Thanksgiving morning. Lorelai and Rory walk toward the market, discussing the things they need to buy. They need flowers for everyone they're visiting, and cranberry sauce for the Kims. Rory says they might need Tums as well. "You mean, Amateur Pills?" Lorelai asks. Rory says she'll get the flowers, if Lorelai goes inside the market, where Dean is. Jess walks right up (I guess Lorelai didn't see him?) and grabs Rory. They start kissing, right there. This does not make Rory happy, since she's probably right in Dean's sightline, so she breaks away with a couple upset "Stop!"s and pulls Jess over to a corner for more kissing. He doesn't like being shunned, nor being Rory's "secret friend," and wants to know when they might be able to show their affection in public. He says she wasn't that way with Dean. But she was, really. She never mugged in public. Quick kisses, yes, but no real pelvis-touching action. Rory says she doesn't want to flaunt their relationship, but Jess says he does. She begs him and promises that they can eventually kiss around people. Jess suggests that they wear Three Stooges masks so nobody knows who they are -- Jess is Mo and Rory's Curly. Rory promises that this will get better with time. She asks them to play it cool. "Hey, I'm Frank at the Sands," Jess says. "That's cool," Rory says, kissing him near his mouth as she walks away. Jess leaves in the other direction. Where's he going? Where? Why? Doesn't matter. Guess his mom doesn't want him around for the holidays. ["Would you?" -- Wing Chun]
