Rory splashes some water on her face and stands in the corner. Gorilla girl comes in drunk wearing a ball gown and a plastic gorilla mask enters the ladies room. He doesn't see Rory. She touches up her lipstick. She sees Rory.

In the Black SUV
Chloe: Steph, someone followed you out.
Steph: Oh, that was probably Rory.
Logan: What, she probably overheard you saying our motto?
Chloe: Which means that she'll start investigating its origin?
Colin: Which means?
Logan: It means that she'll approach either Chloe or I.
Chloe: It just depends on what she finds.
Colin: Are you sure the article about the LDB is good idea?
Steph: Of course, Colin, It'll make our group more mysterious.
Yale Newspaper Office
Doyle: Gellar! Do you see what I have here in my hand?
Paris: I'm busy, Doyle.
Doyle: Rabbi Baron says he's changed his number twice.
Paris: Oh, please.
Doyle: Father Callahan is threatening a restraining order.
Paris: If I had a nickel…
Doyle: And the honourable Mohammed Abdul Aziz says that you stole his flip flops.
Paris: What a lie. He leaves them out in his hallway and I have told him a million times that people suck and…
Doyle: Paris.
Paris: What?
Doyle: You have threatened, stalked and basically freaked out every religious leader within a hundred radius. This paper has never received so many complaints in the history of its existence. And how the hell did you get Jesse Jackson's barber's number? How?
Paris: Hey, you gave this beat to find the story, not to cow-tow and make nice, and…
Doyle: Gellar!
Paris: What!
Doyle: Way to go.
Paris: Thanks.
Doyle: Don't you dare give back those flip flops.
Paris: Not a chance, they fit perfectly. Doyle walks away.
Rory: Hey, Doyle, I think I want to change my story.
Doyle: Yeah?
Rory: Yeah. The downloading story was a dead end, there's nothing there.
Doyle: You're telling me.
Rory: What?
Doyle: I got bored just hearing you pitch it. So what do you got now?
Rory: Okay. Well, last night I was in one of the bathrooms over at Berkeley, and this girl came in, slightly toasted, and she was wearing a full on ball gown with one of those plastic gorilla masks. She seemed to know me and knew my name.
Doyle: Huh, Not something you see every day.
Rory: Exactly what I though. So I followed her out of the parking lot, and she got in this fancy black SUV, and said "In Omnia Paratis", which means "Ready for anything". I know I took Latin.
Doyle: Quel impressed. Continue.
Rory: All this seemed a little weird, but interesting weird, you know? So, I don't know. Maybe it's all this hanging out with a real newspaper man like yourself, but my antennae went up. I felt there was a story there. Did you catch the subtle sucking up?
Doyle: Caught it. Continue.
Rory: So, I googled the phrase, not quite sure what I was looking for, but then I found this. See, it links the phrase with a club here at Yale. It's sort of a secret society kind of Skull and Bones kind of creepy group dating back to the 1800's. This phrase was their motto. Now, that alone, not that interesting. But here. Look. She shows him a picture of people jumping off a bridge holding umbrellas, with the phrase In Omnia Paratis scrawled across the bottom.
Doyle: Huh. Doyle looks interested.
Rory: I found this in a 1996 edition of the Yale Daily News. It's an article on whether or not this club actually exists.
Doyle: "The life and death brigade." Yeah, I know these guys.
Rory: Oh, you do?
Doyle: Well, I've heard of them. They're apparently even more elusive than the Skull and Bones crowd. "Course they've never been linked to masturbating in a coffin in a coffin so I automatically like these guys better.
Rory: Hm. Well, what do you know about them?
Doyle: Not much. Paper's tried to track them down before, and we've gotten a few leads, but no one's ever gotten close enough to confirm anything. We all know they exist, but, we don't know they exist. It's all too too. God I hate those stupid clubs.
Rory: I want to do this story. I want to find this club, track them down, get on the inside. What do you think?
Doyle: Go with your gut.
Rory: You said that about my downloading story. Hey, you don't trust my gut!
Elder Gilmore House. Lorelai is waiting by her jeep for Chloe and Rory to arrive.
Lorelai: Finally.
Rory: What are you doing out here? Chloe gets out of her Lexus and walks over towards them.
Lorelai: Am I wearing the same thing I wore last Friday night?
Rory: What?
Chloe: I'm not sure, I wasn't here.
Lorelai: Halfway, here I struck by the overwhelming feeling that I wore this exact outfit to last Friday night dinner, and there's no way I'm going in there to see my mother wearing the same thing I wore last Friday night because I may not remember but she sure as hell will.
Rory: I don't know.
Lorelai: You don't know. She looks to Chloe for help. Chloe shakes her head.
Rory: You don't remember but you expect me to?
Lorelai: Well, you look at me more than I look at me; you sit across from at dinner. You had more of a chance to imprint my ensemble in your brain.
Rory: Sorry, no imprint.
Chloe: I wouldn't be able to remember either, as I wasn't here!
Lorelai: Oh, that hurts.
Rory: Oh, sure you don't remember what I was wearing.
Lorelai: I most certainly do.
Chloe: No, you don't.
Rory: Okay, what was I wearing?
Lorelai: You were wearing a lovely and delicately understated, uh, outfit…well, you were definitely wearing these arms.
Rory: Oh, way to imprint lady.
Lorelai: Stand in front of me, just in case. She rings the doorbell.
Maid: Hello.
Lorelai: We should be on the guest list. Holstein and Liza are expecting us. The maid looks confused.
Lorelai: Okay. Let's try it straight. He, we're here for dinner. I'm Lorelai the daughter, this is Rory the granddaughter and Chloe is the cousin. My husband is out of town again.
Maid: Oh! Okay, I'm sorry. Right this way. They walk in.
Rory: She's acting weird.
Lorelai: She knows I'm wearing the same outfit as last week.
Chloe: Calm down.
Rory: She wasn't here last week.
Chloe: The same could be said about me.
Lorelai: The world's small, maid's talk.
Rory: About you?
Lorelai: Yes.
Rory: Oh. With all that's going on in the world, all the maids in existence are talking about you.
Lorelai: Huh. Kay, now you're making me seem a little stuck up.
Chloe: Hush.
Maid: Can I get you something to drink?
Lorelai: Yes, a martini please.
Rory: Coke, please.
Chloe: Coke as well.
Lorelai: Oh, you know, maybe we should wait for my mother. Is she coming down soon?
Maid: No.
Lorelai: Oh. Okay. Do you know if she saw what I was wearing through the window?
Maid: Mrs Gilmore isn't here.
Lorelai: She's not.
Rory: Where is she?
Maid: She's at a dinner for the children's hospital.
Chloe: She isn't here.
Lorelai: Oh! So she's not going to be here at all tonight.
Maid: No, I'm afraid not.
Rory: Okay. Well then I guess we can just…
Lorelai: You know, we'll just…go have dinner in the pool house with Dad.
Maid: Oh.
Lorelai: Oh?
Maid: Mr Gilmore is out to town.
Lorelai: He is?
Chloe: He's out of town. How long will he be away?
Maid: Till Tuesday.
Lorelai: Aha. We've officially become afterthoughts.
Maid: Would you like me to make you three, something for dinner?
Rory: Um, well, since everyone's gone, maybe I'll just head back to school. I have a lot of work to do at the paper.
Chloe: That seems boring and what work for the paper, are you doing?
Rory: It's stop secret, I'm still working on it, so I can't tell you.
Lorelai: Yeah. Okay. That would be one option, going back to school. However, another option would be staying here, ordering pizza, and eating dinner on the living room floor on paper plates.
Rory: You're evil!
Chloe: Or clever!
Lorelai: Would you bring us a phone book, please?
Maid: Right away.
Lorelai: Get crazy!
Rory: Okay! They take off their shoes.
Chloe rubs her feet on the carpet. Lorelai: We have to really live it up. Carpe Diem, baby.
Rory: I'm touching the rug with my feet!
Lorelai: Ooh, you're perverse!
Rory: Hey, and when she brings the drinks, let's not use coasters!
Chloe: Let's put our feet up on the furniture.
Lorelai: Hey, I wonder if there's anything in here that we could un-alphabetize.
Rory gasps. Rory: The rug is so soft! Oh, you would not believe!
Lorelai: Gluing everything in this room to the ceiling so that it's in exactly the same place, but upside down, be going too far?
Rory: A little. The maid comes over and hands them the phone book.
Lorelai: Oh, great! Dinner is served.
Yale newspaper office. Late at night. Rory is alone. She finds an article in an old newspaper; headline: "Police Nabs Members of Secret Society". She looks closer at the caption and reads the names "Elias Huntzberger" and "Edward Vanderbilt". She copies the names onto a post it not.
/ Logan's Dorm. Chloe and Logan are at Logan's dorm looking at wedding venues. Chloe is her laptop looking up wedding venues.
Chloe: So, what do you think off this one?
Logan: Gotham Hall, I like the look this one.
Chloe: I like it too. We need to see them in New York.
Logan: So why are looking up wedding venues in New York?
Chloe: We decided we wanted the wedding in New York, right. Logan nods yes. So, Mom and I decided to use the spare time to scout out wedding venues and I'm looking them up before we go.
Logan: You're asking my opinion because?
Chloe: It's your wedding too and I would like your opinion.
Logan: Okay, so what would you like my opinion on?
Chloe: Which of these churches do you like?
Logan: I like the look of St. Patricks Cathedral the most.
Chloe: Me too. So it's decided Mom and I will go and see Gotham Hall and St Patricks Cathedral. If it looks anything like these pictures then I'll reserve the places.
Logan: If they are as good as they look then I'll support you reserving the places. Take pictures of both places and send them to me.
Logan: Hey, I'll miss you, you know that right?
Chloe: I know that look, but we have classes in ten, so we have to move. So rain check?
Logan nods and they walk out of the dorm together.
Lorelai is busy at the inn when she gets a frantic call from Luke. She rushes out of the inn over to Luke's to find Kirk in a hot dog suit advertising lunch at the dragonfly and Luke is seen glaring at him. Luke and Kirk are arguing and Lorelai comes over and ask Kirk what he is doing. He says that he is drumming up lunch business for the dragonfly. Lorelai asks who asked him to do this, but realises who is could have been and escorts Kirk away from Luke's. She also promises this will never happen again.
/ Yale Courtyard. Rory is leaning against a pillar, waiting for Logan or Chloe to walk by. Chloe and Logan have just come out of class and are walking with a friend of Logan's. Logan's friend: It was funny; man you should have been there. Chloe comes up behind Logan and kisses him.
Rory: Hey, Huntzberger!, Hey, Minnie.
Logan: Hey! You waiting on me?
Rory: Could be.
Logan: Wow, I'm flattered.
Chloe: What do you want with Logan?
Rory: Not just Logan you too, Min. Just making an enquiry about something. You might actually be able to help too.
Chloe: How so?
Logan: You here on business or pleasure?
Rory: I just thought maybe I'd give you a chance to respond to my article?
Chloe: I thought you were working on the downloading story currently?
Rory: You were right, there was no new angle. I'm doing an article about the life and death brigade.
Logan: Don't really know what you're talking about.
Chloe: Never heard of it.
Rory: You don't? Huh. I thought you two would. It's a club. One of these super-secret, super exclusive clubs here at Yale, membership spans a thousand centuries, secret handshakes and secret sayings, and a lot of running around in circle in your underwear, that kind of thing.
Logan: Sounds pretty secret.
Chloe: Sounds like fun.
Rory: Yeah, Anyhow, I'm doing sort of an expose on this one particular club and I figured, since you two are in it, maybe you'd like to have both of your point of views included.
Logan: I'm in it?
Chloe: I am as well?
Logan: I've yet to around in a circle in my underwear.
Chloe: The only people who have seen me in my underwear are my closest friends and that's only by accident and Logan.
Rory: Okay. I mean, I have proof that your grandfathers were in it too, which means your father was in it, Logan and your mother was in it too, Chloe. Which should mean that the both of you are in it. But maybe not. Okay.
Logan: Sorry to let you down.
Chloe: I'm sorry to disappoint you.
Rory: No let down or disappointment. It would have been nice, but I have plenty of stuff without you, and I'm sorry to have bothered you guys.
Logan: You have plenty without us, huh?
Chloe: What do you have, then?
Rory: Oh yeah! I have the ball gowns, the girl in the gorilla mask, In Omnia Paratis – very fancy catchphrase, by the way – the license plate on the black SUV, and about a dozen other little things. I mean, getting an interview with two actual members would have been great. But I'm okay without it.
Logan: Well, great.
Chloe: Good for you.
Rory: Yep. Plus I'm completely onto your routine, Logan and I've got Chloe's memorised since we talk all the time.
Logan: Wow.
Chloe: Lorelai, What the hell!
Rory: Yeah. So I figure I'll just track you guys, and you'll eventually lead me there anyway's. So, hey. I mean it would have been easier if you two would just have talked to me now, but I can do it the other way if you want.
Logan: The other way.
Chloe: The harder path.
Rory: Yes.
Logan: You tracking me.
Chloe: Me too?
Rory: Yes.
Logan: Following our every move?
Chloe: Isn't that a little bit extreme.
Rory: Yes I will.
Logan: I pick that way.
Chloe: Let's go.
Rory: Okay, but…
Logan: We can start right now, if you want. We were heading back to my room, I can keep the window open just in case you feel the need to sneak in, and track us from the inside.
Rory: Thanks for the info.
Chloe: See you later. Good luck with the story.
Logan: Absolutely. He starts walking away with Chloe in tow. Hey, good luck with that article. Sounds like a hell of a scoop. Chloe and Logan walk away.
Lorelai confronts Sookie over her behaviour with Kirk. Sookie says it was to drum up lunch business and Lorelai says that there is no lunch and tells her that they all agreed. Sookie protests this by saying she didn't agree and Sookie also says that they only need a little time and the people will come but Lorelai said that Ann said that they couldn't afford lunch. Lorelai is worried about the amount of food going to waste and says that the only person in the dining room is Normal Mailer and says that cancelling lunch is only temporary. Sookie abruptly cancels lunch and yells this to Norman Mailer. Lorelai stops her mid-rant and asks her why she is being nutty. Sookie then realises she is pregnant and tells Lorelai and runs out to tell Normal Mailer.
/ Steph and Chloe's Dorm room. The gang is having an emergency LDB meeting to discuss what to do about the Rory situation?
Steph: Hey, What's up?
Logan: We have news.
Chloe: Who wants the good news or bad news first?
Finn: Good news obviously, Love.
Logan: Well, the good news is that, she didn't recognise Steph. Ace refers to you as Gorilla girl.
Steph: That's good; not the nickname but our anonymity is still safe right?
Chloe: Logan and I were approached by Rory asking about a secret society that my mother and grandfather were a part of. She must have worked out it was my mother's side that are a Yale legacy because Hayden's have always been a Princeton legacy and we are both Hayden's and the Gilmore side of her is a Yale legacy as well.
Logan: She probably would have been more tenacious if you hadn't come along when you did, Bon. You surprised her by your presence; I could see it from the look on her face. She said our motto and that she didn't need us and has enough to go on and that it would have been nice for an actual's members account.
Colin: What does this mean?
Chloe: It means Colin; we need an emergency meeting right now. Chloe turns to Finn. Would you?
Finn: I call this meeting of the honourable life and death brigade commenced.
Colin: So that does she know?
Chloe: She knows or thinks that Logan and I are in this mythological secret society.
Steph: What do we do know?
Colin: It's too late for a cover up, we'll just have to give the exclusive, but with conditions.
Logan: Chloe and I have come up with specific conditions. He shows Colin and he approves and hands it around the group.
Colin: This covers us from all angles, but what if she breaks them?
Finn: The lovely Sheila, won't spill our secrets she seems to rule-abiding and noble.
Chloe: She won't, I'll make sure of it.
Logan: So, which one of us, is going to approach her with the deal about the LDB and if she wants to, her initiation.
Chloe: I think you should, I can't as I'm a relative. But explain to her that she has to accept the conditions before knowing what they are. You can tell her, I'm in it as well if you want.
Colin: When should we invite her to an event?
Steph: I think the next event.
Chloe: Mine and Logan's event.
Finn: That sounds reasonable because you to know all of the details of what is going to happen at the event, so you'll be able to anticipate her actions, Chloe beforehand and we can pick her up and drive her home safely.
Logan: You know, the others won't like having outsiders there.
Chloe: By others, you mean Robert. They nod. If he did his job properly last year we wouldn't be in this situation at all.
Steph: Logan, go and ask Rory now.
Colin: Don't give her any clues. Colin shouts as Logan walks out.
/ Yale Newspaper office. Rory looks up as Logan walks in and over to his desk.
Rory asks if Paris is okay. Paris: Yeah. I think I had some bad host at one of the masses yesterday. She slowly walks away.
Rory gets an IM on her computer.
Logan: Hey Ace, I've got a proposition for you. She looks around and sees Logan watching her and waiting for her reply. She replies.
Rory: Shoot.
Logan: Chloe and I will help you with your article. Get you the inside scoop. You just have to agree to a few conditions.
Rory: What conditions?
Logan: The first condition is you have to agree before you know the conditions. What do you say, Ace? You in or not? Rory smiles and replies.
Rory: I'm in. She looks up from her computer and sees that Logan is gone.
Lorelai, Chris and Luke are talking at the dinner. Lorelai apologises about Kirk and he accepts. Luke looks annoyed at Norman Mailer drinking iced tea and laments on how he is taking up so much space but not ordering anything.
/ Chloe and Steph's Dorm. They are packing for their trip to New York.
Chloe: Steph, we are only going to be there for the weekend, you don't need that much stuff.
Steph: And going your route by only taking a suitcase and buying everything else there… She thinks it through is genius.
Chloe: Thank my mother for it. She taught me her ways.
Chloe goes over and helps Steph with her unpacking. Then a knock on the door occurs.
Chloe: Well, I'll get that.
Chloe zips up her suitcase and her carryon and walks with them to door and answers it to see her mother, Honor, Aunt Lo, Rory and Shira standing there.
Lorelai: You ready to go?
Chloe: Steph's still getting packed.
Elizabeth: Don't just stand there, we're already behind schedule, hurry Stephanie up and get her ready.
Chloe rushes back in. Chloe: Steph, hurry up, everyone's waiting for you!
Steph: Hold on a minute, I'm almost done.
Chloe: Hold on, I'll help. Chloe sits on Steph's only suitcase whilst Steph zips up the suitcase. Chloe jumps up. Then next thing Chloe knows is Steph running out of the room hurriedly with her suitcase.
/ The Limo and the plane ride.
Lorelai: So what is plan for when we get New York?
Chloe: Mom, you explain.
Elizabeth: We are landing late tonight, and are up early tomorrow morning. Then after a quick breakfast, we meet Vera at her studio. She'll ask Chloe what she wants in a dress and take her measurements. While she sketches, the rest of us look at bridesmaid dresses. Sunday night we fly home. Sunday is free to do whatever you want.
Honor: Chlo, have you picked the colours for the wedding?
Chloe: Yes I have, it's blue and silver. Blue bridesmaid dresses with silver in them.
Steph: So Sunday is free, then?
Chloe: Mom, Rory, me and Shira are going to scout out, Churches and reception venues and send pictures back to Logan for us to decide.
Honor: I am so coming with you guys.
Steph: I'm coming as well.
Lorelai: If I must.
The car stops and they all get out and walk towards the jet and get seated in it. Their luggage being carried by the staff.
Chloe: We can still go shopping as well.
Steph: What do you mean?
Chloe: I know all of you and I know that you're dying to go shopping on Fifth Avenue, so after the scouting we can go shopping then.
Lorelai: Really? That would be awesome.
Rory: We can have breakfast at tiffany's!
Chloe: I'll need to set up a registry, but I want to do it with Logan.
They all keep chatting and when they arrive late at night they got straight to bed.
/ New York. Vera Wang's the dress fitting.
Vera Wang: Hello, Elizabeth and Shira. She spies Chloe with them and says Is this the blushing bride to be Lizzie?, she looks just like you.
Elizabeth: She looks more like my mother, but thanks and yes she is the bride to be. Vera meet my daughter Chloe. Chloe, dear meet my dearest friend Vera.
Chloe: Vera, it's nice to finally meet you. Mom talks about you all the time.
Vera: That's nice dear. Why don't we get started. When is the wedding?
Chloe: Early March.
Vera: So a Custom made spring wedding dress then?
Chloe: Yes.
Vera: Why don't you let my assistant take your measurements and I'll work my magic.
Vera's assistant comes over and takes her measurements.
Vera: Now, I heard you were looking for custom made bridesmaid dresses, too. I'll need your bridal party's measurements.
Chloe: They are here with me today and I've decided the dresses will be blue.
Vera: Well, call them over.
Chloe: Honor, Steph and Rory get over here.
They are turn and walk over to them.
Steph: What do you need us for?
Chloe: Vera here needs your measurements for your custom made dresses.
They all nod and agree. Vera asks her assistant to measure them.
Vera pulls Chloe to the side and tells her to go through her dresses book and describe with to her with it, What her perfect dress would be?
Chloe: I want an ivory not white dress that is elegant and not puffy at all.
Vera gets an idea shows and tells her that she'll have the designs for her in a week.
They leave once they give Vera everything she needs.
/ The Next day. The girls are busy drinking coffee and eating a continental breakfast. At Breakfast they are all discussing which places they are going visit.
Chloe: So Gotham Hall, The Foundry and The Glasshouses are the top three reception venues, Logan and I narrowed down.
Lorelai: Are you having the wedding in a church or at a hotel?
Chloe: Church. The church's I have in our top three are. St. Patrick's Cathedral, The Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine and The church in New York City.
Elizabeth: Honey, Do you think we'll have enough time to look at all of them.
Chloe: Mom, in my head, I want Gotham Hall and St. Patrick's Cathedral for my wedding and I just want to see the venues I want.
Lorelai: Then we should go to the ones you want first and if we have time we'll go to the others.
Rory: Is everyone done with breakfast? with many places to be today and not much time at all.
Steph: We need to get going.
Honor: Have you two been practising finishing each other's sentences off?
Rory: No, just a lucky guess.
Lorelai: Rory, You're the maid of honour, right?
Rory: Yep, why?
Lorelai: That means you're planning the hen's night. Don't make it too boring.
Chloe: I'm sure if Rory's gets stuck she can ask Steph for ideas.
Steph: I have a lot of ideas for the hen's night that will blow Finn's bachelor party out of the water.
Rory: If I need help, I'll ask.
Elizabeth pulls them all up and pushes them out of the door and into a nearby limo.
/ Gotham Hall. The girls are having a walking tour to the hall and are told about the amenities and the cost of renting the place and the services they also provide.
Chloe: So what do you guys think? because I love it.
Lorelai: It's a beautiful place.
Rory: I can picture you here with all of the families.
Steph: It's so you and Logan.
Honor: This is the right place for the reception. But we might as well look at the others just in case you like either one of them better.
Chloe: I don't need to Hon. I want this place.
Shira: I think this is the one.
Steph: I can totally picture it with all of us here.
Chloe: Mom? What do you think?
Elizabeth: Oh, honey, you have to choose this place, I don't think anywhere else would be more to your tastes.

Elizabeth comes over with a Priest.
Elizabeth: Chloe, This is Father Joseph and Father, this is my daughter, Chloe. She is getting married in March.

Chloe: Yes, I do, but we are both coming back here to book them together.
Logan: Both the places you went to were spectacular, I'm kind of jealous we didn't see it first together.
Chloe: Hey! I did invite you.
Logan: And accept with death threats coming all sides. So a scale of one to ten, how badly do you miss me?
Chloe: Umm. I don't know…
Logan: You don't know. You don't miss my arms around you, me kissing you into submission and driving you to ecstasy.
Chloe: Okay, fine 10. I miss you so much and I can't wait to see you again.
Logan: Me too. I love you, baby.
Chloe: Me too. So, what have you been doing the last couple of days?
Logan: I've been hanging out with Colin and Finn, nothing interesting. Same old, same old.
Chloe: So no more drama with the LDB.
Logan: No and it's a relief, Colin has finally stopped complaining. There's knock on the door.
Chloe: I've got to go, there's someone at the door.
Logan: Okay, So I'll see you tonight at the private landing strip. I love you. Bye.
Chloe: Me too. Okay, see you soon. Bye. She hangs up.
/ She answers the door and Rory is standing behind it. Chloe: Hey, Lola. What's up?
Rory: I need to ask you something?
Chloe: What do you need to know?
Rory: It's about the deal I made with Logan.
Chloe: Lola, I can't tell you anything until the right time.
Rory: Why not?
Chloe: What part of super-secret society don't you get?
Rory: I know, but I hate not knowing and going into these things blind.
Chloe: I know but all will be revealed soon.
Rory: So how is Logan?
Chloe: How did you…
Rory: You have that smile on your face that you reserve for your guy only.
Chloe: He's fine. He misses me loads and I him. So how's Dean.
Rory: You don't have to ask.
Chloe: No I want to.
Rory: I tried calling but I got his voicemail.
Chloe: Maybe he's asleep or working.
Rory: Maybe. But enough about Dean, this weekend is supposed to be all about you.
Rory and Chloe talk and pack then they meet up with the others and do some late night shopping before taking the jet back to Hartford.
