“Hello, this is Luke.”
It was Jan. 2, 2016. I was still hungover from my two glasses of wine on New Year's Eve, so there was only one logical thing for me to do: binge-watch Gilmore Girls on Netflix.
The CW
I'm not new to Gilmore Girls. My mom and I watched it while it was originally on air, and since it came to Netflix, I've had it on pretty constantly. But this time, I noticed a detail I'd missed before.
The CW
Remember the first episode of Season 5? Luke and Lorelai finally kissed in the Season 4 finale, but we haven't seen them together since. Life keeps getting in the way.
Rory sleeps with Dean then leaves for Europe, and Luke has to go take care of his sister Liz and her boneheaded husband T.J. because they get in a small skiing accident.
The CW
So, naturally, Luke leaves Lorelai five voicemails explaining his absence. He even gets a cell phone so they can talk while he's away — and we all know how much Luke hates cell phones.
