Lorelai goes to the diner for the first time since she and Luke broke up. Patty and Babette say they’re happy to see her back, and Kirk tells her she can’t have her stool back. Luke and Lorelai have an awkward conversation about the weather and Lorelai takes her coffee to go.

Lorelai’s Jeep breaks down and Gypsy says it’s unfixable. Lorelai calls Luke and asks him to help her pick out a new car. It’s still incredibly awkward because they’re trying so hard to be polite to each other. Lorelai doesn’t like any of the cars Luke suggests and Luke starts getting annoyed. Luke finds a Jeep that’s exactly like her old one and when she still doesn’t like it, they start arguing. After that, things start to flow better. Luke comes over later and says he found a 1999 Jeep Wrangler and test drove it, so if she wants to keep her old car, she should buy this one and have Gypsy switch the engines.

Sookie’s kids have chicken pox, but Jackson has never had them so Lorelai offers to let him stay at her house until the kids are better. Sookie is worried that Jackson is going to annoy Lorelai, and she’s surprised when Lorelai says she and Jackson had fun and he didn’t bother her at all. Then Jackson calls Sookie and says he broke Lorelai’s dollhouse. Sookie is really mean to him, and Jackson says he wishes she could forgive him for lying to her about his vasectomy and then getting her pregnant. Sookie says she doesn’t want to be mad and she’ll try to move on. When Lorelai gets home from car shopping, Sookie and Jackson are sitting on her porch. They tell her about the dollhouse.

Paris has gotten responses from medical schools. She’s gotten into Yale Law and Harvard Medical, and she doesn’t know how to choose. She’s also gotten into UPenn, Columbia and Stanford and she’s freaking out about the decision. Paris breaks up with Doyle because she doesn’t want to base her decision on a guy. Paris and Rory go out with Lucy and Olivia, and Paris gets drunk and starts talking about how much she misses Doyle. Doyle comes back to the apartment later and says he’s not moving out and he’s not breaking up. He says he’ll go wherever she goes.

Rory finally gets a letter from the New York Times. She didn’t get the fellowship.
