Gilmore Girls in 2025: Rory and Lorelei are talking on the phone and Lorelei is ranting about how she doesn’t understand Labubus. After half a dozen beanie baby references she vows to never get a Labubu because they’re ridiculous.

Lorelei spends her week running around doing her typical town things. One by one she sees the townies with their Labubus. Michel’s is decked out in Gucci. Babette and Maury are pushing theirs around in a stroller. Kirk is trying to resell obvious Lafufus after buying them thinking they were legit.

After many of these reveals, Lorelei sits down exasperated at Luke’s and ranting about how everyone is susceptible to trends while she orders lunch. He’s grumbling things like “tell me about it” and “bunch of sheep.” She finishes her rant with her food order (“just a punch bowl of coffee, thanks”).

Luke turns to walk away and a Labubu with a backwards baseball cap, a flannel shirt and a tiny ordering pad and pencil is clipped to his belt. Lorelei yells “not you too!” Luke responds “Oh this thing? April gave it to me. It’s actually kind of cute” and Lorelei screams.

Episode cuts to Rory arriving at Friday night dinner. The maid leads her into the living room where Lorelei is waiting. She says “I have something to tell you…” and then holds up the most customized Labubu you’ve ever seen with a massive grin.

“Mom, no!” Rory says. “I thought you said you’d never—” “I almost named him Tom Selleck because he was the hairest guy I could think of, but then I remembered the avocado farm scandal and—“ We hear Emily’s Gilmore’s voice: “Oh my god, what is that?!”

Lorelei, still holding the Labubu, stands alone next to the drink cart. She sighs, drops the Labubu into the trash and follows them into the dining room. Fade to black, Executive Producer Amy Sherman-Palladino.

Don’t ask me what Rory is doing in her half. Hopefully something with Paris Geller.
