Next thing you know, we're at a town meeting talking about the serious stuff like birds relieving themselves. Suddenly, this dude barges in with flowers. His name is Jes'us and he wants to talk to Miss Patti. Before the meeting ends, Taylor announces that he's refusing the town loner's request to protest in the town square.
When Luke, Laurali and Rory talk out, they see Jess driving a car...a car Luke didn't know he had. Luke goes to talk to him and is like where did you get this and how did you pay for it? In his typical Jess way, he is incredibly vague.
Back at the Gilmore residence, Rory gets a letter in the mail. It's an invitation to Sherry's baby shower which Lorelai thinks is weird since they haven't had any contact with Christopher in months....except that's not true. Rory has secretly been talking to her dad. Rory decides she's goign to go and Loralei is going to drive her to Boston.
Luke goes down to Gypsie to see if Jess really did buy the car for her. It all checks out.
The spiritual leaders in the community are considering letting the town loner protest on the church steps. Taylor is beside himself.
Lane and Rory walk by the car and Lane can't believe it. JEss wrecked your car and then bought a car for himself? Jess comes up and it leads to a whole argument.
Lorelai goes to drop Rory off but Sherry begs Lorelai to come in too. We get full baby shower montage. We find out that apparently Christopher is the baby person and is pumped about this baby while Sherry isn't super thrilled. Then Sherry thanks Loralai for helping make Christopher so commited. to raising this baby because when he came back to town after hanging out with her, he came back a changed man. Lorelai runs into the bathroom and has a full meltdown.
Jess gets home and finally comes clean to Luke - he got a job at Walmart. Naturally Luke gives him a hard time.
Sherry makes Rory and Lorelai take a box full of Deviled Eggs. To help cheer her mom up, Rory pitches throwing the eggs at Jess' new car.
The next day, it's protest time. The crowd watches the town lowner show up with something rolled up. HE climbs to the top of the church steeple. He unrolls the banner. but it's backwards and then it rips.
JEss sees the eggs and is real mad much to Rory and Loralai's delight.

CAST & CREW OF: GILMORE GIRLS (SEASON 3 EPISODE 5)Lauren Graham as Lorelai GilmoreAlexis Bledel as Rory GilmoreBRAN’S GILMORE GIRLS (SEASON 3 EPISODE 5) SYNOPSISThe Gilmore Girls show up at Luke’s diner and Luke is grumpy because there’s a big table of parents with babies at the diner. He hates them. Classic Luke.
Emily calls Lorelai and invites her to an auction that’ll have furniture that may be great for the inn. When Michel finds out, he BEGS to go!
Lorelai gets home and meets a new neighbor named Dwight who asks if she’d be willing to turn on and off his sprinkler system at his house, which he calls the Oasis, while he’s out of town. She reluctantly agrees.
At the auction, Lorelai goes to get a drink and bumps into Jon Hamm and the chemistry is nuts. She doesn’t get his name, so when she gets home, she calls the auction house to try to get his name. Obviously, they can’t.
So at Friday night dinner, she awkwardly gets his name from Emily. It’s Peyton.
The next day, Lorelai and Rory have to run by the Oasis before they head to Luke’s. Dwight left her a note asking if she’d also be willing to go inside and water the violets. She gets a call from Peyton and he asks her out for dinner and also to a David Bowie concert.
She ends up coming back by 10:15p because Peyton is real boring. But when Emily finds out that she doesn’t want to go on a 2nd date with him, it doesn’t go well.
Later, Lorelai gets a call from Dwight asking if she’d be willing to change from watering 2 times a day to 3 times a day. Lorelai has to get to work, so she asks Rory if she could go for her.
Lorelai gets a call from Richard and apparently Richard is very concerned about the ramifications of her not going on a 2nd date with Peyton. He begs her to go on a 2nd date so that Emily doesn’t lose her prime tea spot.
Rory runs into an issue with the sprinklers and can’t get ahold of Dean. She runs to go get him but bumps into Jess first. He runs over and saves the day. They then sit there, soaking wet, making eyes with each other. He finds out Dean is on the way to help so he turns the sprinklers back on and goes on his way.
At Friday night dinner, Lorelai apologizes for not thinking about how going out on a date with Peyton might affect her and she’ll go on a 2nd date if she really wants her to. Emily smiles and says it means so much that she’d even offer that and to be sure to pack the blue sweater when she goes.

BRAN’S GILMORE GIRLS (SEASON 2 EPISODE 19) SYNOPSIS
Lorelai and Rory are at Doose’s, commenting on the new bagger. They go to check out, and Taylor invites them to the movie in the park. Lorelai wants to know what movie they’re picking, but he refuses to answer.
It finally comes out that the movie is going to be The Yearling for the fourth straight time. Taylor is fed up with Lorelai complaining and says she can just pick the movie.
They head home and begin talking through movie options, but they can’t decide!
Meanwhile, Lane is in class taking a test when Jess sneaks in late while the teacher isn’t looking. He asks Lane for a pen—not to take the test, but to make notes in his book.
Luke ends up getting a call to come to the principal’s office. Jess is a problem. He’s doing absolutely no work, he’s not nice to his teachers, and baseballs are going missing. The principal says he has to hire Rory a tutor. She needs serious help.
Later, at Luke’s, Taylor comes in with a binder full of movie titles they can pick from. Apparently, these come from a company that gives Taylor a good deal. The movies are all really obscure.
Luke goes to talk to Jess, and Jess makes it clear that he doesn’t care about school. So Luke goes to talk to Lorelai and brings her brownies. He asks to talk to Rory and asks if she’d be willing to tutor Jess.
She agrees.
Lorelai is not so sure about that.
Kirk shows up at the diner and pitches Lorelai on showing her the short film he’s been working on. She is PUMPED to watch it!
Rory goes to help Jess and asks Lorelai not to tell Dean if he calls. Lorelai is not thrilled with that, but Rory insists they’re just going to study.
Jess wants to do everything BUT study. He says, "Let’s go get ice cream, and then I’ll study."
So they take her car.
On the way back, they talk about their dreams for their lives. Jess wants to work when he needs money and just do his own thing. Rory wants to go to Harvard and then become a journalist.
Jess says, "We could go back to Luke’s... or we could turn right and drive around for a while."
She says, "Turn right."
Next thing you know, Rory calls Lorelai with bad news.
They got in an accident.
That’s right, folks. Jess crashed Rory’s car... THE CAR THAT DEAN BUILT HER!
So Rory is at the hospital because she fractured her wrist. Lorelai goes to pick her up, but she’s going to be there for another hour for X-rays.
So Lorelai goes to find Jess and yell at him, but she can’t find him. Instead, she ends up just yelling at Luke.
It turns into a screaming match. It’s a whole thing.
She’s crying and calls... Christopher.
Luke finds Jess sitting on the bridge and sits down next to him.
Lorelai comes home and sleeps in Rory’s room. When she wakes up, she finds Chris sitting next to her. He says he’s going to stay through tomorrow to make sure Rory is okay.
She asks if Sherry knows, and he just says, "Rory comes first."
So methinks she might not know.
The next day, they all go to the movie. We see Kirk’s short, and it’s perfect.
They overhear Patty and Babette talking. Apparently, Luke took Jess to a bus station and sent him home.

BRAN’S GILMORE GIRLS (SEASON 2 EPISODE 18) SYNOPSIS
It's Friday night dinner and Richard is late. He's been working hard on a car. Emily refuses to let them eat until Richard is at the table.
The next day, Lorelai is giving Luke a hard time about his new omelette special. Rory says that's Jess' handwriting. Lorelai is like how do you know his handwriting? She's like he's written stuff in my margins. Dean shows up and crashes their breakfast and Rory seems kind of annoyed.
Later at school, Brad is back. He's here to face his fears - Paris. Rory, Paris, and company are in a group together for this school project. They need a parental advisor with business experience. They all want to pick Lorelai.
Sookie gets her wedding invites and they're wrong. She's so not a Soozie!
Rory asks Lorelai if she's willing to be the group advisor! She's like well....how about your grandfather? I bet he'd love to be your advisor!
So she goes over to ask him and he is like I'm not sure if I'll be much help. He's like things are a bit hectic right now and it's short notice. But when Emily hears about this, she's like YOU MUST HELP! So obviously, he will help.
Michel's mom is in town. It's a lot.
Richard shows up to hear the students' pitches on their made up invention they want to create. Paris pitches her idea - tricked out first aid kits. Richard presses her on it but she doesn't back down and he loves it.
She gets home and has a billion Dean messages. Lorelai seems like something is bothering this boy. She's like I don't know what his deal is.
Richard has all the kids over to his house and he is absolutely eating this project up!
Dean comes over to wash Rory's car. Lorelai is like hey bud maybe tone it down a bit. You're not losing Rory but if you keep this up, you will.
Michel gets mad at Lorelai for telling his mom that he doesn't eat carbs!
It's time to find out the winner of the project and...Rory's team doesn't win. Richard can't believe it! So he goes to talk to Headmaster Charleston and gives him a piece of his mind and demands a recount. Headmaster Charleston is like ok I just recounted and you still lose. Your project was in the running. Richard is like it's not my project, it's theirs! Charleston is like well they're not the one causing a scene, you are and he storms out.
Unfortunately, it's also Friday night dinner. When they get there, it's clear that Emily has had herself a day. She says that Richard hasn't come out of his room since he got home. Lorelai tells Emily that maybe Richard should go to therapy. Emily isn't having it. WE DON'T GO TO THERAPY! Just then, Richard comes out of his study and he seems perfectly fine. He has news - he doesn't want to be retired.
They head back to Stars Hollow and Rory asks to be dropped off in town. She'll call Dean later.
But when Lorelai gets home, Dean is there and he says "she's in love with Jess, isn't she" and Lorelai doesn't know what to say.

BRAN’S GILMORE GIRLS (SEASON 2 EPISODE 17) SYNOPSIS
Lorelai is listening to a bunch of voicemails from her mom telling her a bunch of things about the DAR.
The next day, Emily is at the inn trying various soups to serve at the DAR meeting. Emily asks Sookie about her wedding planning, scaring her out of using a CD for music.
Luke calls Lorelai and asks for a couple rooms. His uncle Louie passed away and he's helping plan the funeral.
The next morning, Lorelai and Rory show up at the diner and it's PACKED! Cesar is gone and Luke is dealing with funeral stuff, so they jump in to help. Rory goes to force Jess to come down and help. Lorelai encourages Luke to go deal with the funeral stuff, she will work the diner today.
Taylor sees a farmers market has opened up in the town square and he is not happy! What about his market?! The guy running it insists that he is following all the rules.
Lorelai sees her mom at the inn and is confused. There was nothing on the books. She's like oh I'm here with Sookie, helping her plan her wedding.
Lorelai is busy this episode. She's back at the diner when Jackson comes by. He's sad that his nice simple wedding has been ruined, BY EMILY! He asks if Lorelai can help. They want to move the gazebo!
Taylor brings the farmers market issue to the town meeting. He asks to see the permit. He says this is wrong! This is for a cart, kiosk, cart-kiosk. You're not rolling in and out every night. This is the wrong permit! After the town meeting, Luke tries to get the reenactors to commit to the funeral but they all hated Louie - they're out.
Lorelai talks to Sookie about what Jackson said and tries to talk her out of Emily's version of her wedding. Sookie realizes she's gone a bit wedding crazy.
Lorelai goes to help Luke with the casket - Louie had a lot of things he wanted to be buried in. And Lorelai helps calm Luke down.
Emily finds out about this and isn't pleased and gives Lorelai a piece of her mind.
Lorelai shows up to be with Luke at the funeral. It's just the two of them. He asks her if he's like Louie. Lorelai says you are not your uncle. You care about your friends. You took in Jess. You're a good man. As Louie is being lowered, the reenactors show up. Lorelai put in a call.
They make it back to the diner and everyone in town is there for a wake. Lorelai didn't set this up. Neither did Rory. Who planned this?!
Farmers market guy tells Taylor he's done. He sold out. He's moving away.
Rory goes to talk to Jess. She says did you plan this? He says no, I just unlocked the door. Rory says you helped and that means you're officially a part of our town.
The town takes turns sharing Louie stories.
