Overview

Set in the close-knit town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut, Gilmore Girls follows Lorelai and Rory Gilmore, a mother and daughter whose unusually open relationship shapes the series. Their lives combine family matters, friendship, romance, and quick-witted comedy, while the small-town setting gives everyday events a distinctive sense of community. This is the thirteenth episode of the first season, with a running time of about 44 minutes.
