I miss you too, Worm! Good thing we have Facebook!!!
Yeah, I don't know what the shit it is. A bit of Claire mixed in with Seasons 10 and 11 of SVU and a whole lot of meta.

Some days Alex is acutely aware of how much she hates her job.
This is one of those days.
Not that she's ever considered Stars Hollow's Founder's Day celebration to be of particular significance to her, but she would take Taylor's histrionics and Kirk's general weirdness over listening to a detailed account of a twelve-year-old prostitute being raped and strangled, then thrown into the East River.
"We have to cut him a deal," Alex tells the detectives after the interview. One of the perps is willing to flip on his partner if it means getting to stay off Death Row.
It's a flimsy case; no eyewitnesses, no DNA, nothing conclusive on the forensic front.
Olivia stares at her incredulously. Elliot slams the door shut behind him as he storms out of the room. Cragen just looks tired.
Some days, Alex really hates her job.
She's on her way back to the office when she receives a text from Lorelai: Hitting the founder's day punch now. Expect a drunk dial soon.
Another one arrives moments later. No, wait, even better- IM GONNA DRUNK FACETIME YOU
Alex laughs to herself, even though it's probably wrong and inappropriate (god, if Olivia and Elliot were here, there would be even more incredulous stares and door-slamming).
Bring it on, Alex texts back, even though she'd made her opinion clear that Facetime is the invention of the devil.
("Steve Jobs is the devil?" Lorelai gasped the first time Alex had said it. "My mom's not going to be thrilled that her throne's been stolen.")
The text that arrives next is gibberish interspersed with a fair amount of punctuation, so Alex assumes the Founder's Day punch has kicked in and Lorelai is already too wasted for drunk Facetime.
Just like that, her day is a little better, notwithstanding dead children and making deals with murderers. It's probably not right, and it's probably not fair, but Alex isn't trying to save the world anymore (she's done that already, and failed) (but she's managed to save herself); she's just trying to do her job to the best of her ability, and then go home to Lorelai.
