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.

Upon returning from their second honeymoon, Richard and Emily attend the customary Friday night dinner, but an angry Lorelai refuses to see or speak with Emily.

When Rory spies Logan out on the town with another girl, she immediately regrets their agreement to date other people.

Rory does all she can to control the rivalry between Dean and Jess; Lorelai invites just about everyone to an elaborate feast.

Lorelai is angry when Rory tells Emily about their home's termite damage and Emily offers a repair loan.
