Rory calls her Lorelai, "Mom," Rory says crying slightly. "Are you sure? Are you sure this was the right thing to do? I mean I was engaged to Logan! Shouldn't I have given him another chance."
Lorelai replies, " Honey, I'm sure you made the right choice. Logan stole from the music store in the mall. We all know he could afford to pay, but he didn't. You don't want a man of those morals one day raising children with you. Come to Stars Hollow. It's Friday you don't want to spend your first weekend as a Senior at Yale sitting in your dorm room, alone, or worse with Paris."
"Fine, mom. I'll go find some party to go to or something. I'll see how Marty's doing." Rory said vaguely.
"I don't trust you. The second I hang up, you will pick up a book and sit on that couch, and then you'll get depressed again. Get in your car. Drive to Stars Hollow. I'll get Luke to go camping, or something and we can wallow just the two of us for old time sake." Lorelai insisted.
"Fine." Rory said. It sounded as if she was giving in, but deep down she knew that there was no one she'd rather spend the night with, than with Lorelai.
"Hey Luke. Rory's still sort of depressed about the whole Logan thing. You know how much I love you but…" Lorelai said.
"You want me to get out of the house so you can have a girls night. I know. It's ok I'm going to go camping, I haven't gone in a while anyway." Luke said.
Rory comes in and before she can sit down, Lorelai says, "let's go." Rory understood exactly what her mother meant, and they both began walking to Doose's to get candy. They walked down all of the aisles, only excluding the one with the fruits and vegetables.
They went to the cash register to go pay and a familiar voice said, "It must be a Gilmore movie night."
"Dean?" Lorelai said.
"Dean!" Rory said instinctively excited to see an old friend.
Lorelai said nothing, at the movie night comment because she didn't know how much, Rory wanted Dean knowing. Rory corrected him, "Actually, wallowing."
Dean understood and gave a nod, but nothing more. He bagged all of the junk food and said, " Well maybe we could get a cup of coffee sometime." He smiled. Rory loved his smile, and it seemed to be the one thing that kept her from thinking of Logan.
The split second Rory and Lorelai exited the market, Rory began yelling, "How could you not tell me Dean is back!"
"I didn't know!" Lorelai answered. And for a moment they were both silent, this was a strange occurrence for the two of them, but they were thinking about what had just happened. When they got back home, they forgot about wallowing and started spitting out questions trying to make sense of the situation.
"Is he visiting?" Rory began.
"He was working here, do you think he moved?" Lorelai suggested.
" Why is he was he working at Doose's?" Rory asked.
"Maybe, he needs the money." Lorelai said. This wouldn't have surprised either of them, finances were never ideal for Dean.
"Is he still married?" Rory asked.
"He wasn't wearing a ring." Lorelai said. The girls were getting frustrated at all of the unknowns and finished the night pigging out and watching movies. Dean was right after all; it was a movie night.
