We talk about our actual wedding and discuss about why we didn’t have Jordan Almonds. We see that Lorelai is graduating from community college and Simon and Abby debate whether there is a discontinuity of whether Lorelai graduated from High school or got her GED. Abby spends minutes complaining about how Rory makes coffee. Simon doesn't understand Abby’s problem. We speculate on the bad relationship between Lorelai and Richard and Emily as for why he doesn’t want them at her graduation. We while explaining Christopher's gifts to Lorelai look at how one creates a pearl if it is not being taken from a clam.   We look at Rory coming to New York to see Jess, while also debating whether the proprietor of the record store they go to is meant to be on the spectrum . Then we move to Lorelai at the graduation and her issues with Emily bringing a camera guy. Simon explains why Shakey’s Pizza, a real restaurant that is now defunct was a bad pizza place. Simon then also goes into a extended explaination on the career of guest star Seth Macfarlane who plays the self important graduate Zach. We talk about issues of riding a bus.

We start by talking about how often Luke closes the diner then move to talk about diner style restaurant as a whole and their relative decline in the United States. Abby then vigorously defends her caffeine addiction. We question why Michel would go to a diner every day.  We  consider whether Dean’s reaction to finding out about the accident with Rory’s Car was to much or actually was a tame reaction.  We talk about both the story of Nanook of the North, and The Wind Done Gone with Simon assuring that Gone with the Wind is historically inaccurate . Simon then reminisces about Office Max and how it has changed since 2002. We look at the continuing theme of Jess being blamed entirely for the car accident and everyone being patronizing to Rory. We discuss the decline of music stores, and question Carol King’s cultural background and her character Sophies own cultural background to explain her charity to Lane later. Both of us engage in fan canoning on whether Babette was a Hari Krishna. Simon and Abby discuss Richard’s reasons for wanting Lorelai to be his secretary, suggesting it is sentimental even if it is a bit ridiculous. Simon explains the plot of the movie The Jazz Singer. We end with a massive freakout by Abby about the Donuts Luke allowed Lorelai to eat at the end.
