Gilmore Girls 5.01 “Say Goodbye to Daisy Miller” Photos

Good News! I found a workaround for now for photos from the episodes of Gilmore Girls! Although I don’t have legal rights to take my own screencaps, the photo service I use now has all of Season 5-7 in images!! So, I will now catch up with the first episodes of this season. It won’t be perfect (the search for the images is not straightforward), but I will try to integrate the images from now on into my recaps. It won’t be as many – but better than nothing!

Gilmore Girls Episode Recap & Photos:

There is a funeral for Stan – a guy who wore a fedora and Hush Puppies each day, but no pants. He was a regular at the Inn, and had the first reservation already booked for the Dragonfly – even though all he could eat was salad. Lorelai has noticed that five people a year die in Stars Hollow – Stan is #4 for this year. They speculate about who is next. Sookie & Lorelai prepare a eulogy for Frank, the old guy they vote to die. It is announced that Stan donated money for the church bells to be repaired and restored. Hank stumbles and the girls are worried about karma. They say the fifth could be anyone, even Kirk – as Kirk falls…
