EPISODE GUIDE All about the episodes Adam guest-starred in
APPLICATION ANXIETY (October 8, 2002)
In this episode, Adam shows up in Stars Hollow and first meets Lane, who's utterly smitten with him (and who wouldn't be?). He admits to being sort of an "audio geek" and Lane tells him she loves him. No wait, she loves him for that. Yes...

ONE'S GOT CLASS AND THE OTHER ONE DYES (October 15, 2002)
Band practice: Lane and Co. are doing a cover of the Clash’s “London Calling.” But something is missing. And that something is the fact that they are so NOT rocking out. The music just ain’t loud enough. That’s because they are practicing in the music shop. Sure, it’s free rehearsal space but they have to be so quiet it’s not really work it. See, Mrs. Kim has freaky-deaky super hearing powers and can spot non-Christian music miles and miles away. Lane is terrified she’ll hear they’re rebellious devil music. But the boys in the band are fed up with keeping quiet. So they suggest renting a studio in Hartford. Hartford? Lane can’t go to Hartford. She’ll never be able to do that! She starts to officially freak out, so Dave drags her outside to talk some sense into her. He really wants her to stay in the band. It’s working so well. So she’s got to find a way to sneak off to Hartford two or three nights a week. Yeah, right. And while she’s at it, she can learn quantum physics or Sanskrit too. After making their purchase, Lane and Rory go to Lane’s place and begin the great transformation. Rory begins with the bleach but it stings Lane’s head like crazy. Lane tries to distract herself but the pain is overwhelming. Her head feels like it’s on fire! What should she do? In a panic, Lane runs around the block. Oh boy. We have a feeling this is going to turn into a major disaster. But it doesn’t…not yet anyway. Lane survives and has a head of blonde hair. Now it’s time for purple. As Rory works, she quizzes Lane on her feelings for Dave. After some denying, Lane admits she’s totally in love with him. She’s never felt this way about anyone before. She gets butterflies in her stomach every time they talk. Lane is so excited. She finally has a first love. Just like what Rory and Dean have. Whoa. That stops Rory in her tracks. She doesn’t let Lane know, but it’s clear to us that maybe Rory’s love for Dean isn’t as great and amazing as it should be. Maybe she doesn’t get butterflies anymore. Rory doesn’t want to acknowledge this of course, so she concentrates on the hair dye and keeps her mouth shut.
