that is awesome! so rachel was reading "carrie" and that is also what juliet chose for the book club. maybe that's why ben was a bit perturbed with her, she was dwelling to much on her "past" life. it make the whole, "downtown" song and tears make more sense. at least to me. for some reason that song probably reminded her of her sister, she was getting ready to go over the book her sister read, was reminiscing, hence the tears, the distractedness (to burn the muffins). this is exactly why i loved this episode.
