Zack asks Luke if he’s going to Lane’s baby shower and is disappointed when Luke says he doesn’t think so. Mrs. Kim doesn’t plan on going either. Lorelai asks Lane what happened between her and her mom, and Lane says they had a fight because Lane said her kids were never going to go to church. Lorelai offers to tell Mrs. Kim that Lane would let them go to church if they really wanted to. Mrs. Kim tries to renegotiate and get Lane to agree to silly things like no sandboxes and Christmases with no presents, but Lorelai tells her to be reasonable and just go to the shower.

Rory gets a call from a guy at the New York Times who wants to meet her for coffee the next day. She goes to Logan’s apartment to spend the night, and he comes home drunk and crabby at three in the morning. He’s still a crab the next day, and now Rory is, too. Her meeting goes well, but Rory is pissed when she gets back and Logan isn’t ready to go to the shower. He finally tells her what happened with his company and says he doesn’t want to go to the shower. He’s going to go to Vegas with Colin and Finn instead. Rory does not approve.

Luke sees an ad in the paper and finds out Liz and TJ are selling his boat because they need the space in their garage. He says he doesn’t want to sell and he’ll find another place to put it. Liz tells him to just get rid of it before he ends up like their father, stuck in Stars Hollow and unable to change his life. Luke is unmoved, but then he goes home and calls April and says they should go to Disney World when she visits him for the summer. April says she’s fine just hanging out at the diner like they always do, and that prompts Luke to sell the boat to Kirk for six hundred dollars. Lorelai finds out and asks Luke about it. He says he was never going to finish the boat, so he sold it and went and bought a brand new one to keep at the marina.

Lorelai and Mrs. Kim go to Lane’s to talk to her about the shower, and Lane starts having some stomach pains. They go to the hospital and find out Lane has to be on bed rest. She’s upset she’s not going to get her shower, so Lorelai moves the party to Miss Patty’s and rolls Lane’s bed there. The party is a roaring success, and Lane asks Rory to be her “Lorelai Gilmore,” the person her kids can go to when Lane gets unreasonable with them.

Lorelai: How’s business?

Mrs. Kim: People die, go bankrupt, there’s always furniture to sell.
