Rory's first day at Chilton Prep begins badly when Lorelai accompanies her daughter into the intimidating school wearing a T-shirt, cut-off jeans and cowboy boots, an outfit that draws disapproving stares from the other mothers.

Lorelai is determined to win the annual Stars Hollow dance marathon, and forces Rory to be her partner, and Rory and Jess argue nonstop, even with the townspeople whirling around them on the dance floor.

On the eve of Sookie's wedding, Lorelai and Rory's father spend a romantic night together, and Rory is so happy to see Jess she greets him with a surprisingly passionate kiss.

Lorelai impulsively calls Rory's father Christopher in the midst of her wild bachelorette party and realises that she can't marry Max.

While Rory struggles to keep the budding rivalry between Dean and Jess under control, Lorelai invites most of the citizens of Stars Hollow to an elaborate feast.

Rory and her grandfather enjoy a glorious day of golf, making Lorelai feel left out and the inn hosts a double wedding with two sets of identical twins.
