Gilmore Girls Season Four, Episode Ten: The Nanny and The Professor
Rory and Paris participate in a Yale Daily News tradition: while the current newspaper staff works on getting the paper out, the potential staffers wait on them while wearing silly newspaper hats. Paris takes off after she gets a phone call and never comes back. She comes back to the dorm really late and makes a lot of noise to make sure she wakes up Rory. She tries to get Rory to ask her what she was doing, but Rory yells at her and says she doesn’t want to know. She’s been ignoring the thing going on with Asher and Paris because it grosses her out. She’s really uncomfortable when she finds out Asher is teaching one of her courses this semester.
Lorelai and Michel go to Sookie’s to talk about inn stuff, and Tobin is there. He’s Davie’s nanny. Michel, who hates Tobin and always feels jealous of him, offers to babysit one night. He calls Lorelai in a panic because Davie rolled under the bed and Michel can’t get him out. After Lorelai helps him, he says he hates Tobin. Lorelai tells him he doesn’t have to be jealous of Tobin.
Lorelai spends the night at Jason’s for the first time, and he asks her to sleep in the guest bedroom. He says it’s because he’s a really light sleeper and can’t sleep with someone else in the bed, but Lorelai thinks it’s an excuse to get her to leave. He manages to convince her when he shows her the coolest freaking bedroom I have ever seen. They talk the next morning and Lorelai says she doesn’t want to tell her parents about their relationship. Jason is reluctant and wants to tell them, but Lorelai is adamant.
Lorelai shows up for Friday night dinner and finds the historical society giving a walking tour of the house. During dinner, Emily talks about a function they went to the night before and she mentions Jason’s date. Lorelai is a little upset. Jason says he would rather have taken Lorelai and he wants to take her to future functions, but Lorelai says no way, she’d rather be jealous than tell her parents she’s dating him.
Paris: I smell like pipe tobacco.
Rory: Ah, jeez.
Other notes: Luke has hired Lane to work at the diner and he’s worried because she’s so good. He thinks she’ll get bored and want to quit.

Can I just say how weird it is that Paris is sleeping with Brian from Cabaret? Because it is. That’s all Michael York will ever be to me.
