The Incredible Shrinking Lorelais: Lorelai and Rory each have a really bad week when Lorelai runs out of money and feels like she has no help at the inn. Rory is running out of time and is getting to the point where professors are suggesting that she drop classes. Both women are in tears by the end of the episode and run to the only place that makes sense. No, not their best friends; they run to the warm arms of their married fake boyfriends.

AKA: Proof that CuteDean is better.
