Lorelai Gilmore on "Gilmore Girls," either way you look at it

MOM

Think of Lorelai's dual role in the show—she's not just a parent but also a child to her own mother, Emily. This word describes both relationships at once.

This clue plays on Lorelai Gilmore’s dual role in Gilmore Girls—she’s both a mom to Rory and a daughter to Emily, making her a "mom" from either perspective. The phrase "either way you look at it" hints at this double meaning, reinforcing that "mom" fits whether you see her as a parent or a child. It’s a clever nod to the show’s central family dynamic.
