Maj gathers her case and her phone from her home office as she makes her plan to vacate the house. On her approach to the kitchen, Rory hands Maj a travel mug of coffee. Maj has to smile since it was a thoughtful gesture. This morning she has court and she is quite literally running to be on time. On her way out Maj, passes Jess on the steps to her garage. Jess is obviously on his way in to give Rory a ride to the office. With a quick kiss to the cheek Maj is off to her car.

Jess makes his way up to the kitchen as Rory plates up some breakfast for the two of them. Jess grabs a couple of mugs and serves up some coffee before settling into the breakfast nook in the kitchen. This is one of the rare moments where Matt will not be joining them. Jess knows that Matthew has a morning meeting so this will be a twosome. Jess plans to take this time to have a heart to heart with Rory about her plans. Jess cannot help but feel like he is cheating on Maj with the time spent with Rory in Maj's space. Jess acknowledges that he really has no right to feeling anything, it is not like he and Maj are officially anything at this time but everything going on between them was nice. Jess truly likes being around Maj. Maj is someone he can see a relationship with. Jess likes the pace of things with Maj, it was relaxed but it was heading in a nice direction. The pace was slow because they both had something to lose with any misstep so caution was warranted. His life and Maj's life were not completely their own with their world so closely tied. Jess cannot help but notice the ridiculous level of irony at play. Rory is someone Jess loved, and she is actually family. The whole situation is just weird, so very weird.

Jess cannot figure out why Rory is nesting so deeply into Maj's space. Jess wonders if it is just a pregnancy thing or if she is nesting because Maj's life is the life that Rory saw for herself. He is almost afraid to ask the questions that are on his mind but it is time and the opportunity has presented. As they take their seats, Rory makes small talk with Jess. Jess counters with questions as to how she is feeling and questions as to when her next baby doctor appointments are. Those appointments had nearly slipped Rory's mind. She is seven months pregnant at this point and her next appointment is to be an ultrasound. Without a thought, Rory asks Jess to come to Hartford and come with her to the appointment. Rory's out of the blue request essentially derails every thought in Jess' head with a single commanding sentence. With the shock and awe of the delivery, the only response he can manifest through his lips is "what?". Rory pretty much makes the assumption that Jess will say yes and makes the plans with him in a rapid fire back and forth conversation. The appointment is for the day after tomorrow. Jess is completely shell shocked by the thought of this. It seems too intimate, he is not the father of Rory's baby. Rory continues the discussion as if this is the most normal thing she could ask of Jess.

Jess has never had an issue stating his opinions especially when it is something he does not want to do but he feels trapped by this situation. Rory did not even consider his opinion or his feelings yet she has an expectation of submission to her will. Jess knows that Rory is feeling vulnerable, lonely and overwhelmed. He acknowledges that this is a situation of her own creation, not his but this is Rory. Reluctantly, Jess agrees to drive her to Hartford with a plan to stop in Stars Hollow on the way home. He needs advice and the advice he needs is from Luke. The other hope is that perhaps Lorelai can convince Rory to come home. Perhaps there is a silver lining.

At his desk, Jess searches all of the tabloids to see if the story has subsided from the papers. The creep on Logan Huntzberger is to check in on the degree of caution that they need to exercise while at home. Jess cannot help but roll his eyes at the cloak and dagger nature of this situation. He has taken such pains to leave drama behind and he has a drama mamma attached to his world. Jess kills the search engine and takes to the task of rearranging his calendar and pawning a couple meetings off on Matt and Chris. Jess plans to spend the night at Luke's. He doesn't feel like turning around 8 hours of driving in a day since Rory plans on taking her car over the train.

After a long day in court, Maj is happy to be done and heading to the office to catch up on some calls. Curiosity has been poking at the back of Maj's mind all day, wondering if Mitchum will be Mitchum. Maj has barely pulled the strap of her satchel over her head as her assistant comes in with the news. Wendy knows her boss well and waits until Maj actually empties her files from her satchel and sits down. Before Wendy can speak, Maj looks up at her with a single phrase. "How many zeros?"

Wendy is glee with the score for the firm and the chance to interact with Huntzbergers. To Wendy, the Huntzbergers are American Royalty. Wendy had read each and every story, followed each and every wedding. Wendy could likely tell Maj the location of every property and every holding of the dynasty. Needless to say Wendy is a fan. "Five" Maj knows that five zeros comes with a leading digit. Maj is almost afraid to look at the size of the figure on the retainer. There is a broad range from one to nine with that leading digit. Wendy plops the folder on her desk and informs Maj that Mitchum has requested a meeting in New York for the next week and the retainer was a direct wire to the firm's account. Maj opens the file unable to contain the roll of her eyes at the leading digit. Mitchum split the difference and it is too much money to turn away for her firm. Maj thinks back to Finn's posh comment. There was a reason that they treated her like a regular at Madison Eleven. Her past with the Huntzbergers was centered on New York and New York kind of stuck with her in the aftermath. Madison Eleven was Mitchum's favorite NYC holding and a frequent meeting place.

Maj waves Wendy off to book the meeting and handle the details. Maj realizes that she has one hell of a conflict of interest brewing or more specifically baking since Rory has texted Maj to tell her it is lasagna night. Maj glances down at the stack of messages to return as a welcome source of distraction from the Huntzberger chapter of the Book of Gilmore. This situation is going to require Maj to be clever, really clever. She is going to have to convince Rory to get the DNA test done and her instincts tell her that Rory may not know for sure who the father is.
