(Gilmore Girls fan site)Episode 106
Emily serves pudding at Friday night dinner, a food she normally would not be caught dead within fifteen feet of. What’s stranger, she served it because she knew Lorelai and Rory like pudding. Lorelai is overwhelmed that her mother actually noted that she liked something and acted on that information. So when Emily asks Lorelai to help her shop for a present for Rory’s sixteenth birthday, Lorelai agrees.
Meanwhile, Emily insists that the girls come to Friday night dinner on Rory’s birthday. This forces them to reschedule Rory’s Star’s Hollow birthday bash for the following night. The full impact of this dawns on Rory only after she accidentally discovers that all of the kids at school have invitations to the birthday party Emily is throwing on Friday night. These are kids who look down on her and whom she hates to be around. But she doesn’t want to tell her mother, because of the good relationship Lorelai is finally starting to enjoy with her mother. All because of the pudding.
All hell breaks loose Friday night, amongst myriad guests, when Rory finally snaps and Lorelai learns that Emily never asked if it was alright to invite these kids.
