This Friday's debut of the long-awaited "Gilmore Girls" limited event on Netflix will finally solve one of the comedy/drama's biggest mysteries.

Amy Sherman-Palladino, the creator of the cult favorite series, long ago revealed that she had four words in mind for the show's finale. But because she and her husband/"Gilmore Girls" co-executive producer Dan Palladino left the series at the end of the sixth season, Sherman-Palladino wasn't able to end the show as she wanted. Rather, others took over the writing, producing and directing duties for "Gilmore Girls" season 7, after which it was cancelled. To make matters worse, "Gilmore Girls" was axed after the final episode of season 7 had already wrapped, leaving the series with an unsatisfying ending.

Fortunately, the stars aligned and the Palladinos are once again behind the scenes of "Gilmore Girls" for its four-part Netflix revival. And this time, Sherman-Palladino can finally end the series on her own terms. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the final four words, which "Gilmore Girls" actress Liza Weil (Paris Geller) called "epic" and "beautiful," will be heard in "Fall," the revival's fourth and final chapter.

In the days leading up to the revival's release, several other "Gilmore Girls" cast members have shared their predictions for the show's last line.

"Mom, I'm pregnant – psych," Vanessa Marano (April Nardini) offered while "Bring back more Gypsy" was Rose Abdoo's (Gypsy) best guess. Rini Bell (Lulu) suggested that it could be "Bring me more coffee" while Keiko Agena (Lane Kim) said, "'It is tomato pie' — that's what I'm sure it's not."

Sean Gunn (Kirk Gleason) had a "Star Wars" situation in mind. "Luke, you're my father," he suggested. John Cabrera (Brian Fuller) said that he has no idea about the final four words and won't bother speculating.

Meanwhile, Jared Padalecki (Dean Forester) recently spoke about his favorite moment from filming the original run of "Gilmore Girls." "If I were to try to, it was actually a scene with Ed Herrmann," he told Entertainment Weekly.

Herrmann, who passed away in 2014, played the role of Richard Gilmore in the series.

"We're sitting there and he's like, 'How tall are you?'" the actor recalled. "I had just moved to L.A. within the year, I'm shooting with this actor that I've had utmost respect for and been a fan of for years, when I was in middle school in Texas," he added.

"Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life" premieres Friday, Nov. 25, on Netflix.
