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.

Luke takes in his wild 17-year-old nephew, ignoring Lorelai's well-intentioned advice; Rory is drawn to the new guy in town.

Rory agrees to make a debut at a debutante ball, while Lorelai asks Rory's father (David Sutcliffe) to present his daughter at the event.

After the disastrous scene at the wedding, Lorelai begs Luke not to give up on their relationship, and his decision to be alone leaves her devastated.

When Luke agrees to build sets for the elementary school's production of "Fiddler on the Roof," he knows that Lorelai is the costume designer and hopes that their paths will cross.
