Forget it, Lorelai—it’s the Cheshire Cat.


What does Lorelai need to forget? And why does she need to forget it? Your private detectives Kyla and Taylor are on the case! We look into the movie Chinatown, its references in Gilmore Girls ep 204 (and beyond), and what it means as a symbol for both the movie and the series. We also cover its super creepy director and the true story that inspired the movie.
