Susanna Gilmore is a small-town girl, and she loves everything about it. Now, she and her sister are going from a public school to an elite private school. Despite feeling like she doesn't belong, she determined to make it.
Jess and Anna were driving to Star Hollow for the weekend to attend his mother's wedding. "That was weird." She hung up the phone.
"What?" He drank the cherry Slurpee he got at their last stop.
"I called my grandma to set up a mani-pedi. She agreed but when I said I would pick her up from the house, she got weird." She stares at the phone like it could explain what happened.
"Weird how?" He asks.
"She was talking fast, so what I could understand was she forgot about a DAR meeting. She hung up on me. Something is wrong." She pushed two where she had her mother on speed dial.
"She forgot a meeting and maybe she was in a rush." He shrugged.
"We didn't set up a day or a time yet." She waited for the ringing to stop. "Hello, mom."
"Hey Anna, you're heading over today, right?" She walked around the Inn.
"Yes, I called Grandma so we can do our nails together. She was excited until I said I would pick her up. She made up an excuse when we didn't set a time or day yet." She explained the odd behavior.
"Oh well... I ah.... Was hoping to put this off as long as possible, but you're coming this Friday night so I should tell you." She was dancing around it.
"Tell me what?" She was getting worried.
"Emily and Richard are separated." She told her.
"What?" She screamed, making Sauske sit up on her lap to look up at her. "How do you know that? Did they tell you?"
"No, I noticed they were being odd. Their details of what they did that day weren't matching up. So, I hid in the bushes after dinner and saw her get into a car with a bag. I called all the hotels and found out she was staying in one." She informed her.
"So, they don't know we know." She was trying to process it.
"No. Rory hasn't been any help in getting them to crack, so you have to help me." She knew she could count on her.
"What happens after they crack?" She wondered about the game plan.
"We can get to the bottom of the problem and see if we can help." She gave the rest of her plan.
"Okay, I will do that. I'm surprised that you want to help them." She thought she would be fine if they got a divorce.
"Of course. If they break up, that would double the holiday events and weekly dinners." She wasn't going to suffer more.
"Okay, you can pretend that's the motive. I'll see you in a couple of hours." She said I love you and goodbye before hanging up.
"So, what's going on?" Jess wonders.
"My grandparents are separated. They are trying to keep it a secret. My mom and I have to drag it out of them this Friday to get to the bottom of the problem and get them back together." She pets the ragdoll on her lap slowly.
"You look like an evil genius when you do that." Jess watches her go into deep thought about how to make them crack.
