    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      When Miss Patty is teaching Rory and Dean how to ballroom dance, Loralei makes the comment that, "Nobody puts Baby in a corner." This is a reference to a line said by Patrick Swayze in the movie, Dirty Dancing (1987). Kelly Bishop, who plays Emily Gilmore, played the mother, Marjorie Houseman, in that movie as well.
    • Goofs
      Rory is supposedly wearing the dress that Lorelai would have worn to her own debutante ball. However, the dress she wears looks nothing like either the one we see Lorelai wearing in a picture in episode 1.8 or the one Lorelai wears in a flashback in episode 3.13.
    • Quotes

      Lorelai Gilmore: [to Emily and Richard] Are you two completely out of your minds? There's a ceremony going on in there! Young girls in ugly dresses and stupid fans are parading around in circles for god knows what reason, and you two are ruining it!
