Elizabeth is talking to Rosemary and Lee about the schoolhouse situation and she has the idea - to have the students help make the design for the new schoolhouse.

Lucas calls Edie and Edie tells him about her new position. He asks if she could help with the funding issues.

Nathan, Bill and Oliver go out on serious mountie business - searching for the medal, but they still can't find it.

Lee shows up to tell the students that he needs their help designing the new school.

Lucas and Edie talk more about what to do and they get to work on writing up a proposal.

To help LJ learn more about his dad, Elizabeth, Nathan and Allie take LJ to do a scavenger hunt to hear stories about Jack. It all leads to Grandma Charlotte showing up and reading him a letter from his dad.

Allie is talking to Oliver and she asks Oliver to help look through Jack's old case files that she could show to LJ. She shows it to Charlotte and she loves it and asks if she can hold onto it for a little bit.

Lucas and Edie are on the phone again, working on Lucas' proposal when Lucas begins to tell Edie that he regrets how things went the last time they saw each other and wishes he followed his heart. She awkwardly ends the call.

At the schoolhouse, the students present their ideas for the Benson Hills schoolhouse. Rupert and Opal steal the show, open concept and stuff. Lucas loves it and tells them he wants to take the plans to the committee.

At supper, Charlotte shows Allie that she created some illustrations to add to her story. Allie loves them and decides it's time to give the book to LJ. LJ loves the gift and begins reading it aloud right away. Elizabeth and Charlotte tell Allie that they are happy there is another writer in the family.

We're back with some more Gilmore Girls! Join us in this journey on social media - @gilmorethemerrierpod.

Episode 15 - When Rory's father makes an unexpected visit, he awakens long-buried feelings of passion in Lorelai, as well as inspiring anger in Lorelai's parents.

Episode 14 - February 22, 2001 | The WB

Episode 15 - March 1, 2001 | The WB

• Lauren Graham as Lorelai Gilmore
• Alexis Bledel as Rory Gilmore

We kick things off with Dean coming over for movie night. It does not go well because it comes out that Dean wants a woman who will cook for him while watching the Donna Reed show.

At Luke's, Lorelai suggests that he paint the diner. He doesn't like painting. She does and offers to help, so he takes her up on the offer because HE LOVESSSSS HER.

The next day, Rory is asked by Babette to house sit for the night because they just got a new kitten. She agrees and goes to ask Dean to come over but they argue about Donna Reed so that's a no go on the coming over.

Rory has a baby chick that she brings home and asks Lorelai to keep an eye on it while she cat sits. She says ok and then promptly goes to Luke's to start planning the painting. The sparks between these two.

When she gets back home, the chick is gone! She calls Luke and is like come over, a chick is loose. He assumes that means something else, not an actual chick being loose.

He runs over and ends up finding the chick.

Rory decides to make up with Dean by having a Donna Reed night, complete with her making him steak and taters. They have a great night together with Rory playing housekeeper for her boy.

Luke finds the chick and goes to take some trash out at the same time as Dean taking trash out. It's a whole thing.

Lorelai helps Luke get the paint and they set a date to paint. Suddenly, Christopher rolls up on his hog. Oh, who's Christopher? It's Rory's dad and he's going to be staying for a couple days much to Lorelai's chagrin.

That night, he tells Lorelai he thinks he's really close to having his business stuff really take off and he wants to be more a part of Rory's life. Emily catches wind that Christopher is in town, so she wants to have him come over for Friday dinner along with Christopher's parents.

To say that this dinner doesn't go well would be an understatement. Christopher's dad calls Lorelai out in front of everyone and blames her for derailing Christopher's life. Richard kicks them out.

Feeling like her dad finally stood up for her, she goes to thank him. Richard explains he didn't do it for her, it was for the Gilmore name. And they get in a huge argument. She goes out on her bedroom balcony and so does Christopher. Naturally, they roll around on the cement ground.

While all that's happening, Luke is waiting for her at the diner to paint. He's sad. I'm sad. We're all sad.

The next day, she wakes up and remembers she promised Luke. She goes down to apologize and he's clearly hurt. When she gets back to her house, Christopher says he wants to marry her. They argue and she says no. So on his hog he goes.

Rory finds out that she said no to his proposal and she gets kinda sad. She just wants her parents to be married.

She goes to paint Luke's all by herself. They're back to being good.

It's Tuesday, it's a new Hallmark movie. Giddy up!

Hope Morgan sets out to begin a new chapter of her life—fulfilling her childhood dream of running a ranch in the picturesque town of Ruidoso, New Mexico and reviving the beloved Giddy Up Gala.

February 28. 2026 | Hallmark

• Alison Sweeney as Hope Morgan
• Gabriel Hogan as Jack Bennet
• Scott Martin as Tom Grayson
• Stephanie Beran as Lori Bennet

We meet Hope who is dropping her daughter Maggie off at college. She's sad. She's crying. But she's gotta get over it quick because she's moving into her new ranch - Hope's Ranch. She's pumped!

We then meet Jack who is the brother of Hope's best friend, Lori. Lori keeps telling Jack to tell her, tell her, TELL HER WHAT?!

Hope is doing some work on the ranch, moving hay a few feet when a guy shows up. His name is Tom. He's her neighbor and when he finds out she's listening to country music, he's pumped. He's also pumped to find out that she's bringing back the Giddy Up Gala. Bad news though - Inspector Dave shows up and gives her a list of things she needs to do and get signed off on before the Gala.

When she and Tom go out to get some horse feed, she sees Jack and she's not thrilled. They grew up together and definitely had a thing and he's still in love with her. She's like you think you could just move here and buy a place and I'd bump into you and we'd just pick up where we left off?! NO SIR!

She starts working on prep for the Gala, driving around handing out invitations, and having flirty flirty fun times with Tom.

But for reasons I don't understand, she starts letting Jack help out with stuff that needs to get done for the Gala.

Everything is going well until the inspector comes. There are issues. She's freaking out and freaks out on ol' Jack over there.

They end up making out and kissing, just in time for the Giddy Up Gala.
