Rating: 3.7/6

This is the first appearance of Katie Walder (Janet) since "Last Week Fights, This Week Tights" and this is also her last appearance on the series.

This episode marks the first time that Luke and Lorelai break up.

Lorelai: Hey, Luke, it's me. I know I'm not supposed to be calling, but I am not doing really great right now, and … I was just wondering if, do you remember in 'The Way We Were', how Katie and Hubbell broke up because his friends were joking and laughing, and the president had just died, and she yelled at them and he was mad and he was going out to Hollywood, and, I mean, which she hated, and he broke up with her and she was really upset. And she called him and asked him if he would come over and sit with her because he was her best friend and she needed her best friend, and he did. And they talked all night, and they went out to Hollywood, which was a disaster, but it was good at first. With the boat, and uh, putting the books away. I've seen this movie a lot, so if you don't remember the putting the books away scene, don't feel stupid or anything. I was just sitting here thinking about it, because I, um, I'm in my house, and I was just, uh… Could - please come over. I - please. Really need to see you and talk to you, and please - come over. Please. Come – Oh, my God.

Lorelai: (crying, about Luke) He could have been the one.
Rory: I know.

Lorelai: I'm so sorry, Luke. I will never do this to you ever again. I am absolutely humiliated. I was hurting, and I knew if I called you you'd come. I never should have done that.
Luke: It's okay.
Lorelai: No, it's not okay. It's not okay. I am not that girl. I am not the one who cries and falls apart and calls her ex-boyfriend to come and save her. Thank you so much for coming, and for breaking my door. You're an amazing guy for doing that. (hands him a tape)
Luke: What's that?
Lorelai: It's the tape from your answering machine.
Luke: From my answering machine?
Lorelai: The last crazy thing you will ever have to endure from me, I promise. I just want you to know that I heard you when you said that you're out. I did. I'm going to respect that from now on.

Michel: (about the dolls) You're feeding them? They have no opposable thumbs!
Sookie: The girls have no thumbs? Aww! It's a handicapped girls party?
Michel: No, the dolls!
Sookie: Dolls can be handicapped?
