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 tries to break up with Rory's teacher, Max, on parent-teacher night, which leads to more problems for her daughter at school.
After Lorelai encourages Sookie to ask out Jackson, she finds herself on a double date with Jackson's weird cousin; Rory goes on a double date as well.
A surprise phone call from Christopher brings up issues of trust between Lorelai and Luke; Lorelai and Rory make their first move toward reconciliation.
After a long absence, Christopher reappears in Lorelai and Rory's lives with an offer to make up for lost time; Lane deals with Zach's jealousy over a song Brian wrote about her.
