Summary

Tara and Haley are thrilled to welcome Sheila R. Lawrence, the first Gilmore Girls writer to join the pod, in this week's episode! Having been in the writers room from Season 2's "Hammers and Veils" through the Season 4 finale, "Raincoats and Recipes", Sheila dishes on her Gilmore journey, joining Amy and Dan after Gilmore on both "Bunheads" and "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel", and the current state of the industry in the midst of the WGA writer's strike. But most importantly, Tara and Haley ask the burning question that's been on everyone's mind since 2003: Was Jess Mariano always meant to break Rory's heart and go to California with or without the spin-off? Stream now to hear her thoughts.
