BRAN’S GILMORE GIRLS (SEASON 1 EPISODE 20) SYNOPSIS
We're at Luke's and Rory is very tiredddd. To cheer her up, they play 1, 2, 3 He's Yours. You know the rules, you love it. Lorelai passes on the first 2 guys, so she's stuck with the 3rd guy...who is Kirk. Big laugh. Funny funny. Rory agrees to play and Dean walks by first, so now she's just sad.
Later in the day, Max calls Lorelai. He says we've been having phone convos for a couple weeks, let's do the next call in person on a date. She agrees.
Rory is hanging out with Lane, actively avoiding Dean. But things are about to get real weird when Lane and Dean have to meet up to work on a school project together.
Lorelai sees Luke walking out of the cat store. She gives him a hard time when she finds out that he's planning on giving Rachel a cat pot holder for Rachel's birthday. She says let me go shopping for you and get her something she'll actually like.
She brings him all the stuff but also surprises him with a bunch of clothes for him to wear. He's not thrilled.
At school, Max pulls Rory aside to talk about how he's gonna go on a date with her mom. That's how she found out. And she is not thrilled. NO ONE IS THRILLED!
She's helping Luke with his new clothes when Rachel walks in. And it's awkward.
When Rory gets back to Stars Hollow, she blows up at her mom. Lorelai says we'll talk more about it when we get home, but when she gets home, Rory is nowhere to be found.
We find out that Rory went to EMILY AND RICHARD'S, literally the meanest thing she could possibly do to her mom.
Lorelai gets home and is freaking out. Can't find Rory anywhere. She gets a call from her mom and finds out where Rory is. Emily encourages her not to come.
Max is there and he finds out that all of this is because he talked to her about them before Lorelai did but then he's like wait why didn't you tell her and that turns into a whole thing.
Lorelai thinks all of this has to do with how hard of a time she's having since the break up, so she goes to tell Dean off and that's when she finds out they broke up because she didn't say I love you back.
Armed with that info, she goes to talk to Rory and tell her that she doesn't want her to be afraid of commitment just because she is.
They head home and she calls Max and tells him that she's gonna tell everyone she knows that she's with Max Medina.
