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.
Emily tells Lorelai that she would like to get to know her future son-in-law better and asks her to invite Luke over for dinner.
When Rory's father makes an unexpected visit, he awakens long-buried feelings of passion in Lorelai, as well as inspiring anger in Lorelai's parents.
Rory's boyfriend declares his love for her; Lorelai endures dinner with her parents and a blind date.
Rory and Logan invite Luke and Lorelai to spend a weekend with them at Logan's family house on Martha's Vineyard.
