Ep 20. Help Wanted

Lorelai's Inn is struggling and she needs to find a way to make ends meet. She's been working double-shifts every night to try and keep the business alive, but with no luck. Meanwhile, Rory is tasked with writing an article for the school paper about an upcoming job fair. Lorelai convinces Rory to attend the job fair to see if there are any jobs available that could help out at the Inn.

At the job fair, Rory meets a young woman named Louisa who is looking for a job as a maid. Rory recommends her to Lorelai and she is hired on the spot. However, Lorelai soon realizes that Louisa is not what she seems. She is disorganized and not very good at her job, causing more problems than she solves.

Meanwhile, Emily is having her monthly DAR meeting at the Inn and Lorelai is frantic to make sure everything goes smoothly. With Louisa causing more problems than she solves, Lorelai is forced to ask Sookie for help. Sookie takes over the kitchen and makes sure everything is perfect for the DAR meeting.

After the meeting, Lorelai realizes that Sookie is the answer to her problems. She offers Sookie a job as the Inn's new chef and Sookie accepts. With Sookie on board, Lorelai is finally able to take a step back from the day-to-day operations and spend more time with Rory.

In the end, Lorelai learns that sometimes you have to ask for help and that it's okay to admit when you need it. Despite her initial hesitation, she accepts that Sookie is the perfect candidate for the job. Rory also realizes the importance of helping others and using her resources to make a difference. The episode ends on a positive note with the Inn looking brighter than ever and Rory feeling proud of her contribution.

Overall, season 2 episode 20 of Gilmore Girls is a heartwarming and relatable episode about the struggles of running a business and the importance of asking for help.
