Emily's. The doorbell rings. Richard practically bolts down the hall, shouting, "They're here!" He tells Emily to hurry. Richard cannot believe the size of the tote bag Rory has brought with her. It contains all of the recent issues of the Yale Daily News, her bylines highlighted. Emily walks up, beaming, waiting to be praised with lavish gushing from Rory for getting Lorelai and Luke back together. But Rory's still pretty short with her grandmother. They head into the living room. Oh, pretty dress, Rory. Emily's newest help asks if she should put the salads out now. Emily scolds Olympia for not reading everything she wrote down for her, including when to serve salads. Rory asks if someone else is coming, other than the three of them, since Lorelai isn't coming. This appears to be news to Richard and Emily. Before Richard can explain the confusion, Emily interrupts to say this is another one of Olympia's mistakes: "Olympia, it was three for dinner, not four." Emily turns back to Rory and Richard. "Well, she's fired," she says. Emily tells Richard to take Rory to the living room so that she can clear that silly fourth place herself.
