Sookie wants to date Jackson and they agree to go out, but then Jackson says he needs to have his cousin Rune with him, so Sookie asks Lorelai to double-date with them. Lorelai hates blind dates, but Sookie says that's what best friends do for each other and Lorelai has to agree.
Lane asks Rory to set up a date for her and a guy she likes named Todd, who she thinks might be her soul mate. She wants Dean to get Todd to go out with her. So that's another double-date. Rory doesn't tell her mother that she and Lane are going to meet Dean and Todd, just Dean. Then Lane finds out that Todd is a real dud. Mrs. Kim freaks out that she doesn't know where Lane is and, which she finds her at the movies, grounds her indefinitely.
Sookie and Jackson don't have much to say to each other at the French restaurant, where Sookie talks gaily to Lorelai, almost ignoring Jackson. Lorelai gets her to the side and tells her she has to start talking to "the one you might go home with tonight." Jackson's cousin, Rune, is a real pill who thinks Lorelai is freakishly tall. Lorelai gets them all to leave the fancy restaurant and head over to Luke's, where she sits at the counter and engages Luke is a friendly hand of draw poker. Rune finally leaves, and Jackson and Sookie finally hit it off. Later, Lorelai tells Rory that Sookie and Jackson have had three dates in a single week, so that ended up well.
