  • Lane decides to dye her hair. A great one.

    I really liked that it was very Lane focused, plus we saw more of Rory and Lane's friendship. The ,thing with the band is a good idea and should give us some great episodes later on in the show. Lane's panic about practicing was good, as was her tantrum and when she stormed off. Just a matter of time until she gets with Dave.

    Lane dyeing her hair was enjoyable, especially how she was so excited and then when she finally did it, freaked out and dyed it right back to black. Some great scenes throughout, like Rory giving out to Jess's fling Shane. Very enjoyable scene, as was when Shane said that Rory was a freak.

    Lorelai's talk was entertaining, I liked how she acted towards the pta mothers. Luke's amusement was good. Liked when Jess told Luke about his hidden feelings for Lorelai, great scene. I hope that Jess and Rory get together soon! Great episode.moreless

  • Lane dyes her hair purple and Lorelai is invited to make a speech on Rory's old school

    Lane is in a band, she finally joined one last episode and now they practice in the music shop. The only down side is that they can't turn up the volume because of Mrs Kim. Some of the members want out but Dave talks with Lane and she promises to find a way to get to practice in Hartford. She decides to made a stand and with help from Rory she dyes her hair purple!! Only for a fewer minutes, her mother gets home and she backs out. At the end they can call it a victory, she dyed her hair, black but it was dyed.

    Lorelai is invited to speak in Rory's old school and she takes Luke to speak too. She goes first and she started well until the first question. The kids were more interested in the fact that she got pregnant at 16 than in her job. Needless to say that it all went wrong. Later all the PTA mother come to talk to her and accuse her of saying to the kids that it's OK to get pregnant at 16. She fights back of course. It was not her fault the speech ended badly and she doesn't regret having Rory.moreless

    I love the episodes where you see more of Luke and Lorelai bonding. I also loved when Jess called Luke on his feelings for Lorelai. For so long, Luke loved Lorelai without trying to initiate more than friendship. So badly you want him and Lorelai to figure out that they are made for each other. It is so sad we never have that ending for them, the one we all waited 7 years to see.

    Lane wants to defy her mother more and so she first dyes her hair blond then purple, but then she dyes it back right away. She never gets the courage to come clean to her mother that she wants to be a rock and roll chic. Rory helps her dye her hair. It is a cute teenage moment.moreless

  • One of my favorite episodes!

    I love this episode so much! It is definitely one of the funniest Gilmore Girls episodes ever, in my opinion. First, Lane. She dyes her hair and starts to show her feelings for Dave. It is hilarious when she dyes her hair purple, then dyes it back black! And when her and Rory talk...you can tell Rory is starting to like Dean less and like Jess more. Which is ok with me! Also, Rory talking to Jess' girlfriend in the store is really funny.

    Lorelai has to speak infront of a class of 16 year olds - and so does Luke! One of the funniest parts of the episode is when Lorelai is convincing Luke to come and confuses him. They are so hilarious together!

    The class starts pestering Lorelai about having Rory when she was 16, and then the moms ambush her on the streets. Luke is amused by this. Then Luke confronts Jess about shoving a girl in the closet. If you haven't seen this episode, then watch it as soon as possible! You will not be disappointed!moreless

    ADD TRIVIA
    • Notice the scene where Rory is putting the thick white bleach on Lane's hair, and Lane starts freaking out from the pain. The amount of bleach on her head keeps changing and moving around from shot to shot. Edit
    • Rory asks Lane if she mentioned dyeing her hair to the band. But how would Lane have had time to mention it to them? Rory and Lane got the dye, the bleach, and the gloves, and started the dyeing her hair right away. Lane hadn't planned to dye her hair, so there was no way she could have told the band, or Dave. Possible explanation: Lane could have been thinking about doing it for quite a while, which she may have discussed with her band mates. Perhaps something happened at home to push her into action at that moment. Edit
    • When the band is practicing in the music store, Zach gets frustrated with the low volume and he suggests they need a new place to practice. Lane gets upset and Dave pulls her outside to calm her down. As she runs out, she grabs her jacket but outside when she is talking to Dave she doesn't have her jacket. Edit

    • Lorelai: Is your hair blacker? Lane: Uh-oh. Rory: Oh, I wish you hadn't said that. It's not noticeable. Just stay out of bright lighting. Lorelai: What happened? Lane: I dyed my hair, and then I dyed it back, but for a full 30 seconds, I looked like this! (pulls out picture) Lorelai: Whoa! You look cool! You're insane! Lane: I got my sanity back, but I will always have that picture. Edit
    • Rory: Phone. It's Debbie Fincher. Lorelai: Who? Rory: Kathy Fincher's mom, from Stars Hollow High. Lorelai: I remember Kathy. Rory: You met Debbie many times, had many conversations with her at bake sales, school plays, and the PTA. Lorelai: Not ringing a bell. Rory: I used to go swimming at her house all the time. You and Debbie had long chats when you dropped me off. Lorelai: No. Rory: Blonde hair, medium height, drove a Range Rover. Lorelai: Does she also breathe and have toes? Rory: What? Lorelai: Well, narrow it down to less than 8,000 possibilities! Rory: I did with the swimming. Lorelai: I remember the water. Rory: Come on. Blonde hair, medium height. Lorelai: See? Even you can't think of another way to describe her! Edit
    • Rory: Oh, a girl told me once that if your scalp is hurting, drink a 7-Up. It has something to do with the fizz. Lane: The Kim household does not have soft drinks! Rory: Well, what do you have? Lane: Something called salad water, imported from Korea. Trust me, it's nothing like 7-Up! Edit

    • Rory: (about Lane's temporarily-blond hair) Like straw. Lane: I feel like I should be singing If I Only Had a Brain. That's the song the scarecrow sings in the movie The Wizard of Oz. Edit
