Having encountered disaster by bringing Jess (Milo Ventimiglia) to her grandparents' home for the Friday Night Dinner, Rory (Alexis Bledel) subsequently decides to spend her next evening alone with Jess -- while Luke surreptitiously monitors their every move. Elsewhere, Lorelei (Lauren Graham) has trouble enjoying herself on a trip to New York with Alex (Billy Burke), Sookie, (Melissa McCarthy) and Jackson (Jackson Douglas). Miss Patty's (Liz Torres) one-woman show is pretty much of a drag until the combustible Kirk (Sean Gunn) livens things up. And Lane (Keiko Agena) struggles to keep her romance with Dave (Adam Brody) a secret, not only from her mother, but also from the other band members. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
