In the season 4 premiere episode of Gilmore Girls entitled "Ballrooms & Biscotti," the mother-daughter duo of Lorelai and Rory are back in full swing in their quaint town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut. The episode kicks off with Rory returning home after a summer spent interning at the Stamford Eagle Gazette, a dream opportunity for her to gain experience in the field of journalism.

Upon arriving home, she's greeted with a banner congratulating her on her summer achievement and a banner also announcing her 21st birthday. Lorelai, as always, has gone above and beyond in setting up a grand celebration for Rory's milestone birthday, complete with balloons, a giant cake, and gifts.

While the festivities are happening, Rory receives a call from her boyfriend Dean, who has just recently returned from a trip overseas. Dean shares news of his plans to move back to Stars Hollow permanently and apply to college in the area. Despite Rory's excitement about the news, she can't help but feel conflicted about the possibility of Dean moving back to town and potentially disrupting her current relationship with Jess.

Meanwhile, Lorelai is dealing with her own set of problems regarding her relationship with her boyfriend, Jason "Digger" Stiles. Despite their connection and a mutual love for old Hollywood films, Lorelai is hesitant to fully commit to the relationship due to the complicated history between their families.

In the midst of all this, Lorelai discovers that the building she's always admired in the center of town, The Dragonfly Inn, is up for sale. With this newfound opportunity to finally pursue her dream of owning an inn, Lorelai jumps headfirst into making an offer on the property.

As the episode progresses, Rory juggles her feelings for both Dean and Jess while Lorelai goes through with the purchase of The Dragonfly Inn, announcing to a stunned Sookie that they'll soon be business partners. The episode ends with Rory, Lorelai, and friends gathered at a town square dance, reaffirming the deep roots and relationships that bond the town of Stars Hollow together.

"Ballrooms & Biscotti" marks a return to the beloved characters and their idyllic world in Stars Hollow, while also introducing new plot lines and challenges for the Gilmore family. As always, the show's signature fast-paced dialogue, witty banter, and layered character relationships make for an entertaining and heartwarming start to season 4.
