Set in a storybook Connecticut town populated by an eclectic mix of dreamers, artists and everyday folk, this multigenerational drama about family and friendship centers around Lorelai Gilmore and her daughter, Rory. Lorelai owns the town's bed-and-breakfast, the Dragonfly Inn, with best friend/chef Sookie, and contends with weekly dinners with eccentric, well-off parents Richard and Emily Gilmore (who always have something to say about their daughter's life). After high school, Rory attends Yale University but frequently returns to Stars Hollow to visit her mom.

Lorelai and Luke reach a new understanding; Stars Hollow throws Rory a huge graduation party.

Rory's efforts at socializing land her in the popular clique; Lorelai finds herself matching Emily in a fund-raising fashion show.

When she learns that the Independence Inn may be sold, Lorelai frets that her dream of opening an inn with Sookie may be doomed.

Jealous Dean monitors the rehearsals when Rory and Tristan are cast as Romeo and Juliet in the school play.
