Strapped for cash, Lorelai (Lauren Graham) reluctantly accepts a job from her mother Emily (Kelly Bishop), agreeing to cater the launch party for dad Richard's new business venture. Unfortunately, Emily proves to be as impossible an employer as she is a parent -- and to top it off, the party is scuttled by Richard's new partner Jason (Christopher Eigeman), in favor of a wild Atlantic City bash. Elsewhere, Kirk (Sean Gunn) stages a "test-run" for his date with Lulu (Rini Bell), his brother's former girlfriend; and Rory (Alexis Bledel) is having difficulty keeping up with her studies, thanks to her irksome roommates.
