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 asks Lorelai to be her driver and companion following minor eye surgery; Rory takes charge of Logan's recovery; Luke helps out with his sister's pregnancy.
Troubadours overrun Stars Hollow; Rory throws Logan a party on the eve of his London departure; Emily and Richard play matchmaker for Christopher; Sonic Youth, Yo La Tengo perform.
Lorelai wakes up in bed with Christopher, then tries to get rid of everything that reminds her of Luke; Logan gives Rory a plane ticket; Kirk and Taylor cause an accident that damages Luke's diner; Luke asks Lorelai to elope.
Lorelai becomes increasingly serious about Max; Luke's girlfriend accuses him of being in love with Lorelai; Rory attempts to win Dean back.
