  • Gilmore Girls S02E07 “Like Mother, Like Daughter” | Rory Tries to Fit In
    Mar 31 2026

    We just watched Season 2, Episode 7 of Gilmore Girls, and we have so much to say! In this episode, titled "Mother Like Daughter," both Lorelai and Rory find themselves forced out of their comfort zones at Chilton. Rory is labeled a "loner" by the guidance counselor and accidentally pledges herself to the Puffs, while Lorelai gets "yelled at" (or at least scolded) by the Headmaster and ends up running a fashion show for the Booster Club.

    We break down the high-stakes world of private school socializing, our mutual love for Emily Gilmore’s iconic runway moment, and whether or not Luke was actually flirting with a Chilton mom. Plus, we deep-dive into a very important debate: is the Electric Slide actually cool, or is it just as "dumb" as the Macarena?

    Join us for some trivia about the episode's guest stars (including a Seinfeld crossover!) and our latest predictions for the residents of Stars Hollow.
