BRAN’S GILMORE GIRLS (SEASON 3 EPISODE 1) SYNOPSIS

Lorelai wakes up to the sounds of a TONNNN of alarm clocks. She yells down "you are hilarious!" When she comes down, Luke is down there making breakfast. Why is he at her house making breakfast? THEY KISS! AND SHE'S PREGNANT WITH TWINS! Except womp womp it's a dream. She wakes up and immediately grabs the phone to call Rory and asks her to please come home. She tells her all about her dream. Rory is like oh clearly you're in love with him and want to have his babies. Lorelai is like nope try again. Rory is like ok maybe you're upset about dad and the fact that he's having a baby with another woman. They're talking on the phone because Rory is still in DC but she comes home on Friday. She wakes up and we see that Dean has written her a ton of letters. But she's not writing Dean a letter, she's writing Jess!

Later, Lorelai is over at Sookie & Jackson's. She wants to paint the house but Jackson isn't having it.

Taylor is in a wheelchair thanks to someone leaving a banana on his front porch. The town is busy decorating for the end of summer madness festival and Taylor is PUMPED!!!! Lorelai walks by Luke's and just looks at him and then keeps walking.

Back in DC, we meet a dude named Jamie who is all chummy with Rory & Paris. He wants to get dinner with Paris to "prep" for the debate. Rory is like he just asked you out on a date! Paris wasn't aware and starts freaking out!!!

Meanwhile at the inn, Kirk is there trying to sell his hay skincare product. Lorelai gets a call from her mom and she's upset that Lorelai didn't call her to welcome them home from the vineyard.

Rory is on the phone with Dean. He's very excited to see her. She has to hang up cuz Paris is FREAKING out. After she leaves, Rory gets right back to writing Jess a letter.

So Lorelai hasn't told her parents about Christopher and Emily really wants him to come to dinner.

She goes to pick up Rory from the airport and it's big excitement! She tells her that she got her out of Friday night dinner so that she can hang out with Dean. She doesn't seem thrilled for some reason.

Rory comes home and immediately changes into a dress for some reason. When they make it to the summer festival, she sees Jess making out with a girl and she gets a bit upset much to Lorelai's surprise. Rory tells her about the kiss. Lorelai encourages her to figure out what the heck she wants because she's now officially treating Dean like dirt. Naturally, Dean walks up and Rory kisses him.
