Emily Gilmore is a complicated, often controlling woman who doesn’t usually show a warm-and-fuzzy side. (Especially with her daughter.)

But throughout the Gilmore Girls series, we get glimpses of her softer vulnerability.

Here are 10 times Emily made us cry. Get out your tissues, townies! Jackie and Catherine dig up some of the most poignant moments today.

🔎Remember, this is not a spoiler-free podcast, so everything is on the table!
