I don’t know about you guys, but I am really excited about the season premiere of Gilmore Girls tonight. For those of you who have never seen it before, but are ready to catch up, here’s a recap of what you need to know:

Lorelai and Rory Gilmore are mother and daughter. Lorelai had Rory when she was sixteen and ran away from her super rich lifestyle to make it on her own. She moved to quirky town called Stars Hollow and started working as a maid for an inn, worked her way up to manager and eventually ended up opening her own inn, The Dragonfly. When Rory was 15 she got into a ritzy private school and Lorelai was forced to borrow money from her estranged parents to pay for the education, under the condition that the girls both come to dinner on Friday nights for the rest of their lives. Rory dated a local named Dean, who was Mr. Sweet All-American boy, but they broke up when Rory met Jess, the typical bad boy. Meanwhile Lorelai went through her fair share of suitors but always had a flirtation with Luke the owner of the local diner (and Jess’ uncle). Jess skipped town one day without saying goodbye and Rory was heartbroken. Rory went to Yale, where she roomed with her high school rival, Paris, and worked for the school paper but was very lonely. She got back together with Dean, who was married, and caused him and his wife to get a divorce. Lorelai started to date Luke (the diner owner), despite the objections of her (super rich) parents, who kept trying to break them up. Rory decided that Dean was boring when she met (super rich) Logan, who was the perfect combination of Mr. All-American and bad boy. Logan’s dad gave Rory and internship at his newspaper and then told her that she sucked, so she got upset and convinced Logan to steal a yacht. They got arrested and Lorelai had to bail them out of jail. Rory told Lorelai she didn’t want to go back to college and Lorelai told her she had to, and asked the (super rich) grandparents to back her up. They stabbed Lorelai in the back and told Rory she could move in with them while she took some time off school. A frustrated Lorelai went to her boyfriend Luke to complain, and he went off on a tirade about getting the original good-girl Rory back and away from all these bad influences, which caused Lorelai to propose to him.

There you have it, 5 years of Gilmore Girls in a nutshell. You’re all ready for tonight. Enjoy!
