And I Think It's Gonna Be A Long, Long Time

The morning after! Rory wakes up in Logan's empty apartment, surrounded by the detritus of the swinging bash she threw him and finds that he's left her a beautifully wrapped...model rocket ship. Summer has started, and Rory is at a loss without him. Paris gives her a lecture to enlighten her about her limbo status. Lorelai, on the other hand, is experiencing nothing so romantic as that. She opens her eyes to the gross reality of last night's mistake -- she really did slept with Christopher. When Luke arrives at her house later that morning to discuss things, she tells him "it's over" and gives him the brush off. It's not the only bad news he's getting today. Taylor (annoyingly) informs him of a new red light to be installed in front of the diner that will require his power to be cut off. Except that what actually happens is that Kirk, during a demonstration of the system, DRIVES his CAR, through Luke's DINER. To heal their broken hearts, Lorelai and Rory decide to "not talk." So...they spend several minutes talking about not talking, and decide the best thing they can do to keep from talking is to play racquetball. This doesn't work, but they do have an hilarious conversation on the court about Logan's rocket (not like that), the meaning of which Rory finally discovers, though her heart is broken anew when he asks her to come to London at Christmas instead of the summer. After his diner tragedy, Luke realizes that he is ready to marry Lorelai and makes a desperate plea for them to get back together. She, however, insists that it's over and finally reveals to him that she slept with Chris.
