Jess and Kirk get their overpriced baskets right away, but everyone else has to wait until the auction is over. Rory's went for $80 and Lorelai's for $52,50. Sookie's only goes for $35, as Andrew won't bid $40 without the guarantee of pie. Luke and Lorelai have their picnic in the gazebo. Lane tries to use the cover of going on a date with her cousin Dave to arrange a secret date with Henry, but the payphone is broken so he called the Kim house, and it ends with them breaking up.

Rory and Jess eat on the bridge across the lake. Rory loses her bracelet and Jess finds it and keeps it. Jackson thinks Sookie should forget about moving in together, saying he'd rather they get married. Dean talks to Lorelai about Rory and Jess, leading to Lorelai talking to Rory about Jess, leading to an argument that lasts until next Friday.

Next Friday night dinner, Rory and Lorelai have it out in front of Emily. Emily agrees with Lorelai, taking a dig at Lorelai's youthful mistakes in the process, which makes Lorelai change her mind about Rory spending time with Jess.



* CallBack: Jess tells Rory about the time and place Luke pushed him in the lake. He asks if Rory wants to try that method of catharsis.



** Henry sarcastically asks if Lane wants him to slow down when she jumps in his car. She replies yes, of course.



* {{Foreshadowing}}: Lorelai claims she participated in the basket auction this year in hopes she could get the buyer to clean her gutters. Next time it comes up, this year's basket-buyer Luke will suggest she hire Jess to do it.
