Rory meets Paul Anka for the first time, and Lorelai convinces her that if she puts sugar on her toes and lets the dog lick it off, he’ll like her. Lorelai takes Rory to Luke’s and then to the inn to show everyone that she’s back. Michel is really happy to see her, but quickly recovers and says he was just surprised.

Lane has noticed that all the songs Zack writes have girls’ names and she’s a little annoyed. He says nothing rhymes with Lane, but Brian says he thinks he can come up with something. He starts writing a song called “Lane” and Zack gets jealous and goes nuts. The band has a gig, and Zack shows up for sound check with a tambourine player and a Gwen Stefani mic. The show is a disaster because Zack is yelling at everyone and freaking out. Zack kicks Brian’s amp amp and Gil tackles him. They all get dragged offstage. Lane finds Zack outside asks him what the hell happened. He says this is why people in bands shouldn’t date.

Christopher calls and says he has news, so Lorelai goes to have lunch with him. He says his grandfather died and left him with a ton of money, and he wants to take care of Lorelai and Rory. Lorelai, of course, says she wants nothing, but Rory says she wouldn’t mind him paying for Yale so she can get out from under the grandparents. Thanksgiving Day, Rory and Lorelai go have lunch with Christopher and Rory asks him to pay for Yale.

Liz is hanging around Luke’s, using his kitchen to make her turkey, and Luke tells her about April. Liz thinks it’s a little weird that he hasn’t told Lorelai yet. Anyway, Liz’s dinner doesn’t turn out right, so the Renaissance Fair crowd has dinner with her and Luke at the Dragonfly. Lorelai tells Luke about her meeting with Christopher, and Luke says it’s fine. Then he goes to the other room and tries to call April, but nobody answers. Logan’s sister, Honor, calls Rory and says she hates that she and Logan broke up. Rory thought they were just on a break and she’s upset to hear that Logan is telling people they’re totally broken up.

Michel, to Rory: It’s kind of okay that you are here.

Christopher: You want some people-crushing money?

Rory: You don’t know what it was like to be living with them.

Lorelai: Hello! Oppressed one, class of ’85.
