Lorelai didn't understand how something as trivial as a first date could possibly affect her mother's social life. After all, all she had done was ask for Peyton's number.

She still had no clue what she was apologizing for. But it meant something to her mother. Now she would still be served first at their meaningless DAR meetings. She wouldn't become a scandal. Besides, it was a chance to see David Bowie.
