Who knows what day it is, but Lorelai's running down the stairs dressed and Rory's wearing her Chilton outfit and Lorelai thinks that even though they're late, they still have time for breakfast at Luke's. How late can they be if they can sit around a diner for some time? Rory jokes that Lorelai forgot to put her pants on and Lorelai momentarily falls for it. There's a debate about whether the clock is wrong, and Lorelai offers to drive Rory to school this morning since she'll miss her bus if she goes to Luke's. Again, how late could Lorelai be if she can drive in and out of Hartford (which is more than thirty minutes away, right?)? Lorelai suddenly remembers Dwight's lawn -- a lawn that's obviously been neglected over these past few ambiguous days. Lorelai says they can still do the lawn and do Luke's, even though Rory doesn't see how this is possible. How long is Dwight out of town, anyway?
