We open this episode (with a filthy name, if you are so inclined – and I am) in Luke’s crumbling diner. His apartment renovation is causing plaster to fall on people as they try to cram as many pancakes as possible into their gaping maws. Add safety regulations to the list of things that don’t exist in this universe.
Actual gif of construction being (safely!) done on Luke’s apartment.
Something is seriously wrong with Spacey Grandpa. We start this episode with Judgy WASP Mom and Spacey Grandpa embroiled in a fight – he’s been turning down all social engagements on their behalf, even though Judgy WASP Mom is on the committee of several of the organizations. He says it’s because he’s “too busy” to attend. Can’t Judgy WASP Mom go on her own? Or does the very idea that a woman would attend an event without her husband a clear sign of my “poor breeding?”
That is what this episode is about after all – Rory being presented to the very best of society as a lady of “good breeding.” She’s like a show pony!!
EXT. BEACH – DAWN
JEN lies facedown on the beach, unmoving. Her clothes are tattered, her hair wet and matted. Blood trickles slowly from the corner of her mouth and drips onto the pristine white sand. This is it. This is the end.
Suddenly, dawn BREAKS on the horizon. The sun shines onto Jen’s face. Her eyes squint in response and she raises her face toward the restorative light.
JEN
(whispering)
It’s over…The Discount Braff wedding arc is over…
Joyful tears pour down Jen’s cheeks. She smiles. She’s made it. She’s survived.
