BRAN’S GILMORE GIRLS (SEASON 2 EPISODE 10) SYNOPSIS

We got snow, folk! We got snow! Lorelei and Rory are working on a snowman for the snowman making contest. But they don’t stand a chance. There’s like a professional snowman maker there doing his thing. 

Roon is back, folks! He’s still working at the inn apparently. We also see Jackson! What an episode. Sooki is busy getting ready for this big dinner for this 17th century festival thing. Jackson is assigned to play the squire. Lorelei gets a call from Christopher. He wants Rory to come stay with him and sherry for a couple days during winter break. 

They get bad news - the dinner is off. The group that was coming is snowed in. Since everything is already planned, they decide to just invite everyone in town! 

Meanwhile, Dean the Saint breaks up a fight that Jess is having. Jess says I don’t need your help. 

This party has everyone from Paris to Richard & Emily. They’re all very confused by Richard is suddenly in a great mood. Everywhere Rory turns, Jess is there just stating staring at her. 

Apparently Lorelei hired a million horse and carriage rides for everyone. She ends up taking a ride with a Luke. He tells her that he’s figured out the secret of parenting - lying. Lorelei breaks the news that kids know when you’re lying. 

While those two love birds take a ride, Jess hops on a sleigh with Rory. They have flirty fun time and then he’s like I don’t feel like Dean your is your type of guy. Rory is like what do you know?! 

It’s dinner time and Richard is the life of the party. And that’s when it comes out - he’s retired. This is news to literally everyone including Emily. 

Before bed, Rory asks if she’s heard from her dad. Lorelei is like ummmm maybe? She tells her about the offer and Rory is like why didn’t you tell me? Lorelei is like I get dibs on this time of year with you! And I don’t like thinking about you not being here with me! Rory is like I get it. Let me think about it. Emily shows up to their room, all flustered about Richard’s big news. She ends up leaving to go for a walk and finds Richard in the lobby. They talk and make up. 

The next morning, everyone is going to leave. Dean catches Rory & Jess making eyes at each other. 

Rory and Lorelei take a sleigh ride home and see that someone destroyed the fancy snowman. Me-thinks it might’ve been Jess.

[00:08:58] Hi everybody How are we? Amazing Yes? Yeah, really good I think we made a good choice not doing this in Old English Like we were talking about It would have been really difficult Especially for thee I would have been really tough I would have had an easy time But you're correct He would Bran

[00:09:27] As someone that didn't participate in this bit How excited are you for the 4th of July? It's coming up 4th of July Yes We're doing a big thing I love the 4th of July Yeah Yes, I love the hot dotting contest I love fireworks My dad has been doing a thing Where he Almost kills himself Almost kills himself shooting out fireworks And it is He has shown me the amount of fireworks Maybe I'll live stream it to the double deckers this year Live stream my dad's Fireworks show

[00:09:56] Maybe I'll do that Another reason to join 45 and 45 45 days of summer I don't know what we're calling it I forgot Hey, let's talk about Gilmore Girls Season 2 Episode 10 Let's start with a hot take I'm going to start with you Chad Chad, what did you think of this episode? Hot take? I loved this episode What? This one was a lot of fun This was great First of all, we Too quickly One problem We did too quickly end fall Get right into winter Yeah, pretty crazy Last week kind of threw us off It was quite the jump

[00:10:26] And we were like Oh, apparently That little detour Went right around the city of fall And now it is Now it is winter It's Christmas Three episodes I think We covered all of fall or something But okay Although I love it so much in fall I wanted to see more But here we go The entire show Comes the independence in So fun And of course As we referenced earlier Guess who's back Back again Cousin Rune He's back again my friend This is wonderful Back again Man Christmas Cousin Rune Our national nightmare's over

[00:10:56] That's right Finally Where have you gone? Rune DiMaggio We were looking for it So it finally brought it back Really good stuff Rory might visit Christopher We don't know That would be cool Richard is back We haven't seen him in a little bit But he's totally out of it Still at the beginning Right? We haven't seen him too much No, it's been a few episodes That's right Correct But he has not been on in a row So it was just Jess It was just a fun episode Everybody is in this, right? Yeah Is Lane in this episode?

[00:11:26] Yeah, because they stay at the hotel That's right That's right Mrs. Tam only brings a really small bag That's right This is a true all play True all play Is there anyone not in it? That's a good question Kurt, Taylor, Rune They're all there Everyone's there No, Paris is there Paris shows up Yes It is a true all play Yeah Very fun What's his name What's his name from That what The town hall That I like so much Bugsy Bootsy Bootsy Bootsy's in this episode Bootsy's there

[00:11:55] I think since they cleared out Cousin Chad Michael Murray's contract They had so much money to pay everybody To get them going Yeah, that's right I think so That might have been just like Jalen Brunson clearing out his contract You get a hundred million He put back on the table Because he's the king of New York, everybody The king of New York That's right So That's why I turned down the hundred million You guys offered me So we could sign some guests at some point That's right It's really Speaking of yeah Brian whenever I'm in Greenville Kind of pops up out of nowhere

[00:12:25] Like Jess does when Rory's around It's kind of creepy Brian stop doing that Please Every time I tell Brian That you're coming to town And we have We're gonna go eat dinner He always says he has a conflict And then he always makes it work anyway I know He's always like Well my kids are There's two of their birthdays And it's my anniversary Did you ever say altar boys? No I was gonna say it's two of their birthdays I was like But I'm gonna make And then he's there It doesn't matter He's there every time He's just in the corner Yeah yeah yeah That one of the men's really handed me a towel

[00:12:54] That's right Yeah yeah yeah for sure Yeah yeah yeah He just stands off to the side He doesn't come join us But he just stands and watches Last time I fed him under the table It was weird It was weird It was weird when you fed him under the table That was a weird thing to do Weirder for him It was so weird yeah For sure I liked it Yeah So where are we? A hot take Great episode Lots of fun And everyone was there I wish we had more with all the characters And Jess jumping into the horse drawn carriage The most predictable plot line of the entire show so far But I loved it nonetheless

[00:13:23] I mean you can't smell horse drawn carriage without lurker You can This is my favorite episode of the show so far It's an all play It's around the holiday season It's fun It shows the quirkiness of the town We have some good A conversation between Luke and Lorelei We have a conversation between Jess and Rory This episode to me was clicking on all cylinders I felt like I was right there in the carriage with them

[00:13:52] Having myself a sleigh ride Sleigh ride So I had a great time I love this episode I think it's my favorite episode so far I had to get a little bit of thought Maybe for the ranking episode But I don't know if I can do that But I love this episode Dano If you don't like this episode You should stop watching Gilmore Girls I think this is The floor of this episode Is an 8 of 10 Gilmore Girls episode Floor of the ceiling Like even if you would rather have a more focused episode About one particular portion

[00:14:21] Of the lives of Rory and Lorelei Great That would be your only way to tell me This isn't the best one so far Between last week's episode Which I think is an absolute banger And this week's episode Show's clicking on all cylinders And finding a way to have everyone In one plot line In the hotel or the inn Was just fantastic I have very few qualms with this episode Aside from the most unrealistic scene Of this episode Which is Without a doubt Richard Talking to Emily

[00:14:51] Telling her exactly how he felt Offering a full Unadulterated apology And Emily For giving him There is no world Where those two Know how to have That conversation It doesn't exist That is not who those people are Aside from that one scene Give me this episode all day And twice on Sunday They might be able to have that conversation With each other It's not with their daughter That would That would That would Showcase that they are at least In some form or fashion

[00:15:20] Healthy And they are not There is no world Where Richard just goes Here's how I Here's how I felt Can they finally have a little bit of this Here's how I felt And it was about Him retiring on his own It was nothing about Anything important There's no world Where that happens Maybe they had a couple drinks At dinner That's not who they are It's just not They don't have that In their tool bag Not without therapy And a lot of working Do they have that conversation In their tool bag They just don't have it I celebrate the wins Yeah I celebrate the wins

[00:15:50] That conversation was bogus And completely unearned And you know what This episode is so good It might still be my favorite episode There you go Wow Yeah Wow Do you think after When they went up to the room Never mind I don't want to think Yeah Yeah they did it Yeah Well of course You think Lorelai will have a little sister Coming up maybe How old do you think they are Is this like an Abraham and Sarah situation Like what are we talking about That'd be great Then nine months from now If all of a sudden The baby shows up

[00:16:20] And starts out In Hartford If there are two people That do not need to sire another child It's Richard and Emily Gilmore Give it another go Please No Do not ever All right Let Amy Sherman Palladino Some Founders Day punch And write that episode And just jackhammer it in It'll work All right Didn't need jackhammer Let's get to all the feels Time for us to talk about When this episode gave us Feel some lines What you got Chad? Dan's line that he just said It was probably my favorite

[00:16:50] Oh man There were three great ones here Sookie When dinner is canceled She goes Oh I'm so mad I'm so sad I'm smad I don't know I thought that was funny That was funny I didn't see it coming I like that They're referencing jazz legend Charlie Parker Yes Charlie Parker had more drugs Than a Rite Aid That was my line That's mine Charlie Parker had more drugs Than a Rite Aid Really good line It's good to see Bad again It's good to see Bad again And there was one more When Richard and Emily Walk in Lorelei She just throws it out There quickly

[00:17:19] You could have missed it They go Oh they're here Who? The Joyless Luck Club Oh yeah Another great one Yeah Just a lot of I mean I had one I narrowed it down I had two And it was Joyless Luck I narrowed it down to one Because we all do one And Chad did three And he took mine So everything's fine So move on to the next episode I liked Rory Sees Dean And his sister And she comments On her dress And she's like Is that Some sort of brand And she's like No it's It's a Walmart

[00:17:50] Which I loved It's a Walmart That's like us On the deckies It's an Amazon It's an Amazon It's a prun Which I really appreciate Paul's daughter That's who she's referencing That designer Oh there you go Paul McCartney's daughter But also At the end there When Dean goes to leave Jess and Rory Make eyes with each other They're clear And Rory's doing this thing That she's kind of like Oh shucks One of those things And Dean looks over And sees them It's quick It's like Two seconds maybe

[00:18:20] But boy Did that tell a story Very excited To see where we go here That was good That's good stuff And just to once again Go back to last week's episode And not knowing When it took place Like she does Kind of that same thing Where she With Tristan Right before Tristan Is about to leave And he's like I'd kiss you But your boyfriend's Right there And she kind of does This aw shucks Look And the chemistry That those two have Is Rory's better Than the chemistry

[00:18:50] She has with us So that short Tiny little scene There of two seconds May have been undercut By the same scene That happened The episode before That was kind of Out of order But nevertheless It was good I remember She just started acting With this show She only has so many looks She can get That's true That's true Chad took my quote But I do have a feels Which is You know We get a lot of messages Emails, comments And chat people On this show Because people Care so much about it And so

[00:19:19] In one of those formats I don't remember Somebody gave me A hard time For shortening Christopher's name To Chris In one of those They were like It's always Christopher At the beginning Of this episode Lorelei calls him Chris Straight up Calls him Chris And I just wanted On the record Felt pretty vindicated That you know You can sleep tonight Dan That occasionally Every Christopher That's ever lived Has been called Chris Everyone Daniel is correct You get it You get it Thank you Wow Granford Yes

[00:19:48] Thank you Bran It's Brantley Brantley Brantley Brantley Brantley Yes Of course Chad Chadwick Chadwick No Just Chad Just Chad Let's take a break We'll come back And we will get to the Wait what And the written In the stars hollow Here on Gilmore the merrier La la la la La la la la Hi everybody Welcome back We are talking about Season 2 Episode 10

[00:20:17] Of the Gilmore Girls It's a good one There's snow There's sleigh rides But are there Wait what That's what we're Going to talk about I'll start with you Chad What in this episode Made you go Wait what That was beautiful One we touched on Already Was that it's Winter break So it's ostensibly The last week Before Christmas Or so And three episodes Ago was fall In the beginning Of the school year And I was bummed About that Because I was Really enjoying Fall The fall decorations I thought there Could be a lot more With fall Why rush it To the end of that

[00:20:47] But it is We already covered that Christopher Or Chris Or Chris Whatever you call him Yeah That's right He At the beginning Of this series When we were first Introduced to him They say he calls weekly And speaks to them weekly And I thought that was Maybe too frequent And then Morby goes Have you heard from dad He usually calls Quote This time of year In other words He calls seasonally Yeah It was a weird line And I I think that What The way that I Took that

[00:21:16] Was There was a Clear call That happens Every year On top of the Weekly ones And Rory's like I feel like we Should have heard This call by now But it still Was super weird But I think They were just Driving home the point How crazy it is That Lorelai Didn't tell her Because it's crazy That Lorelai Didn't tell her Like it's more Selfish to me That Like In the episode Two episodes ago Which feels like A lifetime ago I know it does To all of us But when she gets Really mad at Suki She's clearly Working through Her own things And she's

[00:21:46] Reflecting them On to Suki And we all know That that's not Suki That's Lorelai In this situation I think we're Supposed to think The same thing But this is just Download dirty This is just Being a bad parent And a bad person And so But that line I remember hearing it And just kind of like Went Calls his time A year I'm like Good thing We didn't make it real Like storing the virtues Of why Lorelai Should be with Christopher Because I would have Been really embarrassed Yeah that would have Been really stupid If we'd done that And I want to be clear I think we got a lot Of pushback in the comments There I don't think She should end up

[00:22:16] With him I just think Their chemistry Is crazy good I don't want her To end up with him To be clear Like I don't I don't think He calls weekly There's been nothing Said in this show About him being Present in the least There is There is If you go back On it's like The very first episode Where Chris is introduced They say he calls weekly And I pointed out I thought it was so weird Because he didn't know About Dean Who she's already been Dating for a few months I go Why did they make it That frequent They should have said Monthly or whatever You can't have it both ways

[00:22:45] You can't have a guy Who calls his daughter Weekly but the guy Doesn't pay child support You can't You can't have it both ways This show's trying to Make Christopher Too many things Exactly Yeah They do have great chemistry But you're right They shouldn't necessarily End up together 100% Your life should end up With Rune We all agree Yeah I think That's a no brainer After those thighs We saw those thighs We're shipping Lorun Lai I believe is the name Lorun Lai Lorun Lai Lorun Lai Lorun Lai Their celebrity name That's right Love that

[00:23:15] Anything else Chad That was it for my Wait what Just a couple Team Lorun Lai's Shirts would fly off The shelves So easy to say Go to the merch store There's so many sleighs Guys this is a lot of sleighs It's a lot of horses This is enough Horse and carriages For everybody at the end That's right That's a lot That's a lot A lot of money To pay for that evening That you didn't make any money on Because of the Chicago thing Right But you know what We've been in a situation Dan where you have it We've taken a bath

[00:23:45] We have it here It would make more sense To cancel But we've already Put it out We can't get the money So I get it They paid in full though They do manage It does seem that way That's true Yeah it does seem that way Luke without a hat Seems wrong He shows up Did that to dinner And he's not wearing his hat And I'm like Oh this is why He wears a hat Because it didn't seem right And I didn't like it And I would like my Luke To always have a hat on Please and thank you At one point

[00:24:15] Dean's sister says Can I go eat dessert With the horses No ma'am You may not It's freezing It's freezing out there Horses are nuts Sometimes You can't be eating dessert With the horses Out in the middle of winter New England winter It's crazy It's a crazy thing to ask Last but not least Richard and Emily Don't strike me As the robes In a hotel lobby type Nope Both of those two people Are like

[00:24:44] He would not Step outside of his room Not in a suit He would maybe Wear his own Take his own robe To a hotel Which he may have But I don't think He would have left his room No I agree I agree I'm always wearing a suit And then she's Emily is going to take A walk in her robe I don't They are very Prim and proper And the We are in a public place Now is the time To robe out The lunacy of that Conversation Yeah They don't strike me As a system Dana

[00:25:13] So I know that The Chicago folks Paid in advance Did they pay For them to keep The horses and sleighs There all night long To give morning rides As well Seems like a big Financial commitment Because in the morning Lorelei and Rory Take a horse-drawn sleigh Home Yeah And that Like You rent horse-drawn sleighs For an evening You're probably out some money Yeah You rent them for an evening And for the next morning

[00:25:42] Seems a little bit overkill Just a little bit This predates Uber So they're a lot more prevalent They're just out in the valley Oh you think they were Like taxis And you know what we call them Neighbors Oh Instead of Uber Neighbors Neighbors Right Hey good one Hey Oh my goodness Carrots I don't know Yeah So Mrs. Kim and Lane Show up to stay in the hotel And Lorelei's like Where's your bag And she holds up The tiniest little bag And she said This is all my stuff

[00:26:11] People have too much stuff Says Mrs. Kim Who runs a store Jam-packed with stuff Hanging from the ceilings Of all the characters To say that people Have too much stuff It's weird She makes a living Off of selling Right Stuff But no you know what That's not her stuff She's so smart She doesn't need all that No It's just jams Cluttered everywhere Make you know She knows people need stuff People need stuff I don't need Why is it all cluttered then In the house She has too much stuff

[00:26:40] She has too much stuff Thank you Banking on Again she doesn't want She doesn't want it I have two more Both are gonna bother Bray and I would assume The first I finally just wrote it down At some point It's just not charming To never make a move It's It is just You are in a sleigh You're in a horse Drawn sleigh Dude Right Like Like At some point It's not charming

[00:27:09] It's not part of your appeal It's not Fun Funny Cool Impressive It's Just Bad Like There Guys This is We're 30 some episodes in I think that's well Within the right time I thought I don't think we've pushed To get it I don't disagree There will be a time Where it's like And we've not hit it yet No no I'm saying Like in general With a TV show There is a time Where it's like Okay you just gotta tell

[00:27:39] I don't think I'm there yet That's insanity I'm enjoying the journey These two characters have Like Known each other For a long time Before this show started Right but we haven't Okay Well that leans into my second one So I'm glad we're here Thanks for For helping me there That's what I'm doing It is one of the most romantic Rides you can take together Would have been a nice time To shoot your shot Jess yep Pretty good one Jess has an opportune time With Rory to be just with her And is as impressive as Jess Has been in this show so far Okay

[00:28:09] And makes the point That with Dean What do you do You go on dates And then you basically Explain literature to him And basically makes the point That not being intellectually In the kind of the same ballpark With someone Could cause a big problem In a relationship Have you met Lorelai and Luke Have you met them Right right Have you met them This guy's dumb as a box Of hammers And she Knows every reference Under the sun If Dean Is not good enough For Rory Luke

[00:28:38] Is not anywhere Near good enough For Lorelai But Jess only cares about If he's good enough For Rory Correct But the point He's making Is a Like I like Dean Still I still think Dean Is a stand up dude But there is no mistake That he's a blue collar Working class And I think it's fine For a blue collar Working class dude To end up with a white collar Lady like or whatever Like I think that's fine But the If Jess's point is You're not gonna make it With Dean Because at the end of the day You're just not compatible You know

[00:29:07] You're intellectually Working on a level He's not working on That is Luke gang That's Lorelai and Luke He should be self eliminated Based on the fact That Lorelai is incredibly Smart, successful And ambitious And Luke Is Luke That should be done We should be done With this conversation Jess's point is well taken Apply it to the two main characters Please Thank you Back to you Brian Does Dean know What an LLC is Brother Is he able

[00:29:37] To You know At his age I bet he knows more Than Luke did Oh my gosh Unbelievable Sometimes there's more Than just intellect There's love There's a lot Listen You don't have to be I want to I want to make it very clear I don't personally believe That two people Have to be intellectually compatible To have a successful relationship I'm saying that in this show There is a clear push Right now That Jess is making About Dean That we are supposed To somewhat buy That Jess is a better Match for Dean Because Jess reads These books

[00:30:07] And he gets her On a deeper level To kill a mockingbird At the very least Yeah But like He gets her on a level That Dean just doesn't Get her on That Is the most True thing That we could say About Lorelai and Luke Jess is arguing Against Luke That's right Interesting I don't know I start dating I start dating my wife Because I gave her a copy Of Alan Ginsberg's Howl And she's like Wow you're well read So we were dating That's it That's how it happened

[00:30:35] Alan Ginsberg gets the ladies Every time I don't Exactly There is absolutely A parallel And they've made it In the show To Dean and Luke Luke I do think That the show Has gone out of its way To make Rory Intellectually Superior To everyone Including her mom Like I don't think That they Like she is Super smart Like to your point Lorelai knows The references Yeah

[00:31:04] Like pop culture references But Lorelai's pretty bright I don't disagree But they But Rory is Reading non-stop I mean She's going to a Like But last episode He said That Lorelai was Intellectually superior Than Luke And you didn't blink You said You thought That was fine That he said That last episode And this episode I didn't catch it I clocked it immediately I was like This is going to play great I think both Lorelai And Luke Are quite smart No I think Lorelai Is also intellectually Superior to Luke And I think

[00:31:34] Just because she didn't Have formal training Like Rory does Doesn't make her Any less smart I think she is Luke makes Her favorite Luke makes her Favorite coffee And that goes a long way Don't forget that Yeah It does Absolutely Yeah Absolutely All right Let's get rid of The Star Solid Let's do it What you got Okay I've got some Questions here Jess and Dean Seem to be clearly On a collision course Exactly how bad Is this going to get Are we talking Full blown Fisticuffs Long term Long term I don't know

[00:32:04] Which one Long term Which one Did we choose I can't touch I'm torn Or whatever it goes Natalie And Bruglia style So what Do they fight At some point I would love to see it I mean obviously Jesse loves to throw down Yeah Yes Did you say Jesse Yeah That's So that you can call Chris Christopher Jesse It's a one to one Absolutely As soon as Natalie And Bruglia enters the chat All bets are off We're all flustered At that point I can't think I'm torn I don't know any lyrics

[00:32:34] That song it turns out None except the word torn I think it's pretty I think it's pretty We can do a karaoke At Bramble Pist Oh okay I'd love that Is there karaoke At Bramble Fest Yes Saturday night It's the crowning It's the reason Everybody comes to town Will Chad Stay up two nights In a row Doubt it Chad will almost Certainly be in bed By the time Karaoke starts I love noon karaoke Guys It's great My favorite time For karaoke I think it's pretty clear That as of right now I like Jess

[00:33:03] More than Dean I'm not I'm not high on Dean I think it's pretty clear You are not A Dean boy If you ask me currently I'm team Dean And team anybody But Luke Okay Where are you at With the Dean Versus Jess Specifically At this point At this point Still with Dean Because I haven't seen Enough of Jess To think that He's anything other than You know He could be preparing And reading these things To impress Rory Correct That he knows She reads a lot

[00:33:33] So I don't know enough And Dean Really loves her Looks after her And is a good guy Overall So right now Yeah I think It's I'm not saying The Kill a Mockingbird Reference Does It's like What's a book Like he doesn't Actually read I don't think That it's like Far and away Dean's got it But right now I just don't think That I've seen Enough of Jess To where Like I think Dean is a really good Like seems You know Just give me Dean or Jess Currently Right after the To Kill a Mockingbird Reference

[00:34:03] She goes back And says Oh you're a regular Holden Caulfield Who was Catching the ride Correct So and I didn't know That Jess had any Glint of recognition So maybe Yeah yeah yeah There was no blink That he was like Oh Jay Ellinger Nothing I do like this theory That Jess is a serial killer Who every day Is like looking up References That he can work Into conversation Could very well Be the case I don't hate it If this show took place In 2026 He'd be chat GPTing Before he talked Or like a serial killer I really like a smart girl

[00:34:32] Give me things That I can work In seamlessly Into conversation Mine is I've never wanted To see a scene More than my boy Bootsy Singing Hotel California While beating spoons Into his head Jackson on the drums Jackson on the drums With his tummy We got a lot Of explanation Of this scene And with every bit Of information That I heard about it I wanted to see it All the more They kept like Kind of teasing it out And by the end I'm like Now I'm mad That I did not
