The thing is, we don't really even see Rory "come back" from her lowest point, either. That's why I'm not really in favor of the character. She doesn't try to recover, either, and digs herself into a deeper hole by getting pregnant most likely with an engaged man. It's hard to say you recovered/fixed a problem when you won't even admit there is a problem, to begin with.

I mean, people laugh, but even Paris admitted at points when she was wrong or at fault. Then she tried to make things better. People laugh at the fact she got a life coach, but she did it with all seriousness, as well as tried to get herself into therapeautic hobbies (like the crafts table!).

Rory always had this sense of entitlement to her that she was always right and that she was untouchable. Then life hit her with reality: she got pregnant from sleeping around, she is a single mom because she chose to sleep with an ex boyfriend who is also engaged, she has abandoned her dreams because she couldn't take criticism, and she is broke because she hasn't been working.
