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.

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.

Rory makes a moving valedictory speech on graduation day; Rory discovers Lorelai is making a huge sacrifice to pay her tuition; Richard and Emily present their granddaughter with a lavish gift.

After the disastrous scene at her parents' marriage recommitment ceremony, Lorelai begs Luke not to give up on their relationship.

Mother and daughter both wrestle with romance when Rory finds herself painfully flustered every time she is around Dean, while Lorelai agrees to have dinner with Rory's teacher Max Medina.

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.
