Gilmore Girls: Birthday/Halloween

October 8, 2017

"Twenty-One is the Loneliest Number" Season 6, Episode 7

This episode takes place during the sad separation era of Gilmore Girls. Rory and Lorelai have been separated for some time, and they both miss each other, especially since Rory's 21st birthday is approaching. Because I'm a good Gilmore Girls fan I know that Rory's birthday is in early October so this episode is set during fall, right before Halloween. There isn't much halloween celebration in the episode, but there is discussion of what the neighborhood will be doing for the holiday. Lorelai wants to put on a mad scientist show for the trick or treaters where she pulls sausages out of Luke's stomach. I like this episode because I like seeing everyone celebrate Rory's birthday. I figured I could classify this as a birthday episode as well. As with most Gilmore Girls episodes, save a few, this is one that you can watch if you're a fan to get you in the spirit, but if you've never watched the show you can probably skip.
