Here Comes the Son is the penultimate episode of Season 3 on WB drama Gilmore Girls.
Synopsis
Sand in the gears, Jess heads for Venice Beach to crash at his father's place. But Jimmy doesn't make him welcome and neither does Jimmy's girlfriend. Rory stresses out as graduation nears.
Plot
After the blow-up with Luke, Jess leaves Stars Hollow for Venice, California, to stay with Jimmy, the father he knows almost nothing about. Jimmy admits he isn't capable of being a father, but promises to ask his live-in girlfriend Sasha to let Jess stay. Back in Stars Hollow, at the same time Lorelai is wondering how to tell Rory that Jess is gone, she learns that the money Richard gave her will make Rory ineligible for financial aid at Yale. Feeling stressed out about everything, Rory unexpectedly confronts Emily over her treatment of Lorelai.
