In this episode of So There’s This Episode…, Emily and Alyssa tackle Gilmore Girls Season 1, Episode 2, The Lorelais' First Day at Chilton. Big changes are happening—both in Stars Hollow and on the podcast! The sisters announce their switch to longer-form content, saying goodbye to splitting episodes into shorter segments. This means more banter, more deep dives, and even more of the unfiltered sisterly fun you love, all in one sitting.

As they dig into this episode, they cover everything from Lorelai’s iconic (and embarrassing) outfit choice to Rory’s rocky start at Chilton. They dish on Emily Gilmore’s relentless meddling, and, of course, Paris’s unforgettable first impression. Packed with witty hot takes, heartfelt moments, and plenty of laughs, this extended episode gives you more of the couch-side commentary you’ve been craving. Pour yourself an extra-large cup of coffee—this one’s worth savoring!
