Episode 36 of "Gilmore girls"
s02e15 Lost And Found

Rory embarks upon a campaign to improve Lorelai's relationship with Jess, and convinces her to let him clean out their gutters so he can make some extra money. Luke can't stand how cramped his living quarters have become now that his sister has sent all of Jess's things to Stars Hollow, so he goes apartment hunting, first with Jess and then with Lorelai, who finally finds him a great place to live. When he finds out later that Taylor will be his new landlord, he explodes, tells Taylor to throw out his application, impulsively buys the building which houses his diner and the flower shop next door, and begins to take down the adjoining wall to expand his living space. When Dean notices that Rory isn't wearing the bracelet he made for her, she covers her shock at its loss and lies that she removed it because of a rash on her arm. She searches for it frantically all over Stars Hollow, not realizing that Jess picked it up after she dropped it on the bridge two weeks earlier when they shared the basket lunch for which he outbid Dean. Jess hides the bracelet under Rory's bed when he sees how upset she is. Lorelai catches him leaving her room, and he makes an excuse about looking at Rory's books to see if she already had one he wanted to buy for her. Lorelai doesn't believe him for a minute, but decides to let it pass. Rory returns home thoroughly discouraged, and Jess urges her to keep looking for it. When Rory finds the bracelet in her room and happily runs off to tell Lane, Lorelai accuses Jess of stealing the bracelet, calling it Rory's most treasured possession. Jess counters that statement with the revelation that Rory didn't realize it was missing for two weeks, as he angrily denies its theft, leaving Lorelai bewildered. When she asks Luke later if he thinks that Jess is interested in Rory, Luke expresses his hope that he is, because Rory would be such a good influence on him. Lorelai agrees, but privately seems dismayed at the prospect.
