Lane gives Rory phone numbers and all the info she needs to report her missing to Interpol when she leaves for Korea for the summer, still convinced she might not be coming back. Rory goes to build a house with her pink feather hammer. Paris tells Rory about impressing Harvard by doing charity since fourth grade, which freaks Rory out since she thought studying her ass off would be enough. Dean isn't a fan of all the extracurriculars. Rory claims the local library only has twelve books.

Lorelai calls her mother out on being a jerk, and her mother responds by calling Lorelai out on not telling her about the wedding before she had told everyone else. Lorelai discovers that Sookie is preparing a wedding shower with lots of pink frosting. Kirk expresses concern that the gazebo can't hold up all the little girls tap-dancing, which gives Rory a chance to show off her knowledge of two-by-fours that she learned building a house the previous day. Rory and Dean make up. Jackson tells Sookie he's not ready for marriage, but is willing to move in with her, which cracks her up. Lorelai apologizes to her mother and asks her wedding fashion advice.
