Every Season of Gilmore Girls Condensed:

Lorelai needs money, but makes a whole stink about how she'll never take it from her parents.
Lorelai takes money from her parents.

Lorelai and/or Rory date a perfectly nice guy, they have a minor miscommunication or bump in the road, they break up.

Rory desperately needs an adult to help her figure out life, Lorelai insists they are best friends and Rory half-ass tries to figure it out on her own.

Some ordeal with a B character that is much more interesting and charming than Rory or Lorelai.

Coffee.
