Episode 101
Introducing Lorelai Gilmore, her daughter Rory, and the rest of Stars Hollow…
Lorelai and Sookie talk about their dream, to run their own inn.
Rory is accepted into the Chilton School, but Lorelai can’t come up with the enrollment fee. As a last resort, secretly, she asks her estranged parents, Richard and Emily, to loan her the money. They do, but Emily wants to be more involved in the lives of the younger Gilmores. So she has one condition: Lorelai and Rory must come to dinner every Friday night.
Rory meanwhile meets the new boy, Dean, at Stars Hollow High and mysteriously no longer thinks it’s a good idea to go to Chilton.

SOOKIE: Protestants love oatmeal. [Is this anything? What does it allude to? -TimK]
Not positive, but I’m pretty sure it’s talking about Quaker’s oatmeal…Quakers were Protestants…
