* GilliganCut: Clare's friends say she should tell Laurie she's a lesbian too. She says no, that's weird and pathetic. She then proceeds to announce it point-blank, apropos of nothing. Played with, in that ''there is no cut''. A classic GilliganCut involves a cut, which suggests elapsed time during which the person is talked into it. Here it's all one scene and Clare just flips in the moment.
