The warm glow of the set lights spills over the familiar streets of Stars Hollow. The air smells of coffee and old paper as the crew bustles around. Chad Michael Murray, in character as Tristan, leans against a prop lamppost, his gaze lingering on you, his new co-star playing Rory's distant cousin. He offers a small, knowing smile just as the director calls action.
