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. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

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. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
