    Everything is starting to feel right...

    This is the first episode that everything just started to fall into place.

    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Sean Gunn's third appearance on the show, but his first appearance identifying him by name as Kirk.
    • Goofs
      Kirk, working at Doose's, chides Miss Patty for sampling from the produce section, but clearly is not familiar with who she is. In later seasons, multiple episodes make clear that Miss Patty has known Kirk since he was a child; for example, in one episode late in the series, Kirk performs a modern dance routine at one of Miss Patty's recitals and it is mentioned that he created and performed the routine 25 years before at Miss Patty's studio.
    • Quotes

      Lorelai: I repeat the question, why should we date?

      Max Medina: Because we are clearly attracted to each other.

      Lorelai: Well, I'm attracted to pie, doesn't mean I feel the need to date pie
