This month, Jackie and Catherine experienced an immersive Stars Hollow weekend like no other, this year's Fan Fest Firelight Event in Guilford, CT! This episode is a bonus so we could bring you all the Gab. What cast members did we meet? Did we, in fact, dress alike all weekend? And how many times did Jackie "pull a Lorelai" and buy coffee from the same coffee shop in one day?  It was all too much fun to keep to ourselves!  A big thank you to Jennie and Marcus Whittaker for planning this amazing Fan Fest for the Gilmore Girls community.

Today Jackie and Catherine cover a bittersweet topic. Although death sounds extremely serious (and it is!)... on Gilmore Girls it is often infused with compassion, friendship, sweetness, and humor. Nothing stays too heavy for too long on our favorite Stars Hollow show. We explore:* How did some of the townspeople’s deaths shape important plot points for Lorelai, Rory, Emily, Luke, and others?* Who rose to the occasion when their family or friends needed support? And who didn’t? * What do we love most about how the town of Stars Hollow reacts to its grieving members? * And why did Rory cry so much at Stan’s funeral? {Note to our beloved townies}: if you’ve recently experienced loss or are feeling heavy grief right now, feel free to skip this one. We’ll always be here for you when you’re ready.
