Any Electricians in the house?



I have to install GFCI outlets in my kitchen before our house is inspected in a day or two. Seems pretty straight forward, I've done plenty of simple electrical stuff (switches, outlets, lights, even re-wired my shop), but I can't figure this out. Here are the details:

There are two cables (4 wires plus ground) feeding this outlet. I know which cable is lead and which is load. I have tested this by hooking up the lead only and the outlet tests fine. When I install the load, it trips.

I know I could just the blacks together and whites together and pig tail it to the outlet, but there are several others down the line I'm hoping to avoid replacing, and, GODDAMMIT, this should work!!

Anybody have any thoughts?
