    Storyline

    Edit

    Edit
    • Trivia
      After being told by Sookie that Jackson wants to have 4 kids in 4 years, which Sookie doesn't want, Lorelei compares the kids to a fruit bowl given to them by Jackson's mother by saying "You can't stick 4 kids in the attic and just pull them out at Christmas". This is similar to the premise of the 1979 gothic novel 'Flowers in the Attic', which follows the lives of 4 young children kept locked in an attic for several years by their mother and grandmother.
    • Goofs
      Before Lorelai's shoe breaks, and the board reads 6 couples remaining the guy in green and girl in the blue dress are eliminated when the man falls over. After, when Rory is dancing with Dean, the board still reads 6 remaining and the couple previously eliminated can be seen in the background.

    Loads of Fun!
    The best "Gilmore Girls" episodes are always the ones featuring Stars Hollow celebrations. This time it's the town Dance-A-Thon. The set decor and costumes are particularly well-done. All the town characters and their idiosyncratic quirks are well-framed. Loads of fun with some nice twists and turns (pun intended).
