Once they are done looking for the deer, the two bond and head for home. While they walk, Lorelai tries to encourage Rory and tell her that she will be able to make it at Chilton.

On their way home, Rory insists that they stop and look for the deer. She then reenacts Rory's earlier "tantrum" giving the headmaster a good idea of what it is like to mess with a Gilmore. With the mother and daughter pair being so much alike, Lorelai too agrees that it is unfair Rory isn't allowed to take the test. Rory doesn't think that is fair at all and creates such a fuss she is sent to the headmaster's office and her mom is called. This delay causes her to walk into class late and results in her being told she cannot take the test. On her way to Chilton, a deer hits the car (not the car hits the deer) and Rory becomes even more flustered. A "Gilmore panic" arises and Rory runs out the door with the keys to Lorelai's jeep. Together, the two girls spend the rest of the week studying for the big Shakespearean test.įinally the test day is here and they both have overslept. Shocked, she leaves to find and comfort Rory. Meanwhile, Lorelai arrives at a parent-teacher interview and finds out about Rory's bad grade. This immediately depresses Sookie and she initiates a search to find out who the critic was so she can remedy the risotto. A critic recently published a review of the Inn's food that raved about nearly everything on the menu – but Sookie pounces on his use of the word "fine" to describe her risotto. Back at the Independence Inn, things are not going any better. To make things worse, a huge Shakespearean test is announced and Paris starts to gloat about her perfect grade. Rory finds this out when she receives a "D" on an assignment. It is amazing how a bad mark at school can change the course of a week.
