To Live and Let Diorama

The oldest resident of Stars Hollow finally kicks it, and no one is particularly upset about it because I guess death is what old people deserve, plus a whole new world of opportunity opens to the Stars Hollowians when Old Man Tinkertoyorwhatever leaves his house to them, with the demand that it be turned into a Stars Hollow history museum for two months. Taylor immediately gets drunk with bizarre manifestations of power at the prospect, and commandeers a museum crew chock full o' crazy townies -- and, to everyone's surprise, Luke, who secretly wants to buy Old Man Tinkertoy's house when the museum closes so he can live in it with his girlfriend Lorelai "or whoever." Over at Yale, we learn that Rory and Logan and Paris and Doyle have apparently broken up over the long hiatus, and the girls return to Stars Hollow to accidentally drown their sorrows in Miss Patty's museum grand opening punch. Both the punch and the museum are big hits, and all are entertained by a ridiculously ornate diorama about the finer points of Stars Hollow history. Especially Sookie, who could probably use a few hobbies or something. And at some point during the diorama, Lorelai realizes that an upcoming magazine article about the Inn isn't worth it if it includes her quotes about Emily, and how she's like Hitler. We end with Pointless Dean stopping by to tell Luke that Lorelai will never be happy with him, a drunk and shoeless Paris begging for change, Lane and Zach closer than ever now that his love of the banjo is no longer a secret, and, in a short and sweet scene that most of us can probably relate to in some way, Rory lying in Lorelai's lap and crying about Logan. Old Man Tinkertoy remains dead.
