This is the season when Lorelei does not get married, but Sookie does. There’s a new Jess in town and Cristopher has a new Sherrie, then he has an old Lorelei but then again, he has a pregnant Sherrie… Lane hides a Korean boy from her mom and loses him, Richard loses a job and starts a new one, and Lorelei graduates.

Stars Hollow is full of yellow daisies. Lane is worried her parents will send her to Korea forever. Everyone in town, even Rory, thinks Luke has feelings for her. Lorelei tells Max yes, and Sooki cries when she tells her. Lorelei has glasses at home… Rory invites Dean to her grandma’s special dinner in her honor. Surprisingly, Richard is more hostile than Emily, awkwardly hostile, so much Rory gets upset too. When Sooki tells Emily about the wedding, Emily insists Richard will have to apologize to Rory. She’s hurt that Lorelei didn’t tell her.

Rory freaks out because she doesn’t have charity credits that will help her enter Harvard, while Paris has been doing it for years. Lorelei is hurt by Emily’s lack of reaction when she tells her.

Three months go away quickly, it’s already two weeks to her wedding. She says she loves him and he’s the love of her life, and he sleeps at her house and they go on a double date with Rory and Dean, an adorable date :-D Taylor gets a traffic light installed in front of Luke’s diner, and the light blinds Kirk who drives into it. At Lorelei bachelorette’s party, Emily is there, and Emily and Patty start talking about how excited they were, but Lorelei isn’t. And she still hasn’t given him the keys to her house. I guess Summer’s over. The wedding is that same weekend, Luke even made her a huppah, brought it at her house to get married under it, but all of a sudden it feels so wrong not to be as excited as everyone said they were when they got married, that she takes Rory and they leave for a trip of five or six days… they leave so early in the morning nobody sees them… but they still have to stop at the red light. I hope they’ll warn everyone so they won’t gather all at an empty house…

They’re on a trip not knowing where they’re going. She calls Sookie to tell her the engagement is off, and to tell Patti so everyone will know soon. They stop at a B&B, she thought a sort of friend owned it, but the new owner is a woman who named it The Cheshire Cat, the decoration is full of flowers. They have a bit of fight, and Lorelei says “I wish I did love him”. They go looking at Harvard, to take a look around, and Rory attends a lesson. They’re actually back before the weekend. Lane is back.

Luke’s sister Liz sent her son to live with him. He’s 17, Jess. Rory hopes for a truce with Paris to work together on the paper. It doesn’t start well. And she feels awkward seeing Max. So Paris gives her the big interview with Mr Medina…
Luke and Jess are invited at Lorelei’s house, but it doesn’t go well. Jess hates being there. Jess looks and acts like a rebel but he knows books. OmG, if he loves books, we know already how it will end, right?

Emily's friends tell her to send Rory to a debutante ball. Lorelei calls Christopher to tell him because the father should escort the daughter in. He agrees, and comes here. Richard and Emily keep fighting. He’s got work troubles, and doesn’t want to ever stop working. Emily can always ruin things, bringing up how Lorelei should have had a ball like that. Christopher has a woman, Sherrie, and they live together and it’s serious.

At the Chilton, they say that Rory doesn’t interact much, always reading alone, so she sits at a random table and it turns out those girls are all in the n.1 sorority club, the Puffs. Rory gets Paris to sit there too, she really wanted to. Lorelei gets trapped into helping out a group so she has the event at the Independence Inn and she models next to her mom. They’re actually cute together. The sorority girls ‘kidnap’ Rory and Paris for their initiation, only Lorelei warned Rory beforehand so she’s all cute. They’re blindfolded and made to ring a bell in the headmaster’s office, but they’re caught and scolded. Rory is veery upset. Now she’ll be allowed to read at lunch :lol:
8-
Lorelei and Sookie are seriously talking and discussing opening their own Inn, but Fran of the bakery doesn’t want to sell. Mia, the Independence Inn’s owner, is back. Lorelei appeared at her door 15 years ago begging for a job. When Lorelei tells her of her project, Mia is not upset but glad she might now sell the Inn. Lorelei is so upset she fights with Sookie. Emily comes to meet Mia, a brief chat and then Emily asks for old pictures.
9-
Rory and her school group must play a Shakespeare scene and there’s Tristin too, and they’ll rehearse at Miss Patti’s (she’s on the internet). Tristin of course bothers Dean. She asks Tristin to not tell him that they kissed once. At the end, he can’t even act in the play because he’s pulled out of school, so Paris plays Romeo instead. Even Sookie tells Lorelei that Luke is into her, so she sort of asks him out… but also not, apparently, it’s not clear. Anyway, it appears they’re going to ignore it.
10-
There was a big dinner party planned at the Inn but they can’t come because of the snow. It was already paid, luckily, so Lorelei and Sookie invite the whole town. Jess and Dean of course do not get along. Richard and Emily are there too, and he appears all happy, then it turns out he’s not working anymore. Lorelei is jealous of Sherrie and doesn’t like the idea of Rory going to stay with him/them. Emily is upset Richard didn’t tell her he left his job, but they make peace of course.
11-
Lorelei’s home porch is full of termites. She has a big fight with Rory because she refuses to ask her parents for money but Rory tells Emily anyway. At the end the only way she can get a loan is if Emily signs too. Lane is a cheerleader at her school, and so cute at it.
12-
Now that Richard’s home all the time, Emily is going crazy so she asks Lorelei to keep him occupied a whole day. After months of working on it, Dean has finally finished Rory’s car. Taylor puts Rory’s face and name on the Vhs rental shop because they put all inappropriate videos behind a red curtain. Poor Richard feels useless now.
13-
One of the town’s tradition is that the girls put together a basket, boys buy it and then they eat it together, but Jess buys Rory’s basket because Dean could not outbid him. Dean doesn’t want her to go but Rory goes anyway, she shares the picnic with Jess, they talk about books and then go for a pizza and she likes him… of course…
Lorelei tries to tell her to stay away from him, but stops when Emily agrees with her. Lane was still with Henry Cho, but never actually seeing each other because she had not told her mother, so he leaves her and she’s so sad.
14-
Chris comes to the Chilton to see Rory’s debate, and Sherrie is with him. She wants to meet Rory so they go out together and Chris joins Lorelei at her parents. So Emily yells at Lorelei because she always wanted to see the family back together and is worried that Sherrie won’t just steal Chris but Rory too.
At the end, Lorelei tells Chris that maybe deep down she could never commit to anyone because she was waiting for him but now she can move on… and of course he’s not happy, he gets angry because it does sound like she’s blaming him for her ‘unhappy years’, meaning for her failed stories, and it’s not right.
15-
Lorelei hires Jess to do some work on the house because Rory insisted, she likes Jess and wants them to get along, she makes a speech to both of them about this. Luke rents a new apartment to have more space for himself and Jess, and it turns out Taylor owns the building, so the contract is null. Dean notices that Rory isn’t wearing his bracelet anymore so she looks everywhere for it. She lost it two weeks before at the picnic but never noticed , and seeing how crazy she’s acting now, Jess puts it in her room under her bed so she can find it. Lorelei saw him coming out of her room and now the peace is broken because she thinks he stole it and bad words are exchanged.
16-
Luke is having works done at his apartment above the diner. Lorelei goes to a spa with Emily for the weekend, two days. Emily talks a lot but honestly for once she’s not antagonistic, it’s Lorelei that needs a good check. It’s actually nice until Emily dances with a man and freaks out, and chooses to go home earlier. She complains that they can’t have a relationship and wonders why.
Since she’s home alone, Rory wants to stay alone - no Dean - to do the laundry as she likes it and eat Indian food that Lorelei doesn’t like. Paris shows up asking for a bit of study review and then Jess shows up with food, lying and saying Luke sent it. He wants to stop and eat so Rory has Paris stay too, and when Dean comes to see her, it’s awkward and he gets angry so Paris lies for her, volunteering that she asked Rory to invite Jess for her. At the end, after they eat at Luke’s, Rory goes to pay and stays a bit to talk to Jess, and Dean watches from outside wondering ‘Rory wouldn’t lie, would she?’ … well, she’s a teenage girl, not the saint her mom paints her to be.
17-
Luke books 9 rooms at the Inn because an uncle died and he plans the funeral, but then no relatives want to come, and even the veterans in town don’t want to go because Louie was bad, mean to everyone. The Gilmore girls help at the diner while he runs around to arrange everything, even Jess helps after Rory finds him and drags him to the diner…
Emily learned of Sookie’s wedding and started making suggestions, which quickly developed into insanity, like acrobats and things imported from all over the world, until Lorelei brings her back to reality.
The veterans do come to play instruments at the funeral and then they all gather at the diner for the wake.
18-
Rory leads a project for school and enlists Richard’s help, and he helps a lot and enjoys it, and gets enraged when they don’t win. Still, he liked the experience so much he wants to start working again, as a teacher and counselor. Lorelei has a word with Dean about his calling Rory 14 times a day, so he stops, but he knows she likes Jess.
19-
Luke asks Rory to tutor Jess after the principal tells him he’ll loose the year if he doesn’t change.Lorelei is worried. It’s definitely more a date than a study session. They go driving and have an accident. Rory only has a wrist fracture but Lorelei gets mad and yells at Luke. Rory’s car is in bad shape. Lorelei calls Chris and he comes. At the end, the town watches Kirk’s film and the girls hear Babette saying Luke sent Jess back home.

Richard rented an office, but he’s about to abandon “The Gilmore Group” project when his old secretary Margie prefers to stay at her present, old job. Lorelei offers to help him set up. A new shop opens in town, a music shop, and Lane is enchanted. Rory is sort of upset that everyone in town blames Jess and always Jess, and only Jess for their accident.
Lane checks the music shop and now wants to become a drummer. Richard feels so good, and Lorelei is so good at her job, that Richard wanted to keep working with her, together, but she already has a job so pushes him to choose a new secretary. He chooses Karen. Rory yells at her mom because of Jess. Only Rory and Luke agree that it wasn’t his fault - an animal crossed the street in front of them.

It’s the end of Lorelei’s business class and she’s about to graduate, so Rory secretly invites her grandparents. Rory chooses to ditch school and take a but to New York to go meet Jess, ‘because he had not said goodbye’. Lorelei is embarrassed that her parents come with a videomaker, but then she’s glad that they’re there. Rory isn’t though, her bus runs late and she misses the ceremony. She confesses going to New York and feels very bad for missing it. Apparently Lorelei “has been going to business school at the Community College for three years”.
22-
Paris runs for school president, and she’s of course competent, but nobody likes her, so Paris asks Rory to be her vice-president . Christopher and Sherrie may break up, so he spends the night with Lorelei, and they decide to make it work, or well, to try…
Jess comes back to ask Luke if he can come back, Luke agrees so he stays. If Rory and Paris win, she’ll have to spend the Summer in Washington. Jess goes to tell Rory that he moved back, and she kisses him before running away. All three Gilmore girls were happy to have Christopher with them, but then Sherrie calls to say she’s pregnant, so he goes to her.
