BRAN’S GILMORE GIRLS (SEASON 2 EPISODE 16) SYNOPSIS

We start at Luke's where some serious renovations are going on. Lorelai and Rory show up and Lorelai gets a call from her mom. She tricks her into agreeing to go to a spa weekend together. But Lorelai is on the case - she plans all their spa appointments to happen at separate times. Naturally, Emily picks her up in a limo.

Paris is looking for someone to study with this weekend. Rory says I have big plans.

When Emily and Lorelai arrive, Lorelai is shocked that the schedule has been changed. Emily explains she called to make sure they could do everything together!

Rory is making out with Dean. He asks if he can come over since her mom is gone and Rory says no. She wants to be alone tonight. He's confused but what else is new.

Back at the spa, it's impossible to relax with Emily around.

Paris crashes Rory's night alone. Rory agrees to study with her for 1 hour.

Lorelai convinces Emily to leave the spa with her and go get a steak. Rebels!

Jess comes over with a care package from Luke's. They do some flirty banter and he takes his jacket off to get comfy. He's shocked to see that Paris is there. She invites Paris to stay which bums him out.

Lorelai and Emily end up having to sit at the bar - very unlike Emily. But Emily is loving it.

Back at the house, Paris and Jess are arguing about books when Dean calls - he says he's on his way but will only stay a minute. She begs him not to come. She says Paris is here. Don't come. He's like I'll just be a sec. So she begs Jess to leave before he gets there. Of course, Dean is already there. He's real mad. Jess is like I really was just dropping food off. Paris, picking up on the tension, takes the blame. She says she invited Jess over. They kind of make up but he says he's still gonna leave and she kisses him.

She goes to thank Paris. She says you helped me tonight, I helped you. She goes to leave but Rory encourages her to spend the night, like friends. Paris is pumped.

Back at dinner, a hot older man comes over to hit on Emily. He asks her to dance and Lorelai encourages her to get out there. One fast dance turns to a slow dance. She gets uncomfortable and leaves and takes it out on Lorelai.

When they get back to the spa, Emily asks why they can't have what she and Rory have. She says me and Rory are best friends. She then says why don't we steal the robes. It'll be a thing we did together and they do it!

The episode ends at Luke's the next morning. Rory goes to thank Luke for the care package which he knows nothing about. She starts talking to Jess, giving him a hard time. Dean is watching through the window. Lorelai comes to talk to him and he's like Rory wouldn't lie, right? And she says Rory wouldn't lie and smiles.

BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS

The movie kicks off with a Santa and his elves (in costumes, of course) getting ready to snipe a woman from a long ways away.

12 hours earlier, we're gonna find out how we got in this pickle! We meet Mary. She's pregnant and single and spending Christmas in the woods.

We then meet Jo, who is a US Marshal. Well, she was a US Marshal. She ends up getting fired. But also maybe she's not fired? She is going to find the wife of this fugitive that they just captured. Well, they didn't capture him. A bounty hunter did. But that's neither here nor there.

So Jo gets to Mary's place and Mary is PUMPED to see her because she thinks she's her midwife. Mary realizes that she's not a midwife and Jo tells her who she is. She tries to make a run for it but when she gets outside, the bounty hunters are there. To make matters worse, Mary's husband hired hitmen to kill her.

So Mary & Jo have to work together. They're able to fend off the bounty hunters and the hitmen for a while. The bounty hunter offered Jo $100k to help them but she can't be bought!

Unfortunately for her, her partner can. Turns out, he's been working with the bounty hunters for a while - giving them tips and what not. It all comes out when Jo is on a FaceTime call with her doctor brother who is helping her walk through how to check how far along in labor Mary is. Now her partner is holding her family hostage as the bounty hunter comes in and shoots Jo and takes Mary.

She tracks them down at the nearby airport and calls her boss for backup. Unfortunately, Mary goes into labor and Jo helps deliver the baby. The ex-husband's new boo thang is actually the one who put the hit out, so she ends up taking the baby but it's a fake baby and the plane ends up crashing. Everyone else is safe, YAY!

The movie ends with the original Santa hitman opening his eye. HE'S ALIVE!

BRAN’S PARIS IS ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA (SEASON 1 EPISODES 3) SYNOPSIS

It's time to find out about Chelsea's 2nd what-if. After her time in Ireland, she spent a couple months in a forest in France. She said that she kept up with Colin from Ireland at first, but the messages became more and more sparse. One day, she's down by a river when this guy walks up with a camera and asks if he can take her photo. She says no, she's a mess. He says she looks beautiful. He says I'll come back tomorrow and ask again. Which he did. In fact, he came back every day asking to take her picture. His camera was his most prized possession. He tells her that he's building his portfolio and that she inspires him. She reluctantly agrees. She puts on a dress and he sets up a time when the lighting will be just right. While taking the pictures, he says I can tell that your heart is broken. She opens up about Colin and then opens up about her life and why she's in France. He shows her the pictures and for the first time in her life, she found herself beautiful. The pictures remain between just the two of them. After giving her the picture, they almost kiss but he stops. He's leaving soon. And so is she. But that didn't stop them from getting closer. They keep hanging out, talking about life, going dancing. When it was time to say goodbye, he can't stop himself from kissing her.

Cut to Chelsea telling the story into her phone on what we assume is her wedding day. There's a knock at the door. It's Sebastian and she says "you're not supposed to be up here."

But let's get back to the story. She gets the email about Sebastian being in Paris and wanting to meet. Chelsea encourages her sister to stay in Ireland to go on a date with the bartender.

She tells Jason Knightly that she's on her way back to Paris and he's not upset about it but she won't tell him why she's back in Paris.

Chelsea shows up and finds Sebastian working and he is very successful. He wraps up quickly, pulls her away and immediately kisses her - making up for lost time. They agree to get back together after her meeting. He drops her off at the meeting and Jason Knightly is like that dude doesn't seem Irish.

The meeting goes well and Chelsea and Jason actually work great together in this pitch and have a good time chatting afterwards. He even opens up to her about his life.

When she gets back to the hotel, she sees that Sebastian sent her a $10,000 dress. Jason Knightly is like ok you gotta tell me everything, which she does.

She gets ready for the date and puts on the dress. She is picked up by Sebastian as Jason Knightly watches from the window.

For the date, Sebastian takes her to…his studio to take more pictures of her. She tells him why she's there for work and he says he can put in a good word cuz he knows the CEO of that company.

He says but I need something in return….I want to use your original photos in this exhibition. She says you promised the pictures were just for us. This whole day was just to coerce me into signing those pictures away? He says no. I want you. Think of the power couple we could be. She says but what if I don't sign the pictures away? He says I need you to sign. And she says goodbye and also….the answer is no.

Cut back to the wedding. He says I just need to take pictures of the dress. We find out apparently she made a deal - she'd sign the pictures away in exchange for him photographing her wedding.

Back in Paris, she walks to get some food and of course Jason Knightly is there too. She joins him and they eat together. She says you were right - everyone always wants something, something he said after their meeting earlier. And he says "I can't imagine wanting anything when you're wearing that dress."
