Luke is wary when his flighty sister Liz (recurring guest star KATHLEEN WILHOITE - "ER") arrives for an unexpected visit. Lorelai promises Jason that she will tell her parents about their relationship, but she reconsiders after Emily comments about how laughable it would be if Lorelai and Jason began dating. Meanwhile, when Paris confesses to Rory that her affair with the professor is becoming serious, Rory reminds Paris how badly she is treating her boyfriend, Jamie (BRANDON BARASH)--so Paris breaks up with Jamie. Finally, Luke discovers that Jess' (recurring guest star MILO VENTIMIGLIA) car is missing and reports it stolen, but he later discovers that Jess has come back to town to pick up the car. Rory sees Jess sleeping in his car but walks away without speaking to him.

Stranded in Stars Hollow while his car is being repaired, Jess (recurring guest star MILO VENTIMIGLIA) keeps crossing paths with Rory--but he walks away from her every time. Luke tries to talk to Jess about Liz (recurring guest star KATHLEEN WILHOITE), Luke's sister and Jess' mother, who is dating someone new. However, Jess angrily tells Luke to stop interfering in other people's lives. Lorelai does a favor for Emily by attending a charity dinner and is pleasantly surprised when her secret boyfriend, Jason, arrives--and the unsuspecting Emily asks them to "pretend" they are a couple. Meanwhile, when Rory and Jess encounter each other for a third time, Rory tries to be the one who walks away, but Jess stops her and makes a shocking confession.

Temporarily unable to see after minor eye surgery, Emily enlists Lorelai's help as her driver and companion, finally revealing a surprise that catches Lorelai completely off guard. Meanwhile, Rory takes charge of Logan's recovery when he is released from the hospital. And Luke helps his sister Liz (recurring guest star KATHLEEN WILHOITE) and her husband, T.J. (recurring guest star MICHAEL DeLUISE), deal with Liz's pregnancy.
