Anyone who's stuck with Gilmore Girls for the long haul knows that Lorelai is always supposed to end up with Luke. Duh. However, no one can deny that (at least until the whole lawsuit thing) Jason Stiles and Lorelai make a pretty interesting couple. Their dynamic is made even more interesting by the fact that they've grown up in the same social circle, which was why Lorelai knows Jason's childhood nickname, "Digger," and uses it to purposely aggravate him during their first conversation in the original series. Jason fires back with an equally embarrassing nickname, "Umlauts," which Lorelai is horrified to hear again. Their first heated conversation is what piques Jason's interest (and relentless pursuit) of Lorelai. In the revival, Jason and Lorelai run into each other at Richard's funeral, and they teasingly use those nicknames again, calling back to that first conversation that started it all.
