Sookie tells Lorelai all the crazy things she did at the wedding the night before. Lorelai is horrified. Luke is back from April’s trip. He says he’s throwing a birthday party for April the next day and he turns down Lorelai’s offer to help out. He also won’t let her help him pick out a gift. He says he’s afraid if Lorelai gets involved in April’s life, April will like her better and won’t like him anymore. He lays down the law and says he’s April’s father and this is the way he wants it to be.

Rory can’t get any information about Logan from the hospital staff. She’s pissed that Colin and Finn don’t seem to care about Logan and are making a big joke out of everything. She calls Paris for help. Paris calls the hospital, yells at people for a minute and then calls Rory back and gives her the scoop. Logan has a whole slew of problems, including a partially collapsed lung and six broken ribs, but he’s expected to make a full recovery.

April’s party is a total disaster. Luke scares everyone when he tells them all they’re not allowed to go into the kitchen or they might burn their faces off. The girls just sit around playing cards and reading books. Luke calls Lorelai and begs her to come and help. Lorelai gives the girls makeovers and makes the party totally awesome. Lorelai hopes this means things are going to be different from now on.

Rory talks to Honor and finds out Mitchum isn’t coming to the hospital because he thinks Logan needs to grow up and quit doing Life and Death Brigade stuff. Rory calls him and tells him he’s a narcissistic ass and he needs to get to the hospital to see his son.

Anna comes to the diner the day after the party and yells at Luke for letting Lorelai, a woman she’s never met, help with the party and spend the night with April and her friends. Luke tells Lorelai how upset Anna is, so Lorelai goes to Anna’s store and apologizes for the party. Anna says she doesn’t want Lorelai involved in April’s life until she and Luke are married.

Luke, to Lorelai: You’re practically a cartoon character.
