Making matters worse, however, was the departure of series creators and writers Amy Sherman Palladino and Daniel Palladino. Without their signature brand of wit behind the wheel, the series quickly lost its footing — and, in the process, the relationship between Lorelai and Luke took a real turn for the unfathomable. Following the essential explosion of their relationship at the end of the sixth season, Lorelai goes on to engage in a relationship with Christopher, while Luke keeps his distance, brooding and stewing from afar.
It takes almost half of the entire season for the two to even talk to one another again after the initial tension subsides, which is just… not Gilmore Girls. The episode seems only to exist in order to portray Luke and Lorelai in unflattering lights, together and apart, and to prop up the relationship between Rory and Logan with no real grounds as to why. As much as Gilmore Girls presented itself as a show about women, and for women, the series really struggled with a serious masculinity problem when it came to men overexerting their stake in relationships.
Macho displays of violence and possessive behaviors happened on a far too frequent basis whenever anything remotely resembling a love triangle threatened to appear. Luke Danes was particularly guilty of having undue feelings of jealousy, even long before he was in a relationship with Lorelai. Christopher was hardly a saint, and never a character worth rooting for at that, but the number of times that Luke and Christopher got into physical altercations is truly alarming — especially considering Lorelai never really seems all that bothered by it, or the pattern it suggests.
After Jess and Rory get in an accident while driving around town, Rory winds up with a fractured wrist, and Lorelai places all the blame on Jess. Beyond that, however, Lorelai expects Luke to immediately side with her and Rory, rather than his own nephew. It took four long seasons for Luke and Lorelai to finally get their acts together and admit their feelings to one another.
So when the fifth season finally allowed the two to go on a real, proper, traditional date, it was a moment fans had waited more than long enough for. The date was about as sweet as it could get, with Luke at the most romantic that he had ever been in the series. Yet within all the schmaltz and cuteness that the night allowed for, something truly puzzling occurs. During his romantic speech to Lorelai about the moment they met, Luke produces from his wallet the newspaper clipping horoscope Lorelai had given him over eight years earlier.
Communication is a key part of every relationship succeeding. Luke and Lorelai are both incredibly stubborn, incredibly independent characters who will almost never admit to fault in any circumstances. As a result, they really struggle with the whole communication thing, especially when it has to do with feelings of any importance. Almost as soon as Jess sets foot in Stars Hollow, Luke is going out of his way to try and set the troubled teen up with Rory in whatever way he can, even if it just means that Rory takes Jess under her wing and tries to set him on the straight and narrow however she can.
Lorelai, of course, is entirely resistant to this idea, not wanting Rory to get caught up in the appeal of the bad boy the way she once did in her youth with Christopher.
But of course, over time, a spark develops between Jess and Rory — which leads to some real problems for the both of them, and the town as a whole.
The couple decides not to get married until fences have been mended between mother and daughter. He later enters the frame and asks the Gilmore girls what they want from the menu.
Lorelai tells him she needs some time to think to which Luke responds, "Take all the time you need". This becomes an obvious indication that she and Luke have spent some moments together off-screen discussing their future. Having learnt from their own experiences that being hasty brings nothing but trouble, the couple are reunited and decide to finally settle down and have a serious relationship.
Later on, in the Gilmore Girls revival, we learn that Luke and Lorelai have had a stable relationship over the past decade yet they have not wed. Emily refers to them as "roommates" while Lorelai refers to her and Luke as "partners. In the episode "Fall," Lorelai "does Wild" the book, not movie to clear her head. She doesn't actually hike the trail but she does have a realization, that she and Luke should get married. She goes home after ditching her backpack and finds Luke in their kitchen. Lorelai tells Luke she needs to talk to him but Luke insists they don't because he feels as if he knows what she's about to say, she's leaving him.
Luke tells Lorelai that he will never leave her and she is the only thing he needs so he begs her not to leave. Lorelai comes out and tells him she thinks they should get married. Luke, stunned and happy goes and gets the ring for Lorelai that they had back in their previous engagement. They plan the wedding and the night before, they're having pizza when they decide that they don't want to wait 10 hours.
It's bingo night so the reverend is up late. They wake Rory and see what Kirk laid out. It was perfect, a fairytale. They tied the knot that night and hold the wedding the next day.
Gilmore Girls Wiki Explore. Gilmore Girls. Kim Taylor Doose. Bob Berlinger. Team Ilrenta Wiki Representative. Explore Wikis Community Central. It's heartbreaking to see her cry, truly. Everything Lorelai does is super relatable. They were truly made for each other and losing him just broke her like it never did with anyone else!
SailorMarieCurie stated, "I love this breakup, it's so real. And how Rory helps her to wallow with all the junk food and TV. Although Luke and Lorelai's Season 6 finale breakup changed the show's trajectory when Lorelai rebounded with Christopher, it lacked the emotional punch of their Season 5 parting.
The end of their engagement was a long time coming, with Luke's daughter making a sudden appearance and him using her as an excuse to push Lorelai away and delay their nuptials. Some fans believe that Lorelai's rash decision to wed Christopher and their short-lived turbulent marriage was necessary to prove to Team Christopher devotees that the two weren't meant to be. I am one of the few fans that is glad Lorelai and Chris marry just to prove it isn't the fairytale we think it might be, and it doesn't work.
