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 accepts Max's wedding proposal; Richard's disapproval of Dean leads to a fight between Rory and her grandfather.

Lorelei finally tells Emily that she is getting married, but her mother's disinterest hurts her feelings.

Lorelai impulsively calls Rory's father, Christopher, during her bachelorette party and realizes that she cannot marry Max.

Rory is disappointed when Logan doesn't invite her to be his date at a book-signing party thrown by his father; Richard spies Emily talking to a former flame and rear-ends her car, forcing an opportunity for reconciliation.
