Sookie (Melissa McCarthy), scatterbrained chef at Independence Inn, is down in the dumps because her famous risotto was given only a lukewarm review in the local newspaper. In a similar vein, overachiever Rory (Alexis Bledel) receives her first-ever D from her new English teacher Max Medina (Scott Cohen). While Sookie will have to resolve her problems herself, Rory can depend upon her mother Lorelai (Lauren Graham) to help her cram for an important exam -- or at least, that's what she thinks until a series of temper tantrums, sparked by an injured deer (!), threaten to end Rory's prep-school career before it even begins.
