Those Are Strings, Pinocchio is the Season 3 finale of Gilmore Girls.
Synopsis[]
Rory (Alexis Bledel) readies to graduate from Chilton and circumvents Lorelai (Lauren Graham) to make a deal that will ensure her future at Yale and enable her mother to bid on the Dragonfly Inn.

Trivia[]

- In the deleted scenes, Louise mentions that her mother's name is Dolores. Lorelai and Rory visit the now empty Independence Inn and flashbacks are seen of Lorelai as a maid and Rory as a little kid. Lorelai also mentions that they lived at the inn for 10 years.
Errors[]
- In the scene where Lorelai is telling Rory about the money issue her shirt only shows "PEAC" because her sweater is covering the "E" but in the next shot "PEACE" is showing.
