A-Tisket, A-Tasket is the 13th episode of Season 2 on WB drama Gilmore Girls.
Synopsis
The annual Stars Hollow Picnic Basket Auction runs into romantic complications when Jess (Milo Ventimiglia) outbids Dean (Jared Padalecki) to win a picnic lunch date with Rory (Alexis Bledel), leading to a fight between Rory and Dean and an even bigger fight between Rory and Lorelai (Lauren Graham) over whether Rory should be hanging out with Jess.
Plot
The annual Stars Hollow charity picnic basket lunch auction sparks controversies among couples throughout town. Jess outbids Dean for Rory's basket, causing Dean and Rory to quarrel when Rory abides by tradition and shares the lunch with Jess. Jackson refuses to bid on Sookie's basket after she leads him to believe that she doesn't want to move in together. Luke comes to Lorelai's rescue, bids on her basket, and feeds them both at the diner after Miss Patty sets Lorelai up with a trio of unsuitable bidders
Henry tires of the end runs around Mrs. Kim, and calls it quits with Lane. Rory and Jess hit it off at lunch and Jess leaves with a secret souvenir -- the bracelet that Dean gave Rory, which he picks it up and holds on to after Rory drops it. Sookie and Jackson work things out so well that he proposes and she accepts. Lorelai and Rory quarrel when Rory finds out that her mother lent a sympathetic ear to Dean's concerns about Jess. After Emily agrees with her daughter's distrust of Jess, Lorelai realizes that they're both wrong, and apologizes to her daughter.
