Kirk is running a new scheme over at Luke's, trying to sell wrapping paper by charging less than what the middle schools are selling it for in a fundraiser. When Luke points out that the kids are selling paper to build a new gym, Kirk gets indignant: "I'm not a school, Luke. No one's raising money for me." Liz arrives with Doula, who is immediately fawned over by Miss Patty. "She's really strong, too," says Liz. "She can already hold her head up." I bother to quote that seemingly inconsequential line, because she repeats it verbatim one second later. Oops. Liz puts the baby, still in her carrier, on the counter, and after a nonsensical conversation about T.J. and an interruption from Kirk hawking his wares, she asks Luke how things are going with Anna. Luke says that things are okay, though he hasn't talked much to Anna since the big blow-up. He says he thinks that the whole April visitation thing should work out all right -- he's even made a list of times to see her that he thinks is pretty reasonable. All he wants is for April to visit during one holiday and one month of the summer, along with flying back and forth to Stars Hollow every other month: "In between, I can travel to New Mexico." Liz says that this (frankly, ludicrous) arrangement sounds good to her, but advises him to get a lawyer to make his chances better. "I don't like lawyers," says Luke, shaking his head. ["Not since he MARRIED ONE, anyway." -- Wing Chun] "Well, nobody does," says Liz, and I am in the weird position of agreeing with something Liz is saying. Ah, motherhood has made Liz smart? That's great. Except no, it hasn't. Having delivered her advice, she promptly leaves the baby with Luke, saying she needs time to herself, and runs out the door.
