The night of food, wine, coffee, confection and conversation passes quickly ending with the boys cleaning up from the party. Jess ends up loading the dishwasher. He takes great care with the dishes as he is loading the dishwasher since he now knows the history behind them. Matt is packing the last of the food as Maj brings in the last of the glasses from the dining room. Maj is waiting to steal a few moments alone with Rory as she notices the turn of the conversation between Rory and Jess. Maj takes in the details of a planned trip home for an appointment with her baby doctor with the bit of sting that they delivery even when simply overheard. Maj notices Matt's subtle tell but is a bit unsure as to why Matt is also reacting to the discussed plans.

Jess notices the reactions of Maj and Matt to his conversation with Rory. Rory excuses herself to head to bed as Matt takes his leave of Maj's house leaving Jess and Maj alone in the kitchen. Jess seizes the opportunity for a conversation with Maj despite the awkward lead in of the conversation with Rory. Maj takes in Jess, it feels like a million years since they have had any extended moments alone. Jess makes small talk with Maj to normalize the moment. They take a seat at the breakfast nook over a final cup of coffee. Maj does not mention anything about Rory by intention and by design. The conversation focuses on grabbing dinner when Jess gets back from Stars Hollow. Maj is intentionally trying to avoid another Gilmore discussion. Every aspect of her world seems to have six degrees of separation from a Gilmore.

Logan has been surprised by Odette's renewed attentiveness since their arrival back in London yet his thoughts are on replay with Rory in a starring role. Odette notices that Logan has been lost in his thoughts and she is well aware of the source of distraction. The reports from New York have been as she had anticipated and her plans are coming together quite nicely. Odette has already moved the next piece on the board. She is currently the puppeteer of the narrative and that is just the way she likes it. She enjoys the position of power. As Logan prepares to head out, Odette mentions that she may head to Paris for a fitting in the next few days. Logan nods in acknowledgement without a second thought. He has business in London and in Vienna so he will be occupied.

Logan checks the world clock on his phone. He realizes that it is a ridiculous hour to reach out to Rory. Logan closes his phone and slides it back into his pocket as he kisses Odette on the cheek before heading out to another in an endless series of meetings. This was the life planned for him but this is the life that he now owns. He heads to the car and into the abyss of the business day. As his father always told him, deals are rarely made in the nine to five.

After a day of meetings, Logan joins his father for dinner. To his surprise, Mitchum reveals that he will be in New York for the next week. The original plan was for Mitchum to accompany him to Vienna. Logan is surprised that his father is entrusting him with this meeting but they have been moving in this direction for some time leaving him to play it off to a growing faith and his current adherence to the dynastic plan. Logan is waiting for his father to mention the yellow press since the London tabloids have picked up on the scandal. Again to Logan's surprise, Mitchum plays the growing scandal off to the rights of passage for a Huntzberger heir. With marriage comes scandal, that is the norm in this world but his father again cautions Logan that this is not simply an affair, this involves a child, so he should make sure that he is the father.

Logan knows his father is right. In his heart he has no doubt but this is a decision best left to his head. Logan's phone lights up with the reveal of the expected message from Odette that she will be heading to Paris. Logan could see the tell tale signs that Odette was itching for some Parisian time and he is quite willing to be the bachelor for the next few days. As his father takes a call, Logan reaches out to see if Finn is still in town, he could use a bit more therapy over a few pints from someone who gets him.

About half way through her day, Maj gets the expected text from both Rory and Jess that they are heading out to Stars Hollow and that the alarm is set. As she reads the message, Maj is a little torn. She is thrilled to have her house to herself but she kind of doesn't want to be alone. Funny how that works, Maj muses to herself as she heads into a client meeting. Jess and Rory have loaded the car and prepare to drive to Stars Hallow, Jess is looking forward to dinner at the diner. It has been a long while since he did face time with Luke. Jess is now happily settling into the decision to drive home the day before the appointment. Jess is wondering if this will also provide a natural out to him having to go to the appointment with Rory, perhaps Lorelai will go instead.

The beginning of the drive is quiet as Jess and Rory settle into the rhythm of the road. Jess indulged Rory with a coffee, an actual coffee since he knows that Luke will kibosh any other offerings over their stay. The conversation is light until it takes a turn. Jess is surprised that the words actually manifested from his head out loud. He asks if Rory really knows who the father of her baby is. Rory had previously shared the Wookie story, and Paul/Peter or whatever the hell his name was. At first Rory is taken aback by Jess' rather boldly stated question. Jess did not pad the question with sweet words or wrap it in concern. It was asked without fear. Honestly, Rory cannot ignore the validity of the question. Jess knows her world, he did not know all of the details but he knew most of the details which means that she has no where to hide. Jess did all of his running in youth. The changes in Jess continue to astonish and amaze her without end. She knew this potential existed. She always acknowledged it and now she acknowledges it with a twang of jealousy. Jess has evolved, Rory knows she has devolved from her own youth. She should feel something, regret, shame, something. She and Logan had an affair. A long time affair. She was in a relationship and Logan was in a relationship, yet she feels nothing. No regret, no shame and surprising very little concern. Odette truly does not matter to her.

Jess realizes that Rory's lack of answer to his question is simply based on the fact that she is staring blankly out the window lost in her head. Jess repeats his question. Rory unintentionally snaps an answer back. "He has to be the father." Rory did not intend for the response to sound as hostile as it did and that is a source of immediate regret. "I'm sorry." Jess brushes off the tone. "Is there a chance is he not?" This time Rory tempers her answer this time around. "There is a smalll chance that Logan is not the father but I think he is the father." Jess takes in Rory with a side long glance. "What are you going to do if he is not the father. You know that the Huntzbergers are going to demand it." Rory is again lost in her thoughts. "They cannot demand that." Jess turns towards Rory. "Rory, if you make a play for Logan, they can and will ask about paternity. Who knows about the affair..." Jess gives her a coy crooked smile to lighten the mood. "Other than Page Six."
