Lorelai is thrilled at the visit from Jess and Rory. Lorelai has been missing Rory and she swears that Rory's bump has grown since she last saw her. Jess drops Rory off as he heads to the diner. He wants some counter time with Luke without a companion. Jess needs a break from all things Gilmore if even for an hour. A huge smile crosses Luke's face at the sight of Jess taking a seat at the counter. Luke cannot remember how long it has been other than it has been too long since Jess paid a visit. Luke immediately grabs a couple of mugs. Jess and Rory have arrived just after dinner and the diner crowd has slowed. Luke and Jess catch up on all things Liz and TJ, Lorelai and Luke before hit up on the how about you conversation pinned on Jess. Jess has never been one to offer up and Luke wants to know what has been going on in Philadelphia with Rory making herself at home in Jess' life.
Luke asks the obvious questions to allow Jess to open up about what has been going on. Luke knows that Rory's decision to run to Philadelphia has had an impact on Jess' life and Luke's main concern is that Jess is okay. Jess shares both the good and the bad with this situation mentioning the take over of Maj's house. Luke thought Rory was staying with Jess, he did not realize that Rory was staying at Maj's house. Luke is wondering how that dynamic is working out considering that he saw the spark between Maj and Jess. A pregnant third wheel would have a definitive impact. Luke is wondering if anything reignited with Rory and Jess but he is not really getting that vibe from Jess at this moment. Luke can see the obvious affection that Jess has for Rory but it is not registering as it has previously. Luke is writing that off to being a positive since this whole situation is just unusual. Luke avoids asking directly about Maj in the context of Jess since he cannot read that particular relationship. A glance at the clock and a clear of the plates in front of them, Luke realizes that several hours have passed and it is time to head back to the homestead. Luke offers the couch at the house but Jess tells Luke that he would rather sleep in his own bed upstairs. Luke realizes that Jess actually had a bag looped over his shoulder as Jess retrieves it from his feet before rounding the counter to head up the stairs.
Luke finds the living room as he had expected to find it, the take out containers are scatter about and the girls are deep into a movie. Luke gives Rory a hug before heading up to bed. He laughs that you would think that Lorelai and Rory had not seen each other in months over a few weeks. Lorelai has also informed Luke that she will be taking Rory to her appointment in the morning. Luke is happy to hear that since that was what Jess was hoping for and now Jess can carry through his plan for a visit with his mom.
Wendy starts the day by organizing the papers on Maj's desk. Wendy cannot help herself the headlines are simply too intriguing. Wendy puts Maj's coffee in place before flipping the pages. Wendy knows there is at least a half an hour before Maj will arrive. Wendy grabs up Maj's coffee as an accompaniment for the salacious stories as she makes herself comfortable in Maj's chair. Maj enters her office with a smile at the sight of Wendy's feet up on her desk with her coffee cup in her hands reading away. Hell, Maj muses to herself. I'll bill Mitchum for research. Noticing Maj's appearance in the doorway, Wendy practically does a Stooge worthy spit take. Maj waves off Wendy's fear. She personally had no interest in reading all of those damn papers and now all she has to do for a summation is ask. Wendy straightens the papers and heads out to land Maj another cup of coffee. Maj knows that Mitchum is coming to New York with expectations and he is paying her with very real money so Maj makes a plan.
Maj realizes that this plan is going to require the "book", the book is something that Maj only pulls out when absolutely necessary. The book is her little black book of the seedy side of her business. Maj is a defense attorney and sometimes that requires a stroll through the less than honorable crowd. Right now she needs a resource with a bit of latitude in their moral compass and motivation provided by Benjamin Franklin and his associates. Wendy is momentarily taken aback by the request for the book. Few know about the book and it took years before Maj trusted Wendy with the knowledge of the book. Wendy accesses the book from its place of safe keeping. Maj goes through the names before telling Wendy who to contact. Maj has Wendy call up her PI, she needs a hole dug and it may require a backhoe. Mitchum did ask her to handle this by whatever means and she is a clever girl. Maj finds her assistant's joy at the whole Nancy Drew aspect of this particular representation very entertaining as the calls are made and instructions provided.
Maj takes a glance through the articles to see if anything jumps out. Wendy was wise enough to go to the big news stand a few blocks further away. Pedro carries the international rags and Wendy grabbed a full set of the British yellow press. Wendy notices Maj's skim of the British tabloids. Wendy is still so excited about the current topic that she brings Maj a coffee as she offers up a rather interesting summation of what she read. Maj listen intently as she sips her coffee. Wendy has a surprising depth of knowledge about this particular topic that Maj realizes will be invaluable since Wendy has a rather interesting theory.
