Join us as we do a deep dive into one of our all-time favorite episodes: “Rory’s Birthday Parties!” Ebo is traveling, so she isn’t on the pod this week, but she’s here with us in spirit as we talk about why this episode feels like classic Gilmore Girls, and how it develops the relationships between Lorelai, Emily, and Rory. Along the way, we give many (well-deserved) shoutouts to the props team, try to figure out what on earth is in a Shirley Temple Black, and finally get to one of the best moments in the series: when Richard figures out he’s an Autumn. Thank you so much for listening, and happy birthday Rory!
