Trivia

In the opening scene Lorelai and Rory are watching the 1975 documentary Grey Gardens (1975), about a mother and daughter both named Edith Beale, paternal aunt and cousin to Jackie Kennedy. The family had been wealthy but fell into decline, and came to the attention of the filmmakers after Jackie and her sister agreed to help renovate the Grey Gardens mansion to keep it from being condemned.

Goofs

When Rory says it's too soon to kiss Jess in front of Doose's Market (because of Dean), Jess says, 'it's not the first time a couple has broken up' to which Rory replies, 'it is for us'. This is untrue; Rory and Dean broke up at the end of S1 Ep16 and didn't get back together until S1 Ep21.
