Complete story — includes the ending

Old man Twickum dies, declaring through his will that the house be made into a museum for two months, then disposed of by the Head of the Historical Society, aka Taylor. Much to everyone's surprise, Luke volunteers to help with the museum to remain close to the house, as he wants to buy it for his future with Lorelai. Lorelai is interviewed by a magazine due to her success with the inn, but ends up bad-mouthing her mother to the reporter. Lane suspects Zach of cheating on her with Sophie. Rory, Paris, and Lane get tipsy together on Miss Patty's Punch in Stars Hollow, as the trio sulks over their recent pitfalls with love and then try to contact their beaus. Dean informs Luke that their situations are the same, as Dean believes Rory and Lorelai both want more than small-town-guys, and that Lorelai will eventually get bored with Luke and move on. Lane discovers Zach secretly practicing in a bluegrass band. (Last appearance of Jared Padalecki.)
