There are so many moments on Gilmore Girls that fans always remember, from Lorelai and Luke's first date to when Lorelai receives the good news that Rory is going to Chilton. Over seven seasons plus the Netflix revival, fans get to spend a lot of time with this fun, witty mother-daughter duo. These characters experience good times, struggles, and big changes in their lives (all while drinking lots of coffee, of course).
Gilmore Girls is a pitch-perfect portrayal of high school life and also, at its core, a family story. From Lorelai and Rory's love life to the biggest mistake that Rory has ever made, these storylines are the ones that fans can never forget.
10 Inspired By Wild, Lorelai Leaves And Almost Hikes The PCT
Catching up with Lorelai in the Netflix revival A Year In The Life is tough. While she and Luke are still together, they still haven't had their wedding and that leads Lorelai to go take some time for herself.
One of the most memorable Gilmore Girls storylines is when Lorelai wants to hike the PCT, just like Cheryl Strayed chronicled in her beautiful memoir Wild, which then became a Reese Witherspoon movie. Lorelai doesn't actually get very far, as she comes to terms with the problems in her life. She realizes that she won't ever fully get along with Emily and that's okay, and she knows that she can make it work with Luke. This doesn't stand out as much as the big moments in the first seven seasons, but it still counts.
9 April Tells Luke He's Her Dad
April Nardini is a polarizing character, but no one can argue with the big impact that she makes when she enters the Gilmore Girls world.
When April tells Luke that she's his daughter, everything changes and Luke can't believe the news. While this isn't as dramatic or memorable as Lorelai and Rory's successes and failures, it's still a huge storyline that impacts all of the characters. Lorelai and Luke's love story starts disintegrating and it's unclear whether they can make it through. It's heartbreaking to see Luke not trust Lorelai around April after the years that they spent apart.
8 Sookie And Lorelai Open The Dragonfly Inn
At the end of season 4, Lorelai and Sookie do a test run of their business, the Dragonfly Inn, and it's a storyline fans will never forget.
These best friends finally put their dream into motion, and it's fun to watch them so happy and excited. There are other big changes in this episode, as Lorelai can tell that her parents have bigger problems than she thought, and Rory doesn't want to stop being friends with Dean. The Dragonfly becomes a major player on the show from that moment on. It's Lorelai's passion and it helps her find even more confidence.
7 Lorelai Realizes That Her Wedding To Luke Won't Happen
In the season 6 finale "Partings," Lorelai and Luke's relationship is officially on its last legs, which is so upsetting for fans to watch.
They kept putting their wedding day off because Luke wanted to focus on his relationship with April, but Lorelai can tell that she will never be a priority. This is a memorable storyline as everyone wanted these two to be together and when they finally get their chance, Luke sees April as an obstacle that he can't move around.
6 Rory Learns That Logan Was Unfaithful
Rory's life changes in some awful ways as a result of her relationship with Logan, and it's soul-crushing when she learns that he slept with some of his sister's friends.
Rory and Logan both had different interpretations of the "break" they were on, and Rory hates finding this out. This isn't a storyline that fans can forget about too easily, as it's proof that while these two characters love each other, Logan often does whatever he wants and doesn't think about the consequences. Not everyone thinks that he and Rory are right together, as they are so different.
5 Dean Breaks Up With Rory In Season 1
After many sweet moments, including a kiss at Doose's market, Dean tells Rory that he loves her while they're celebrating their anniversary. Rory is too scared and nervous to say it back, so Dean breaks up with her.
This is a storyline that sticks in fans' minds, as it sets a lot in motion. It makes the town take sides, with Luke livid that Dean broke Rory's heart, and it makes Rory determined to get errands done and forget about her feelings. Gilmore Girls fans love that Lorelai shows Rory how to wallow and face how hurt she is. Eventually, Lorelai figures out that her daughter is terrified of admitting how she feels about Dean, and she helps her see that it's okay to be vulnerable.
4 Lorelai And Emily Get Upset When Rory And Dean Stay Out Late
Another memorable storyline is when Rory and Dean accidentally stay out super late after attending a dance at Chilton. While this would be cause for concern in many homes, as no one wants their teenager to break curfew, this has more meaning for the Gilmore family.
This storyline is one of the first times that viewers learn how bad things are between Emily and Lorelai. Since Lorelai got pregnant in high school, Emily is convinced that history is going to repeat itself. While Lorelai stands up for her daughter, she's incredibly angry, and fans see Lorelai and Rory have their first big on-screen fight, which is tough to watch.
3 Lorelai Calls Off Her Wedding And Leaves Town
Although there are some reasons why Max and Lorelai would never work, it's still shocking that in season 2, Lorelai calls off her wedding and skips town.
Of course, this is exactly the kind of thing that this spunky character would do. She follows her heart and can be very impulsive. Fans consider this one of the most memorable storylines on the show, as even Rory isn't aware of why Lorelai made this decision. It's a perfect Gilmore Girls plot: the mother-daughter duo is having an adventure together while one of them is going through a personal crisis.
2 Rory Stealing A Yacht
Many viewers likely are still scratching their heads over this standout storyline, as Rory never strayed from the journey she was on, and she never thought that rules were made to be broken.
When Rory is convinced that her journalism career is ruined, she makes this uncharacteristic choice, and it changes her life. She has to do community service, she holes up at her grandparents' house, and she stops going to Yale for a while. Fans are still perplexed as to what was going through Rory's head.
1 Lorelai Wearing The Wrong Outfit For Rory's First Day At Chilton
The most memorable storyline on Gilmore Girls is the terrible outfit that Lorelai wears for her daughter's first day.
When Rory sees her mom walking down the stairs of their house, she can't believe that Lorelai is actually serious. A pink tie-dye t-shirt, jean shorts, boots, and a random jacket? Both mother and daughter have a horrible first day, as Lorelai feels awful that she couldn't get her nice outfit from the dry cleaner, and Rory is embarrassed around her new rich classmates. Even Emily is there to witness Lorelai's humiliation, as she knows Headmaster Charleston and wanted to welcome Rory to her new school. This storyline is awkward but a perfect reminder of why fans love the Gilmore girls so much: they feel relatable because they're human, they make mistakes, and they're different from everyone around them — but so much cooler.
