Disclaimer: I own nothing pertaining to Gilmore Girls.

This is the fifth season of Gilmore Girls according to me. In episode two: Jason is determined to win Lorelai back and he'll do anything. Jess has an interesting proposition for Rory, and Dean gets the hint that what happened with him and Rory will never happen again.

Episode Two – It's Déjà vu all over again.

--

Open in Gilmore Home, an alarm clock rings but both Lorelai and Rory fail in turning it off. Lorelai gets up and turns it off. She puts on her pink fuzzy slippers and goes down the stairs to wake up Rory who is sound asleep.

Lorelai: (poking Rory) Wake up.

Rory: (sleepily) Five more minutes.

Lorelai: Okay then scoot over.

Rory scoots over while Lorelai goes and sleeps next to her

Rory: What was the point of you waking up when you're still tired?

Lorelai doesn't respond.

Fade in to Lorelai and Rory in Luke's Diner

Rory: You never told me about the date last night. (takes a bite of her pancake)

Lorelai: It went well. (glances over to the counter) He took me to this coffeehouse that serves great coffee and we watched Breakfast At Tiffany's.

Rory: (shocked) Luke watched that with you?

Lorelai: (nodding her head) He said that he liked it too.

Rory: Wow. (laughs)

Lorelai: So what did you do?

Rory: I went … out.

Lorelai: (suspiciously) With who?

Rory: (muttering) Jess. (coughing)

Lorelai: (puts her hand to her ear) What?

Rory: Jess.

Lorelai: Mariano?

Rory: Yeah. He came to the house last night and he asked me to go have dinner with him and I said yes.

Lorelai: Why?

Rory: I don't know. I mean I didn't think about it, I just said yes.

Lorelai: After saying 'no' to him before at Yale?

Rory: (nods her head) I don't know. It's all just rushed.

Jess appears at the diner and looks at Rory. He smiles at her and then makes his way to the counter where Luke is.

Jess: Hi.

Luke turns around and is surprised to see Jess.

Luke: What are you doing here?

Jess: Well nice to see you too Luke.

Luke: Sorry. I'm just surprised to see you here, in Stars Hollow. Did she (motioning to Rory) see you yet?

Jess: (nods her head) Yeah. Yesterday. We went out.

Luke: On a date …

Jess: (sarcastically) No…

Luke: Quit the crap Jess and tell me why you're here.

Jess: I don't know. My old place was crappy, my job – which I quit – was crappy. My life was just …

Luke: (finishing for him) crappy?

Jess: Yes.

Luke: You can stay here.

Jess: I know.

Luke: How long do you plan on staying, I mean you can stay as long as you want but …

Jess: (cutting him off) … until my life is on track.

Luke: That might take a while, but for now work at the diner, get a part-time job around the town and stay out of trouble.

Jess: It's going to feel like high school again isn't it?

Luke: If that's the case (sarcastically) I can hardly wait.

Lorelai and Rory watch Luke and Jess's conversation from their table

Lorelai: Wow. So Jess is back.

Rory: Yeah.

Kirk then enters the diner, with the same newspaper crew. This time a camera is with them

Kirk: (to the camera) This is where it all began. I eat here everyday, being served by my hero, Luke Danes.

The crew follows Kirk to the counter where Luke and Jess are.

Kirk: And this (points to Luke) is the face of a true hero. Sure he might dress like a lumberjack but he is a real hero underneath.

Jess: Hero?

Luke: Long and complicated story…

Kirk: That you will soon read in tomorrow's paper.

Luke: What?

Jess laughs

Kirk: Taylor thinks that the story on your heroism will be great for the front page.

Luke: I don't want to be on the front page.

Kirk: Too late.

From the table Lorelai and Rory laugh

Lorelai: I can't wait to see the paper tomorrow. (smiles)

Rory laughs with her, she sees Dean across the street, her smile fades.

Rory: I'll be back. (she gets up and exits the diner)

Rory: (to Dean) Hey.

Dean: (viscously) Shouldn't you be with Jess?

Rory: What?

Dean: I saw him at your house Rory! (walks off)

(Rory follows)

Rory: Why are you mad? It's not like we're together!

Dean: Then how do you explain what happened before?

Rory: A mistake!

Dean: I got divorced!

Rory: Not when it happened!

Dean: So? We're meant to be together!

Rory: That was a mistake Dean! I was confused and I know that you didn't want that to happen!

Dean: How would you know?!

Rory: You were with Lindsay and I know that you would not be cheating on her!

Dean: But why be with Jess?

Rory: Why not?

Dean: You blew him off at Yale, and then you come to me.

Rory: This isn't high school anymore. We're not together and we never will be. You broke up with me, remember that?

Dean: I just wanted some time off.

Rory: Well too late. I can't be with you anymore, you messed it up, not me.

(She walks off leaving Dean in the street. She then goes back into the diner)

Rory: Did you see it?

Lorelai: You sure yelled a lot.

Rory: Did you hear anything?

Lorelai: I heard a 'you messed it up, not me' and then you walked here. What happened?

Rory: It was just like how Dean was when I was going out with Jess, he was being so arrogant about it.

Lorelai: So no more Dean?

Rory: (repeating) No more Dean.

Fade into Lorelai at the Dragonfly

Lorelai: (On the phone) Yes, we have reservations for the 20th. (Jason enters the scene. Lorelai sees him but continues on to talk on the phone) Yes, good. See you then. (hangs up the phone) (to Jason) What are you doing here?

Jason: I need to talk to you.

Lorelai: About what?

Jason: We're in a tough …

Lorelai: (cutting him off) 'We're'?

Jason: Yes. Us. We.

Lorelai: We're over. There is no 'we' anymore. I have a boyfriend already and it's not you.

Jason: We can work it out …

Lorelai: What the hell do we have to work out? Nothing! Just leave please.

Jason: Not until I get to explain myself.

Lorelai: Explain what? You sued my father! I can't date a guy that goes against my family.

Jason: I had no choice!

Lorelai: Yes you did, it was so sue him or not to sue him. I mean I liked our past relationship, but now since you did that, we can't have one anymore.

Jason: I liked it too.

Lorelai: Then you shouldn't have screwed it up. I'm sorry Jason.

(They look at each other, before Jason exits)

Jason: So am I.

Fade into Luke's apartment

Lorelai: Jason stopped by at the Dragonfly.

Luke: (sits down next to her) Really? What'd he want?

Lorelai: To talk things out. (puts her head on his shoulder)

Luke: What'd you say?

Lorelai: That I have a boyfriend already. (smiles at him) And he shouldn't have screwed it up between us.

Luke: Hopefully he won't be coming back.

Lorelai: I think I scared him off. (laughs)

Luke: He's an idiot to have screwed it up with someone like you.

Lorelai: If he didn't screw it up then I wouldn't be with you. (kisses him)

(While kissing they make their way to the bed)

Lorelai: Are you sure about this?

Luke nods his head. They kiss. Fade out.
