Janet is going to Florida for spring break. She invites Paris and Rory, but they’re going to stay on campus and stage a protest, something about Burmese prisoners. They set up their table in the courtyard, but it’s freezing and nobody is signing their petition anyway because everyone is on spring break. When it starts raining, Paris and Rory run inside and get under their covers. They decide to go to Florida after all.

Luke is crabby. He tells Lorelai it’s because he’s not wearing his own socks. He spent the night at Nicole’s, and when he got up in the morning and got some socks out of the drawer, he realized the socks were someone else’s. He calls Lorelai one night and asks her to come pick him up because he’s in jail. He waited outside his and Nicole’s place until she rolled up in some guy’s car. After she and the guy went inside, Luke kicked the guy’s car over and over again until a cop showed up and hauled him away.

Jason gives Lorelai a key to his apartment and she makes sure the conversation is as awkward as possible because I guess she doesn’t understand the significance of the key. He later tells her that they’re at a point in their relationship where he usually breaks it off, but he doesn’t want to break up with her and in fact he wants to see more of her.

Paris throws a lot of money around in Florida and manages to get a tent on the beach with chairs and refreshments. Madeline and Louise (who, let’s face it, always belonged in Florida on a perpetual spring break) show up. They’ve been on spring break for a month and they’ve realized they can get all kinds of free stuff from guys if they make out with each other. They take Paris and Rory to a club, and Paris wants to know why everyone else is having more fun than they are. Paris wants to have a real spring break, so she kisses Rory and then asks how good a kisser she is.

The girls get drunk together later, and Madeline goes through Rory’s phone and calls Dean. So Rory leaves him a drunken message and then hangs up. Later that night, Paris and Rory sit on the beach and realize they’ve had about as much fun as they can stand. They decide to use some of Paris’ frequent flyer miles to go home early.

Some girl: Is it raining?

Paris: No, it’s National Baptism Day. Tie your tubes, idiot.
