It's halfway through August, Rory's touring Italy "the way it's meant to be done" with Emily, and Lorelai has never been so glad to have the house to herself, because there's no way she can explain the slow, creeping want that she's suffering from, just because she promised her daughter that she would Take It Slow With Luke.
