Unfortunately, it does. Luke and Lorelai hear the front door open, and call out to Logan and Rory that they are upstairs, "and in the interest of full disclosure," Lorelai adds, pulling her robe around her, "we're fairly casual." Unfortunately, again, it ain't Rory. Mitchum Huntzberger lunges through the door, asking who they are and saying that he's looking for Logan. Speak of the devil, Logan and Rory arrive home at that moment and the badness begins. Mitchum, mad as dammit, asks where the hell Logan has been, saying he's been ignoring Mitchum's calls and pages. Logan says he got all the pages, but that his dad didn't even need him that weekend. This is where they really get into it. Apparently, Logan was supposed to be in London over the weekend, meeting with his father's business clients, but he skipped it. They start screaming at each other, Logan saying he didn't need to be there, and his father saying that's not Logan's decision to make. It is a vicious, impressive fight, and Lorelai, Luke, and Rory look on, embarrassed. Mitchum gives the big finish, saying that Logan is getting on the plane today, and that he'd better get used to it, since he'll be in London for at least a year as soon as he graduates, as they discussed. "You discussed it," Logan says, to no avail. His dad does everything but grab him by his ear, and throw him in the car. "I have guests," Logan says; Mitchum says his guests can stay, but Logan's leaving.
Ten minutes later, Logan says his goodbyes. He and Lorelai have an awkward moment at the door. She tells him not to worry about it, and adds that no one understands letting family down better than she does. I wish they had had more time to talk about their evil families.
