IT's time for a little history lesson, ok? So, a massive meteorite made of vibranium crashed into Africa Five tribes go to war over it until one warrior consumes a mysterious heart-shaped herb altered by the vibranium and gains incredible abilities, becoming the first Black Panther.

He unites the tribes and establishes the hidden nation of Wakanda. Over generations, Wakanda becomes the most technologically advanced civilization on Earth while hiding in plain sight.

In 1992, King T’Chaka visits his younger brother, N'Jobu in California, where he has been working undercover. T’Chaka discovers that he has secretly helped a black-market arms dealer steal vibranium from Wakanda. When confronted, he turns violent, forcing T’Chaka to kill him. To protect Wakanda’s secrets, T’Chaka abandons N’Jobu’s young son in America and covers up the truth.

Got it? Good. Years later, the King is killed and Prince T’Challa returns home to be crowned king of Wakanda. During the event, M’Baku of the Jabari Tribe challenges T’Challa for the throne in ritual combat. T’Challa wins but spares M’Baku’s life. I'm sure that's for no reason though.

Soon after, this dude name Claw shows up in London and steals an artifact from Wakanda at a Museum. Oh and some dude named Erik Stevens is with him. T'Challa goes to this party to try to capture Klaw but it doesn't go well and leads to a massive chase through the city. This dude that works for the government named Ross ends up being quite hurt, so T'Challa ends up rescuing him and bringing him to Wakanda to heal him with their neat tech.

Zuri tells T'Challa some juicy info about how they left this kid in Oakland with no father and that kid grew up to be Erik Stevens and he now goes by Killmonger cuz of how many people he's killed and he's probably coming for us so hide your kids, hide your wife.

Killmonger murders Claw and delivers his body to Wakanda, earning an audience before the tribal elders. Revealing himself as son of N’Jobu and wants to challenge for the throne. T'Challa agrees and loses and is thrown off a waterfall cliff. He is now the king.

Killmonger prepares to send vibranium weapons to operatives around the world to begin a global revolution.

T'Challa's family leaves to asks M'Baku for help. Turns out, he has T'Challa on ice b ut in a good way. They use the heart-shaped herb to bring him back and restore his powers.

T’Challa returns to Wakanda for a final battle. T’Challa and Killmonger have a creazy fight and T'Challa is able to disable Killmonger suit. T'Challa offers Killmonger a change to live but he choses death instead, but T'Challa lets him watch one last sunset.

T’Challa decides Wakanda can no longer hide from the world. He opens an outreach center in Oakland at the very place where N’Jobu died. T’Challa then appears before the United Nations and reveals Wakanda’s true technological power to the world.

And then to connect it all to the Avengers, his sister Shuri helps Bucky Barnes continue his recovery in Wakanda.

We're back with some more Gilmore Girls! Join us in this journey on social media - @gilmorethemerrierpod.

During Sookie's wild bachelorette party, Lorelai impulsively calls Rory's father Christopher. This leads to her sad realization that Max is not the right man for her.

October 16, 2001 | The WB

• Lauren Graham as Lorelai Gilmore
• Alexis Bledel as Rory Gilmore

The Gilmore girls are sampling a TON of cake because the wedding is approaching quickly! Naturally, that means there's more wedding stuff to attend to, such as hiring Kirk to be the wedding photographer.

Rory and Dean are hanging out, arguing about when their anniversary is. Rory says Why not two anniversaries? Fair.

Max is over and it's just a nice night with Lorelai and Rory. Dinner, movie, it's nice. Max ends up staying over which freaks Lorelai out. So she wakes up Rory in the middle of the night - she's never had a man spend the night with Rory there. She realizes their life is about to change.

The next morning, they go to Luke's diner. Luke freaks out because Taylor is having a traffic light installed.

That night, Lorelai and Max go on a double date with Rory and Dean. They eat a ton of food and still have room for ice cream. Max can't believe it. Dean is like you have much to learn, brother. And he gives them some insight on what life is like with the Gilmore girls.

When they get home, Max and Lorelai get in an argument. Max wants to know what he should do if Rory is outside making out too long or comes home drunk. Lorelai is like I don't expect you to do anything. I just want you to make garlic bread and be my boy toy. She talks him down and they kiss goodnight.

It's bachelorette party time! It's the gang - Lorelai, Rory, Sookie, Miss Patty, and Michel, naturally. When they get in, she's shocked to see that Emily is there. Michel is like I invited her, naturally. Emily shares about how much her and Richard love each other. This leads to everyone contacting their significant others to tell them they love them. Lorelai decides not to call Max. Instead, it's Christopher. She tells him that she's getting married.

The next day, Lorelai is quite hungover. Max comes to the inn. He's frustrated. He needs to get in the house but he still doesn't have keys. She apologizes and he's like I just wish you would think about someone other than yourself a couple times a day.

Later, Luke surprises Lorelai with a chuppah for her wedding. They have a moment talking about marriage and what not.

Lorelai in a frenzied state, comes into Rory's room and says pack now, we're going on a trip. She's like you're getting married this weekend...right? She says no. Rory is like why? Lorelai says I didn't want to try on my wedding dress every night. That's good enough for Rory. They pack and hit the road and naturally, hit the red light heading out of town.
