Lorelai Gilmore’s daughter Rory returns home to troll her and actually decides to write a book basically about how weird her mother is.  Subsequently, Lorelai is bamboozled into therapy with her own mother Emily Gilmore after her father passes.

Lorelai and Luke finally marry one another, while Rory has been impregnated by her paramour, whom is engaged to a french heiress.
