Richard is admitted to the hospital and Lorelai, Rory and Emily nervously wait for news on his condition. Logan hears about what's happened and borrows a helicopter in order to be there for Rory. Lorelai, however, cannot reach Christopher, who is still angry over their fight, to tell him the news. Lorelai, upset that Emily is focused on her social calendar in order to stay calm, is relieved when Luke arrives unannounced and runs errands for Emily. When Christopher finally arrives, the scene at the hospital is more than he can handle.

Episode Quotes |
| |
Lorelai: Bing, why doesn't anybody name their kid Bing anymore?
Rory: You could have named me Bing.
Lorelai: I thought about it but you didn't look like a Bing.
Rory: I don't even know if I should be insulted.
| Lorelai: It’s not a cliché its more an over used saying like, um, “Sweating bullets” or “It’s as cold as ice”.
Emily: Well, some over-used sayings are true, like “Children should be seen and not heard”.
Lorelai: “Mother knows best”
Emily: “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all”.
| (in the cafeteria)
Emily: Do we like this table or are we too close to that man with the IV. Honestly shouldn’t there be a separate dining area for sick people, doesn’t seem right.
| Emily: Gilmore! Richard Gilmore! I'm his wife, and I would like to see him now.
Nurse: I’m sorry he's in the cath lab right now getting an angiogram. But the doctor will come find you as soon as they're done.
Emily: There's no need to be cheery about it.
Nurse: I didn’t mean --
Emily: Honestly someone with your chipper personality ought to be a weather girl or a preschool teacher.
Nurse: I'm sorry you feel that way.
Emily: Oh, please. Don't mope.
| Emily: You do know how to drive a European car, don't you?
Lorelai: Mom.
Luke: Absolutely. Don't worry.
Emily: There's nothing to yank. It's a Jaguar, not a lawn mower.
| Logan: Emily, Lorelai, I'm so sorry. How are you holding up?
Lorelai: We're holding.
Emily: Logan, it was so good of you to come.
Logan: Is there anything at all I can get for you? A cup of tea, maybe?
Lorelai: Oh, I already asked her. She doesn't want tea.
Emily: I would love a cup of tea, Logan. That is very kind of you.
Logan: I'm on a tea hunt, then. (he leaves)
Emily: That's a fine young man there, Rory.
Rory: Yeah, I like him.
Emily: He's one of the good ones.
| Emily: These are things that need to be dealt with.
Lorelai: No what has to be dealt with is that Dad could be dying. What you're dealing with is phone calls and a checklist. You're not his secretary. You're his wife.
Emily: Yes and what do you know about being a wife? You've been married for what, 40 days? That's nothing. Your father and I have been married for over 40 years. For two-thirds of my life, I have been the wife of Richard Gilmore. I run his household. I plan his meals. I buy his clothes, entertain his business associates. When he loses his reading glasses, I find them. When he wants a nightcap, I make it for him. If he can't remember the name of a colleague's wife, I whisper it in his ear. That's what I do. I take care of him. That's my job. That's who I am. If I could be performing his surgery right now, I would be, but I can't. It's out of my hands. It's out of my hands, and there's nothing I can do but wait. I could lose him, Lorelai. He's my whole life, and there's nothing I can do.
