Posted by Lorelei on Mar 22, 2012 in Gilmore Girls | 0 comments

Kiss and Tell is one of the more poignant episodes in the first season of Gilmore Girls. It’s all about Rory’s first kiss with Dean and all of the complications that it causes. It shows the first signs of love between the two, but also relates it back to Lorelai’s situation and how fragile and even unfair that can be. Lorelai is afraid that Dean is like Rory’s father Christopher.

It turns out to be a sweet and innocent kiss right in the middle of the grocery store. However, Rory is so shaken up by the event that she mistakenly shoplifts. She also doesn’t know how to tell her mother Lorelai; even though they tell each other everything. Rory just doesn’t want Lorelai to freak out that she’s giving up on all of her hopes and dreams. This is something that happens often throughout the show. Sure, Rory is ambitious and really dreams of going to Harvard and works hard to achieve it.

The Breakup Part 2 is an episode of Gilmore Girls with a lot of important life lessons. Rory is trying to get over the loss of her first boyfriend just because she couldn’t say I love you. It’s one of the few episodes that are actually applicable to life; because it shows what happens when you don’t really deal with your feelings.

Lorelai is of course there for her as both her best friend and her mother. She tries to get Rory to wallow; but Rory just wants to tackle a giant to do list and not deal with her problems. However, this ends up with dire consequences. Lane ends up going to her with a party at Chilton. Lane ends up meeting a cute Korean boy. In the meantime Rory sees Tristan in a moment where he’s actually vulnerable and they end up kissing. Rory cries and then goes home to wallow.

The Third Lorelai

Throughout Gilmore Girls we know that Rory is named after Lorelai. In fact Lorelai named her that way on purpose because she figures if men can name their sons after themselves then so can she.

However, then we find out that there is actually another Lorelai. In fact Lorelai is named after her grandmother who is Richard’s mom. She is a very proper woman. What’s more hilarious is that Emily and the Third Lorelai don’t get along. This closely mirrors what happens between Emily and Lorelai, without Emily ever knowing it.

In this episode we also see a date between Paris and Tristan; well we don’t see it but we know that it happened. However, this should be a dream come true for Paris because she’s always really like Tristan. When it doesn’t end up working out Paris of course does the perfectly logical thing and gets mad at Rory.

Emily in Wonderland

Stars Hollow is always really a refuge for Lorelai; that is until Emily comes to town. Stars Hollow is where Lorelai raised Rory and where she lives. It’s only about 30-45 minute drive to her parents’ house but it’s her safe haven on Gilmore Girls.

However then Rory invites Emily to Stars Hollow to pick up some antiques. It’s pretty funny at first just because it isn’t the kind of place that Emily would fit in or even visit. However, she gets into the spirit of things by wearing a jogging suit. However, when she finds out what Lorelai and Rory’s life was like when they were younger it’s a rude awakening. They didn’t have much contact then and there certainly weren’t Friday night dinners. Then she sees the inn and finds out that Rory and Lorelai used to live in a shed; although it’s a very nice shed. This has drastic consequences when Emily sees the life that her daughter would have rather lead than to live with her.
