BRAN’S GILMORE GIRLS (SEASON 2 EPISODE 9) SYNOPSIS
A wedding present shows up for Lorelai and Max. Lorelai is like we gotta send this ice cream maker back to whoever sent it which makes Rory & Sookie sad.
The next day at school, Rory gets stuck with Paris & co on a class project. After class, they see that Tristan is back from suspension.
Lorelai has been attending a business class and a younger student named Paul takes a liking to her and asks her out to dinner.
At school, the group reluctantly lets Tristan be their Romeo.
After failing to find who sent Lorelai the ice cream maker, she tries desperately to get rid of it. Sookie is like maybe you should keep the ice cream maker and work on moving on. Lorelai is like well there is this younger guy that asked me out. Sookie is all about it.
Bad news for Rory, the group is coming to Stars Hollow to rehearse at Miss Patty's. Rory is very nervous because Dean doesn't know about her kiss with Tristan and what if they bump into each other and it's weird. Lorelai is like you should tell Dean. So they role play her telling him and it only freaks Rory out more so Lorelai is like you should definitely not tell him.
Tristan shows up to Stars Hollow early just to harass Dean. Rory shows up just in time to stop Dean from punching him. He's not thrilled that he's going to be Romeo but there's nothing she can do.
Lorelai and Rory meet up later at Luke's. Lorelai tells Rory that the date was casual and fun. And Rory tells her about the Dean Tristan fiasco. But then Dean shows up and says he's off tomorrow and wants to come watch rehearsal. So the next day, she goes to give Tristan a heads up and asks him not to tell Dean about the kiss. He's like ok but he's gonna know when he sees us kiss on stage and see how comfortable we are.
Before rehearsal, Rory and Lorelai are together at Luke's when Paul comes in with his parents. He looks like a child and Rory gives her a hard time.
It's rehearsal time, and Tristan does not keep his word. He looks at Dean and is like this reminds me of our first kiss at a party. Dean assumes he's just messing with them and Rory encourages him to leave.
Luke doesn't let the casual date thing go and it's clearly bothering him. Lorelai confronts him on it and he's like it's fine, just live your life.
It's performance night and Tristan is nowhere to be found. He finally shows up but says his dad is pulling him out of school and sending him to military school. He says he'd kiss her goodbye but her boyfriend is watching.
Paris has to put on a wig and play the part. Afterwards, Lorelai is complaining about Luke to Sookie and she's like he's clearly in love with you.
At the diner, she goes to tell Luke that she doesn't have many people in her life that she can count on. She hopes that Luke is one of those people. He says he is.
