Welcome back to Stars Hollow, where the Spring International Food Festival combines the two things Lorelai loves most: town events and food.

First Pop-Tart sighting AND first pop culture reference. It involves Tori Spelling falling at Benihana, naturally.

Important update: Lorelai now has a few more ovens — presumably an addition made by Luke — but the Gilmores stick to a classic coffee pot in the era of the Keurig. Some things never change.

If you were worried the pop culture references wouldn’t feel timely, Lorelai and Rory are here to discuss the town’s plans to remove the phone booth. But, as Rory puts it, “Where would Superman change when he comes to save our town from Ben Affleck?”

Another important update: The Gilmores have a new fridge (that somehow looks older than the original).

Emily’s grieving process involves buying a huge portrait of Richard. As Rory says, “It’s the whole wall.”

The house is back! And sitting on the front steps is a lost Rory. (This isn’t the first time she’s sat out there to think about life … remember what happened after the season 4 finale?)

Apparently, Rory being “rootless” and living a “vagabond existence” means going to job interviews in fancy buildings…

As Lorelai tells what appears to be a therapist, “I thought I knew exactly what I wanted and where I was going.” Now, things are “hazier.” And what’s with the way she says she and Luke are happy???

Cue the tears! Our first glimpse at Richard’s funeral includes Emily saying, “I was married for 50 years. Half of me is gone.”

Without Richard, Emily not only wears jeans and a T-shirt (!!!) but she’s decided to declutter her life by removing anything that doesn’t bring her joy. (No, the dining room chairs don’t bring her joy.)

 OH, HI JESS (and Jess' biceps). Talking to a struggling, jobless Rory, Jess assures her that she’s “still a contender.” (For his heart??) In all seriousness, are they in a newsroom? Are they at Jess’ press?

If you thought Michel would’ve somehow found happiness by now, you were wrong. He’s still as sarcastic and grumpy as ever.

The Gilmore Girls never cared about what was “fashionable.” Why do you think Lorelai wore so many shirts with dogs on them?

To be honest, we're surprised it took the girls this long to do this in Luke’s truck, and yet it’s still the cutest thing we've ever seen.

Miss Patty’s dance studio is still up and running (and are those dancers better than they were eight years ago?).

It’s Dean! In Doose’s! In a pea coat! And he’s finally figured out his hair situation! The fact that he’s not in an apron points to him either no longer working there — thank goodness — or maybe running the place?

The inseparable duo of Babette and Miss Patty are doing what they do best: Working a town function and spreading joy. This time, they're signing people up for the Stars Hollow musical. So ... where's Sutton Foster?

SOOKIE! She’s back in the kitchen at The Dragonfly and she’s making a mess (followed by a hilarious comment). All is right. (Also, is it just me, or is she surrounded by a lot of potential wedding decor?)

And finally, a smile from Emily, the cure to, well, anything. But let’s get real: That backdrop looks a lot like a wedding, am I right?
