BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS

The movie kicks off with a demon chasing a girl named America Chavez. A variant of Doctor Strange shows up searching for the Book of Vishanti. Doctor Strange is killed and America accidentally creates a portal to our Doctor Strange's universe.

While at Christine's wedding, Strange sees a monster attack happening. So he goes and rescues this girl who he remembered from his dream. America explains that the beings are hunting her because she has the power to travel through the multiverse, but is unable to consciously control it.

Doctor Strange goes to talk to Wanda about these demons but realizes that she is actually responsible for the attacks. She acquired the Darkhold and is now going full Scarlet Witch. Wanda believes that taking America's powers and traveling through the multiverse will allow her to reunite with Billy and Tommy, the kids she created.

When Strange refuses to surrender America, Wanda shows up and starts killing sorcerers.

Scared, America accidentally transports the two of them to another Earth. Wanda uses the Darkhold to "dreamwalk", taking control of her Earth-838 counterpart who lives a suburban life with her own Billy and Tommy.

Doctor Strange and America are captured by this Earth's Sorcerer Supreme, Karl Mordo, and brought before the Illuminati, to help decide what to do with them.

They explain that through reckless use of their universe's Darkhold in an attempt to defeat Thanos, Earth-838's Strange triggered a universe-destroying "incursion". After defeating Thanos, the Illuminati executed their Strange to prevent him from causing more harm. So they're finding it hard to trust our Doctor Strange.

Wanda shows up and kills all the Illuminati except Mordo. Doctor Strange helps free America with the help of this Earth's Christine.

The three of them go to find the Book of Vishanti, which holds the secret to free them of the Darkhold, but Wanda appears and destroys it.

She then takes over America's mind and uses her powers to send Doctor Strange and Christine to a universe wasteland.

Our Doctor Strange defeats the destroyed universe's Doctor Strange, who has been corrupted by his Darkhold, and then uses that Darkhold to dreamwalk. With Wong's help, Doctor Strange saves America from Wanda and encourages her to use her abilities.

America goes to find Wanda where she sees Wanda's kids crying for their real mom.

Realizing she goofed, Wanda gives up and uses her powers to bring down all copies of the Darkhold throughout the multiverse and sacrifices herself in the process.

Everyone returns to their own universes except America who stays to train with Doctor Strange who now has a third eye.

We then see Doctor Strange be approached by a mystery person who warns that his actions have triggered an incursion that he must help repair and he follows her into that universe.

BRAN’S GILMORE GIRLS (SEASON 2 EPISODE 15) SYNOPSIS

Lorelai was cleaning her gutters when she hurt her hand. She slapped a Band-Aid on it and refuses to go to the doctor.

They get to Luke’s, but Luke is nowhere to be found. To make matters worse, Caesar is cooking. So Lorelai heads upstairs to check on Luke and encourage him to come down and make them pancakes. The place is a mess because Jess’s mom finally sent the rest of his stuff, and now Luke can’t find his supply ledger. Lorelai finds it and holds it hostage until he comes downstairs to make the pancakes.

That night, Lorelai and Rory are walking to get supplies for movie night. They pass Luke’s and see him sitting there alone, sadly drinking a beer and watching TV on his tiny television. He just needs some space from Jess. Lorelai encourages him to get a bigger apartment, but Luke isn’t having it. Instead, he asks if Jess could clean Lorelai’s gutters for her.

Lorelai doesn’t say yes right away, but on the walk home Rory says, "I thought you were going to give Jess a chance. You should hire him." After a little more guilt-tripping, Lorelai finally agrees.

Then she asks Rory why it’s so important that she like Jess. Rory comes up with an excuse, but Lorelai is wise to her.

Luke heads upstairs and freaks out on Jess over the mess. He shouts, "WE’RE MOVING TOMORROW!"

After looking at apartments, Jess goes to Rory’s to get started on the gutters. Cool-guy Jess flips her a book when she opens the door and comments that her hair is different. Lorelai tries to make small talk with him, but he’s not having it.

When he goes outside, Rory follows him and asks him to try to get along with her mom. He’s like, "Why?" She says, "If you care about me at all, you’ll try."

He replies, "Who says I care about you?"

Classic Jess.

Rory leaves to hang out with Dean at a book fundraiser. Dean is bored out of his mind. He says he wants to go see The Lord of the Rings again, which annoys Rory. Then he notices she isn’t wearing the bracelet he gave her. She lies and says she took it off because of a rash and will put it back on later.

In reality, she lost it... and Jess is holding it hostage.

Lorelai invites Jess downstairs for lunch. At first he says no, but then he remembers what Rory asked him and decides to make an effort. Just then, Rory comes bursting through the door, freaking out because she’s lost the bracelet.

Luke calls Lorelai to complain about the injustices of renting. He says he needs a second opinion and asks her to come look at an apartment with him. She immediately leaves work.

The apartment is really nice. Lorelai tells him, "Even if Jess goes home someday, you’re still going to want this place. What if you meet someone?"

She finally talks him into it... but then they discover the worst possible news: Taylor owns the building.

Luke is immediately out.

Taylor runs after him and says he’s thinking about buying the flower shop next to the diner, but he needs Luke to take down the old hardware store sign because it confuses people.

Luke says, "It was my dad’s. I’m not taking it down," and storms off.

Rory gets home, still upset about losing the bracelet. She talks to Jess about it, and he casually suggests she look in her room one more time. She walks in and immediately finds it under her bed.

There it is.

Lorelai goes outside to pay Jess for the job, but instead accuses him of stealing the bracelet because she caught him leaving Rory’s room about 30 minutes before it mysteriously reappeared.

Jess denies it.

She says, "Don’t 'whatever' me, you little jerk!"—like the uncle in Home Alone. She lectures him, saying that taking the bracelet only hurt Rory because it’s the most precious thing she owns.

Jess fires back, "If it’s the most precious thing she owns, why did it take her two weeks to notice it was gone?"

Yeah... I wouldn’t start calling him "son" just yet.

He storms off.

Luke comes banging on the door, still fuming about Taylor. He reveals that, in a fit of blind rage, he bought the building that houses the diner.

Lorelai tells him that honestly, owning the building isn’t such a bad thing, and she talks him off the ledge.

Before he leaves, she asks Luke if Jess ever talks to him about Rory.

Luke says, "I don't know... but that would be great. She'd be such a good influence on him."

Luke heads home, grabs a sledgehammer, knocks a giant hole through the apartment wall, and tells Jess...

"That’s your room."
