BRAN’S GILMORE GIRLS (SEASON 1 EPISODE 4 & 5) SYNOPSIS

Rory is excited to get her first paper back from English class and is shocked to find out she got a D. Paris and her groupies give her a hard time. Meanwhile, at the Independence Inn, a review of Sookie’s dinner comes out! It’s a great review, but Sookie isn’t thrilled with the “less than perfect” parts.

Lorelai is bummed by how hard Rory has suddenly been studying, but it all makes sense when Lorelai goes to a meeting for Rory’s AP Lit class and is told by hot teacher Max Medina that Rory got a D. Lorelai goes home fully committed to helping Rory with her studies, and the two stay up all night studying.

But when they wake up… THEY OVERSLEPT.

Rory rushes off to school but ends up getting hit by a deer. By the time she arrives, she’s extremely late. She freaks out when she’s told she’s not allowed to take the test because of it. Lorelai goes to talk to the headmaster and absolutely loses it, while Max is there watching the whole thing and loving every second.

Max later calls and leaves Rory a voicemail explaining ways she can bring her grade up, and also tells Lorelai it was nice seeing her again. That’s why, when they bump into each other later, he shoots his shot and asks Lorelai out. Lorelai says it’s a bad idea… but mentions that she’ll be at a coffee shop at 4:12 if he happens to be there.

Rory bumps into Dean and is extremely nervous around him.

At the coffee shop, Max makes his pitch for why they should go on a date, and Lorelai gives in.

Bad news, guys — Cinnamon, Babette’s cat (and the Gilmores’ neighbor), has passed away. Obviously, they have to throw a wake for the cat, which causes Lorelai to lose track of time and forget about her date. Max shows up anyway, and that’s how Rory finds out her mom was planning to go out with her teacher.

Rory goes off for some pouty-pouty time, and Dean shows up and says, “I notice you run away every time I’m around, so clearly you’re not interested.” Rory finally admits, “I am interested!”

She goes back to talk to her mom, and the two make up.
