We open with Lorelai and Rory watching a video or documentary or something about two Edies in the Kennedy family. I have no idea who these women are. Is it because I'm too young, or because I live under a political rock? I mean, an entire opening teaser centered around two women and a videotape I'm unfamiliar with. I hate it. ["It's a cult-favourite documentary called Grey Gardens. Rufus Wainwright wrote a song about it." -- Wing Chun] Rory bemoans the current sadness that is Little Edie: "She's just trying to sing but her mom won't stop talking." Lorelai says she can't believe these women were related to Jackie. Rory says that the Kennedys hid them away from the public. Lorelai: "Well, when you're a Kennedy, how do you even choose who in the family to hide?" We watch the women on the tape sing and bicker some more. Lorelai says there's something beautiful about the women, how cool and free they are. Rory appreciates how memorable they are, commenting that "most people are forgettable," which is a statement I don't think Rory would ever make. Also, how memorable could these ladies be? Lorelai and Rory giggle and root for the girls until they realize they're about ten years away from being those women themselves. It scares Rory much more than it frightens Lorelai. Then it frightens Lorelai, but still not as much.
