I am on my 100th rewatch and I've always been annoyed at Lorelai wanting to leave the fancy room and felt that the storyline was unnecessary.

But I just realized that the date represents their respective worlds- Jason took her to a date in his world- we have always known that lorelai feels uncomfortable with anything stuck up and too fancy.

Then she takes him out to get tacos from a drive through but that is not what he wants either.

They end up in the middle- somewhere unexpected but where they are both comfortable.

Maybe this was obvious, but this blew my mind. The writing is so good in this show.
