Red Light on the Wedding Night - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: When Lorelai, Max, and Rory are in the diner, just as Luke tells them that he's almost out of the blueberry pancakes and he can't make more, the regular menu which is set upright on the table suddenly becomes the "lunch" menu, and then it's back to the regular menu. This occurs well before Luke even brings Max the lunch menu because Max is taking too long to decide. (00:13:35)

Red Light on the Wedding Night - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: When Lorelai, Rory and Max are having breakfast at Luke's, their coffee cups change from red to blue in one shot. Also Max's coffee cup goes back and forth from the left side of his paper to the right. (00:14:50)

The Road Trip to Harvard - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When Lorelai returns to Stars Hollow she goes to Luke's, and as she takes a seat at the counter there's a glass domed cake platter (with what looks like pie) at the end of the counter, which promptly vanishes in the following shots. Also, the blue box of wax paper sheets moves to the opposite side of the hot cups on the counter, between shots. (00:37:55)

The Road Trip to Harvard - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When Luke offers Lorelai coffee, Luke grabs two paper hot cups, but the camera angle shifts and he is holding only one cup, then the angle shifts again and he is back to having two cups while he proceeds to pour the coffee. (00:38:10)

Nick & Nora/Sid & Nancy - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: During dinner, when Jess takes the beer from the fridge he walks out the kitchen's back door which has a lattice wall on the porch, and when Lorelai opens the same door, in the next exterior shot she's walking out the side living room door, onto the porch. (00:26:20)

Presenting Lorelai Gilmore - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: During the presenter's introductions at the start of the ball, there's a shot of Lorelai from behind while she's seated alone at the table and we see the glistening necklace around her neck, but in the following shot facing Lorelai as she turns her head toward her parents the necklace has vanished, then she gets up and as Lorelai walks toward Emily and Richard the necklace has reappeared. (00:31:25)

Presenting Lorelai Gilmore - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: When Lorelai calls Chris to tell him about Rory's debut, she writes his new number on a gum wrapper. The shot changes to Rory. When it cuts to Lorelai again, she is reading the number from a notebook.

Run Away, Little Boy - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: Lorelei's casual date brings his parents into Luke's and even though the windows are covered and you can't see outside, the cash register is at the wrong end of the counter.

The Bracebridge Dinner - S2-E10

Continuity mistake: When Dean and Clara first arrive at the Inn and are shown talking to Rory, Luke and Jess arrive in the background and Luke removes his jacket. In the next shot his jacket is back on and he removes it again.

Back in the Saddle Again - S2-E18

Continuity mistake: When Lorelai sits down with Dean to discuss how "clingy" he is with Rory, both Lorelai and Dean's hand positions change between shots, specifically whether their fingers are laced, resting normally on the table or raised in the air.

Trivia: In some episodes, Rory speaks Spanish (e.g when she is talking to her grandmother's maid). She speaks very poorly, typical "school-Spanish". This is just acting; Spanish is actually Alexis Bledel's first language. Her mother is from Mexico and her father is from Argentina.

Chosen answer: Lorelai and Christopher get married impulsively in Paris but they get divorced shortly after returning home. I don't know the exact number of days or weeks but they definitely weren't married for more than a couple of months.
