One of Stars Hollow's kitschiest traditions, the basket bidding event in the original series actually turns out to be a pretty significant point. Jackson tells Sookie he wants to get married (after buying her basket from Kirk for an insane price), Lorelai and Luke have another adorable "ugh come ON you guys!" moment when Lorelai begs him to buy her basket to keep out of the clutches of a Miss Patty set-up, and of course, Jess swoops in and steals Rory's basket away from Dean. If we weren't sure Jess was after Rory before, we are after that painfully awkward bidding war. Everyone wondered which classic Stars Hollow traditions would be reprised in the revival, and it just seemed fitting to call back to one that's so memorable. Only this time, it's Lorelai who does the bidding!
