BRAN’S THE WAY HOME (SEASON 4 EPISODE 10) SYNOPSIS

Kat is pulling Elliot to safety. She's like I gotta get you to the pond. Luckily, Alice & Jacob show up in the '20s to help. Jacob helps Elliot jump into the pond. Kat and Alice jump after but the pond takes everyone but Kat.

She goes to the site of the explosion and sees Fern is there. She fears that Cliff is dead.

Back in the present, Sam and Del see the gang show up with a bloody Elliot and call 911.

Fern and Kat go back to her place and she tells Kat that she's pregnant with Cliff's baby. Apparently, they found his hat down there, so we all know what that means.

Fern says she wants to jump. Luckily for her, they go back a day. She goes inside to talk to Cliff. She tells him that she's pregnant and tells him to try not to be a hero tonight. Maybe that'll be enough to keep him from going to the mines.

Fern then opens up to Kat about her brother, how he time traveled and died. Fern isn't gonna time travel anymore. She's gonna raise her child.

Grayson comes over and shows Fern that Lingermore belongs to the Landrys. Fern says burn this deed. The only place the Landrys belong is on this farm.

Apparently, Elliot made it through surgery. Jacob says he's going to jump and hopefully show up in the '20s and tell Kat.

Alice jumps and finds Tessa burying that suitcase and she tells Alice about why she's jumping - she saw that Griff could time travel and she sees it as her way out. Kat and Tessa agree to keep each other's secret safe and Kat is gonna help keep Elliot safe.

Bad news everyone, Jacob jumps and ends up in the 1800's. He goes and catches up with his 1800's family. Papa Landry gives him some free therapy.

Alice jumps again but doesn't go home. She ends up in 1984 and sees Griff. He said he came back to get medicine for Tessa but the pond shut him out. Tough go of it.

Jacob jumps back and makes up with Abby.

Fern and Kat say their goodbyes and Kat jumps. Alice goes to jump when old Fern shows up and says I've always known who you are and you're a hero and they hug.

Kat shows back up to present day and she and Elliot, who is totally fine btw, kiss big ones.

Apparently Nick is coming back to town to try to convince Del to sell the boat. Kat has that reel from Coyle's. They wonder how it ended up back here with that clip split. Alice wonders if Tessa is responsible for it.

Jacob goes to talk to Mr. Goodwin and they call a truce.

Kat has started to write the family history, and tries to figure out why Fern knew about Jacob but the lore never passed down to Colton.

Alice goes outside to talk to Max and he's like YOU WROTE A SONG FOR ME I KNOW IT! She's like kindly shove off. Nick pops out of nowhere and is like hey maybe stop focusing on the past and focus on what's in front of you. She does not do that. Instead, she jumps again and ends up talking to an old Evelyn in a wheelchair watching old reels. Evelyn is not thrilled. She knows that everyone she knows is a time traveler and kept it from her. But she tells Alice that she lived a full life because of her. She traveled and lived a full life because she knew Alice.

Back in the present, KC shows up out of nowhere and is like it's all my fault, I asked Sam to keep stuff from you. But I know how to fix this - they jump together and pop out at the evening of the summer kickoff, 1999. Time travel Colton is coming back to jump back into the pond and sees Del. They have a wonderful heart to heart and slow dance together. 5 more minutes.

In the present day, Elliot proposes to Kat and she says yes. Alice snags her guitar and sings. Yay for them.

Del comes back and sells the boat to Nick and she and Sam have a bit of a moment and she calls him a rascal.

Alice and Max chat and apparently she broke up with her boyfriend. He says I'm proud of you. She says the song is about the type of love she wants and then they end up kissing and she says she thinks the road always leads to him. Nick was watching the whole time. He's like I'm excited to take Claire on this boat. She says will I ever meet Claire? He says maybe one day.

Kat and Elliot are hanging out, looking at the clock. And Elliot rattles off a theory about how maybe his mom lives and that's how the clock ended up in the walls. Good enough for me.

Jacob is talking to Alice about how he wished he had a good ring. Alice is like well I got this one. KC had it around their neck and they realize that KC must be Jacob & Abby's kid.

They get married and everyone is there for it. And Kat and Alice celebrate by jumping in the pond again.

It's the dress that they are going to dress famous actor, Rini-Jean. The dress is a big deal. It belonged to Elizabeth Taylor. Mills is like you need to sign this paper releasing the delivery into your hands because security is real tight right now. Apparently, there was already a robbery of something Gala related earlier this week, so the hotel is really locked down and following protocol. He helps her calm down - this is her first time doing this event without Celine there but she thinks Kayli is ready. Mills tells her that he'll be back soon to pick the dress back up and put it in the hotel safe. 

We find out that Mills is about to get a big promotion as head of security for the entire hotel chain.

BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS

The movie kicks off by showing us what Hawkeye was doing during Infinity War: teaching his daughter to shoot bow and arrows. Suddenly, his wife and kids turn to dust and he has no idea why.

23 days later, Tony Stark & Nebula are stuck in space together. She's helping him heal. They're about to run out of oxygen when Captain Marvel shows up to save them. She brings them back to Earth where they're reunited with Captain America, Hulk, Thor, Rhodey & Rocket. The happy reunion doesn't last long. Tony does one of his famous freak outs, saying things he will most certainly regret.

Captain Marvel gets the rundown & decides she's going to go kill Thanos herself. Everyone is like this witch shows up out of nowhere and now wants to be the hero, but Thor likes her and says we should go. So they track Thanos down. He's like oh hi. I destroyed the stones. My bad. So Thor cuts his head off.

Fast forward 5 years and Scott randomly pops out of the quantum realm machine, very confused. So he goes to talk to the Avengers about his experience. He tells Cap & Natasha about how for him, the 5 years was only 5 minutes. Maybe there's some way to use the quantum realm to go back in time and stop Thanos. Only one guy is smart enough to help - Tony. But now Tony has a daughter & he's not interested in helping. But Tony can't forget about it. He pokes around and figures out how it could work.

Scott, Cap, and Natasha turn to the next smartest guy they know - Bruce. He agrees to help and they do some experiments but nothing overly helpful. Tony shows up with a time traveling device and says it's time to get the band back together.

They do some testing and find out they can go to the past and bring something back without changing anything. So they have a plan - team up and go get the stones and bring them to the present which would prevent Thanos from being able to do his thing.

Banner, Lang, Rogers, and Stark travel back to New York during Loki's 2012 invasion. At the Sanctum Sanctorum, Banner persuades the Ancient One to hand over the Time Stone by promising that all of the Infinity Stones will eventually be returned to their rightful places in time. Plus, Doctor Strange gave it up willingly in his time which is good enough for the Ancient One.

Meanwhile, at Stark Tower, Rogers successfully recovers the Mind Stone from Hydra agents posing as S.H.I.E.L.D. operatives. However, Stark and Lang's plan to steal the Space Stone goes wrong, allowing Loki to escape with it. To recover from the setback, Rogers and Stark travel further back to 1970, where Stark obtains an earlier version of the Space Stone and unexpectedly gets the chance to speak with his father. Rogers steals additional Pym Particles needed for their return trip and catches a glimpse of his lost love, Peggy Carter.

Meanwhile, Thor and Rocket journey to Asgard in 2013. Rocket extracts the Reality Stone from Jane Foster, while Thor reunites with his mother, Frigga, who snaps him out of his funk and gets his swag and his hammer back.

In 2014, Nebula and Rhodey travel to Morag and secure the Power Stone before Peter Quill can retrieve it. Hawkeye and Black Widow head to Vormir, where Red Skull explains that the Soul Stone can only be obtained through the sacrifice of someone you love. Romanoff gives her life so Barton can claim the Stone.

As Rhodes and Nebula prepare to return to the present, Nebula's cybernetic implants connect with those of her past self. This allows the 2014 version of Thanos to learn about his future defeat and the Avengers' plan to reverse it. Thanos captures Nebula and sends her 2014 counterpart into the future to infiltrate the Avengers and pave the way for his arrival.

So they all return back in the present with the stones, sans Natasha. They put the stones on an iron glove and Bruce agrees that he's probably the best dude for the job. He snaps and immediately collapses. Hawkeye immediately gets a phone call from his wife. It worked!!!

But the happiness doesn't last long because 2014 Gamora used the Time Machine to get 2014 Thanos to show up and shoot the Avengers compound up big time. He's like thanks for getting all of the stones together for me.

It's giant fight time, folks. And it's not looking great for the Avengers despite the fact that Thor's hammer saw Cap as worthy enough to use it. But just when it's looking bleak, Doctor Strange returns by opening portals for the rest of the Avengers to show up and join the battle. Avengers assemble and IT'S AWESOME! It's a tough battle and Scott is busy getting his van Time Machine up and running since Thanos destroyed the other one so that they can return the stones. Captain Marvel shows up last minute and it's looking like they might do it but Thanos makes the van explode. Thanos gets the gauntlet back but Captain Marvel stops him from snapping his fingers. He's able to free himself. It's looking like a lost cause but Tony looks over at Strange who holds up 1 finger, showing Tony that this is the 1 in 14 million chances they win. Tony is able to get the stones and snap his fingers and make Thanos and his baddies disappear. But unfortunately the blast was too much for Tony and he dies.

At Tony's funeral, all the Avengers show up to show their respects. They create a new Time Machine and Captain America goes to return all of the stones to their proper time. But he doesn't return to present day. Well, he does but he's old. He decided to stay in 1970 and grow old with Peggy Carter. Steve gives Sam his shield. We have a new Captain America now.

BRAN’S GILMORE GIRLS (SEASON 2 EPISODE 8) SYNOPSIS

It’s Friday night dinner, and Rory agrees to pose for a painting. Apparently it’s a family tradition, despite the fact that Lorelai’s portrait was never finished.

The next day, Lorelai is chatting with Luke about business. Apparently he’s a big business boy. She and Sookie want to make the leap and open their own inn. They’re still early in the process, trying to figure out how to buy that property she found with Luke’s ex, Rachel.

Taylor is shocked when he walks up to Luke’s and sees police tape and a chalk outline on the ground. WTF is that about?!

Lorelai and Sookie find out that the owner of the property is the sweet old lady who runs the bakery, Fran. They go talk to her, but she says she can’t sell it. It’s the last thing she has left, and she just can’t let it go.

Taylor calls the police, and they come down and are like, “We have no idea what this is.” Taylor says, “I’ve got a dead body outside my store!” The cop replies, “No, everyone is accounted for. It must just be a prank.”

That’s when Rory, who has just walked up to the growing crowd, sees Jess looking on with a smirk. That darn prankster.

The owner of the Independence Inn is in town! Mia lovessss Lorelai and Rory, and they spend the day together. After hanging out with Mia, Lorelai begins to feel bad about potentially leaving both Mia and the inn.

Taylor figures out that Jess was behind the prank, so they throw an emergency town meeting to discuss what to do about him. They conveniently forget to tell Luke, but he walks in anyway and gives the whole town a piece of his mind.

After the meeting, Lorelai finally tells Mia about her plans, and Mia handles it great. So great, in fact, that Mia reveals she wants to sell the inn.

This causes one of Lorelai’s classic overthinking freakouts. She tells Sookie they should just press pause on the inn idea. It’s never going to work out. Then she really lays into Sookie: you’re too disorganized, you’re not ready, this is a mess. Sookie storms off.

Rory bumps into Jess and tells him that he’s making Luke’s life harder. The whole town is coming down on Luke because of him, and it’s not fair. Jess is like, “Yeah, but did you think it was funny?” They start getting a little flirty when Dean suddenly appears. Jess is like, “Oh... boyfriend? You didn’t mention that.” Awkwarddddd.

Lorelai and Rory show up for Friday night dinner, and Emily proudly unveils the new painting. But Lorelai is still in a bad mood. She tells her mom what’s going on—how Mia came back into town and completely threw her off. And, surprisingly, that throws Emily off too.

Lorelai starts to feel really bad about her freakout. She realizes she was just overwhelmed by everything they were trying to do. After talking it over with Luke, she goes to apologize to Sookie.

Emily shows up at the inn to meet Mia. She tells her she wishes she had encouraged Lorelai to come home. But also... “Do you happen to have any pictures?”

The episode ends at Luke’s. Rory watches as Luke realizes that Jess secretly fixed the toaster. The two of them share a smile. Uh oh.
