Students bombard Lorelai with questions about her teenage pregnancy at the high-school's career day, embarrassing the PTA mums, and Rory helps Lane dye her hair purple to assert her independence.

Lorelei is stunned to hear Rory's plans for the future and turns to Richard and Emily for help, but soon realises that Luke is the only person she can trust.

After Rory makes love with her former boyfriend, Dean who is married, she argues bitterly with Lorelai, who is disappointed by her daughter's choices.

Rory admits to Lorelai that she complicated her relationship with Dean. Lorelai gives Dean a letter from Rory, but Dean's wife, Lindsay, finds the letter and makes Dean move out of the house.

When Zack finally works up the courage to ask Mrs Kim for permission to marry Lane, he is surprised at the deal she makes with him.

Lorelai offers to help Christopher out by babysitting his three-year-old daughter, Gigi, and is horrified by the toddler's terrible behaviour.
