Who can finally get Rory thinking she made a big mistake dropping out of Yale? If you guess Jess, you're right. Her old flame returns with exciting news about his life … and some blunt advice about hers.
Plot
JESS RETURNS WITH A SURPRISE FOR RORY – Rory (Alexis Bledel) is pleasantly surprised when her old flame Jess (guest star Milo Ventimiglia) appears at her grandparents' house and reveals an amazing development in his life. Rory agrees to go to dinner with Jess, and when Logan (Matt Czuchry) unexpectedly joins them, an ugly confrontation develops, leaving both Rory and Logan to face the choices they have made.
Emily (Kelly Bishop) is concerned about Rory's sudden evasiveness and tries to exert some parental discipline. Meanwhile, Luke (Scott Patterson) agrees to sponsor a local girls' soccer team and Lorelai (Lauren Graham) channels all her concerns about Rory into caring for her dog, Paul Anka.
