BRAN’S WHEN CALLS THE SEASON (SEASON 13 EPISODE 12) SYNOPSIS

LJ is all mopey because of the tree situation, but all is ok. It's Harvest Fest day!

Angela surprised the family by coming home…again, Harvest Fest.

Gwen is about to head home, so she surprised Rosemary by wearing a dress.

That's right - Benson Hill families are leaving after the Harvest Fest. The kids are super bummed to go home.

Nathan tells Bill he's planning on proposing. Bill does him a pep talk. It's time! From Bill's lips, to God's ears.

So he goes to find Elizabeth asap. He had something to ask her.

Lucas literally bumps into Edie. She's here to make sure everyone gets home safe. They catch up and Lucas asks if they can get tea when he travels through town. She says I'll be in New York all winter. He asks when she'll get back. She isn't quite sure.

The question Nathan has is not "will you marry me". It's "can LJ climb to the top of the water tower". He does it.

This inspires Elizabeth to ask the school kids to think through what they've gained from this crazy semester.

Minnie's Cafe is official. They got a sign to prove it. Naturally, photographer Gowen is there to photograph the moment.

At the Harvest Fest, magician Lucas is back at it.

After his act, he tells everyone he's stepping down as governor at the end of his term. He endorses Mayor Hickam who seems unaware she was even running.

This leads to a conversation between Lucas and Edie. He calls her his north star. She's like but I'm gonna be traveling. He asks if she'd need help in New York. And they finally kisssssss.

Lee and Rosemary say goodbye to Gwen and she gives them gifts as a thank you.

And then all the Benson Hill folks head back home.

Angela and Allie are hanging out and Angela points out that it's clear that she and Ollie are both into each other. Allie just smiles.

It's proposal time! He was gonna just pop the question while walking but she insists on climbing to the top of the water tower. He proposes and she kinda says yes.

Finally, the episode ends with a car pulling up and who gets out? Abigail and she says it's good to be home.

BRAN’S GILMORE GIRLS (SEASON 1 EPISODE 18) SYNOPSIS

It's Friday night and there's just nothing to talk about. Richard shows up late but with good news - his mom is coming into town! Emily immediately begins to freak out. She does not like the original Lorelai.

At school, things are weird between Rory and Tristan. She's still not over Dean so she encourages Tristan to give Paris a shot. She's different than the normal girls he dates, which will be good for him.

At Friday night dinner, Trix is there - the name Richard calls his mom. She makes Emily's life absolutely miserable and it's hilarious. She asks them to come back tomorrow so that she can make them some actual good food from Europe. Rory is busy with school but Lorelai is in.

The next day, Rory gets together with folks from school to work on her class project. When Tristan shows up, he pulls Paris aside to ask her out. Paris is pumped!

Paris comes over before the date, freaking out, not sure what to wear. She helps her and sends her on her way.

At the European dinner, Trix tells Lorelai that she wants to give Rory her inheritance now so that she can pay for Chilton herself. Lorelai is blown away by this and Emily is freaking out immediately.

The next day, Paris comes in feeling very happy. The date went well. But when she goes to talk to Tristan, he says they should just be friends. But he's glad that he listened to Rory and asked her out. Well, this is how Paris finds out that this was all Rory's idea and she goes to yell at her. She's not a charity case!

Lorelai goes to have tea with her mom and Trix. While waiting for Trix, they argue about the money and Trix overhears this. She tells Lorelai she can't trust her with the money so the deal is off the table.

The episode ends with Lorelai telling Rory she lost her a quarter of a million dollars.

He gets the gig and gets to work. While fixing a fan in the pottery room, he finds a phone that was left behind. He discovers it's Tee's phone and finds out he should bring it to her mom's shop. Her mom tells him where she is - pitching her art to this guy that can help make her art dreams come true. This guy says she's good but doesn't see any of "her" in the pieces. Just then, Will shows up with her phone and they get to talking and walking. They're hitting it off.

She gets home and talks to her mom about what the guy said. They're drinking tea out of a teapot - the only pot her mom has from home. That gets Tee to thinking - maybe she should learn about that type of pottery and go with that.

BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS

It's 1988 and young Peter Quill is having a tough go of it but at least he has his music. His mom is sick and she ends up passing away. He's real sad and runs out of the hospital into a foggy field. Unfortunately for him, the hits keep coming and he's abducted by an alien ship.

26 years later, we're on the planet of Morag. We see a dude with a mask of glowing red eyes walking around. He uses this device to see what used to be on the planet. He takes his mask off and we see it's Peter all grown up, still a big fan of music. He tries to steal this orb thing but is taken by guys. Ultimately, he's able to escape, orb in hand.

Yondu, the guy who abducted Peter way back when, finds out that Peter stole the orb and puts a bounty out for him.

Bad guy Ronan also finds out the orb was taken and sends an assassin named Gamora after him.

But that's not allllll - bounty hunters Rocket (a raccoon) and Groot (a tree) see him and decide to go after him when they find out how much his bounty is worth.

Peter tries to sell the orb but it doesn't work. Gamora is waiting for him as he walks out and takes the orb. A fight breaks out which is a good time for Rocket and Groot to jump in on the fight.

They all end up getting arrested. While in prison, they meet a guy named Drax who is known for killing associates of Ronan, so he's got his sights on Gamora. Peter stops him from killing her by hatching an idea - let her take you to Ronan to kill him. Gamora explains that she's actually betrayed Ronan and intended to sell the orb. Together, they're able to escape.

We then see Ronan talking to Gamora's dad, Thanos, about her betrayal. He sends his other daughter (who he loves less), Nebula, to go get her back.

So they take the orb to a dude who can open it. Turns out, inside is the Infinity Stone. So that's not great.

Nebula shows up and destroys Gamora's ship while Ronan's fighters capture the Orb. Peter sees Gamora out there floating in space about to die. So he goes out there and gives her his helmet so that he can pull her back into his ship.

So, Peter & Co. know that facing Ronan will not turn out well but that they cannot let him use the Infinity Stone. So they need to hatch a plan.

Speaking of which, Ronan puts the Stone in his warhammer, taking its power for himself. Nebula, hating her dad, agrees to team up with him.

So the squad decides to team up with Yondu and co. to stop Ronan. Ronan pulls up and just starts absolutely wrecking their fleet like it's nothing. Inside the ship, Drax gets his revenge moment, Gamora and Nebula have their sister fight, and everyone quickly realizes… oh no, we are in over our heads.

Peter decides the best way to stop him is… a dance-off distraction which gives Drax and Rocket just enough time to destroy Ronan's hammer.

Peter grabs the Infinity Stone, which should absolutely kill him—but plot twist! His friends grab onto him, they all share the power of friendship, and together they vaporize Ronan.

The group officially becomes the Guardians of the Galaxy, their records get wiped clean, and Quill learns he's only half human which is why the Infinity Stone didn't kill him.

Finally, Peter opens the last gift from his mom: a new mixtape.
