Plot Outline:
The first snow of the season falls heavily, stranding Rory at Emily and Richard's house and their cook at home, leaving Rory to make dinner and introduce her grandparents to the joys of frozen pizza with extra cheese. Luke is obsessing about the silliness of the re-enactment of the Battle of Stars Hollow in the town square, which basically consisted of twelve men who stood waiting all night for Redcoats who never arrived. He finally relents and makes amends to all by bringing them coffee. Lorelai is enjoying a walk alone in the snow when she comes upon Max, whose car has died in Stars Hollow on the way home from Stamford. She whisks him off for fiesta burgers and the movies, and they have a marvelous time on their first date. Luke gets a very pained expression on his face as he sees them walk through town arm-in-arm and kiss. When they arrive at Lorelai's house, their passionate embraces are interrupted by a distraught Lane, who was waiting there for Rory. Lorelai has a heart-to-heart with Lane, who is afraid she can never go back to school again because she ran her fingers through a cute boy's hair in front of everyone. In the morning, Rory returns home to find Max asleep on the couch and Lane packing up after her overnight stay in Rory's room. Rory apologizes to Lane for not being there for her enough lately, and they vow to spend more time with each other. Lorelai and Rory talk about Lorelai's dating again, and Rory reassures her mother that she wants her to be happy, even though it's still a little strange to her that Lorelai's dating her English teacher.
