While spending spring break in Florida, Rory (Alexis Bledel) and Paris (Liza Weil) are unexpectedly reunited with their former Chilton classmates Louise Grant (Teal Redmann) and Madeline Lynn (Shelley Cole), both seasoned veterans of the traditional student bash. Back in chilly Stars Hollow, Jason (Christopher Eigeman) surprises Lorelai (Lauren Graham) with a token of his affection, even as Luke (Scott Patterson) is in sight of a final breakup with Nicole. But it's not a friendly breakup -- "breakup" being literally the case when Luke takes revenge upon Nicole's newest sweetie and ends up in jail as a result. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In the third-season finale of Gilmore Girls, Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and Sookie (Melissa McCarthy) make their first tentative moves toward purchasing a new bed-and-breakfast called the Dragonfly Inn -- but they may not be able to afford the place thanks to an unanticipated financial setback. Elsewhere, Chilton Prep valedictorian Rory (Alexis Bledel) delivers a commencement address that will never be forgotten. Richard (Edward Herrmann) and Emily (Kelly Bishop) come through with a graduation gift that proves to be more beneficial to Lorelai than to Rory. And Luke (Scott Patterson) prepares to embark upon an ocean cruise with his lady love Nicole, little suspecting what is in store for both of them! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Jess (Milo Ventimiglia) moves to Venice, CA, to bond with his long-estranged father Jimmy (Rob Estes) -- and to cope with Jimmy's eccentric neighbors. Back in Stars Hollow, Lorelai tries to tell Rory (Alexis Bledel) that Jess is gone and that her college financial aid has been rejected while the two ladies prepare for their European backpacking trip; and Lane (Keiko Agena) tearfully reconciles herself to being shipped off to a conservative college where the boys and girls aren't even allowed to spend free time in the same park. The episode ends with a surprise for Lorelei -- a good one, for a change! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Director Troy Miller follows up the little-seen Mr. Show movie Run Ronnie Run! with this prequel to Dumb and Dumber, the 1994 box-office smash that starred Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels and launched the careers of writer/directors Peter Farrelly and Bobby Farrelly. For the follow-up, we're taken back to 1986 when Lloyd Christmas (Eric Christian Olsen) and Harry Dunne (Derek Richardson) first met while in high school. Dissatisfied with their being stuck in remedial classes, the dense duo sets out to prove that they can attend classes with their peers of normal intelligence. Along the way, they encounter a greedy principal played by Eugene Levy and a friendly janitor played by Luis Guzman who takes Lloyd under his wing. Along with Mimi Rogers as Harry's mom, Mrs. Dunne, Dumb and Dumberer also features performances by Rachel Nichols and Cheri Oteri. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide

While picking up a prescription in Hartford, Lorelei (Lauren Graham) runs into her former fiancé Max Medina (Scott Cohen), and begins to wonder if breaking off their engagement was a good idea. Back in Stars Hollow, Rory (Alexis Bledel) and Paris (Liza Weil) vie for the honor of being keynote speaker at the Chilton Bicentennial, a competition which ends on a discordant note as Paris goes off the deep end (in front of a nationwide TV audience, no less) after getting turned down by Harvard -- which, according to her convoluted logic, is punishment for having sex with her beau Jamie. Also, the viewers find out why Sookie (Melissa McCarthy) is acting so strangely...at the very moment that Sookie finds out herself. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Emily (Kelly Bishop) is upset when her troublesome mother-in-law Trix (Marion Ross) shows up at Richard's (Edward Herrmann) 60th birthday party...especially upon discovering that Trix has rented her house to the rock band Korn. Meanwhile, Rory (Alexis Bledel) tries to persuade Jess (Milo Ventimiglia) to accompany her to Stars Hollow's Winter Carnival, but Jess balks because Dean (Jared Padalecki) might be there -- a contingency that thrusts Rory back into Dean's arms for what seems to be the millionth time. And in her efforts to keep her musical activities secret from her mother, Lane (Keiko Agena) begins her band rehearsals in Lorelai's garage. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Lorelai (Lauren Graham) panics when Alex (Billy Burke) invites her on a fishing trip, compelling Rory (Alexis Bledel) to check out several books on fishing from the library -- and leading to a most unusual dry run for the occasion in the front yard. Meanwhile, Luke (Scott Patterson) and Taylor's (Michael Winters) quarrel over the construction of the soda shop necessitates a visit from Taylor's lawyer Nicole Leahy (Tricia O'Kelley), whose charms are certainly not lost on the normally tactiturn Luke. And in order to attend the prom with Dave (Adam Brody), Lane (Keiko Agena) must adhere to the highly restrictive stipulations (including no dancing!) set down by her ultraconservative mother, Mrs. Kim (Emily Kuroda). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and Rory (Alexis Bledel) are placed in an awkward position when they agree to attend three different Thanksgiving dinners -- and things get even more awkward when they also agree to show up at Emily and Richard's house. The only way out of this social dilemma is to actually consume four dinners within a 24-hour period, beginning with the deep-fried repast at the Kim household. Then it is off to the home of Sookie (Melissa McCarthy) and Jackson (Jackson Douglas), thence to Luke's diner. Finally the ladies arrive at the Elder Gilmores' house -- where Lorelai has a hissy fit upon discovering that Rory has applied to Yale. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
