Rory scurries over to Jess and tries to wake him. "Mom, get the car! We need to get him to a hospital!" Rory orders. "Fine." Lorelai takes Dean aside and says, "Go and don't call. I thought you were a nice kid. Get out of my sight!" She calms herself down, realizing that there was a situation at hand. "You take his feet and I'll take his arms," decides Rory. "Ok, " Lorelai agrees.

They rush over to the hospital. The second they get there, Lorelai gives Luke a call. "Jess is at the hospital, " Lorelai said with great difficulty. Luke stuttered, "Wha-wha- what happened?" Lorelai, "Well, Jess said he thinks he loves Rory and then Dean punched him That's about the jest of it." "Oh, I'll be over there in a second, " Luke says. Lorelai is standing there with the phone in hand. Luke had hung up about a minute ago, but she was so still trying to register all that had just happened. She finally shakes it off. She heads over to the waiting room only to see her daughter crying.

"Why did he have to do this tonight? I was just about to tell Dean everything and break up. I finally get up the courage to tell Dean how I feel and what's going on. That I like Jess a lot, I haven't been completely honest with him, and I think that it's best we broke up. Then, Jess decides to be honest with me. If only he could have waited. I mean, why now?" Rory confesses in between her sobs. She looks up to see Dean standing there in the hallway. Dean says, "So that's what you were going to tell me. I figured as much. Well, I guess it's been fun. I'm going to leave seeing as I have no reason to be here." Dean leaves hoping that Rory will come and get him, but she doesn't.

Rory turns to Lorelai and asks, "If this is what I wanted, why do I feel so miserable about it?" Lorelai rubs Rory's back as she explains, "It's because you didn't want it to happen this way. You wanted to sit down and tell Dean, not for him to stumble upon you saying it. You wanted to talk to Jess, you didn't want to find out he loves you by a blurt out." "Well, yeah, "Rory admits.
