Gilmore Girls

"Face-Off"
Original airdate: February 18, 2003
Directed by Kenny Ortega
Written by John Stephens The Dosey family reunion comes to the Stars Hollow Inn, making Lorelai's and Michel's workday tougher but also providing an audience for the hockey team's big regional semi-finals game. After Lorelai reminds Rory that she's not the kind of girl to sit around waiting for Jess to call, Rory even shows up at the game, giving her the chance to find out that Dean's got a new girl. Lane's also at the game, with her fake, Mrs. Kim-approved date while Dave and the rest of the band sing hymns at a Korean prayer meeting. But after the game, Jess finds Rory and whisks her away to a concert. And maybe a little more. Sparks are also flying at the Gilmore home in Hartford. The eldest Lorelai hasn't ceased giving Emily a hard time since her move into town, but Emily gets some ammunition against her when she catches her kissing a man in the living room. The middle Lorelai convinces Emily to keep it to herself, but she just can't help herself when Gran pushes her a bit too far.
