Thoroughly, exhaustively, perfectly Gilmored.
Either way, I felt pretty sure what my first words would be.
But nope, I’m completely clueless, because those infamous Final Four Words effectively rendered me speechless.

Like I said, I’ve been Gilmored.
So, let’s just jump right into “Fall,” shall we?
Surprisethey’re going with a fall poem on the front cover!
(Um, is Rory hallucinating right now?
Are “I’m going to die” going to be the final four words?)
Jess pays a visit to an obviously flustered and confused Luke at his eerily quiet diner.
(Every patron is busy on their computer.)
Luke emerges from the back, completely covered in flour after breaking a bag of the pantry staple.
Jess makes his uncle sit down for a break and asks him what’s going on.
If you’re talking about Stars Hollow, guy, I wouldn’t hold your breath.
She’s not married or getting divorced, nor is she hooked on heroin or Vicodin.
It all culminates in Rory seeing three mysterious figures standing in the street.
The Life and Death Brigade’s in town for what’s sure to be an epic night!
Colin, Finn, Robert, and Logan roll into Stars Hollow to pay Rory a visit.
Though Logan rented Rory her own room, she opts to spend the night with him.
Didn’t she learn her lesson from the Dean fiasco back in seasons 4 and 5?)
Logan:“You never needed rescuing, Ace.
You know that.”
Rory:“I do now.”
and whisk Rory away.
Sadly, that’s not what happens.
This time, it’s Peter Krause standing there, a.k.a.
Sarah Braverman’s brother, Adam, and Graham’s real-life beau.
A defeated Lorelai walks away and tries to find some coffee, but the Halfway House Cafe is locked.
“I hate nature,” she FINALLY admits, to no one but herself.
She walks up a small hill and is instantly surrounded by beautiful scenery.
Goddammit Lorelai, we have been through too much.
you could’t leave, you just can’t leave!"
Anyway, once Luke finishes, Lorelai calmly tells him they should get married.
“We’ve waited way too long.
She then visits the Nantucket Whaling Museum by herself and seems to fall in love with the place.
that no one can fill his shoes.
While at her grandparents' home, the first three chapters came flying out of her.
If Lorelai still thinks it’s a bad idea or too invasive, Rory won’t finish it.
It’s cleaner, she says.)
(My mouth literally dropped open at this point.)
It died with Richard.”
The entire series wouldn’t have happened without that ask.
Two quick visits from Dean (married with three kids and another on the way!)
I wouldn’t expect anything less of Emily Gilmore, really.
Luke witnesses the exchange and asks his nephew if he’s “over that.”
), when Lorelai says “Reverend Skinner’s up awfully late on Bingo night.”
And with that, she wakes up Rory for an impromptu ceremony in the town square’s gazebo.
Luke and Lorelai waltz, another flawless callback to their season 4 dance at Liz and TJ’s wedding.
Lorelai herself says as much: “It feels right.
It was such a long time getting here…
Sometimes it’s the journey, you know?”
Yeah, Rory knows.
Lorelai:“Yeah?”
Rory:“I’m pregnant.”
Lorelai turns to face her daughter, and the screen cuts to black.
That’s it, folks.
Rory doesn’t “end up” with anybody.
We’re not even sure who the father of her baby is, though I assume it’s Logan.
(It better not be the boring and forgettable Paul!)
Is her book a success?
Does she publish it with Jess' company?
If Loganisthe father, does she tell him about the baby?
So many questions and so little answers.
There’s really only one thing left to do: Bring backGilmore Girlsfor a few more episodes!
Let’s start a petition to Netflix, shall we?
