In this episode we have a lot of straw sounds as we consume our Haagen Dazs chocolate-chocolate milk shakes. We question how Lane could go to The Rocky Horror Picture Show due to Mrs. Kim. Then Simon talks about his research into termites and which type of North American termites are destructive in the manner this episode intones is happening to the house, not the kind in Connecticut it turns out. We expand that into discussing how they wouldn’t likely be a issue for house in Connecticut, but in fact a problem in California and how it seems like its a common plot point in shows due to so many TV shows being filmed in California. We discuss PSAT scores when we were in High School. We have a small discussion about Rory and Lorelai fight about the need for a loan and asking help from Richard and Emily. We discuss whether Lorelai is being too stubborn as a whole about getting helped. We have a bit questioning the amount Lorelai is actually making as a manager of The Independence Inn. And conclude with questioning whether Emily always intended to “help” out Lorelai all so she both have something over both Lorelai and her fellow DAR members with getting it so that her organization now has a permanent meeting place at The Independence Inn.
