelai.
But on episodes where we see them by themselves, like interacting with each other, like I love when Emily interacts with Richard by herself.
Especially in this episode.
This episode was really, really good.

(02:24):
It's so sweet.
It's like we understand her character motivations a little bit better when we're not forced to see her through Lorelai's eyes.
Yeah, absolutely.
Like the episode right before this is the episode where she goes on a date with one of Richard's like friends or whatever.
But way later, way later, not way later, but like a few episodes from now after they agree to get back together and have their vow or nuul,

(02:47):
Richard finds out that he asked her on a date and like punches him in the face.
Yeah, and I will say this episode, like when I first started it, because it's...
We're jumping around, obviously.
I watched the recap, loved the recap.
The recap had moments from like season two in it.
I was like, what?
It went back deep.
It was a great recap.

(03:08):
It reminded me of a lot of state.
And it wasn't just like a...
It all made sense, which is why they were telling me about it.
And seeing Emily cry after the date broke me.
I completely forgot about that.
It made me so sad.
It was such a...
Like, not to say...
Tender.
Yeah, Gilmore Girls has a lot of moments like that that are sad or kind of like...
I don't know, like...

(03:29):
Pointy it.
Pointy it, but there's always like a bit of a comedic edge to it still.
Yeah.
That one just felt really sad.
Yeah.
Like no...
She's devastated.
No button.
No button on it.
I feel like this really is signaling the end of my marriage.
Yeah.
And she still loves Richard.
And I think we see a lot of that in this episode.
Yeah.

(03:50):
Like how good they are together.
Yeah.
Which we don't really see a lot in general.
It just sucks really bad that in a couple of episodes, they're gonna have their vow renewal.
And like everything with the whole Lorelai Luke Christopher Love Trangle goes downhill from this episode.
Yeah.

(04:11):
And the episode that kicked that off pretty much.
And we don't worry, we will be talking about the vow renewal episode.
Oh God.
Hi.
You chose that as one of yours?
I love that episode.
Fuck.
No.
I'm sorry.
I love that episode too.
I kind of like it when men chase after Lorelai, but she's so busy with Luke that she just doesn't care.
But I love it when people are obsessed with Lorelai.

(04:34):
I love it.
Yeah.
Because you are.
I don't root for Christopher, but I'm like, yeah, it makes complete sense that he can't get over it.
It makes sense.
Especially the fact that they have a kid together.
And we see in this episode, his relationship with her starts to build.
Fuck.
Which pisses me off to no end and we'll get to that.
Yeah.
But yeah, I really, I loved the recap.

(04:55):
It was a good recap.
So we open on Luke and Lorelai sleeping in Luke's bed.
Which I want this as wallpaper.
I have a hard time believing the fact that they would spend the night at Luke's.
Every time I see them at Luke's apartment, it just makes me feel so weird.
It's like she has a huge house.

(05:17):
Why would they, I don't know, I just find it weird that they would.
I kind of believe it.
I kind of believe it.
Because it's so much more, it's weirdly more intimate because Luke is so private.
Yeah.
I mean, I get that aspect of it, but I'm just saying like, at the same time, it's like,
in what world would Lorelai be like, yeah, I would rather spend the night at your apartment.

(05:40):
I think in this one.
I don't believe it.
You don't have to.
It's on the TV, baby.
Anyways.
So we open them up, we open up on them in bed together and Lorelai wakes up like immediately
out of a dead sleep.
Like a shock.
Yeah.
And she's like, oh my God, it's gonna snow and like wakes up Luke and Luke is like fast
to sleep, doesn't want to get out of bed.

(06:02):
No nonsense.
The shit that he does for her because like, if this was my woman, I would kill her.
I would be like you and I are both Luke's.
I was like in this relationship, I think you and I are both Luke.
Really?
I know I am.
Bernie has told me before that she thinks I'm more Lorelai.
Okay.

(06:23):
Only because sometimes she can be kind of curmudgeony about like certain things.
Like I'm definitely more of a grump than Tony and like more of a home body and everything
like that.
I see and Bernie is like that.
I love going out and maybe maybe maybe you're the Lorelai.
I think I have moments of both.
It depends.
Yeah, of course.

(06:43):
There's a duality of my Libra, but I lean definitely more Luke just like very in this moment.
I'm totally Luke.
If Bernie woke me up because she was excited about snow outside, I would be like you're
like baby from New England.
You're waking me up for this.
No.
Yeah.
I literally texted Tony and I was like am I more of a Luke or Lorelai?

(07:03):
They said Luke.
Let me text Bernie.
People who love winter are insane.
I love the aesthetic of winter and I don't generally mind the cold.
No, but I'm saying people who are like fanatics of winter.
Like we're not talking about oh I don't mind it.
I'm indifferent to it.
People who are like I love winter.
I love being so cold.
I love when my snot turns into an icicle.

(07:26):
Like girl.
I think I will say this may be controversial.
I think I'd prefer winter being cold to being hot.
I don't know if it's controversial.
I'd rather it be too.
I think I'd rather be too cold.
Okay.
Especially if I'm going somewhere because I could always put layers on to warm up.
I can only get so naked.

(07:46):
You know what I mean?
I definitely would rather be hot.
I like being hot.
You know what I love?
I hate it.
And this is gonna piss people off, but that's why I have a podcast.
I get to say whatever I want.
Well, what is it?
Even if it's inflammatory.
I love in the summertime when you park your car at the beach or like somewhere and then
you're gone for like eight hours and then you go back to the car and you open the door

(08:09):
and it's so hot and suffocating inside that you're like gonna die.
Oh my God.
I love that feeling.
You're, that's the craziest thing I think you've ever said to me.
I don't know why I find it so comforting.
You could pull a hundred fucking 50, you could pull 150,000 fucking people right now and ask

(08:30):
them if they like that feeling and they would all say no.
Not me.
That's crazy.
I love it.
Oh my God.
It's like, it's like you're kind of like in a sauna almost.
Have you ever been in a sauna?
No.
Okay.
Sauna, it's like similar to that kind of experience.
Like your whole body envelopes, your whole body is enveloped in heat.

(08:52):
It feels so good.
I hate that.
I don't like being warm.
Okay.
Anyways.
I sleep with my window open in the winter.
Like I was saying before, people who love winter are insane.
I don't even like winter.
I don't even like winter like that.
I don't, I just would, I prefer to be too cold than too hot.

(09:12):
Okay.
Anyways.
I'm a fall bitch at the end of the day.
We have to come back to the episode now because at this point.
I'm team, Lorela and me, same team.
So.
Winter lovers.
Winter respecters.
Okay.
Well, anyways, she drags his ass outside and he's like ready to kill her.
It's so cute.

(09:32):
This is one of the cutest scenes I have.
Yeah.
And, and he's like, okay, I'm going back in now.
The weatherman said that it wasn't going to snow, so it's not going to snow.
And then it snows.
And he's like, what the fuck?
The weathermen were wrong.
And then he's like, you can only stay out here for one more minute and then you have
to come back in.
It's so cute.
He's so good to her.
He's so good.
He's like very patient with her and it's very endearing.

(09:53):
He loves her not in spite of her eccentric stuff, like because of it.
He loves that she's a weirdo.
There's a line at the end of the episode that I think really highlights that when he's like,
I'm grumpy about stuff, but I don't want you to be.
It's literally, I was watching that and it made me tear up.
Like he loves her.
It's probably my favorite line in the whole episode.

(10:15):
He loves everything about her.
Yeah.
And that's like even the things that piss you off about your partner, you should love
them.
100%.
He's a big baby.
He's a big baby.
Then we open on Luke Steiner in the morning and the Civil War reenactment has kicked off,
which I feel like this storyline only appeared like two times.

(10:37):
It's a couple times.
Wait, isn't it American Revolution?
I don't know.
I think so.
Cause he's a tailor at the end.
Spoiler is wearing a red coat.
Okay.
I don't know anything about US history.
Me either.
I'm gay.
It's a war reenactment.
Yeah.
It's lame.
At the end of the day, it's fucking lame.
Bernie says Lorelai.
I agree.
Okay.

(10:58):
We've come to our consensus.
Okay.
In a way, I kind of feel like it makes sense because like the whole like obsessed with
media kind of chatty, overly caffeinated aspect of it.
Yeah.
It makes a lot of sense.
I don't think anyone would be surprised.
But the New Englander in me has moments of Luke.
Yeah.

(11:19):
I think that's a given.
I think we see Lorelai have a couple Luke moments in this episode.
Yeah.
I agree.
She gets a little grumpy at times, but it's still like nice because she's just how she
is.
Right.
Anyway, the group of the, the re war reenactment looks like the gayest group of men I've ever
seen.
I was going to say the same exact thing.
This is a fruity group of men.

(11:40):
Yeah.
And he's like, when they're talking about what they should call the whore, yeah, they're
like, Oh, why don't you just call her a prostitute?
And he's like, it's too Beretta.
Please.
It's like, just call her that.
Like it's so like, it's so funny.

(12:00):
The list that they're going through and their reasons not for using it.
Oh my God.
It's just such a silly group of men.
And like, I have a note here that says Taylor.
I'm going to burn your house down.
I think Taylor has a little crush on the Reverend.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I have a crush on the Reverend.
He's hot.
He reminds me of somebody.

(12:21):
He looks like, I know who you're thinking of because I thought the same thing, but I
cannot for the life of me.
Fuck.
Put a finger on who it is.
It's the guy, it's the guy from the X files.
David Dacovney.
No, the other guy, the older guy.
Oh, I've never seen the X files.
We've talked about this.
Yeah.
Hang on.

(12:42):
Wait.
Oh, for fuck's sake.
The cigarette guy.
What did I just tell you?
Yeah.
Anyway.
I can't help here.
He reminds me of that guy.
Oh my God.
Wait, I'm looking at hot topics, breaking news.
I mean, not breaking, but.
What?
Did you see that Richard Belzer died today?
Oh, yeah.
So sad.

(13:03):
I bring that up because he was in the X files, I guess it says here.
Yeah.
Gosh.
So sad.
But he was old.
Yeah.
But still sad.
Oh my God.
At least it wasn't like tragic.
Right.
You know.
Yeah.
I mean, it's been all over the timeline today.
It just happened today.
Yeah.
So, so sad.

(13:23):
Did you see Mirish Gahargette's post?
No, but I saw Chris's post on Twitter.
Oh, I haven't seen that yet.
He tweeted a picture of Mariska with.
Oh.
I love, I like ACAB, but I love Lauren Otter.
I can't help it.
I can't help it.
Okay.
Lauren Otter has a free, has a free pass.
Yeah.

(13:44):
I just like, I love, I love Olivia and Elliot.
I want to catch up so bad just because I know that they're going to, they're fucking in the
show now.
Mm-hmm.
Oh.
Okay.
Did you, did you actually watch the episode?
Were they fucked?
Did they already?
Haven't they?
The only, the only episode that I've seen is the one that I've seen.
I've seen it.
I've seen it.

(14:05):
I've seen it.
I've seen it.
The only, the only episode that I watched recently was the one where they almost kissed, but
didn't.
He wanted to and she was like, no, I can't.
I don't think I'm ready for this.
And he was like, Oh, I assume they did already.
I haven't watched.
They need, if not get, I haven't watched anything in the past couple of seasons.
I haven't watched since that episode because everybody thought it was going to happen and

(14:29):
it didn't.
God, he's so hot.
That's not fucked up.
One of my earliest crushes, Elliot Stabler, if that tells you anything.
Yeah.
I mean, no, we could, we could see that.
We could see that.
Okay.
Back to the episode.
Okay.
Anyway, um, Taylor's gang, Lorela is gorgeous.
She's gorgeous.
Her scarf is doing nothing.

(14:50):
It is literally, it's like paper thin.
It's literally as like a, it's like a strand of like yarn around her neck.
It's like one angel hair spaghetti.
Right.
Around her neck, like girly.
And it's not even tied or bundled up.
It's literally just hanging.
It's chic.
It's very of the time.
Yeah.
I also love when they say that they, they are talking about the weight of the woman they

(15:14):
need.
Right.
And the guys like, how about your wife?
He's like, you want to sock in the nose?
Luke also says it makes the con, I think it's Luke who makes the comment of moderately
weighted horse.
Fuckin took me out.
It's so funny.
I also, their kiss, they're so sexy together.
Luke and Lorelai, I think are one of the ultimate TV couples as far as sex appeal goes.

(15:38):
It's just the insane, they have the most insane like palpable chemistry.
I don't understand how though, because I've heard rumors that Lauren Graham actually hated
Scott.
Oh shit.
Really?
I wouldn't believe, I wouldn't be able to tell.
And the other rumor that I've read before is that he like had a big crush on her and

(16:01):
that made her like not like him as an, as like an actor.
Like I feel like I've read that before that he was like interested in her or like, yeah,
tried to hit on her or something like that.
And it like, that's their dynamic.
Yeah.
That's so interesting.
I never would have thought about that.

(16:22):
Yeah.
Cause they have, I mean, such good chemistry on screen that I would have been just like,
oh, I'm just, I assume they would have gotten along.
But I also read her book and her most recent one, I've read all of her books.
Her most recent one, she has this passage where she's like, sometimes you have to pretend
that you haven't kissed your co-star outside a hotel the night before you were supposed

(16:43):
to film that scene, blah, blah, blah.
And you just have to pretend you don't have a crush on them.
Could that be about someone on like parenthood or something?
It totally could because, but I don't think it could though, because you know what?
What?
Cause she dated Peter Kraus for a really long time.
He played her brother on that show.
So it couldn't be about him.
Yeah.
Cause they would, what scenes would they have been filming?

(17:04):
Just a brother and sister scene.
Like they wouldn't have filmed a scene that required them to kiss.
So it's like, it has to be about somebody that she's actually kissed.
That's kind of hot.
I wonder if they kissed.
They have to have kissed.
I would kiss it.
I'm like, I'd kiss her.
Mm.
Wait.
What are you fucking eating?

(17:25):
I'm drinking my Slurpee.
I don't want to melt.
Okay.
Oh my God.
Okay.
Moving on.
The dog.
The dog.
So the dog has arrived.
So cute.
This is the only reason we are even watching this episode is this dog.
So this storyline is so fucking underrated.

(17:48):
Nobody talks about this.
We're about to make this episode famous.
I want to blow this episode up.
It's going up.
We're lighting it up.
Like everyone's going to be talking about this episode for the next week.
Okay.
We do have that power.
It's true.
So Emily is like freaked out.
She's on the phone with a friend.
Yeah.
And she's like, oh my God, like I have to call you back.

(18:09):
She's so wild about this dog.
That's harmless.
Literally sitting there looking at her and she calls Richard.
She's like, Richard, there's a dog in the yard.
Emily.
Yes.
Of course it's Emily.
And he's like, well, I'm sorry.
You sound agitated.
And she's like, Richard, the dog is looking at me.
Do something.
And she's like, shoot, shoot.
He looks so sexy.
He looks very put together.

(18:30):
He's about to go to the office.
He looks hot.
And then her shooing through the window is so fucking funny.
So fucking funny.
So he comes outside with like a fireplace poker.
Yeah.
And she's like, what's that?
And he's like, well, you made it sound like a rabid beast.
I came prepared.
Like they're so fucking cute.
And they like know each other so well.
Like he would still do anything for her.

(18:52):
Of course.
She relies on him so much.
It kind of reminded me of the storyline where she buys that panic room and she calls Lorelai.
And she's like, Lorelai, I bought a panic room and it says in the instruction booklet
that I need to call somebody and give them the secret code in case they need to break
me out.
And she's like, OK, mom, I'm ready.
She's like, you have a piece of paper and pen?
Yes, I'm ready.

(19:13):
I'm go ahead.
I have it.
And she's like, OK, the code is zero, zero, zero, zero.
And she's like, mom, I did not need a pen and paper for that.
Is that the default code?
And she's like, yeah, I don't know how to change it.
She's so goofy.
She's so fucking funny.

(19:34):
And the thing is, without Richard, she doesn't believe in herself as much, I think.
But this episode, he kind of comes back into her life.
And I think it makes her feel more safe.
Yes, more secure.
Yeah.
And she immediately just calls him, even though they have this impasse, they haven't been
talking, things have been really bad.

(19:54):
Who does she call?
And of course, she's going to call Richard.
There's just so much tension.
Right.
The storyline is just enthralling.
I'm completely, I want more.
I wish this entire episode was just about them taking care of the stock.
Me fucking too.
Because it's like, I was so annoyed when it cuts to the other, to the next scene.
Anytime Christopher was on screen, I was so excited.

(20:14):
Oh my god.
So he's like, well, what do you want me to do with it?
It's freezing cold out.
We can't leave him out here.
And she's like, well, well, bring him into the pool house.
He can't come into the house.
That's why we have a pool house.
And he's like, we have a pool house for stray dogs.
I love the innuendo, Emily, because he's been staying in the pool house.
And he's like, okay, fine, I'll bring him in the pool house.
He's like, dog, I want you to come with me.

(20:36):
Come with me, dog.
And the dog actually follows him.
And she's like, very well behaved.
And she's like, good job, Richard.
And just like her delivery on that line always sends me.
She loves it so much.
She's like so enthusiastic and impressed.
She's like, whoa, my hero.
Even though it's like.
That's her man.
It's literally such a harmless, like little dog.
It's literally the nicest looking dog I've ever seen.

(20:58):
Most well behaved dog.
But it's so cute.
It's so cute how like she needed to call him.
Exactly.
Ugh.
Okay.
Then we cut to the always annoying, always frustrating Michelle.
Oh my god.
At the dragonfly.
He is funny in this episode.
He's not.
He's fucking annoying.
He is us.
Stop telling me that I'm like him.

(21:19):
I pride myself on being nothing like him.
Okay, girl.
I hate Michelle.
Okay.
This rewatch is bringing something out that I've never been able to verbalize before.
Michelle would act.
Maybe.
So.
Maybe.
Okay.
Anyways.
She's like, what do you mean people have canceled their reservations?

(21:40):
And he's like, well, it's literally snowing.
And like people don't want to drive here.
Like what part don't you get?
And she's like, well, I'm not going to charge people for canceling.
It's way too corporate.
I disagree.
And you disagree with her?
I disagree.
I don't.
I think it's reasonable for a small establishment like this to charge a cancellation fee.
But she's so small town that it hurts her.

(22:02):
It hurts her to feel like she's cheaping people out.
That's fine and dandy.
But Michelle is like, okay, great.
Then would file back.
He's like, great.
So how are we getting paid?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm not saying she should charge like what the other, like what the big hotels do, but
like something to like, like 30 bucks.
The cost.
Yeah.

(22:23):
Something like whatever the deposit was on the room, you keep that.
I don't think that's unreasonable.
Maybe.
You got to make your money somewhere.
I kind of love the fact that she feels that way.
It's very Lorelai of her.
Yeah.
It's very sweet.
It's really sweet.
And it just, it's very in character for her, I feel.
Absolutely.
She's not a bitch like me.
Oh my God.
And Michelle too.

(22:43):
Yes.
Someone who wants money.
Oh God.
Someone who wants to pay their bills.
And so she's like, we're not doing that.
Anyway, I need coffee.
So she goes into the kitchen and Michelle just is just the most unhelpful, annoying, sarcastic
person.
You need him.
Everything he does makes me want to kill him.

(23:05):
You need him to make everyone else seem likable.
I don't know.
He plays an important factor.
He's like, we need to shovel because people are going to slip and break their necks and
we need to put out mats because people are going to slip and break their necks.
And he's like, well, who do you want me to get shoveling the only guy who came into work
today?
And she's like, yeah, him.
Well, she's, I agree with her there.

(23:26):
She's right.
They need to shovel.
Also, why wouldn't you just call the plow guys and be like, fix this bitch?
But did you see the part later on where she talks about the plow guys?
Yeah, but like, there's an easier fix than making Michelle go and do it right now.
I don't think so.
I think Michelle deserves it.
I'm not saying I'm not talking about whether Michelle deserves it or not.
I'm talking about efficiency.

(23:47):
Well, the plow people have other stuff to do.
And Michelle's just standing there being sarcastic.
They have other businesses to block in.
Right.
So then it cuts to Rory at Yale and it's just so palpable that Rory hates her dad.
Yeah.
Go off queen.
I'm glad that she stood her ground here.
Me too.
She's so mad at him.

(24:07):
And then he has Rory on this episode.
And then he has the nerve to ask her to skip class.
Has he met her?
He just shows up and he's like, skip class and come to breakfast with me.
First of all, she's been mad at you for months.
Second of all, she would never skip class.
Yeah.
She's not a loser.
Like you.
Like you.
Right, exactly.
He makes me so mad.
And Paris calling C-Span, that is so fucking funny.

(24:29):
I kind of want to know what she would even say.
Like, what was she calling about specifically?
What was she watching?
What was she watching?
Exactly.
But it's just like, she's so weird.
And then she's like, yeah, I could eat.
Mind your business.
You're not involved in this.
He's like, Paris, you can come.
Such a troublemaker.
He's such a troublemaker.
But I'm glad that she was like, you get the fuck out of here.

(24:50):
Yeah, I hate him.
And then cuts back to the dragonfly.
Lorelei and Suki and Michelle are trying to figure out what to do about the fact that
some of their guests have like disappeared.
They went on like a skiing trip or whatever and they still haven't come back.
And Lorelei is literally pouring leftover coffee and so disgusting.
And then Suki realizes it and is like, I'm like so disgusted right now.

(25:15):
I'm going to throw up.
She was having none of it.
Also Lorelei's hair looked lovely in the scene.
Lorelei looks gorgeous in this episode.
She really does.
She really is looking very stunning.
And I do love these three in scenes together.
I really do love it when they're in scenes together.
I think they all work best in the like.
Together.
Yes.
So then we cut back to Emily and Richard and they're like, it's just really cute.

(25:41):
He called out a work to take care of the dog.
Yeah, he's such a sweetie.
He's like a teddy bear.
Yeah, he's like, well, I called out a work because I needed to stabilize the canine situation.
And then he like, he found the dog breed on the internet.
He doesn't Google it.
I fucking love this moment.
She's like so amazed by his knowledge of the internet.
And she's like.
Old people learning the internet is so cute sometimes.

(26:03):
It really is.
And then she's like, what's all that luggage?
And he's like, oh, this is the Louis Vuitton website.
I thought you might like to peruse it.
So she sits down and she's like, boy, that's nifty.
And they're just so precious.
Like it's so it's just like the you only get this with people who've been together for
so long.
Exactly.
Like he just knows she's going to be kind of weirded out by the internet.

(26:26):
So he's like, let me make her introduction to the internet something I know she's going
to love.
You know what?
She's right to feel weirded out by the internet.
Yeah.
That she has a bad place.
Yeah.
I also love the fact that like he has a computer and she's mystified by the mouse.
She's like, oh, a mouse.
What did she say exactly?
Oh my God.

(26:47):
Oh my God.
What was the exact line?
She's like, oh, it was so good.
It's like, oh, a mouse.
The things people come up with these days.
Something like that.
She was just like so like she's so excited.
It was so cute.
It was adorable.
Oh God, I want more of this story.
I just wish the entire episode was like everybody got snowed in and they each got like 20 minutes

(27:11):
in the episode.
I love a snowed in episode.
Me too.
So then Rory is back at the school and like gets out of class and Christopher is still
there with coffee.
And she's like, oh, yeah.
And she's like, why are you still here?
And he's like, look, I hate our relationship.
I know it's my fault, but like we need to work on it.
And like I want you to let me in.

(27:33):
And Rory just doesn't say what she needs to say.
She's being very passive aggressive.
She just kind of like nodding and just letting him say what he needs to say.
And like also like super sad is when he gives her the coffee, he's like, I don't know how
you take your coffee.
So I got you everything.
And it's like, you know, who would know how she takes her coffee?
Luke.
Yeah.
And just shows how absent he is.
He's so out of touch.

(27:53):
He's so absent and like, look, I can understand given his circumstance wanting to like reconnect
to whatever.
Like he feels guilty and you learn, you learn that you, about the mistakes that you've made,
whatever.
Now is not the time or place.
And he does admit that.
He says, like, I shouldn't have done this.
It's not fair to you.

(28:13):
It's like, yeah, it's a little late to realize that though.
You are currently outside of my school, like outside of my class.
Yeah.
Like, he's like, he's like, I mean, and this is like dramatic irony a little bit because
we kind of know what he's going through because we've watched this before, but in the moment,
it just seems like a desperate attempt for Christopher to reconnect with Rory completely

(28:34):
out of the blue.
But later on in the episode, we find out that it's because his dad is dying.
Yeah.
But like, we don't know that and neither does Roy.
So she's just like completely miffed by it.
And it's just like, go away.
And we're on her side because we're all like, why is he being so desperate?
Like, and you know what, even after we find out, I'm still on her side.
Yeah.
Because she has no reason to trust him.

(28:55):
Either give the circumstance or not about his dad.
He has let her down so many fucking times.
Time and time again.
And it's like, you know what, at a certain point, you have to just accept that that's
who he is.
Wait, I just found out something really crazy.
What?
Jane Lynch and Megan Mullally are going to be in a new show together starting on February
24th.

(29:15):
Oh, what's it called?
Party Down.
Sure.
I think that's probably fun.
And it's on stars.
It's going to be on stars.
Who the fuck has stars?
I don't, but I just got an alert that I can get it for 20.
I can get it for six months for 20 bucks.
Oh, fucking Tony and their sister like this show.
It's already premiered?

(29:36):
No, it's a reboot.
This is a reboot.
It is?
Yeah, from a show in like the late 2000s, I guess.
Haven't even heard of it.
Me either.
I had no idea about it and they were both really surprised.
Should I get stars for $20 for six months and cancel my showtime subscriptions since
the L word is over?
I don't know.
Maybe?

(29:57):
Okay.
Put a bookmark in that.
Yeah.
I mean, for, I don't know for now.
Okay.
Anyway, so back to the episode.
We cut to Taylor and he's doing auditions for the town whore, town whore character girl
audition this reenactment.
And he's just so extra.
I Taylor is like, he's much more annoying than Kirk.

(30:19):
Yeah.
I agree with that.
I don't like either of them, but like this episode is so much worse than Kirk.
Poor Miss Patty.
Yeah.
Poor Miss Patty.
Although Patty dragged him for filth.
Oh, my girl does it every time.
She does not let him live.
She does not.
She's like character.

(30:39):
I thought, wait, what did she say?
She's like, um, because he's describing the character and she's like, I thought you were
playing this role Taylor or something like that.
He describes, okay, this is what happened.
She's like watching him describe to the other, to the female characters.
He's like, you're going to be trying to attract a studly, sexy, hunky guy, which is like first

(31:05):
and foremost, it's a British soldier in the American Revolutionary War.
Hunky is how we're describing British people now.
He just could not be more off base.
And it's just one of those Taylor moments.
And then Patty gags him.
Patty gags him.
She's like, I thought you were playing the character.
Oh, gets him together.

(31:25):
It makes me so happy.
I love Miss Patty.
Again, where's my Miss Patty spinoff?
I can't wait for Miss Patty spinoff and Babette.
Young Miss Patty and Babette, girls on the town.
I love them both.
But yeah, Kirk is trying to whore out girlfriend Lulu to be the whore.
Honestly, she would do a good job.

(31:47):
She would do a great job.
I think it makes sense for Lulu to be the town whore.
She's wacky.
She's a wacky girl.
There's nobody else for the job, even though they want Lorelai because of how beautiful
she is.
She's a stunning woman.
Taylor literally goes running out of the audition to call Lorelai and he's like, Lorelai, Lorelai,
like, do you want to do this?
You don't even have to audition.
We just want you.
And she just has, no, she's like, no.

(32:09):
And she steps in a puddle.
She has the entire town wrapped around her finger.
Like if I lived in Stardt Hollow, I would fall in love with her.
I would too.
I would be like, do you want to grab a drink later?
Like do you want to chit chat?
You know the lesbian character on Grey's Anatomy, like the short blonde one who's like in love
with Meredith?
Yes.
I would be her in the Stardt Hollow world.

(32:31):
I mean, you are already.
I know, but I'm saying like if I lived in Stardt Hollow and I got to know her, everyone
would be like, oh, you're in love with Lorelai.
You'd be working at the inn.
I would be working at the inn and I would be like, why doesn't she ever notice me, Suki?
And Suki would be like, I don't know, but here's some cookies.
Yeah, Suki holding the hot cookie pan with no gloves.

(32:56):
She would be like, I just burned myself, but that's all right.
I think the audition scene is so funny and then Kirk runs out.
My girlfriend's the whore.
My girlfriend's the whore.
So stupid.
So stupid.
So dumb.
So Gilmore Girls.
He does make me laugh in this episode.
More than he usually does.
Okay.
Anyway, so then she's telling Luke how she like trekked across town to get his coffee

(33:22):
and he's like, are you okay?
And she's like, no, we lost the gold farms.
There's no coffee at the end.
Michelle's being annoying.
And he's like, anyway, don't worry.
Like I'll make it up to you later tonight.
And it's a really cute little moment that we get between them.
I love them.
I love them.
They're so cute.
It's just everyone in this episode is really cute, which means bad things are coming.

(33:45):
I fucking hate it.
I just like, can't we just let them all be happy?
Like why can't the rest of the entire show just be like this episode?
Yes, I agree.
Okay.
So then we cut back to Emily and Richard and they're at the house and Emily is calling
everybody in her planner daybook to figure out whose dog this is.

(34:06):
And I noticed that behind her there's like literally a roaring fire and I was like pause.
I want a fire.
That looks so cozy.
I went out to the shed and got firewood, but the act of doing that exhausted me so much
that I did not end up actually lighting a fire.
So I just went back to watching the episode, but let it be known that like that fire looked

(34:26):
so cozy that it immediately made it, it made me want a fire in that house.
I love a fire.
Me too.
I just, it's so, it is so cozy.
And I there.
The crackling pop.
I texted you about this and we'll talk about it when we get, when we see Christopher's
childhood home.
Christopher's family is broke compared to the Gilmorels.
The Gilmorels have many.

(34:48):
They really have a gorgeous house.
Like they have like an estate.
It's a little moments like this.
Like Emily just sitting at this huge dining room table with a leather bound daybook calling
people in the middle of the day with a roaring fire behind her that she definitely did not
start and is not tending to.
And is not even in the same room as the fireplace.

(35:11):
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
And the huge ornate flower arrangements all over the fucking house.
Oh my God.
What is the month?
Like what?
What is that month?
I want to know Emily's, I want to know Emily's flower budget.
Yes.
I was just about to say it's, I know it must be crazy.
Oh my God.
Thousands of dollars a month.
Absolutely.
Because there's always different flowers every single episode.
They're never the same.

(35:31):
God, being rich sounds so fun.
Flowers die after like two weeks, one and a half weeks.
But Lord knows Emily's not letting the flowers even die.
She's like, oh, we've had these for four days.
We're just getting rid of them.
Oh yes.
But um.
Oh my God.
Yeah, they're just, I love this.
I love that Richard comes in looking for a bowl.
Yeah, he's like, oh, I'm going to feed the dogs some leftover stew and pick the meat

(35:55):
out of it.
And she's roasting him for eating stew.
He's like, he's like, um, sorry, but my, my, um.
Chef?
Yeah.
Cooks me stew because it's a recipe from his relative.
And she's like, well, that probably killed his relative.
I'm also anti stew.
I love stew.
I hate stew.
Oh, I fucking love it.
I don't like it.

(36:16):
I especially love, I especially love it when it has like potatoes and like, it all gets
too soft.
I love that.
I don't like it.
Nice.
I don't like soft food.
Really?
What about like ramen?
Uh, I have to be in like the really specific mood for it.
But like generally I just don't, I'm not a big soup person.

(36:36):
I love soup.
I'm not a big soft foods person.
For me, November through February is soup season.
I eat soup like.
That's fair.
I think most people will feel that way.
I love it.
But, um, she gives him a chipped bowl and she's just like, anyway, it's chipped.
So when you're done, just throw it in the trash.
And it's like, what?
Throw it in the trash?

(36:58):
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's like, it's still, but they're so rich.
I know.
It just, it, the thought of it collided with something in my brain of like, oh my God,
it's just chipped.
But it's like, I would not throw that away.
I've chipped stuff downstairs.
It's shocking to hear her say that.
Rich people are crazy.
It was meant to highlight how rich they are.
When you're done with this chipped bowl that we're going to feed our dog out of that's

(37:20):
made out of bone china, just throw it in the trash.
And he's like, okay.
He's like, yeah, that makes complete sense.
I was going to do that before you even told me to.
Yeah.
I really, I just like the little scenes of them.
It just makes me so happy.
Then we cut to Lorela and she's sewing a costume for the reenactment at her house.
And I love that she just knows how to sew.

(37:42):
And this has been a.
She's so talented.
This has been a runner since the beginning of the show where she like, picked hemmed Rory
skirt for Chilton and just like kind of made her way in life.
And like, of course.
And she fixed, she hemmed the dress for graduation.
Right.
And it's just like, of course, like a woman who had to make her own way in life because
she refused the help of her parents and like kind of started her life over from scratch

(38:06):
after getting pregnant would know how to use a sewing machine like that.
Yeah.
She's got to figure it out for herself.
I fucking love her.
It's just like little things like that.
Little things like that.
That make you love her so much more.
Yes.
Exactly.
Um, so she's like, did anything happen today that was interesting and Laura and Roy's just
like, no, no.
And it's just like kind of icky that she didn't tell Lorela about Chris, but we know why she's

(38:28):
doing it. The reason she's doing it is because she knows that every time Lorela finds out
about Christopher, she goes running to him and Rory is afraid that like, it's just going
to end in flames again.
And it is.
Yeah, she knows.
She's right.
She's right.
Lorela has the worst pattern with Christopher.
Bad judgment.
Terrible judgment.
And I don't even know if it's a question of judgment.

(38:49):
It's more so like he is manipulative.
When things are bad in his life, he leans on Lorela and when things are good in his life,
he's nowhere to be found.
Yeah. He's just an asshole.
He only comes around when he's a poor weather friend.
Yes, exactly. And it's just like so disappointing that they both get swept up in that this
episode.

(39:09):
Yep. Um, there's literally a hole in her roof. Like her ceiling is leaking and the
next day she leaves the house and snow falls on her Jeep and then a huge branch falls on
her Jeep and she calls Luke to help her shovel it out. It's, she is so infuriating in this
scene. It's like really endearing.

(39:30):
She's useless.
It's so cute how she's like cursing and kicking at the snow and like,
She's throwing a temper tantrum.
She's literally punching the air, like trying to punch snowflakes. It's so cute. He just
leans on the shovel while she's cursing at the snow that's falling.
And it's,
This is also the fakest looking snow I've ever seen on this car.

(39:51):
He's in love with her.
He's in love with her. Like, have they said I love you? Have they said I love you yet?
I don't remember.
I don't think so. Let me google it.
I wonder, I think they only say it like a couple of times. I don't even think they
say it. They say it in their revival, I think.
Um, yeah.
Cause he can barely say the word relationship. He's like, this thing that we're doing, me
and you, I'm in. I'm all in.

(40:12):
Yeah. It might just be when she sings, I will always love you.
She never actually says the words to him.
Not that I know of?
Oh, holy fuck. Wow.
Oh no. Okay. This person on Twitter, so take it with a grain of salt. Uh, the first time
they say it was the season six episode 15 and Luke is like, you know, I love you, right?

(40:32):
And then she says, it's, it'd be nice to hear it sometime. And he's like, I love you. I'm
going to marry you.
Dada, Dada, Dada, Dada, like all this, like really sweet.
Oh my God.
Yeah. But that's like the first time.
She's like, it would be nice to hear it sometimes.
Yes.
And he says, he's like, I love you. We're going to get married and we're going to have lobster
at the wedding.
And he does not say it enough.
No.

(40:53):
But she doesn't need it.
Yeah.
They're just like weird.
They're kind of weird.
Okay. So then they head to Friday night dinner and like,
They both look very cute.
They look really cute. And Emily is in the pool house with the dog. And they're like,
Oh, it's such a surprise to see you here. Who's this dog? And they're like, Oh, we found
him. And I'm just don't, I'm like, just ignore me. I'm here to hang out with the dog. And

(41:18):
she's like, I'm sorry for monopolizing things. Like go have your drinks.
They're so cute.
She's being so overly polite that it like hurts.
It's so boring.
Yeah. And he invites her to, she's like, feel free to join in on the conversation. And
she's like, no, no, don't worry. And then Lorelai's like, Rory, oh my God, did I tell
you about that thing that mom did? She's being such a witch with a B. And it's adorable and

(41:43):
really funny. And then Emily's like Lorelai. And she's like kind of warning her. And then
she's like, well, I'm sorry, grandma, but like, we can't really ignore you. And then
Richard is like, you do have a presence.
Yeah, he literally is like, they're right, Emily, you do have a presence that cannot
be ignored.
So cute. I just love even, even if they're not together in this scene, technically, the

(42:03):
dynamic between the four of them is just so much fun to watch in a scene like this.
It is. I like when they get along.
Yeah, it's not as much like really like good.
It feels better than when they're old, when they're like fighting or when they have like
a fight between a couple of them.
I just like, I like when they're all happy and getting along. It makes me feel nice.

(42:23):
And it's, they're so much more funny and interesting when they're all getting along.
Agreed. So then they fill them in about Christopher's dad.
Strobe, I think is his name.
Yeah. And Lorelai's like, we hate strobe.
We hate strobe. You know, can I say something?
Yeah.
I feel like Christopher's parents align with Logan's parents. And it's ironic that

(42:44):
Roy's start dating Logan in this season because I feel like they treated Lorelai very similar
to how Logan's parents treat Rory.
Yeah. I mean, Logan is so similar to Chris. It's just like, it's, it's so funny that
Rory dates the same type of dad.
She literally dates a mini Luke and a mini Christopher. Oh God.

(43:05):
Yeah. Yeah. And it's just like, I think that the type that Christopher and Logan are makes
a lot of sense for the type of people they come from, from what we see. I just, I can't
stand Christopher's parents.
Me either. I get them confused in my head. Like I literally get them confused sometimes.
They're so evil.
Yeah. Cause it feels like we should see Christopher's parents more than we do because they're Rory's

(43:27):
grandparents.
I feel like we've only seen them in like two flashbacks.
I think we, yeah. And the only time we really deal with them is that episode where they
come over for dinner and Richard kicks them out.
Right. Cause they insult Rory.
Rory.
Yeah.
What the fuck? I forgot about that episode.
Who's the woman who plays his mother?
I don't know why, but I feel like I remember her being blonde or maybe that's Logan's parents.
I think it's Logan's parents.

(43:48):
I hate that blonde bitch that plays Logan's mom. I wanted to punch her so bad in the,
in the story arc where Rory is helping Emily with the DAR and she plans that party and
then she shows up uninvited and expects a table and Emily's just like, get the fuck
out.
Oh my God. Her name is Christine Rose. And the reason I recognize her is from fucking,
oh my God. Wait, give me a second.

(44:10):
Is this Christopher's mom?
Yes. Don't you recognize her?
She looks like Aunt Petunia from Harry Potter, but I know it's not her.
No. Oh my God. What am I right?
She's been in every behind of the sun.
No, she's a little older.
No, but it's literally saying that she's from that.
Yeah. I'm trying. It doesn't matter.
Wait, I kind of want to know though.
But she's been in like everything.
How I met your mother?

(44:30):
No, I never watched heroes.
Charmed.
She is in charmed. I know her from that.
Malcolm in the middle.
I can picture her. I can hear her voice.
Sabrina the teenage witch.
No, I never watched that.
The nanny. No.
Ally McBeal, party of five.
Maybe the nanny.
She's been in every fucking show.
How is this possible?
Everything. She's been in everything.
She's in Brothers and Sisters, which is a great show.

(44:51):
NCIS, Sharp Objects.
She's in Mad Love, every NCIS.
Oh my God.
Oh my God. It's really going to bother me that I can't picture her, like specifically
what it is. Maybe it's Days of Our Lives.
She looks like somebody, but it isn't her. I know it isn't her.
She looks.
She does not.
She looks like BB Neuwirth.
No way. BB Neuwirth has such a pinched face.

(45:15):
BB Neuwirth has a pinched face.
No, she does not.
BB Neuwirth has a wide face.
Her features are so well set on her face.
I'm not saying they're twins.
Oh, it's going to bother me to no end.
We have to move on.
But I really want to know what she's from.
I know. I do too. I cannot figure it out.
We'll move on.
Wow. I looked up pictures of BB Neuwirth and she is so hot.

(45:38):
Oh my God.
Did I tell you I'm going to see Chicago?
Yes, you told me. I'm so excited for you.
Can't wait. I'm so fucking excited.
Oh my God.
I just found a photo of her in a red dress and fishnets.
Shit.
She's looked hot. She's in private practice.
Maybe that's it.
Maybe that's it.
Emmy Award winner and Tony winner BB Neuwirth.

(45:58):
Fucking icon.
We need to get her working.
Can you book something, please, Queen? We miss you.
We stan her.
She's also so good in the Addams Family News.
I love her with gray hair.
Oh my God.
I'm saving this photo and posting it a little bit later.
Okay. Anyway, we have to keep going.
All right.

(46:19):
Rory and Lorelai find out about Chris's dad dying.
And Lorelai is like, Rory, did you get any phone calls or anything like that?
And she's like, no.
Okay.
I don't understand why not just be honest.
Like I understand her hesitance, but at this point, now is the time to be honest about
it.
Because beforehand it was different.
Now there's a reason to be like, oh, this makes sense why he was connecting.

(46:42):
Like, yeah.
I don't see a benefit in not being honest.
I think, again, she's now feeling starting, like, I think she's starting to feel guilty
about the fact that she lied the first time that Lorelai asked her.
So now she's trying to hide the lie.
So she's lying to protect the original lie, which was not telling her that he came to
school.

(47:02):
Yeah, true.
And then be like, I lied about it in front of her grandparents and then have Lorelai
be like, well, how come you didn't tell me when that happened and have her have to explain?
Because I know that every time dad comes around, you just cheat and you just, yeah, it's
looking annoying.
Yeah, that makes sense.
So then I hate it.
So yeah, the Lorelai Luke and Christopher storyline is going to go completely downhill

(47:27):
from here.
So, so annoying.
This is everything, this got it started in motion, the whole downfall of their relationship.
And it's like, but the Emily and Richard story is so good.
But do you realize something?
What Lorelai and Luke situation of Luke's jealousy caused by Christopher was actually
all Rory's fault.
I'm going to explain myself in a bit, but please put a pin in that because I want you

(47:51):
to just remember that.
So now we're going to jump to the part where they're like talking and Lorelai's like, oh,
we should probably send flowers and she's like, well, mom and dad, did you send anything?
And she's like, well, just send it directly to Francine's house because that's where they're
staying.
That's where Chris is staying.

(48:11):
Yeah.
And then it cuts to Rory like, well, before that we get the scene where Emily says that
she already signed Richard's name.
Oh, right, right, right, right.
The flowers, which is like, baby, just get together back, get back together.
Right.
And he's like showing her how to fold the dogs blanket.
He's like, the dogs kind of pick you.
Yeah.
It's so fucking cute.
He's like, let me show you how the dog likes his blanket arranged.

(48:31):
She's like, I appreciate your help.
Like they're just like, it's so cute seeing them be so silly.
The way they talk to each other in this episode.
It's almost like childish.
Yeah.
It like melts my heart.
It's really sweet.
They're falling back in love.
I love watching this.
They're falling back in love.
Yeah, exactly.
They're so cute.
Okay.
Okay.

(48:52):
So then we jump over to Rory and she shows up at Christopher's house with like milk
and cookies.
He invites her in and then something about the way they both showed up within hours of
each other, but without telling each other that they were going to do that.
Something about that.
Yeah.
But Lorelai is always so supportive and therefore Rory, even when she fucks up, like Rory immediately
leaves the house and then calls her from the car and is like, I lied to you like two

(49:15):
times and she's like, oh kid, like that sucks.
Yeah, she's not mad.
She's just like, that sucks.
But anyway, I'm glad to hear that you're supportive of me going to see him because I'm pulling
up behind you.
And she has the bottle of tequila and he's like, come on in.
He's like, come on in friend.
I want to strangle him.
I want to him dead.

(49:35):
Stop right there.
Don't fucking call her friend.
Stay away from her.
Buster, get a job.
Oh, he makes me so fucking mad.
Me too.
And I, yeah, I just don't like it.
I hate it.
I hate it.
Why did she go there?
Oh.
And then why did she lie about it?
Okay.
And this is, remember when I said put a pin in it?
Rory lies first.
Exactly.
And I was like, oh, they're sitting in Luke Steiner.

(49:57):
She's like, I want pancakes.
I'm hungover.
I don't feel well.
Rory's like, did dad drink that much?
She's like, yeah, he was the, he's the one who made us drink this much.
And then I like, I don't remember if Lorelei ever actually tells Luke that she visited
him or not.
But if she didn't, like talking this loudly about their long night of drinking doesn't
seem very prudent, which makes me feel like she had no intention of lying to Luke.

(50:18):
I don't think so either.
But guess what?
Rory's a dumb bitch.
Luke came over and he goes, can I get you guys anything?
Or no, he's like, you're okay.
You don't look so good.
Yeah.
And he comes in from, he's late.
Rory is the first one to speak and Rory lies for her.
Lorelei does not say a word in response to that.
No, she's set up.
She gets set up by Rory to be a liar.

(50:38):
So all of this is fucking Rory's fault.
I have a feeling that if Lorelei, if Rory didn't lie first, Lorelei probably would have just
been like, yeah, um, I was, she would have been like, I was drinking last night.
I'll tell you about it later.
And at the end of the day, I don't, and I can understand where Luke is coming from,
like not wanting her to hang out with Christopher and all that.
I think this time she has good reason because of their relationship and the weird relationship

(51:01):
he had with his dad.
Like either like it or not, like she had, they have that understanding of each other.
So it's justified.
I think lying about it is the big issue.
She never should have lied, but it was Rory who started it first.
Rory was the one who lied first.
That's what it comes down to.
She's so, she's so young.
And then fucking, he walks away and Lorelei's like, oh, I don't know why I lied.

(51:23):
Bitch, you didn't lie.
It was your daughter.
She didn't say anything.
Yeah, you didn't have to lie.
She's like, I regret lying.
I shouldn't have lied.
Um, girl, your daughter is the one who lied for you.
Yeah.
But then she went along with it.
She was just like, but I don't even feel like what she said was that bad.
She was just like, I didn't sleep very well last night.
And that's true.
So it's not really a lie.

(51:44):
Yeah.
But it's, it gets into the thing of like omission by, like is lying by omission.
Yeah, that's true.
But again, I think she should have just, I think later on in the episode when Luke is
like, hey, you didn't, sorry, I burped.
You didn't look so good earlier.
Like are you okay?
Then she lies.
Then it's a problem.
Right.
Cause that time, cause then she could have been like, oh, I was hungover.
I, Christopher's dad died.

(52:05):
I went over there.
Da da da da.
Resolved it.
Luke would have been probably pissy and annoyed, but like at least she was being honest.
He gave her multiple opportunities to tell the truth and she didn't.
Exactly.
And that's what really creates me because she only does that when it comes to Christopher.
Yes.
Like, stop giving this man so much power.
But anyway, then the reenactment scene happens and it's like really corny and stupid.

(52:29):
It's so silly.
It's so silly.
And it's just goofy.
The redheaded kid played, his name is Bobby in this episode.
He plays a character named Bob in Sweet Life of Zack and Cody.
Yes.
I remember Bob.
Yes.
And I saw him and I was like, Bobby, he's also Bob and the other.
I have another note that's like, I have another note that's like what happened to all of these

(52:50):
child actors.
Truly.
Like, do they, where are they now?
I want to know like who they are, what happened to them?
Like are they okay?
If they're still working.
Yeah.
Are they okay?
Exactly.
Most importantly, are they okay?
And then it cuts back to Emily and Richard.
And this is the part of the episode that I love the most because it highlights how meaningful
this all was to them.

(53:10):
They're like, at first I love the runner of them not knowing whether the dog is a girl
or a boy.
They're just like.
Okay.
Yeah.
So I took him, oh, it's a him.
Yeah.
Didn't you know?
Oh, yeah.
They just like, okay.
Anyway, so anyway, I took her to the, oh, it's a her.
There's so for Lauren at the idea of this dog finally being found.
Like Emily's excited for the next chapter of their mission and is like, okay, so I did

(53:33):
a little bit more research and blah, blah, blah.
And he's like, oh, the dog is gone.
Like it's over.
Yeah.
Over and done.
And she's like sad.
You see the sadness flash over her eyes.
Yeah.
She's bummed.
It's like they wish there was another dog in the yard.
They don't want it to be over.
And that's how you know that they're back in love and that they want to get back together
because they both have this feeling of like, oh, it was fun working together on this.

(53:54):
It was fun being a team together again.
And he's like, well, I have to go to work.
And she just kind of.
It's really sweet.
She's sad.
She's definitely sad.
Yeah.
And then it cuts to Loreline.
She's pulling up in front of her house and we see, well, I saw, I don't know if you saw,
she's on the phone with somebody and then she hangs up and then the registration sticker

(54:15):
on her car is for June 2004.
So does that mean that Loreline is actually not a tourist but actually a Gemini?
I thought that she was a tourist, but the.
What is the registration sticker after June 2004?
You register your car the month you were born.
True.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I don't drive.
When do you register?
I thought it was like whenever.
Car.

(54:35):
Don't you do it when you get the car?
No, I don't think so.
I thought you have to do it when you.
Isn't it different in every state?
It could be.
I feel like I'm pretty sure it's when your birthday, when your birth month is.
Connecticut car registration.
When?
You must renew your vehicle's car registration every two years.
The DMV, sensor vaccination renewals approximately 40 days, 45 days before the expiration.

(54:59):
That's not enough information.
I'm on ct.gov.
I am on townofkentct.org.
I don't know.
I mean, I also don't drive.
I do, but hang on.
I'm going to go check my tags on my car.
I can't see them from my side window.
I don't see anything about that.
Okay.
Well, anyway, she's probably still a tourist then.
Yeah.

(55:19):
I feel like you're reading into this.
But hold on because doesn't her being a Gemini make so much sense?
No.
It does make complete sense.
She's so chatty and like she does act like a Gemini sometimes.
But anyway, Luke built her an ice rink in her front yard and it's so cute.
It's so romantic.
This is like up there with the House of Candles from Grey's Magic.
This is one of the most romantic scenes of a TV couple of all time.

(55:42):
And it's so simple.
It's just like a simple nice thing that he does.
Yeah.
He's like, look, I don't want you to hate snow anymore.
I want you to go back to loving snow.
And she's like, why do you care?
And he's like, well, I'm a grump about stuff, but I don't want you to be.
And it's so sweet.
It's such a small thing.
And then he says, you were lying this morning.
Bitch, if you don't just tell him the truth, he gave her literally three chances.

(56:05):
Literally.
Exactly.
And he's like, I'm gonna be honest now and be like, I was, but like.
She should have come.
I wasn't.
I wasn't.
She should have come clean.
Like she and even saying like, oh, I had a headache.
She's technically not lying, but she's not saying why.
Oh my God.
Which is the problem because there's guilt associated with that then.
Exactly.
And then he's like, well, anyway, you should just ice skate and don't crash into a tree.

(56:27):
So she does.
And it's just like, she sucks and does not deserve him in this episode.
It's very upsetting.
No.
It's a huge bummer because it does just set up this whole nonsense that they have to go
through, which isn't fun to watch.
But it is so cute to watch her ice skating around the ring.
But you just know that in her mind, she's just replaying her night with Christopher and

(56:48):
thinking about.
Yeah.
The experience is tainted because.
She lied to him right before she experienced it.
So we know that she's probably half enjoying it, half not enjoying it.
And that's how it ends.
And that's how it ends.
That's even more annoying.
It's such a good episode though.
It's such a good episode.
It flew by.
Yeah, I'm glad you picked this.
It is a really fast episode.
I'm so glad you picked this.

(57:09):
I just really liked all the Emily and Richard stuff is so nice.
I agree.
That's definitely the best part of the episode.
I am.
Yeah.
I'm really glad that we got to watch this one.
Me too.
What are we watching next week?
Next week, we are going to be watching season seven, episode 20.
Which is what?
This is the not to spoil the whole point of while we're watching it, why we're watching

(57:31):
it.
We're watching Lorelei sings to Luke.
Oh my God, it's the karaoke night one.
It's the karaoke episode.
Oh my God, I fucking love that one.
Oh shit, I'm so excited.
I'm so excited to talk about this.
It's one of the best episodes.
It's one of the most iconic episodes.
It's one of my all time favorite episodes of any show.
Yeah, I can't wait to talk about it.
Me too.
I'm so glad it made your list because it did not make my list, but I wanted it to.

(57:52):
I almost went.
I know, I was so glad.
When I was making mine, I was like doing it and then I looked at yours and I was like,
oh God, I'm so glad one of us picked this.
Oh God.
Oh.
Yeah, I'm really excited to talk about that episode next week.
