Episode 5: The Deer Hunters

In this episode of So, There’s This Episode…, Emily and Alyssa break down Gilmore Girls Season 1, Episode 4, The Deer Hunters. Rory’s first Chilton meltdown takes center stage as she scrambles to ace a big test—only to be derailed by, you guessed it, a rogue deer. The sisters dive into the hilarity and heartbreak of Rory’s bad day, Lorelai’s unfiltered support, and Chilton’s pressure-cooker environment.  

Expect heated hot takes on Max Medina’s swoon-worthy but problematic charm, Lorelai’s wardrobe choices, and the iconic “You don’t understand. I got hit by a deer!” meltdown. Plus, Emily and Alyssa debate whether they’d be team Rory’s calm composure or Lorelai’s fiery protectiveness in the principal’s office. With sharp commentary, sibling laughs, and a side of caffeine, this episode will have you rooting for Rory—and maybe even a little for that deer!
