In this episode of So, There’s This Episode…, Emily and Alyssa dive into Gilmore Girls Season 1, Episode 3, Kill Me Now. The sisters dissect the hilariously tense dynamic between Lorelai and Emily as they clash over Richard taking Rory to the country club. Meanwhile, Rory’s bonding time with her grandfather gives Emily and Alyssa plenty to debate, from etiquette lessons to swan-filled golf courses.

They also take a closer look at Lorelai’s over-the-top reaction to Rory's budding relationship with Richard, Michel’s sass-filled one-liners, and the first glimpse of Sookie’s chaotic genius in the kitchen. As always, the commentary is packed with witty observations, sisterly banter, and hot takes that may just have you questioning your own opinions. So brew another cup, because this episode is as sharp and satisfying as Lorelai’s caffeine-fueled wit!
