By Pamie | Season 2 | Episode 15 | Aired on 2002.02.26
Walking home, Rory asks Lorelai who offered to clean out the gutters. Lorelai makes up the following names: Sid, Lou, and Moose (if Doris will let him out of the house). Rory says she thought Lorelai was going to give Jess a chance. Lorelai says she's not very comfortable around him. Rory says that Lorelai doesn't really know him. Lorelai says that she might not know him, but that she's not too fond of his stand-in right now. Rory promises that Lorelai would like Jess if she got to know him. Rory adds that Lorelai didn't like Luke for the first two years, and called him "Duke" just to make him mad. She says that after they talked and time went by, Lorelai came to like him. "Well," Lorelai answers. Rory asks Lorelai to give Jess the same chance. Lorelai asks if she can call him "Tess" for a little while, and agrees to give him the job. She asks Rory why it's so important that Lorelai like him. Rory tells a bunch of lies, like that Jess is Luke's nephew and the diner is a place where they go. Lorelai asks whether this has to do with Rory being friends with him. Rory says that they are "friendly" but not really "friends," and that they're really more "friendish." As Rory and Lorelai continue discussing the various definitions of the word "friend," they walk pass Miss Patty's Powerwalking class, already in progress. Miss Patty watches a row of Powerwalkers from the comfort of her golf cart, ordering her driver to "match [her]."
