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.
With the wedding called off, mother and daughter travel to Harvard University, where Rory gets a glimpse of college life and Lorelai confronts a past that could have been.
Luke takes in his wild 17-year-old nephew, ignoring Lorelai's well-intentioned advice; Rory is drawn to the new guy in town.
Lorelai invites Rory to dinner to tell her that she and Christopher got married in Paris; Logan invites Rory to his new Internet company's launch party; frantic Luke turns to Lorelai for help when April faces a medical emergency.
Lorelai admits her concern that her old friends may not accept Christopher; Lorelai brings Christopher to the town's knit-a-thon, where his well-intentioned gesture ends the event early.
