Dukes Of Hazzard Episodes Where Jesse Puts Moonshine In The Car?

What did Uncle Jesse drive in Dukes of Hazzard?

Main characters –

• Lucas K. “Luke” Duke ( Tom Wopat ), is the dark-haired, older Duke boy. More mature and rational than his cousin Bo, he is typically the one who thinks of the plan that will get the two out of whatever trouble they have gotten into. Luke wears a checked blue shirt (a plain blue shirt in most, though not all, second-series episodes) and a denim jacket over it in first season and a few later second-season episodes. He is a veteran of the United States Marine Corps and a former boxer. Luke was the first Duke to perform the “hood slide” across the General Lee, which is seen in the opening credits of the show (a shot taken from the second episode, “Daisy’s Song”). According to Wopat the slide was an accident, because his foot got caught on the side of the General Lee when he attempted to jump across the hood; he also caught his arm on the hood’s radio antenna, resulting in such antennas being removed from later versions of the General Lee, However, the “hood slide” quickly proved popular and became a regular staple of the rest of the episodes. The only episode to directly refer to the age difference between Luke and Bo is in the seventh season opener, the “flashback” episode “Happy Birthday, General Lee”, where it is stated that Luke had already been in the Marines while Bo was in his last year at high school. Though Bo and Luke share the CB call sign “Lost Sheep”, in the season one episode “Money to Burn”, Luke refers to himself (singularly) as “Sittin’ Duck”.
• Beauregard “Bo” Duke ( John Schneider ) is the blonde-haired, younger Duke boy. He is more of the “shoot first, ask questions later” type than Luke, and is often the one to get the duo into the various scrapes in which they find themselves, although the character did mature slightly as the series progressed. In the first-season episode “High Octane”, his actual first name is revealed to be Beauregard (as in Confederate General Pierre Beauregard ). Bo is also more likely to have his eye, or heart, distracted by a pretty girl. Bo has a crush on many women in some episodes, which proves to be the Achilles’ heel that leads the Dukes into trouble in several episode plots. Bo usually wears a cream-yellow shirt; for the first two seasons he wears a blue T-shirt underneath (brown in the first episode). This was slowly phased out during the third season. An ex- stock car driver, Bo is the one who drives the General Lee most of the time, with Luke riding shotgun, He and Luke take turns of driving the General Lee in some episodes as they share the car with each other (very early episodes suggest that it belongs solely to him; Luke is said to have a car that Cooter had wrecked shortly prior to the start of the opening episode, “One Armed Bandits”). Bo is known for his rebel yell, ” Yeeeee-haaa, ” which he usually yells when the General Lee is airborne during a jump. The Duke boys share the CB call sign or handle “Lost Sheep”.
• Daisy Duke ( Catherine Bach ) is Bo, Luke, Coy, and Vance’s cousin. She is beautiful, honest, and kind, although she can sometimes be slightly over-trusting and naïve, which has led the Duke family into trouble on a number of occasions. She sometimes aspires to be a songwriter and singer, and at other times, a reporter. She races around Hazzard with her cousins, first in a yellow and black 1974 Plymouth Road Runner (later a 1971 Plymouth Satellite was used) and then, from mid-season 2 on, in her trademark white 1980 Jeep CJ-7, christened Dixie with a golden eagle emblem on the hood (and the name “Dixie” on the hood sides). Daisy works as a waitress at the Boar’s Nest, the local bar and pub owned by Boss Hogg, as part of an agreement with Boss Hogg so that he would give Uncle Jesse and the boys a loan for a lower interest rate so the boys could purchase the entry fee for a race in which they wished to race the General Lee, The arrangement was supposed to be for an indefinite time, but there are several times throughout the series when Hogg fires her. However, he always ends up rehiring her at the end of each episode because of various circumstances. Although Hogg is a nemesis to Daisy and her family, she is friends with Hogg’s wife Lulu. Daisy often uses her charming personality and sex appeal to influence male policemen or henchmen into going easier on other Duke family members and/or cause them to become too distracted to carry out their assigned duties or evil plans. Daisy also utilizes her position at the restaurant to get insider information to help the Dukes in foiling Hogg’s various schemes. She also has the distinction of having her trademark provocatively high-cut jean short shorts named after her: ” daisy dukes “. Her CB handle is “Bo Peep”. Occasionally, the variant of “Country Cousin” is used.
• Jesse Duke ( Denver Pyle ), referred to by just about everyone in Hazzard other than Boss Hogg as “Uncle Jesse”, is the patriarch of the Duke clan, and the father figure to all of the Dukes who stay with him on the Duke farm. Jesse apparently has at least five siblings but no children of his own, and he happily provides for his nephews and niece in the unexplained absence of all of their parents (Gy Waldron, the creator of the show, states on the DVDs that their parents were killed in a car wreck, but it was never mentioned in the show). In the third broadcast episode, “Mary Kaye’s Baby”, Jesse says that he has delivered many babies, including Bo and Luke. Jesse Duke, in his youth, had been a ridgerunner in direct competition with Boss Hogg, whom he always calls “J.D.”. However, while both Boss Hogg and Uncle Jesse would scowl at the mention of the other’s name, the two enjoyed a lifelong “friendship” of sorts, with one helping the other when in desperate need. Jesse educated his nephews against Hogg, and often provides the cousins with inspirational sage advice. Uncle Jesse drives a white 1973 Ford F-100 pickup truck. In the barn, he also has his old moonshine-running car, called Sweet Tillie in its first appearance (in the first-season episode “High Octane”), but referred to as Black Tillie in subsequent appearances. In the second-season episode “Follow That Still” and the sixth-season episode “The Boar’s Nest Bears”, the marriage to, and death of, his wife is mentioned; he also mentions marrying her in the first-season episode “Luke’s Love Story”. His CB handle is “Shepherd”, a reference to his always seeking out and saving his “lost sheep”—Bo and Luke—from their various irresponsible mishaps.
• Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane ( James Best ) is the bumbling and corrupt sheriff of Hazzard County and right-hand man and brother-in-law of its corrupt county administrator, Jefferson Davis “J.D.” Hogg (“Boss Hogg”), whom Rosco calls his “little fat buddy”, “Little Chrome Dome”, “Little Meadow-Muffin”, and several other names. In the early episodes, it is mentioned that Rosco spent the first 20 years of his career as a mostly honest lawman, but after the county voted away his pension, Rosco joined Hogg in an effort to fund his retirement in his last couple of years as sheriff. Early episodes also portray him as a fairly hard-nosed, somewhat darker policeman character, who even shoots a criminal during the first season. As the series progressed and producers recognized how popular it had become with children, Best altered his portrayal into a more bumbling, comical character. By the end of the first season, his origin had been virtually forgotten (and his job as sheriff appeared to become open-ended). Rosco is also the younger brother of Lulu Coltrane Hogg (Boss Hogg’s wife). Rosco frequently initiates car chases with Bo and Luke Duke, but the Duke boys usually elude Rosco by outwitting him, with Rosco typically wrecking his patrol car as a result from which he would nearly always escape unscathed (only two episodes—the fourth season’s “Coltrane vs. Duke” and the sixth season’s “Too Many Roscos”—toy with the concept of him being injured. The first episode has him faking injury so that the Duke boys would lose the General Lee while the latter has Best playing two characters. His normal character, Rosco, is presumed drowned while a criminal that looks like Rosco has a headache). These chases are often the result of Rosco setting up illegal speed traps such as false or changing speed limit signs and various other trickery, which would evolve into being increasingly more cartoonish and far-fetched as the seasons passed. While he enjoys “hot pursuit” he seemingly (Boss Hogg as well) never intends for anyone to get seriously hurt. His middle initial, “P”, was added at the start of the second season, and only one episode (the third season’s “Mrs. Rosco P. Coltrane”, in which he is subjected to a scam marriage) reveals his middle name, “Purvis”. Rosco also has a soft spot for his Basset Hound Flash, introduced at the start of the third season. His radio codename is “Red Dog”. When Best briefly boycotted the show during the mid-second season, he was temporarily replaced by several “one-off” sheriffs, the longest standing being Sheriff Grady Bird, played by Dick Sargent, who appeared in two episodes (“Jude Emery” and “Officer Daisy Duke”).
• Boss Jefferson Davis “J.D.” Hogg ( Sorrell Booke ) is the wealthiest man in Hazzard County and owns most of its property and businesses—whether directly or by holding the mortgages over the land. Usually dressed in an all-white suit, he is the fat, greedy, corrupt county commissioner with visions of grandeur and a voracious appetite for food, who constantly orders Rosco to “Get them Duke boys!” He is also Bo and Luke’s probation officer; when Bo and Luke need to leave Hazzard they always get permission from him. Boss Hogg is also married to (and dominated by) Rosco’s “fat sister” (Lulu Coltrane Hogg), a point that does not always sit well with either Boss Hogg or Rosco; Hogg sometimes claims that Rosco is indebted to him because of it, though his on-screen interactions with Lulu typically show him loving her deeply (and giving in to her stronger personality). In addition to his role as county commissioner, he is also the police commissioner, land commissioner, and bank president. Boss is also the chief of the Hazzard Fire Department and the owner of, or primary mortgage holder on, most of the places in the county, including the Boar’s Nest, Rhubottem’s Store, Cooter’s garage and the Duke farm. It is implied in some episodes that he is the Justice of the Peace, but in others Hazzard relies on a circuit judge. In the episode “Coltrane vs. Duke”, Hogg represents Rosco when he sues the Dukes, implying that he is a licensed attorney. His vehicle is a white 1970 Cadillac Coupe de Ville convertible, with bull horns mounted on the hood. In the first few seasons, he is almost always driven around by a chauffeur, His old moonshine-running car was called The Gray Ghost, Every morning, Boss Hogg would drink coffee and eat raw liver (Booke, a method actor, actually ate the raw liver). Boss Hogg is described in one analysis as “an ineffectual bad guy—hence amusing”.
• Cooter Davenport ( Ben Jones ) is the Hazzard County mechanic, nicknamed “Crazy Cooter” (a ” cooter ” is a large freshwater turtle, common in the southeastern U.S.). In the early episodes, he is a wild man, often breaking the law. By the end of the first season, he has settled down and become an easygoing good ol’ boy. Although not mentioned in the first couple of episodes, by the mid-first season, he owns “Cooter’s Garage” in Hazzard County Square, directly across from the Sheriff’s Department. Cooter is an “honorary Duke”, as he shares the same values and often assists the Dukes in escaping Rosco’s clutches, or helps them to foil Boss Hogg’s schemes. During the second season, Jones left the series for a few episodes due to a dispute over whether the character should be clean-shaven or have a full beard. In his absence, Cooter’s place was filled by several of Cooter’s supposed cousins who were never mentioned before or since. Jones returned when the dispute was solved—Cooter would be clean-shaven (although, for continuity reasons, with the episodes being broadcast in a different order to that which they were filmed, he was not clean-shaven until the third season onwards). Cooter drives a variety of trucks, including Fords, Chevys, and GMCs, His CB handle is “Crazy Cooter” and he often starts his CB transmissions with “Breaker one, Breaker one, I might be crazy but I ain’t dumb, Craaaazy Cooter comin’ atcha, come on.”
• Deputy Enos Strate ( Sonny Shroyer ) is a friend of the Dukes but, while working for Rosco and Boss, he is often forced into pursuing the Dukes and/or arresting them on trumped-up charges. In the early episodes, Enos is shown to be a rather good driver (and respected as such by Bo and Luke) but, by the end of the first season, he is shown to be as incompetent a driver as Rosco. His common catchphrase is “Possum on a gumbush!” When he returns from his stint in Los Angeles, he seems to be able to stand up to Boss and Rosco slightly more, and sometimes refuses to participate in their schemes. In the early episodes, Rosco frequently calls him “jackass”, which soon evolved into the more family-friendly “dipstick” as the show became a hit with younger viewers (though Boss Hogg, who would also use the term “jackass” of Sheriff Rosco, would occasionally return to calling Enos this in later seasons). Enos has a crush on Daisy Duke that she often uses to the Dukes’ advantage in unraveling Hogg and Rosco’s schemes. Enos is very much in love with Daisy, and although Daisy seems to love him back, it is supposedly only as a close friend. In the penultimate episode, “Enos and Daisy’s Wedding”, the two plan on getting married, only to have Enos call it off at the last minute due to an attack of hives, brought on by the excitement of possibly being married to Daisy. Later, in the first reunion movie, Enos and Daisy become a pair again and plan to get married, but this time Daisy backs out at the last minute upon the unexpected sight of her ex-husband.
• Deputy Cletus Hogg ( Rick Hurst ), Boss Hogg’s second cousin twice removed, is generally friendly and dim-witted. Like Enos, Cletus is often forced by Rosco and Hogg to chase the Dukes on trumped up charges. While Cletus is good-hearted, and sometimes resentful of having to treat the Dukes in such a way, he is somewhat more willing to go along with Hogg and Rosco than Enos. Cletus has a crush (though not as bad as Enos’ crush) on Daisy and is even convinced she wants to marry him. Like Enos and Rosco, Cletus frequently ends up landing in a pond when pursuing the Duke boys in a car chase, Cletus makes his first appearance as the driver of a bank truck, part of Hogg’s latest get-rich-quick scheme, in the first-season episode “Money To Burn”, and becomes temporary deputy while Enos is away in the second-season episodes “The Meeting” and “Road Pirates”. Leaving a job at the local junkyard, he becomes permanent deputy in the third season’s “Enos Strate to the Top”. After Enos’ return, the pair both serve as deputies and share the same patrol car until 1997’s reunion movie, Each of the Hazzard County Sheriff’s Department officers drives various mid- to late-1970s Chrysler mid-size B body patrol cars, most often a Dodge Monaco or Plymouth Fury,
• Coy Duke ( Byron Cherry ) is another blonde-haired cousin who moves to Uncle Jesse’s farm along with his cousin Vance after Bo and Luke left Hazzard to join the NASCAR circuit in season 5. Like his cousin Bo, he often drives the General Lee, is a bit wilder than Vance and chases women; he and Vance are only in the first 19 episodes of season 5 and Coy and Vance are in only one episode with their cousins Bo and Luke when they return from the NASCAR circuit. Supposedly, with cousin Vance, Coy had previously lived on the Duke farm until 1976, before the series had started.
• Vance Duke ( Christopher Mayer ), an obvious replacement for Luke, filled the void of a dark-haired Duke on the show. Like Luke, Vance is more the thinker and the planner of the duo, along with being more mature than Coy. He is also a former Merchant Mariner,
• The Balladeer (voice of Waylon Jennings ) sings and plays the Dukes of Hazzard theme song, “Good Ol’ Boys”, and also serves as the show’s narrator. During each episode, he provides an omniscient viewpoint of the situations presented, and regularly interjects comical asides during crucial plot points (often, during a freeze frame of a cliffhanger scene right before a commercial break) and “down home” aphorisms (these freeze-frame cliffhangers were often abridged in showings in some countries, such as the commercial-free BBC in the United Kingdom). After numerous requests from fans to see the Balladeer on-screen, Jennings finally appeared in one episode, the seventh season’s aptly titled “Welcome, Waylon Jennings”, in which he was presented as an old friend of the Dukes.
• Flash (Sandy and others) is a slow-paced Basset Hound and Rosco’s loyal companion, who hates Boss Hogg but loves the Dukes. She first appeared in the first official third-season episode “Enos Strate to the Top” (the two-part third season opener “Carnival of Thrills” was held over from the previous season), although the dog was not formally “introduced” in that episode. Initially referred to as a boy, Flash is later regularly a girl (despite an occasional male reference afterwards). Flash was added at the start of the third season, after James Best suggested to the producers that Rosco have a dog. Rosco doted on Flash, often calling her “Velvet Ears”. Flash was portrayed by several Basset Hounds during the series (distinguishable by different facial colors), the most regular being Sandy. James Best bought a share of Sandy, who was rescued from an animal shelter and was trained by Alvin Mears of Alvin Animal Rentals. Sandy lived to age 14. A stuffed dog named Flush was used for dangerous stunt work in a few episodes.

The pilot episode was to include a barber modeled after Floyd Lawson on The Andy Griffith Show as a regular character, but was eliminated when the final draft of the pilot’s script was written and before the show was cast. When John Schneider auditioned for the role of Bo Duke, he came to the audition in a dilapidated pickup truck, sporting a week-long beard growth, wearing overalls and a white T-shirt with a pack of cigarettes rolled up in a sleeve collar, and carrying a can of beer, trying to look the part.

Were The Dukes of Hazzard moonshiners?

“The Dukes of Hazzard” story originates with a real person: Jerry Elijah Rushing, who began running moonshine at the age of 12 for his uncle. He often was assisted by his brother and female cousin. His stories were the basis the 1975 movie “Moonrunners,” which was the inspiration for “The Dukes of Hazzard.” Producer Gy Waldron conceived the show after seeing that country music accounted for a sixth of all record sales, yet no TV shows were aimed at the country market.

• Sorrell Booke, who played Boss Hogg, was actually a highly intelligent, sophisticated man who spoke five languages fluently.
• He had a great talent for mimicking dialects and based the Boss Hogg voice on South Carolina U.S. Sen.
• Strom Thurmond.
• Booke died of cancer in 1994.
• The show originally planned a very different outfit for Daisy Duke, portrayed by Catherine Bach.

However, she asked if she could bring her own outfit, and showed up wearing very short cutoff jeans and a tied-off shirt. It made her one of the show’s most iconic characters. While filming the pilot episode in Covington, two directors were having lunch when a car drove by and blew a horn that played “Dixie.” They chased down the vehicle, paid the owner $300 for it, and used it as the horn for the General Lee.

Is The Dukes of Hazzard banned?

For more than four decades now, action-comedy series The Dukes of Hazzard has advertised the Confederate flag to retinas of TV-lovers across the world. Now, in the wake of international Black Lives Matter protests against racial injustice, the stars of the CBS show are speaking out in defence of the series’ usage of the controversial imagery. In all but one episode of its seven-season run, between 1979 and 1985, leading duo Luke Duke (portrayed Tom Wopat) and Bo Duke (John Schneider) drove a 1969 Dodge Charger emblazoned with a painting of the Confederate flag on its roof. In 1860, shortly before the American Civil War, 11 states seceded from the U.S.

Later, producers changed his last name from Cochran to one of Greek origin, to Katsopolis, also at the request of Stamos, who is Greek American,

Finally, in the fifth season, it is revealed that Jesse was originally named Hermes, after his great-grandfather, but his mother changed it to Jesse at his request after he entered primary school, as his peers bullied him for his name.

He later works with Joey as co-hosts of an afternoon drive time show on local radio station KFLH called The Rush Hour Renegades, Further along in the series, in season seven’s “Smash Club: The Next Generation”, Jesse becomes the new owner of The Smash Club. Although he was shown to be a sports fan as well as a good athlete in the earlier seasons, it is revealed in later seasons that Jesse hated all sports (especially basketball, as revealed in “Air Jesse” from season eight) and was not very athletic.

Jesse’s main passion is music, and struggles to “hit it big” with his band, Jesse and the Rippers (in the earlier part of the series). However, his increasing responsibilities to his family, radio job, and as owner of a club, lead his band members to kick him out of the band (in the season eight premiere “Comet’s Excellent Adventure”).

In “Making Out is Hard to Do”, he briefly decides to quit being a musician until he has a nightmare in which he appears on Downbeat (a Behind the Music -style show-within-a-dream-sequence) has him dream that his family hates him, Rebecca has divorced him (and moved on with Joey) and Jesse himself was a mechanic, as well as overweight and balding (because of a scalp infection), with Kimmy Gibbler (dressed in the attire of the Married.

When Becky and Danny get fired from Wake Up USA, they try to get their old jobs back but the station only wanted her back to co-host an all women’s talk show.

From heart-to-heart talks to singing her Elvis Presley songs to lull her to sleep, Jesse and Michelle had a one-of-a-kind, unbreakable bond. Image via ABC Behind the scenes, John Stamos didn’t immediately feel that for the Olsen twins, and he even tried to get them fired, During the first few episodes of the show, Mary-Kate and Ashley would cry a lot on the set.

It is known for its signature horn, its police chases, stunts—especially its long jumps—and for having its doors welded shut, leaving the Dukes to climb in and out through the windows.

Lee, general of the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War, It bears a Confederate battle flag on its roof, and also has a horn which plays the first 12 notes of the song ” Dixie “.

Is Luke Jesse’s Uncle?

Rory Gilmore – Alexis Bledel Lorelai “Rory” Gilmore, played by Alexis Bledel, is the only child of Lorelai Gilmore and Christopher Hayden, born on October 8, 1984, at 4:03 a.m. It is evident in the show that Rory and Lorelai share a special bond, and may even be considered best friends.

1. Rory shares her mother’s taste in junk food, coffee, movies, music, and much more.
2. They both exhibit a talent for witty, fast-paced, pop-culture-laden dialogue.
3. Rory spent her childhood in the Independence Inn in Stars Hollow where her mother originally worked as a maid.
4. Lorelai was later able to buy a house in town when Rory was 11, and they remain there throughout the end of the show.

The series pilot indicates that Rory harbors a long-held dream to study at Harvard University, and it is, for this reason, she transfers from Stars Hollow public high school to the prestigious Chilton Academy. She attends Chilton for her sophomore, junior, and senior years of high school.

1. Lorelai is forced to ask her parents for help to pay Chilton’s tuition fees, ending their relative-estrangement since Lorelai moved out when Rory was a baby.
2. Rory grows close to her wealthy grandparents, Emily and Richard, although she also comes into conflict with them periodically.
3. The developing relationship between grandparents and granddaughter is also a source of contention between Rory and Lorelai.

Rory has little contact with her father Christopher Hayden and his family. Before leaving Stars Hollow High School, Rory meets schoolmate Dean Forester, who becomes her first steady boyfriend. Rory and Dean date for two and a half seasons before Dean ends the relationship, alleging she has been attracted to Jess Mariano, the nephew of Luke Danes since he first arrived in Stars Hollow.

As it turns out, he is absolutely correct, as Rory and Jess have a magnetic connection to each other. Rory and Jess date in season three, but trust and communication issues plague the relationship, and it ends when Jess departs for California shortly before Rory graduates from Chilton. During her time at Chilton, Rory becomes engaged in a feud with a close academic rival, Paris Geller.

Though the two later become friends, their relationship remains characterized by a rivalry that continues into their university studies. Rory achieves much academic success and applies to Ivy League universities, Princeton, Harvard, and Yale, She also reluctantly runs for student government with Paris and wins, and writes for the Chilton paper, The Franklin,

After graduating from Chilton as valedictorian, Rory attends Yale University in season four, having decided that the benefits of Yale outweighed her dream of studying at Harvard in season three. Rory majors in English and pursues her interest in journalism; she wants to be a foreign correspondent and her role-model is Christiane Amanpour,

She writes for the Yale Daily News and is its editor towards the end of her studies. Rory later reconnects to now married Dean and they ultimately sleep together. When Lorelai discovers it, Rory leaves for Europe with her grandmother for the summer. Dean separates from Lindsay, his wife, and the pair date during Rory’s sophomore year in season five.

1. While at Yale, Rory makes the acquaintance of Logan Huntzberger and the two embark on a relationship later on.
2. Rory interns at the Stamford Eagle Gazette, one of the newspapers run by Logan’s father, Mitchum Huntzberger.
3. When Mitchum makes upsetting remarks about Rory’s aptitude for journalism, Rory becomes confused and decides to take a year off from Yale, which leads to a heated argument between her and Lorelai.

She moves into her grandparents’ pool house for a long period. Eventually, Rory makes up with Lorelai and goes back to Yale. Rory and Logan cement their relationship despite his post-graduation spell working in London, England, and a failed business endeavor.

• At Rory’s own graduation party, Logan unexpectedly proposes marriage and asks her to move to Palo Alto, California, with him.
• She ultimately declines, suggesting they try to maintain a long-distance relationship.
• She says that she relishes the openness of her life and the opportunities before her: marriage now would limit that.

Logan, however, finds the prospect of “going backwards” in their relationship unappealing and issues the ultimatum that it is “all or nothing”. Rory wordlessly returns his engagement ring and Logan walks away. In the series finale, Rory is offered the opportunity to become a reporter for that magazine and to travel with other journalists covering Barack Obama ‘s presidential campaign and his bid for the Democratic Party nomination, when another reporter drops out at the last moment.

• She accepts and faces the challenge of entering the world of work and leaving her mother behind in Stars Hollow.
• In the revival, she is in a rut professionally and personally.
• She is unhappily dating a young man named Paul and, in a recurring joke, continually forgets to break up with him; at the same time, she is maintaining a covert casual relationship with an engaged Logan and has a one-night stand with an unnamed man in a Wookiee costume.

After a series of professional rejections, she gives up journalism to instead write a Gilmore family history, an idea suggested by Jess. This initially causes tension between her and Lorelai, who does not want her personal history and family conflicts retold for a public audience; Lorelai eventually accepts Rory’s decision to write the book.
