Jess and Rory or Dean and Rory? Personally I think I'd choose her to be with Jess. As I said I think he is just a bit more interesting. Dean had a lot of disappointments here, from when Rory turned him down to when he found Jess at her house. His face really was like some lost puppy. Especially when Rory tried to ask him to stay, he just looked sad.
Paris and Rory's friendship grows here, I was so glad when Paris jumped in to save Rory from another argument with Dean. It was good to see her getting so involved with the book talk with Jess, very sociable. I hope she and Rory remain friends, after all Rory did let her stay over.
Then there is Jess, this episode proves that he really likes Rory, just because of the care package. Luke didn't ask him to take it, Jess thought of the idea himself. Again it was good to actually see him interact with someone other than Rory. Very funny when Rory asked him to leave, what he did was great.
Plus at the end, when Rory told him he was squirming, good scene. The end was brilliant actually, Lorelai and Dean staring at Jess and Rory, who are basically flirting. Dean asked if Lorelai would lie, Lorelai replies no .... interesting.
The spa day was very entertaining. It was enjoyable to see Emily really get on Lorelai's nerves. Funny how Emily made sure they spent the day together. It was great when they snuck out to get dinner, Emily really let herself go. It was good to see them bond. But them Emily panics after dancing with another man, this of course causes an argument.
Emily blames Lorelai for letting herself go. They make up (In there own way) and Lorelai persuades Emily to steal a robe she loves. All in all it was a brilliant episode, we haven't seen Sookie or Lane for a while though.moreless

Her plans are foiled -- first by Paris, then by Jess, and finally by Dean. In the process, she discovers that she has a surprising savior, a secret suitor, and a skeptical sweetheart.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA- When Paris calls her Nanny to ask if she can eat dinner at Rory's house, she is speaking Spanish. However, in the season 5 episode 19, "But I'm a Gilmore!", Paris states that Nanny only speaks Portuguese. Edit
- Paris says " Voy a comer la cena de casa de Rory" which translates into "I'm going to eat the dinner from the house of Rory." The proper Spanish would have been " Voy a cenar en la casa de Rory" which means I'm going to have dinner at Rory's house . Edit
- When Jess comes to drop off the Luke's care package, Rory says she already ordered Indian food. Rory ordered the Indian food when Paris showed up an hour earlier, why does it take an hour to make the food and deliver it? Also, later in the episode, the food is never shown, does that mean it was never delivered? Explanation: In the deleted scene on the DVD Rory offers Paris samosas, which are in fact Indian food. So, it was delivered. Edit

Quotes
ADD QUOTES- Lorelai: Mom, you signed us up for a couple's massage. Emily: So? Lorelai: A couple's massage is for a couple – not a couple of people. Emily: It's more efficient this way. We'll both be finished at the same time. Lorelai: Mom, do you know what most people who get these massages do about five minutes after it's over? They have sex, together, probably while wearing their robes. Edit
- Rory: I just wanted to thank you. Luke: For what? Rory: The care package. It was really sweet. Luke: What care package? Jess: Uh, Luke, they're hitting the water line again. Luke: What? Tom, you are dead. You hear me? Dead! (Goes off) Jess: Wanna pay? Rory: Funny, I don't think Luke knew anything about the food last night. Jess: That'll be $12.50. Rory: Which means you lied about why you came over. Jess: I'm out of quarters, I'll have to give you nickels. Rory: You wanted to come over! Jess: I gotta get back to work. Rory: You're squirming. I've never seen you squirm. It's entertaining. Jess: Yeah? Edit
- (Rory is trying to get Jess to leave) Jess: Are you sure we couldn't sit down, have a little heart-to-heart? He'd tell me his issues, I'd tell him mine, we'd hug. Rory: (opens door) Go. Jess: (going outside) Okay, well give him my best...(sees Dean at bottom of steps) Actually, I think I might do that myself. Rory: He just dropped by to give me some food. Jess: From Luke's. Rory: He wanted to make sure I ate. Jess: Luke did. Rory: Yeah, Luke did. Jess: Personally, I could care less if she eats. Jess:(sees what Dean's holding) And what's that? Aw, a little ice cream package just big enough for two. How sweet. (Dean glowers at Jess) Oh, now you're doing that towering-over-me thing. Huh. You've really got that down. It helps that you're like twelve feet tall, but add that Frankenstein scowl it's just. Rory: Jess. Jess: Okay, I'm leaving. (starts to walk away, turns around and says to Dean) I really was just dropping off some food, so don't get all West Side Story on me, alright? Edit

- Lorelai: Careful, Mom. That's how they get you in the Moonies. The Unification Church, known as "the Moonies" after its leader Sun Myung Moon, is a controversial religious cult. Edit
