Rory tells Jess to hurry up and get in her car, and they drive away. She explains this is her husband's friend's truck. Paul takes Dean to work every day. Rory doesn't know why the truck would be there. Jess tells her that he will protect her. Rory tells him Paul could kill him.
Rory drops Jess off at home, and doesn't allow him to touch her. She drives to the hospital, and someone from her office tells her that Lisa died. Rory had no idea it was this serious.
Rory asks Dean where he was this afternoon, and he says Paul dropped him off at home early and went on a date.
Rory begins to get emotional, and starts to cry and says she can't believe Lisa is dead. She says she hasn't been a good friend, and Dean assures her that she has been.
Rory is going from bed to bed. From man to man. She is comfortable with Jess. She loves him. He makes her feel good about herself. It's like they complete each other. She lies in bed with Dean after having sex with him. After all, they are trying to get pregnant. She lays with her eyes wide open, completely unsure of what she is doing.
Their office mourns the death of Lisa. They play a song over the intercom system dedicated to her, and the person that she was, and the life that ended all too soon.
Jess told Rory he wanted to go over to the lake and spend all day skinny dipping and making love, and being one with nature. All Rory could think about was death. She thought about how good of a person Lisa was. This made her realize how selfish she, herself, was, and that she was an adulterer and a liar.
While they are sitting on a park bench it begins to rain. Jess holds Rory tight and she burrows her head into his chest. She asks Jess what they are doing. She says she hasn't thought this through. Jess wants to go around with Rory on her arm. He wants to tell people. He wants to run away with Rory and be together, and be free to love each other.
Rory heads home, and Dean and Paul are sitting on the couch. The rain postponed their construction project for the day.
Rory does all she can to avoid both of their eye contact.
Paul apologizes about her friend passing away.
He pointedly questions Rory about whether she was with Lisa when she passed. Rory says of course she was, after all, she was her friend.
What kind of person would she be if she weren't there for her friend in her time of need?
Rory sits in her cubicle doing work. Jess approaches her and confirms that he can get a ride home from Rory today because his ankle is hurting. Rory sadly had to deny his request, but suggests that maybe Julia in the next cubicle could give him a ride home. She is walking by and grunts in acknowledgement of her name. Jess looks at Rory, and tells her to never mind, and goes back to his office.
At lunch, Rory explains that she thinks they should take a break, a breather of sorts. She is getting scared. The Paul situation was close enough. Who knows what could happen next. She feels guilty about what she has been doing.
Jess doesn't understand. He asks her why they can't go to the motel. Or into an empty office. Rory tells him to be patient. Jess's face shows signs of bitterness, depression, and disappointment.
Rory figures this is just temporary. After all, they understand each other,
…when they are together, at least.
Rory approaches the man from her work and asks for information about the Bible Study. She learns that a couple that prays together, stays together.
Rory waves to Jess who is sitting on the curb when she is leaving for work. He sends her a pathetic wave, with no change in his melancholy expression.
She stops at the store on her way home. She hands Dean a bag. He takes the item out of it, examines it, and still asks what it is.
It's a Holy Bible. She tells him they are going to Bible Study.
Rory comes home from work the next day, and sees Dean and Paul sitting on the couch still dirty and sweaty from work. She tells Dean to go get ready for Bible Study, he needs to shower now because they're going to be late.
Paul thinks it's comical that Rory is trying to work on her spiritual life, because he saw her. He saw her. He tells her that he knows and that they have some things to talk about. He requests that she stop by his house tomorrow after work.
She says nothing. But she plans on attending.
They head over to Bible Study, and even though they forgot their Bibles, Rory decides they will forgive them, and that she wants to go in anyway. She's going to need a lot of forgiveness for everything she has been doing.
She spots the man from her office and he welcomes the couple to the study. Rory sees Jess's parents walking up to the study and she excuses herself, and pulls Dean over to their car and tells him to get in. She tells him she needs to go home. They forgot their Bibles, nobody is going to forgive them, and she's not in the mood anymore.
Dean thinks they look like devil worshippers but obliges anyway, he never wanted to come to Bible Study. He drives them home, and thinks she is acting crazy. He tells her he is never coming to Bible Study again.
