The fifth season of Gilmore Girls begins with Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham) still angry over the affair between her daughter Rory (Alexis Bledel) and Rory's married ex-boyfriend Dean (Jared Padalecki). Lorelai has another cross to bear in the form of her parents Richard (Edward Herrmann) and Emily (Kelly Bishop), who have separated and are well on their way to divorce. And if this wasn't enough for Lorelai to worry about, there's the matter of her relationship with her very close friend Luke (Scott Patterson), who has divested himself of his troublesome wife and is hoping to win over Lorelai -- or at least he thinks that is what he wants.
