Unlike other TV dramas, Gilmore Girls doesn't feature many big secrets or wild moments. The tone is light-hearted and humorous, and Luke's Diner and Friday Night Dinners are where most of the major action takes place. The characters make mistakes but they don't treat each other particularly badly... at least not on purpose.
There are some moments, however, when the characters hurt each other's feelings so much that it leads to a giant argument. These betrayals stand out since the rest of the show is about old-fashioned pop culture references, a fast-talking mother and daughter, and drinking lots of coffee.
10 When Rory Asked Emily And Richard For Money
Emily and Richard have more money than other characters and the proof is in their beautiful mansion, the many employees Emily has, and the lavish parties that they hosted.
In the season 2 episode "Secrets and Loans," Lorelai had an issue with termites, and Rory asked her grandparents for money. Lorelai felt hurt and betrayed by this, as she wanted financial independence and she didn't want Emily and Richard to think that she couldn't handle anything. But of all the Gilmore Girls betrayals, this one isn't so egregious because Rory was just trying to be nice.
9 When Jason Actually Sued Richard
In the fourth season, Richard and Jason were working together, and when Richard started working with Jason's father Floyd instead, that's when the trouble started.
Lorelai and Jason were seeing each other when Jason decided to sue Richard. This definitely made their romance more complicated. This was a big betrayal, but since Richard's work life was already messy, it doesn't seem quite as bad as some of the other problems the characters dealt with.
8 When Rory Had An Emotional Affair With Jess While Dating Dean
Rory and Jess kissed in the season 2 finale, "I Can't Get Started," and it was a big deal, especially since this event took place at Sookie and Jackson's wedding.
Rory betrayed Dean because they were in a relationship and here she was, kissing someone else, especially someone she had liked for a long time. Rory definitely had an emotional affair with Jess as she had a crush on him and liked that he was smart and sarcastic and read as many books as she did. She didn't treat Dean the way that he deserved.
7 When Rory Became The Editor Of The Yale Daily News
Paris loved being in charge of the Yale Daily News but it was inevitable that the other staff members would kick her out.
Unfortunately for Paris, the students put Rory in charge, and Paris felt so betrayed. Since they were good friends and had been in competition for so long, Paris felt that her worst nightmare had come true: that Rory was better and more intelligent than her and everyone around her knew that to be true.
6 When Lorelai Insulted Richard's Memory At His Funeral
During A Year In The Life, fans learned that Lorelai humiliated Emily at Richard's funeral. Later on, a group was sitting at Emily's house, sharing stories and fond memories of Richard. When it was Lorelai's turn, she didn't really have much to say, and she wasn't able to show the others that she loved her dad and thought he was wonderful.
Emily felt that this was a massive betrayal and couldn't understand why Lorelai didn't have any good memories to talk about. She couldn't see things from Lorelai's perspective, which was that while Richard was a good person, he wasn't always nice to Lorelai.
5 When Christopher Started Paying For Rory's Time At Yale
In the sixth season episode "He's Slippin' 'Em Bread... Dig?" Christopher wanted to pay for Yale, and Lorelai and Rory thought that this was a great idea. It was the least he could do as he had never really been there for his daughter.
This was a huge betrayal for Emily and Richard, however. They loved financing Rory's education and since they weren't part of Rory and Lorelai's lives for so long, they felt that this was the only way to guarantee that they could stay in touch. This betrayal was painful but a situation that couldn't be avoided, as Rory never wanted her grandparents to be burdened by her.
4 When Logan Slept With Other People During His Break From Rory
When TV characters "go on a break," it doesn't usually have a happy ending. In the case of Logan and Rory, she thought that they were just taking a time-out, and he was sure it was the end.
Logan slept with other people during this time and Rory was really upset about it. It's one of the worst betrayals on Gilmore Girls as Rory believed that Logan really loved her. This made her question their relationship and how serious and committed they really were. She also felt insecure since his father often acted like Rory couldn't fit in with their wealthy world, and this seemed like another reminder that she was different.
3 When Sookie Left Lorelai To Run The Dragonfly Inn Alone
Sookie didn't appear much in the revival and it was sad news that she left Lorelai and got a job on Blue Hill Farm. She and Lorelai wanted to be in charge of the Dragonfly Inn together, but Sookie had her sights set on something different.
This is definitely a huge betrayal and seems worse than some of the other decisions that the characters on this popular show have made. Since Sookie and Lorelai are good friends who went into business together, that brings a lot of emotions into the situation and makes the professional personal. Lorelai couldn't help but feel hurt.
2 When Rory And Dean Slept Together While He Was Married
Rory and Dean's affair is a well-known part of Gilmore Girls and Dean definitely betrayed and hurt his wife, Lindsay, by falling back in love with his ex-girlfriend.
For her part, Rory had no good explanation for why she did this. She was already at Yale and should have been meeting new people and having new experiences, not going back to her high school romance and interfering in a marriage.
1 When Rory Dropped Out Of Yale And Moved In With Her Grandparents
The ultimate Gilmore Girls betrayal happened in the season 5 finale with an unexpected storyline that still feels like a gut-punch.
Rory not only stole a yacht and took time off from college, but she betrayed her mother horribly by moving in with Emily and Richard. She always asked her mom for advice and leaned on her. This time, she wanted to break away from Lorelai and do her own thing, refusing to listen to anything her mom had to say. It was strange to see the Gilmore girls taking time apart and it was clear that Lorelai would be heartbroken for a long time.
