Episode 4 of "Gilmore girls"
s01e04 The Deer Hunters

Max Medina gives Rory the first "D" of her life on an English paper. Paris taunts her non-stop about being a failure and gets Rory very stressed about an upcoming test on Shakespeare that will count for 20% of her English grade. Lorelai spends the week helping Rory study, and they both collapse exhausted at the kitchen table in the early morning hours of the day of the big test. Naturally, they oversleep. In her panic to get to school on time, Rory gets into a car accident -- she gets hit by a deer who runs into Lorelai's car at a stop sign. When she walks into class late, Max tells her that she can't take the test, and Rory has a meltdown, finally giving Paris and Tristan the chewing out they so richly deserve. Lorelai pleads Rory's case with the headmaster to no avail, and has her own meltdown, leaving with a few not-so-well-chosen insults to the headmaster and Chilton. On their way home, Rory insists that they stop and look for the deer to make sure it's all right and Loralei reassures Rory that she will be able to make it at Chilton after all. When they arrive home, Max has left the message that he's talked the headmaster into allowing Rory to do extra credit work to bring up her grade. Sookie gets a rave review in a magazine, but fixates only on the critic's use of the word "fine" to describe her famous risotto. She drives everyone crazy trying to figure out the critic's identity and what went wrong with the rice, finally discovering that the problem was the wine that was served with the dish. She promptly makes up a batch of risotto and arrives at the critic's doorstep, rice and appropriate wine in hand, to receive the kudos she deserves.
