Punch it Out
Updated 2006-12-10 16:00:00
Emily has hired the fanciest of all party planners to put together Lorelai's wedding celebration. Lorelai, naturally, hates every second of the planning and acts line a nine-year -old. Liz brings Doula to the diner to visit Uncle Luke, and suggests that he get a lawyer to deal with the whole April/Anna debacle. Following this mature advice, Liz promptly dumps her baby on his counter and dashes for a Mother's Day Out. Out on a walk with Doula, Luke runs into Lorelai in front of Doose's. As they coo over the baby together, Christopher walks out and gets an uncomfortable look. Later, his insecurity gets the best of him, and he tells Lorelai he wants to have another baby with her. Like, RIGHT NOW. When she is hesitant, he gets offended and wreaks his revenge the next day by taking Emily's side at the wedding party planning. They get in a big fight, and he accuses her of being selfish. Speaking of motherhood, April's mother is getting her bitch on. Luke is thus put in the unusual position of taking Liz's advice: he consults a lawyer from whom he does not get good news. The attorney tells him he'll have to fight in court, and do it soon. Logan doesn't like that Rory and Marty are pretending not to know each other, and much to everyone's great disappointment, he busts the secret wide open, embarrassing everyone. Everybody's upset about everything, but no one is pissier than Christopher, who drunkenly decides that it's finally time he and Luke had it out. They get into an awesome, wordless beatdown in the town square which ends with no clear winner. A beatdown of a gentler sort takes place when Emily ambushes Lorelai with marital advice, telling Lorelai that if she doesn't take her relationship seriously and learn to compromise, it could be over before she knows it.
