Gilmore Girls Season Three, Episode Twenty-One: Here Comes the Son
This is the Jess in California episode, which I’m really not a fan of so I’m going to be a terrible blogger and skip the California stuff. Basically, he finds Jimmy, meets Jimmy’s really annoying girlfriend and her kid, and then gets Jimmy to let him stick around for while.
Back in Stars Hollow:
Luke comes over one morning to tell Lorelai that Jess has left town. Rory has been stressing really bad over graduation stuff, so Lorelai decides not to tell her right away.
Lorelai finds out Rory didn’t qualify for financial aid for Yale. She’s kind of freaking out.
Miss Celine, the Gilmores’ fashion consultant, helps Emily and Richard pick out their outfits for graduation. They make Rory come over after school to help them. Lorelai goes to pick her up later, and Emily pretends dinner isn’t ready yet because she doesn’t want to invite Lorelai to stay. Then she says they have plans and Lorelai makes a big deal about the whole thing and asks if Rory would be allowed to stay for dinner if she wanted to. Emily says yes, but they’re going out. Then Richard comes down and says of course they don’t have any plans and he’s delighted that Rory’s staying. Rory, who has too much shit to do before she graduates, apologizes and says she has to go. Then she tells Emily her fight with Lorelai is stupid.
On the way home, the girls get stopped at the stoplight in front of the diner. Luke is sweeping the sidewalk, but when he sees Rory, he drops his broom and runs inside. Lorelai finally tells Rory that Jess is gone.
When they get home, Lorelai looks through Rory’s yearbook and sees that a lot of the kids who signed it are congratulating her for being named valedictorian. Instead of being weirded out and hurt by the fact that Rory didn’t think this was important news that she should share, Lorelai smiles and tells Rory she can freak out about graduation as much as she wants.

Jimmy’s really annoying girlfriend (who totally came back as April Nardini later!) was engaged to Johnny Depp at some point. As in, Johnny Depp Johnny Depp. In the height of his hotness. I can’t watch this episode without quietly hating her for that.

What? She’s not awesome enough to get Johnny Depp. What the hell?
I think you mean Anna Nardini, April’s mom.

I never watch the Jess part either. It seemed to me as if they were trying to make a spin off.

They were, actually! It was supposed to start that fall, I think. I’m glad it never happened.

Oh, a Jess spin-off would have been disasterous. I’m so glad it didn’t go any further. I agree that it’s very odd that Rory didn’t tell her mom about being valedictorian.I mean, didn’t they share everything?
