DEAN: Thanks.

(Dean mouths "happy birthday" as he leaves. Rory smiles to herself.)

[Rory in the yard with Dean aft her birthday party.]

RORY: You didn't have to get me anything.

DEAN: That's OK. This is better.

(Rory unwraps the gift.)

RORY: Oh my God. It's beautiful.

DEAN: Well, I bought the medallion and I just cut some leather straps and drilled a hole, and well, you like it?

RORY: I -- it's amazing.

DEAN: Good.

RORY: Thank you.

DEAN: Here.

(Dean ties it around Rory's wrist. They smile at each other. Lorelai is still watching from the window.)
