* [[MeddlingParents Floyd Stiles]] pulling the rug out from everyone at a Friday Night Dinner in season four where he reveals that he's [[TheChessmaster suing Richard, that Richard put his pension up for collateral, and that he knew that his son, Jason, and Lorelai were dating]] [[BigBrotherIsWatching because he'd been having them followed by a PI]].

* Meta example: Netflix announced that it has reached a deal with the WB to release a limited series after a 8 year hiatus.

** Richard going ballistic on Staub Hayden - knocking Staub's drink out of his hand, grabbing him by the lapels, and towering over him - for blaming Lorelai for all of Christopher's failures, in season 1, episode 15.

* In Season 5: Luke calling Chris out on never being there for Rory, and that he was more of a father to her.

* [[MeddlingParents Floyd Stiles]] pulling the rug out from everyone at a Friday Night Dinner in season four where he reveals that he's [[TheChessmaster suing Richard, that Richard put his pension up for collateral, and that he knew that his son, Jason, and Lorelai were dating.]] [[BigBrotherIsWatching because he'd been having them followed by a PI]].

* Luke, in his exhaustion and delirium over Lorelai fleeing to California to figure herself out, is swamped with people in the diner because e accidentally gave out the real [=WiFi=] password. Jess, seeing how scarily quiet the diner and how overwhelmed Luke is, just yanks out the router and tosses it to Luke as he leaves, kicking out the moochers in the process.

* Any time Paris dishes out hard truths, it's rather awesome, but a special nod to the ruthless ReasonYouSuckSpeech she lays on Logan after Rory finds out he cheated on her.
-->'''Paris:''' You, Logan Huntzburger, are nothing but a two-bit, spoiled, waste of a trust fund. You offer nothing to women or the world in general. If you were to disappear from the face of the earth tomorrow, the only person that would miss you is your Porsche dealer.

** Funny story: I actually shouted "YASS QUEEN!" at that moment.

** Richard going ballistic on Staub Hayden - knocking Staub's drink out his hand, grabbing him by the lapels, and towering over him - for blaming Lorelai for all of Christopher's failures, in season 1, episode 15.

!!''Gilmore Girls''

* Just as he did in season 6, Jess helps Rory find herself again and find a purpose, after spending the better part of three episodes feeling increasingly unmoored and like a failure.

* Luke, in his exhaustion and delirium over Lorelai fleeing to California to figure herself out, is swamped with people in the diner because in he accidentally gave out the real [=WiFi=] password. Jess, seeing how scarily quiet the diner and how overwhelmed Luke is, just yanks out the router and tosses it to Luke as he leaves, kicking out the moochers in the process.

* Emily's CharacterDevelopment. She has to struggle with her husband's death, but not only she finds her way out, but she radically changes her life, seeking a career for her personal satisfaction, ditches her snobby socialite friends and takes ''her maid's entire family in her house''. This last one is especially surprising as she had the nasty habit of firing one maid for week!

* Lorelai reenacts the ending of Season 5 and ends up reinstating Friday Night Dinners. Doubles as CrowningMomentOfFunny.

* Luke's epic TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Jess's deadbeat father in Season 3 is this and a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming.

* Luke's EPIC AnguishedDeclarationOfLove when Lorelai returns from California, laying out ''exactly'' why he is not going to let her go without a fight and why they're the ones who were meant to be together. Doubles as a TearJerker and a CrowningMomentofHeartwarming.

'''Richard:''' (Absolutely furious) You destroyed that girl!

* Luke vs. Christopher finally coming to blows in Season 7...in the town square…amidst all the Christmas decorations...without a single word spoken by either of them...

--> Logan: You should send me a copy.\\

* The judge in Season six sentencing Rory for stealing a boat and giving her a speech about how she respects law and doesn't tolerate rich brats who feel entitled to ignore it. Just after Rory bragged she's going to Yale (despite technically having dropped out) in hope to impress said judge, and her rich grandfather and his lawyer had assured her they had everything under control. And the judge gave her a punishment about five times harsher than they expected.

* After failing to get back with Lorelai after she broke up with him over refusing to elope with her and halfheartedly trying to later, Lorelai admits to drunkenly sleeping with Christopher after breaking up with Luke, Luke drives all the way to Christopher's just to PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE. After everything Chris did in the previous season and what he'd just done, it was immensely satisfying.

-->'''Jess''': You didn't give me that password for ''six months'' and I lived here.

-->"I just thought I’d call and remind you that Logan is lying in a hospital bed with a partially collapsed lung and a whole host of other potentially life-threatening injuries. And I’m figuring a guy like you, surrounded by nothing but a bunch of terrified sycophants might not have someone in his life with the guts to tell him what an incredibly selfish, narcissistic ass he’s being, so I thought I’d jump on in. Swallow your pride, get in your car, and ''come down here and see your son, '''now'''''!"

* Lorelai goes out to California to hike, fails to do so, returns to the nearest coffee place to get coffee, can't get any, and then, confronted with the vista that is rural California, [[spoiler: at last phones her mom with a story about how great her dad could be.]]

* Richard gets his own moment in the same episode as the above: After finding out that Mitchum did indeed destroy Emily and casually brushing it off Richard goes into full on PapaWolf mode, breaking his normal stoic demeanor to call Mitchum out. He then admits Loreli was right to Emily, leading to the above.
-->'''Mitchum:''' It was just business Richard.//
-->'''Richard:''' (Absolutley furious) You destroyed that girl!//

--> Logan: "You should send me a copy." [Of his book]
--> Jess: "Sure, where do I send it? The blonde dick at Yale?"

--> Jess: This isn't you! This! You going out with this jerk, with the Porsche! We made fun of guys like this!
--> Rory: You caught him on a bad night.
--> Jess: This isn't about him! Okay? Screw him! What's going on with you? This isn't you, Rory. You know it isn't. What's going on?
--> Rory: I don't know... I don't know.
--> Viewers: FINALLY!
