After helping Sookie to ask Jackson out, Lorelai finds out that the only way for Jackson and Sookie to go out is for Lorelai to go with them on a double date. Lorelai reluctantly accepts, ending up with the date from hell -- Jackson's cousin Rune. Meanwhile, Rory and Lane double date with Dean and his friend Todd without telling their mothers where they actually are. Later, Luke finally gets up the courage to ask Lorelai out, but Mrs. Kim interrupts when she cannot find Lane.

Episode Quotes |
| |
Sookie: You will not regret this.
Lorelai: Pick another phrase.
Sookie: You will not have to pay.
Lorelai: Much better. | Lorelai: I have like six thousand pages of case studies to memorize and this whole big test on the Wal-Mart phenomena coming up on Friday and because I have a life, and a job and business school's not the only thing I have to concentrate on, I'm behind and I'll probably fail, and then that little eighteen year old annoying gnat who sits behind me will get another A and make that 'I'm smart, you're dumb' face to me for the rest of the week and I'll be very upset and will possibly cry.
Rory: The music's too loud?
Lorelai: Yes.
Rory: Got it. | Lorelai: Who the hell is that anyways?
Rory: Claudine Longet.
Lorelai: The chick who shot the skier?
Rory: Uh, sure, why not.
Lorelai: Wow - renaissance woman. | Lorelai: Of course, if she tells me the story of how Jackson cultivates his own mealworms to help fertilize his plants one more time, I'm going to Romeo and Juliet them both.
Rory: It's sweet.
Lorelai: Mealworms.
Rory: Gross, but sweet. | Lane: You know Dean?
Rory: My boyfriend?
Lane: Yeah.
Rory: Yeah, I do. | Michel: Well, not everyone is cut out to be their own boss. Maybe you are more of a worker bee, a follower, a ticket ripper, or the man at the concert with the orange glow stick directing you were to park. | Rory: I do not want to incur the wrath of Luke.
Lorelai: Why not? It's fun! |
