Excited about catering the wedding, Sookie pressures Lorelai to set a date, but Lorelai won't commit. While completing her community service hours, Rory takes a job at Emily's DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution) office. Convinced that she has a rival for the job of DAR president, Emily uses Rory as her spy. Logan returns from Europe and returns to Yale, forcing Rory to confront her true feelings about dropping out of college. Lane and her band return from their summer on the road. Luke agrees to take care of Lorelai's dog, Paul Anka, while she works late at the inn, and ends up rushing the dog to the vet. Finally, Lorelai admits to Luke her reason for putting off their wedding.

Episode Quotes
 
Lorelai: Hey, check out this trick we just taught Paul Anka. Hey, Paul Anka. Pizza! (He barks) Pizza! Pizza! (He barks twice) Salad. (He sits quietly and everyone laughs except for Luke) Good boy, good boy.
 
Luke: Your muffins.
Lorelai: My what?
Luke: You left me an urgent message about needing muffins.
Lorelai: Oh, right! Muffins, boys!
Luke: These were for them?
Lorelai: Oh, no, they were for me. I thought I'd try to eat my weight in muffins today.
Luke: Does the dog have to sit in the chair like that?
Lorelai: Like what? His posture's perfect.
Luke: You know chairs are for people?
Lorelai: Not that chair. That's Paul Anka's chair.
Luke: Dogs are filthy. They have fleas and malaria on them. You shouldn't have fleas and malaria in the room that you're going to eat in.
Lorelai: I don't eat in here. They do.
 
Luke: I’ll gather up your stuff.
Lorelai: Last time you gathered my stuff you accidentally brought me 4 bras and no pants.
Luke: That could have been intentional.
 
Lorelai: Luke?
Luke: Yeah?
Lorelai: I don’t want to set a wedding date until things are right with Rory.
Luke: Okay.
 
Michel: She can't commit to a purse, much less a man.
 
Lorelai: Oh, now I just have to figure out what to do with Paul Anka. You know, I've never left him alone so late before, and he might start doing that howling thing the neighbors are so fond of. But, oh, that's okay. So. Oh, you know, I guess I could just leave him here and I could come back and get him after work, which will be, oh, two, three, four in the morning. Boy. Late. Or I could drop him off at a kennel for a few hours. I know there's a good one in Woodbridge, twenty miles away. Of course, I'd have to leave now and pick up some dilithium crystals on the way, to fix the warp drive in my Jeep so that I could drive there and back in time to meet the wedding party back at the inn, but that's doable. Yeah. And then of course by the time I get off work and drive all the way back there, the kennel will definitely be closed, so I'd have to break in, and that would set off some kind of security system, and then I'd be arrested, so I should probably put a nail file in my shoe, and how much longer are you going to make me do this?
Luke: I just wanted to see how long you'd go on.
Lorelai: Well, you know my babbling capabilities are infinite.
