I just love their relationship and how Patty looks out for him. She arranged the wake for Louie, she knows when his dark day is, when Rachel returned she made a comment about how Patty hadn’t forgotten how she left Luke and broke his heart. She also never sexualizes Luke like she does with so many other men in her life.

I also firmly believe Patty is the reason no one was talking about Luke and Lorelai after their first date, I think she knew Luke was happy and didn’t want the town to mess it up. She even defended their new relationship when Taylor brought it up at the town meeting.

Anyways, that’s the post. I love Luke and Patty’s familial bond.
