BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS
Alright, here's what you need to know. In 2018, Wade Wilson, aka Deadpool, used a time-travel device to go back and prevent the death of his girlfriend, Vanessa.
He eventually makes his way to the Sacred Timeline, hoping to join the Avengers. Unfortunately for Wade, Happy Hogan turns him down, so he heads back to his own universe.
Six years later, things aren't exactly going great. Wade and Vanessa have broken up, he's retired the Deadpool suit, and he's now selling used cars alongside his friend and former teammate Peter.
During his birthday party, Wade is suddenly taken by the Time Variance Authority - something that obviously needs to exist now - and brought before Mr. Paradox. Paradox explains that the TVA exists outside of time and monitors the Sacred Timeline and the larger multiverse. He offers Wade a chance to leave his universe behind and become part of the Sacred Timeline, but there's a catch: Wade's universe is slowly dying because its "anchor being," Logan, is dead.
Paradox plans to speed up the process with a device called the Time Ripper. Wade isn't exactly thrilled with that plan because he's quite fond of his universe, so he steals Paradox's device that allows him to travel to Logan's grave, hoping he can somehow bring him back to life, Evanescence style. When that doesn't work, Wade starts jumping across the multiverse looking for a different version of Logan, aka Wolverine, who can take Logan's place in his universe.
Eventually, Wade brings one back to the TVA, but Paradox isn't impressed. This Logan is apparently the worst Wolverine in the entire multiverse, and Paradox explains that an anchor being can't simply be replaced. Wade also realizes that Paradox is doing all of this without the approval of his bosses, so Paradox sends Wade and Logan to the Void.
Wade convinces Logan that the TVA might be able to change his past, giving the two of them a reason to work together and escape the Void. Instead, they are captured alongside Johnny Storm, who looks a whole lot like Captain America, and brought before Cassandra Nova, the powerful and extremely unhinged twin sister of Charles Xavier.
Cassandra has made a deal with the TVA to rule the Void, and she quickly proves that she's not someone Wade wants to mess with. She kills Johnny and leaves Wade and Logan to be eaten by a giant smoke creature, but the two manage to escape.
After meeting a couple of Deadpool variants, including Nicepool and Dogpool, Wade and Logan are pointed toward a resistance group fighting against Cassandra. They find this group and Deadpool proposes an alliance and they attack Cassandra. They fight real good but Cassandra ultimately heals herself and sends Wade and Logan back to Earth-10005.
Cassandra learns about the Time Ripper and now wants to use it to destroy every timeline and leave nothing behind except the Void, cuz she's the bad guy in a Marvel movie.
Paradox finally reveals that the Time Ripper can be destroyed, but doing so would require one person to disrupt its power source and sacrifice themselves. Wade and Logan refuse to let the other make that sacrifice, so they do it together. The two of them manage to destroy the Time Ripper, killing Cassandra in the process, and survive via the power of friendship.
Paradox is arrested and Earth-10005 is saved. Logan is allowed to stay in Wade's universe. Wade is reunited with his friends and Logan encourages Wade to finally make things right with Vanessa.

She was planning to skip the graduation but Rory isn't having that. Rory says they should invite Emily and Richard but Lorelai isn't having it. Naturally, Rory is going to honor those wishes, yes? She doesn't. She goes to visit Richard & Emily in person. She gives them tickets and tells them if they want to go and encourage Lorelai, great. If not, that's ok - she doesn't need to know. Lorelai bumps into Luke and they do some awkward small talk.
Lorelai gets a call from Christopher. He says I sent you a basket as a congrats on graduating...you know as friends do.

After an amazing day in the city, it's time for Rory to leave but she clearly doesn't want to go. After she gets on the bus, he asks why she came through the window. She says because you didn't say goodbye. He says goodbye and off he goes. But off she doesn't go. The bus is delayed because of a crash. This is BAD NEWS!
