BRAN’S GILMORE GIRLS (SEASON 1 EPISODE 18) SYNOPSIS

It's Friday night and there's just nothing to talk about. Richard shows up late but with good news - his mom is coming into town! Emily immediately begins to freak out. She does not like the original Lorelai.

At school, things are weird between Rory and Tristan. She's still not over Dean so she encourages Tristan to give Paris a shot. She's different than the normal girls he dates, which will be good for him.

At Friday night dinner, Trix is there - the name Richard calls his mom. She makes Emily's life absolutely miserable and it's hilarious. She asks them to come back tomorrow so that she can make them some actual good food from Europe. Rory is busy with school but Lorelai is in.

The next day, Rory gets together with folks from school to work on her class project. When Tristan shows up, he pulls Paris aside to ask her out. Paris is pumped!

Paris comes over before the date, freaking out, not sure what to wear. She helps her and sends her on her way.

At the European dinner, Trix tells Lorelai that she wants to give Rory her inheritance now so that she can pay for Chilton herself. Lorelai is blown away by this and Emily is freaking out immediately.

The next day, Paris comes in feeling very happy. The date went well. But when she goes to talk to Tristan, he says they should just be friends. But he's glad that he listened to Rory and asked her out. Well, this is how Paris finds out that this was all Rory's idea and she goes to yell at her. She's not a charity case!

Lorelai goes to have tea with her mom and Trix. While waiting for Trix, they argue about the money and Trix overhears this. She tells Lorelai she can't trust her with the money so the deal is off the table.

The episode ends with Lorelai telling Rory she lost her a quarter of a million dollars.
