Episode 306
Jess has a new car, new for him anyway. It’s a piece of junk, but it’ll get him around. Luke suspects he may have gotten it through nefarious means and investigates, even invading Jess’s privacy in order to discover where he got the money to buy it. But there turns out to be a rational, reasonable answer, which Luke never expected. And Luke’s reaction is probably why Jess didn’t just tell him the answer in the first place.
Sherry has a baby shower, and invites Rory. When Lorelai drives Rory to Boston for the shower, Sherry ropes her into attending, too. During the party, Sherry does just about everything she can, unintentionally, to remind Lorelai of how much it hurt her to learn that Chris was having a baby with Sherry. Lorelai almost melts down at the shower, and by the end, she’s ready to do real damage. Now, Lorelai is incensed that Jess has a car, after having totaled Rory’s car. So Rory suggests that they take the deviled eggs that Sherry forced on them as they walked out the door, and deviled-egg Jess’s car, in a classic Gilmore Girls moment.
Meanwhile, the Town Loner wants to stage a peaceful protest. Taylor (being Taylor) denies him permission to protest in the town square. So Reverend Skinner and Rabbi Barans strike back by allowing the protest to go on at the church. In a hilarious scene, the Town Loner completely flubs the protest, and we never find out even what he was protesting about.
