List of episodes

The second season of Gilmore Girls, an American dramedy television series, began airing on October 9, 2001 on The WB. The season concluded on May 21, 2002, after 22 episodes. The series was moved from Thursday nights to Tuesday at 8/7c (taking over Buffy the Vampire Slayer's old timeslot after UPN picked it up from The WB), where it aired for the entire season.

On January 15, 2002, The WB announced that the show was renewed for a third season.[1]

Overview

The season opens with Lorelai accepting Max's proposal. However, she calls off the wedding a few days beforehand, realising she doesn't truly love him. Christopher returns with a new girlfriend, Sherry, who he seems ready to settle down with. Both Lorelai and Emily are disappointed that he wasn't ready to settle down with Lorelai, but they remain in friendly contact.

Rory spends the season in a relationship with Dean, while Tristin, the main rival for her affections from the first season, is sent away to military school. Luke's nephew Jess comes to stay with him after getting into trouble at home in New York and his interest in Rory is plain. Jess and Rory are involved in a car accident that destroys the car Dean refurbished for Rory and leaves Rory with a fractured wrist. Despite Rory's protests, the whole town blames Jess, who goes back to New York. The incident causes a rift between Lorelai and Luke.

Richard feels he is being pushed out at work so resigns. He struggles with retirement and eventually opens his own insurance consultancy business. Lane joins the cheerleaders, attempts a romance with Henry and decides she wants to become a drummer. Paris becomes editor of the school newspaper giving her another reason to order Rory about, but slowly they realise they have become friends. Sookie and Jackson become engaged while Michel has a visit from his mother.

In the season finale, Paris and Rory are elected as class president and vice-president, meaning they will have to spend the summer in Washington. Lorelai sleeps with Christopher but their attempt at being a family falters when he hears Sherry is pregnant and goes back to her. Jess returns to town and Rory kisses him even though she is still dating Dean. The season closes with a stricken Lorelai and Rory walking down the aisle as Sookie's bridesmaids.
