During a tutorial, Jess persuades Rory to take a drive and crashes her car, landing her in the hospital, and Lorelai rages at Luke for putting her daughter's life in danger.
April 30, 2002 | The WB
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.
