Gilmore Girls'lowest-rated episode on IMDb changed how the audience viewed Lorelai, and, by extension, her relationships with Rory and Christopher. Though Lorelai and Rory made plenty of mistakes throughout Gilmore Girls' seven-season run – Rory dropping out of Yale, Lorelai running away from Max Medina without telling him – very few of those mistakes felt vastly out of character for them. In one particular episode, though, Lorelai ignored her gut instinct and what was best for her while disregarding Rory's potential feelings at the same time.
