The Ins and Outs of Inns is an episode of Gilmore Girls that focuses on the relationship between Lorelai and her best friend who is a chef at the inn named Sookie. After Lorelai’s failed engagement they start working on their plan to really get their own Inn started.

One of the big problems with this plan is Mia. Mia is kind of Lorelai’s surrogate mother. She owns the Independence Inn and gave Lorelai her first job as a maid. She also let her live on the property. Lorelai feels slighted and scared when Mia says that she was just keeping the inn for so long just because of Lorelai and now she wanted to sell it. Lorelai freaks out on Sookie and she says that maybe Sookie is too indecisive to be a good partner.

Emily also shows up at the Inn. She’s never met Mia before and they have words just because she feels that Mia should have really sent her home.

Like Mother, Like Daughter is one of the more lighthearted episodes of this show. We see the younger Gilmore Girl Rory getting in trouble at school. Her grades are fine but the school doesn’t feel like she’s socializing properly. Sure, they only see that she sits alone at lunch. She feels slighted because she isn’t alone; she just hasn’t made friends there yet and who would with people like Paris and Tristan around?

To remedy this she sits down at a table and ends up joining a secret sorority which she didn’t even know existed. Paris also wants to be a member and Rory tries to get her in. When Lorelai complains about the forced socialization she is chided for not being more active in school activities and ends up dragging Emily to be a model in a fashion show that she organizes. The two walk in a fashion show together and even end up having some fun in the process.

During the episode of Gilmore Girls called Nick & Nora/Sid & Nancy we see first meet Jess. Jess is Luke’s rebellious nephew. He has really become so rebellious that his mom can’t handle him. Since Luke is such a stabilizing influence he really just ends up offering to have Jess come live with him. No one consults Jess or how he’s really going to adjust to life in such a small town and being away from his family and his friends.

In usual Luke fashion he just assumes that he will be able to fix whatever problems might be there even though he has never had kids or doesn’t know a whole lot about them. Lorelai tries to tell him that he’s getting into a lot more than he can handle but Luke refuses to listen because his family needs him. Instead, we see Jess’ arrival in Stars Hollow even though Luke only lives in a small apartment above his diner and there really is no room for him. We immediately see that Jess is going to have a lot of conflict with such a quaint town.

Red Light on the Wedding Night

This episode of Gilmore Girls shows Lorelai getting cold feet. She’s been alone so long that she can’t really imagine a life with Max. She has trouble making room for him in her life; but especially with his new role as soon to be step father and doesn’t want him to be in charge of any of the decisions or discipline that may arise in the future with Rory.

Sure, Emily tries to sabotage plenty of Lorelai’s relationships throughout the show but in this one she ruins a relationship by trying to be encouraging. However, when she talks about how excited she was to marry Richard, Lorelai knows that Max isn’t the one because she doesn’t feel the same way about him. In this episode we also see Luke come to the rescue once again. He gives a Chuppah to Lorelai so she can get married underneath it because she hasn’t really done anything to clean up the yard. This is an iconic image because both of them stand under the archway to really admire it alluding that a relationship between the two may form.
