  • Rory's first kiss and one of the best episodes so far.

    This was a great episode because it shows Rory receive her first kiss from Dean. Not sure how to react, she steals and runs to Lane to tell her the news. Rory doesn't tell Lorelai, and her mom ends up finding out from Lane's mother. Lorelai confronts her daughter and it leads to an unforgettable night watching Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. This episode also shows great character development and the beginning of Rory and Dean's relationship. It also shows how great and laid back Lorelai is and her way of dealing with such a situation. Therefore, this was a pivotal and revealing episode which makes it one of my favorites.moreless

    This was the best episode yet, it was really funny at times and I liked both Rory and Lorelai here. It was interesting to see the first kiss, was believable in the way it happened. Loved how Rory ran straight to Lane's house after, she was so excited. Mrs Kim was funny. I liked there relationship, because you know they both like each other.

    When Lorelai found out, how she handles it was entertaining. Just staring at Rory from a far, in a daze.
    It was hilarious in the shop, when she was spying on Dean, the music in the background, really fitted. more Luke and Lorelai, wonder when they'll get together.

    It was great when Lorelai invited Dean over for a movie, Rory's reaction was realistic and of course, interesting. The semi argument was good, always interesting to see how they resolve there fights. The actual movie night was the highlight, when Sookie turned up, hilarious. Then the tour of the house, Rory's room, so many great moments.

    Lorelai's speech was a highlight also, Dean seems fine though, not bad at all. They needed Lorelai to say something anyway. The 'thank you' after each kiss, good.
    Another really enjoyable episode, this series is getting better.moreless

    Dean gives Rory her first kiss; fearful of her mother's disapproval, Rory decides not to tell Lorelai for a little while; Lorelai gets stressed when she hears about the kiss from Mrs. Kim instead of Rory; Rory freaks out at first when Lorelai invites Dean over to watch videos and eat junk food, but ends up having a good time after all. most teenage girls and girls around her age experience a kiss for the first time which means alot to their love and emotional life which is why most girls would want and choose tp keep it personal and a secret from their parents or parent and rather say that or tell the story to friends and best friends and enjoy the event!!! parents tend to freak out when they find out about it!!moreless

It's Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory! Rory is unprepared for it, but they have a good time. Lane wants to be Rory. Sookie tries to get a peak at Dean.

    ADD TRIVIA
    • Dean explains that he knows a lot about Prince Charming because he has sisters. However, in later episodes we learn that Dean only has one sister, Clara. Possible Explanation: It is never actually stated that Dean has only one sister, Clara is simply the only sister we ever see. Edit
    • When Rory is talking to Lorelai in the kitchen, she is talking loud enough for Dean to hear her but he doesn't seem to notice. Edit
    • The reason Luke was going to Doose's was to get some cream for the diner. However, he led Lorelai out of the store without buying cream first. Edit

    ADD NOTES
    • German episode title: "Ein Kuss mit Folgen", meaning "A Kiss With Consequences". Edit
    • Kelly Bishop (Emily) and Edward Herrmann (Richard) do not appear in this episode. Edit
    • First appearance of Taylor Doose (Michael Winters). Edit

    ADD QUOTES
    • (Lorelai runs into Luke in Doose's) Lorelai: Aah! What are you doing here? Luke: What are you doing here? Lorelai: I asked first! Luke: I ran out of cream. Lorelai: Oh. Uh, me too! Edit
    • Rory:No, it was stupid! And I don't know what I'm doing here, you're sitting here in the kitchen… what kind of chaperone are you? Lorelai: Me? I'm not trying to be a chaperone. I'm trying to be a girlfriend. Rory: Well, switch gears, 'cause I'm freaking out here! Edit
    • Rory: Maybe something's wrong. Maybe something happened to him. Lorelai: Maybe he's just late Miss German train. Edit

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Lorelai: I am gonna be so cool in there you will mistake me for Shaft. Shaft is the 1971 movie which initiated the blaxploitation movies of the early 70s. Costing only 1.1 million to make, it returned that many times over and thus spawned many imitators. In it, Richard Roundtree played John Shaft, a cool, suave black detective the equal of anything he came up against -- one of the first such role models for blacks in mainstream media. The title song, by Isaac Hayes, is also considered a classic. Edit
    • Rory: You'll never get it past Lorelai. She had a bad reaction to Magnolia. She sat there for three hours screaming "I want my life back!".... Magnolia is a longish 1999 movie wherein the writer/director fails to grasp the difference between synchronicity and mere coincidence, and tries to suggest greater meaning in totally unrelated life events of his characters. Edit
    • Lorelai: No. That Lothario over there has wormed his way into my daughter's heart and mouth and for that he must die! Lothario is a character in Nicholas Rowe's 1703 play The Fair Penitent who seduces and betrays the female lead. Edit
