Gilmore Girls Warned Us That Rory Would Repeat One Of Lorelai's Biggest Flaws In The Very First Episode

From the very first moments of Gilmore Girls, the groundwork was laid for a striking parallel between mother and daughter in the form of a shared struggle with commitment. While Lorelai's fear manifested in romantic relationships, the Gilmore Girls pilot episode hinted that Rory would grapple with commitment in her way, particularly when faced with significant life changes. This would echo later in Rory’s A Year in the Life story.
