Trivia[]

Lane realises she's in love with Zack
Luke and Lorelai's 'rendezvous' once he returns from Maine mirrors Rory and Jess's first proper conversation and kiss following their admitting having feelings for each other.^[3] Both couples-to-be are at Luke's, make up an excuse to leave and meet to be alone, awkwardly and sweetly starting their respective romances.
Lindsay finds out Dean cheated on her and they break up.
