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.

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

Lorelai's retired father visits and drives her and Rory crazy critizing all aspects of their lives.

Jess outbids Dean to win a picnic lunch date with Rory at the annual Stars Hollow Picnic Basket Auction.

Christopher brings his new girlfriend (guest star Mädchen Amick) to Stars Hollow, throwing Lorelai and Rory for a loop.
