(Gilmore Girls fan site)Episode 309
Rory and Lorelai get roped into four separate Thanksgiving dinners: At the Kims’, at Sookie’s, at Luke’s, and at the elder Gilmores’.
Kirk gets a cat, whom he names Kirk, leading to a host of Cat-Kirk—Human-Kirk jokes. Cat-Kirk does not get along with Human-Kirk. And during the episode Cat-Kirk riddles his human with progressively more numerous and painful scratches.
Mrs. Kim has hired Dave Rygalski to play hymns on guitar at Thanksgiving dinner. She thinks he’s a christian guitarist, since that’s the way he and Lane planned it. Their idea is to make Mrs. Kim like Dave enough to let Lane date him. Meanwhile, Lorelai takes too much tofurkey (turkey made out of tofu), thinking she can slip it into her napkin when Mrs. Kim isn’t looking. But Mrs. Kim never takes her eyes off of Lorelai, who must eat every last piece of her tofurkey.
Sookie agreed to let Jackson cook the Thanksgiving turkey and then freaks out when it turns out he’s going to deep-fry it. Apparently all the rest of the family are males, and Jackson plays showman with his turkey and big, manly fryer. This leaves Sookie by herself to get drunk. After the turkey, they decide to deep-fry other food (and non-food) items in a frightening display of male stupidity.
At Luke’s, Lorelai confronts Rory with the fact that she doesn’t seem comfortable dating Jess. Indeed Rory doesn’t seem comfortable, because she feels like everyone is watching her kissing Jess, after having seen her exclusively with Dean for so long.
The elder Gilmores have four of their friends over for Thanksgiving, along with Lorelai and Rory. During dinner, conversation turns to college applications. Rory reluctantly reveals that she has applied to more schools than just Harvard. In particular, she’s applied to Yale. After the incident that happened several weeks ago, Lorelai is livid, sure that Richard and Emily put Rory up to it. She melts down right in the middle of Thanksgiving dinner, in front of Richard and Emily’s guests.
