Rory has a difficult time settling in at Chilton, struggling to match the demands of private school and attracting the fury of classmate Paris Geller, her academic rival. Emily and Richard agree to pay for the tuition, although there is a catch that Lorelai and Rory would have Friday night dinners with them. Because of the heavy price tag the private school comes with, Lorelai talks to her wealthy parents, with whom she has not communicated for a long time. Rory is accepted to Chilton, a private school that would get her to her lifelong dream to study at Harvard. One writer later said that the brief given to the writing room at the outset was "This show is about a mother and a daughter who are best friends as well as being mother and daughter, and every conflict and dynamic should ticktack back and forth on that one point." Along with series-long and season-long arcs, Gilmore Girls is also episodic in nature, with mini-plots within each episode - such as town festivals, issues at Lorelai's inn, or school projects of Rory's.
The quirky townspeople of Stars Hollow are a constant presence. Kim repeatedly tries to find Lane a future Korean husband who is medical school-bound, she dates Henry Cho, one of Rory's Chilton classmates, Dave Rygalski, the guitarist in Lane's secret band, and Zach Van Gerbig, the lead singer of the same band whom she later marries. Kim, a very strict, religious, and protective Korean immigrant, Lane struggles to hide her love for rock music and other aspects of pop culture from her mother, including dating. Throughout the series, one of the main characters and Rory's best friend, Lane Kim's love life is followed in addition to those of Lorelai and Rory. The contrasting mother-daughter relationships of Emily/Lorelai and Lorelai/Rory become a defining theme of the show and a lens through which many of the female relationships are viewed. This sets up one of the show's primary, ongoing conflicts: the Gilmore family is forced to face their differences and complicated past, their interactions fueled by these weekly Friday night dinners together. In 2016, the main cast and Sherman-Palladino returned for the four-part miniseries revival Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, which streamed on Netflix and later aired on The CW.ģ0-something single mother Lorelai Gilmore and her intellectual teenage daughter Rory Gilmore as the two women have strong ambitions they try so desperately to achieve: Lorelai wants to own her own inn while Rory wants to attend the prestigious Harvard University while also dealing with Lorelai's appearance-obsessive and very wealthy parents, Emily and Richard Gilmore, who pay for Rory's tuition at an exclusive private school in Hartford, Connecticut.
