Lorelai and Luke struggle to choose a paint color for their walls. Luke becomes a sponsor for the baddest, newsiest, bad news bears girls' soccer team that ever tore down the field. Rory is starting to feel the strain of being under Emily's constant, burning gaze, and fakes her out by lying about her nightly wherabouts. Unfortunately, she's been hanging out with Logan and his dumb, drunk friends, being their designated driver. Jess materializes out of the past, all cleaned up and with his newly-published book under his arm. Rory is glad to see him, but is not so glad to see Logan act like a jerk and dog him out. Speaking of dogs, Paul Anka gets sick, and Lorelai transfers all her shame about Rory's failures onto him. Meanwhile, all those failures are coming home to roost. Jess finally, FINALLY pulls the wool off Rory's eyes about her lame behavior, and they have a showdown that seems to wake her up to her own dumb-assity. She gets tough with herself, with Logan, and with her grandmother. Maybe our little girl is actually growing up.
