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.

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.

Luke, wanting to get to know his newly discovered daughter, goes to talk with the girl's mother (Sherilyn Fenn); Lorelei finds her dress and sets a date but has a feeling that something is about to go wrong.

Though Lorelai is excited about going to a Bangles concert, she offers the four concert tickets to Rory and three of her new schoolmates.

Lorelai enlists Luke to help find a missing chick; Rory quarrels with her boyfriend over housewifery.
