As she waits for her car from the valet, Maj contemplates on what she knows is coming. Mitchum will make his signature move, he will hit her with a retainer. The Huntzberger way is to make you an offer that you cannot refuse. The retainer will be ridiculous simply because it can be, the higher the number the better since every zero will make it a business decision and not an emotional decision. Mitchum will force his agenda by making it the best business decision possible. In the eyes of her partners, Maj will become Ahab. She will have landed the whale. Technically, the whale jumped into the boat but Maj is still the baby of the named partners at the firm with still plenty to prove at this level. Mitchum will force Maj into service because her partners will want the association and the business. In order to do right by her partners and her firm, Maj will have no choice. Her name on the door came with a seven figure buy in and expectations. Maj lays her head back as she turns up the volume on the radio. Tiesto take me away. Maj allows the bass to take her out of her head at least for the 20 min ride home. Maj can only hope that the hour is late enough that Rory will be in bed by the time she arrives back at her house.
Maj acknowledges that she is forced into a situation where she does not actually know what is right or who she can trust. She trusts her brother and Jess but and now there is suddenly a but. The but is Rory Gilmore. Both Jess and Matt now have a relationship with Rory Gilmore that likely has a bound in a bit of loyalty. Jess is actually her cousin by marriage and Rory was Jess' first love. With each passing day, Maj can see Matt getting how he gets. The attachment to Rory is growing. Maj is not sure of the source of attraction but Matt is definitely being Matt. The Venn diagram of the relationships of Rory Gilmore would look like a kaleidoscope.
Maj has a long friendship with Honor and Josh that predates, Jess. Maj has a relationship with Mitchum Huntzberger whether she likes to admit it or not. Maj knows that someone in the Huntzberger inner circle tipped the press off to the existence of Rory Gilmore. It had to be someone close since the connection with Rory and Logan pretty much died in the aftermath of college with a revival to an affair at some point. This is exactly why Maj chose to be a defense attorney and not a divorce attorney. Maj is not exactly in the honor business but the business of good and evil is still cleaner than affairs of the heart. Love is messy business with no survivors. Maj knows that she has to find the truth of Rory Gilmore. The truth of this situation is who is the father of Rory's baby. Maj knows that Rory believes the father of her baby is Logan but is Logan actually the father? Mitchum made it quite clear that nothing is to interfere with the dynastic plan.
Finn waits for Logan to join him at the pub. As Finn takes a look around the hidden away pub, a thousand happy thoughts of a largely misspent youth flood his mind bringing a quite genuine smile to his face. Their worlds have definitely changed in the last decade. The decadence of youth is now the dynastic responsibilities of heirs. A nudge to his shoulder brings Finn back to the moment as Logan takes the stool beside him with a wave to the bartender for a pint. The conversation begins with light social topics as Logan prepares to bare his soul to Finn about Rory. Logan knows that Finn does not likely know about the headlines that sucked Logan's world into a vortex. Logan also knows the possibility is quite certain that Mitchum will tap Maj into service and Logan wants to gauge the current state of the relationship between Finn and Maj.
Logan begins with an inquiry has to how the trip to Vienna went with Maj. Finn confides that he really needed an adventure and that the impromptu trip did the trick to get his head straight before the meetings with the board of his father's company. Logan smiles at the mention of Finn's Impossible Girl. The nickname has stuck since they met Maj and other than it being from Dr Who, Logan has no idea what it means or why Finn calls her by that name. From the look on Finn's face, Logan can surmise that Finn's father is not doing well. He may be knee deep in the Huntzberger dynastic plan but Finn, Finn is chest deep and the water is rising. This future was the excuse given for every moment of their wildly misspent youth. Truly in the realm of first world, one percenter problems, few understand the pressures that come with this life when it comes a calling.
Finn cannot contain the shock of the news of Rory's pregnancy nor can Finn contain the words that immediately slip from his lips sans a filter. "Are you sure it is yours?" hang in the air between the old friends. Logan knows the immediate unfiltered reaction from Finn is out of loyalty. Finn always liked Rory but Logan was his friend. from the details provided by Logan in his reveal, Finn knows the time frame is the long goodbye that they did for Rory and Logan in the fall. Rory was the love of Logan's life. Rory was, as a joke pops into Finn's head, Logan's Rosemary. Logan releases the pressure in his head by confiding all of his thoughts to Finn. Finn will understand and Finn is not one to judge. Finn offers some thoughts as to who would have tipped off the paps to even know where Stars Hollow was on a map. "I mean it is like a little hole in the wall, nutso little nothing town, how did they even figure out you had a connection there?" That fact had been bugging the heck out of Logan. He has only been there a couple of times. Most of his relationship with Rory was based in New Haven and their affair was in London, who the hell would have made that connection so clearly? Finn offers the words that Logan knows are based in truth and they are words he does not want to hear. Finn asks Logan who betrayed him?
