Lorelai must ask her estranged parents for financial help when her daughter, Rory, is accepted into a prestigious prep school.

Car trouble strands Jess in Stars Hollow; Jess walks away from Rory over and over again, then makes a startling confession; at a charity dinner, Emily asks Lorelai and Jason to pretend to be lovey-dovey.

When Luke agrees to build sets for the elementary school's production of "Fiddler on the Roof," he knows that Lorelai is the costume designer and hopes that their paths will cross.

All of Stars Hollow turns out for Liz's (Kathleen Wilhoite) Renaissance-themed wedding; Jess walks Liz down the aisle, and Lorelai and Luke share a romantic dance, after which Luke asks Lorelai out on a date.
