Jess also starts to leave. Luke asks where he's going, and Jess says he's going to school. Man, these people get up early. I don't know what time Jess's school starts, but my high school started at like 7:45 AM. And Jess is already up and worked a shift at the diner. Anyway, Luke walks outside and watches Jess walk across the street to the school and then, just before entering, ducks aside and runs over to his car and takes off. I just want to say a word about the whole Jess-skipping-school thing. My mom was the attendance officer at my school, so I know about the procedures and such, and I also grew up in a small town like Stars Hollow. There is no way that Jess would get away with missing this much school. First, the school would notify Luke. Second, people would see Jess driving to work. They'd see his car in the Wal-Mart parking lot. They'd report it back to Luke over breakfast in the diner. It is impossible to get away with anything in small towns, because everyone not only knows where you are supposed to be, but they know whom you are dating and what car you drive. I'm just saying.
Madeleine got into Mills College, which Louise calls "the one where all those girls with bad hair cried because they were going to let boys in." It's the only school that accepted Madeleine, because it was her "fallback" school, and Louise says Madeleine is going to "fall back into some mama's loving arms." See, because women's schools are full of lesbians. Like prison. Louise has decided to go to Tulane. Paris comes back to school. Paris got her nose pierced when Rory told her to have fun. Paris was allergic. Paris has a big bandage on her nose. Ha! Ha?
Rory's apology is interrupted when her cell phone rings. It's Jon Polito, maker of the giant pizza. He's concerned about the size of the pizza and wants to discuss putting in a second crust, "like a retaining wall," to hold all of the toppings. Rory asks if they could just make the crust thicker. Jon Polito says that might work and promises to get back to her. Rory hangs up in time to hear Paris yelling at some guy who offered her ten dollars to look at her nose. She wants twenty dollars, and tells Rory she's "just making lemonade here." So where is Paris going to go to college? Enough with the funny nose bit.
