"Hello?"

"Lorelai, Detective Cook just called me." Luke replied quickly. "They've decided to question Dean."

"They did?" Lorelai smiled. "That's great. That means they took us seriously. We can work towards proving Jess is innocent."

"I know." Luke sighed with relief. "It's refreshing to see the police heading in the right direction for once." A pause. "Have you told Rory, yet?"

"Yeah..." Lorelai's disposition converted. "She's not taking it too well."

Luke nodded his head. "I figured that."

"She doesn't want to believe it. Of course I can't say that I blame her."

"You have to make her realize that it's the truth."

"I'm trying." Lorelai replied softly.

"Maybe if I talked to her." Luke offered.

"No..." Lorelai answered quickly. "That'll only make her feel like she's being ganged up on."

"Oh... well, okay. If you need me for anything... call."

"I will. Bye, Luke."

Rory walked in and slouched down on the couch. She grabbed a pillow and cuddled up to it. This was Lorelai's cue.

"Hey, stranger." Lorelai greeted as she came over and sat down beside Rory. "Haven't talked with you in a while."

"We talked an hour ago." Rory's voice was muffled by the pillow.

"Aw, that wasn't really talking." Lorelai replied. "Did your walk help?"

"No." Rory answered gravely.

"Oh... Hm, maybe if you talked about it, you'd feel better."

Rory straightened her body and came face to face with her mother. "I saw Dean."

My, my, what an attention grabber. Lorelai became immediately intrigued. "What happened?"

"Nothing. He wanted me to come over to his house and watch a movie tonight. I told him no."

Lorelai was impressed. Perhaps she had gotten through to her daughter after all. "I'm glad you did." Lorelai smiled.

(Police Department)

"You have a visitor." Cook said to Jess as she walked up to his cell.

"Who?" Jess asked in a unconcerned manner.

"A young girl. Goes by Rory Gilmore."

Suddenly Jess's eyes lit up and he jumped to her feet.

Cook smiled. "You have 10 minutes."

Rory walked up to the cell. "Hey." She greeted with a fake, yet sincere smile.

"Hey." Jess returned.

"How are you?"

"Fine. You?"

"Fine."

"Good."

"Yeah."

"Rory... I didn't kill Taylor." Jess looked deeply into her eyes. "Someone has set up me up."

"I know." Rory admitted. "My mom and Luke are working really hard to get you out of here... for good."

"It won't do any good. My trial is Thursday. It'll be up the jury then." Jess sighed. "They found a lot of planted evidence in my side of the apartment."

"Jess, who do you think set you up? Rory asked directly.

Jess paused for a moment. "I think it was Dean." He finally announced. "And I know he's your all American sweetheart, but it's the only logical reasoning behind any of this."

"I'm sorry this is happening to you." Rory replied. She turned to leave.

"Hey, where are you going?" Jess called.

"I'll see you at the trial." Rory said as she continued to walk away.

(Luke's Diner)

As Luke was closing down the diner, and straightening up the chairs he noticed napkin laying on one of the tables. Ordinarily, he wouldn't be concerned over a napkin, but this one has writing on it. He picked it up and read it. Stop playing detective before someone gets hurt.

This was it, this would prove Jess was innocent. Luke locked up the dinner swiftly and headed to the police station. They wanted their cold hard proof and now they were going to get it.
