The highest-rated episode of Gilmore Girls called Raincoats and Recipes in the season 4 finale was proof that Luke Danes and Lorelai Gilmore were meant to be together. In previous seasons, the two had a suspenseful build-up, navigating a thin line between friendship and flirtation, but never fully giving into their budding romance. Lukes support during major events, such as Richard Gilmores health troubles and Rory Gilmore’s school project issues, helped prepare their relationship for the next phase and established him as a reliable and trustworthy figure. Because they werent initially romantically involved, viewers rooted for them even more.
