Gypsy's. Jess, proving his smarts to us immediately, leans against a gas pump and prepares to light a cigarette. And also, why is he starting smoking now? Do we really need to watch more fake smoking? But see, Jess is in love now, so he's already decided he doesn't need cigarettes anymore, that one television cliché they won't get rid of ever. Love cures smoking. Always. A really bad song is playing in the background as Rory walks up and asks what he's going to do with that cigarette. "Depends," he says. She asks where's the part for his car. Jess pretends he can't believe Gypsy didn't leave the part for him like she said she would. More small talk. Rory asks what smoking the cigarette depends on. "What's going to happen," Jess says. "When?" Rory asks. "Now," Jess says. He pulls her in and they kiss. Rory kisses Jess much more open-mouthedly than she ever kissed CuteDean. They stop kissing and Rory says she's really glad Jess decided not to smoke the cigarette. They kiss again and Jess slowly, slowly, deliberately, carefully puts the cigarette in his pocket to smoke later. Maybe it's not love, after all. Jess says, "Well, if nothing else happens between us, at least we know that part works." He's...kind of looking at his crotch as he says that. You make the call. Rory pulls away and says she has to go. Ah, there's the Rory we know. Jess asks if he did something. Rory says this was wonderful and she looks forward to many similar occurrences in the future but she has to go right now. "Understand?" she asks. "Not at all." Rory says it's more fun this way. He kisses her goodbye and tells her to beat it. She leaves, so he can.
