Patty-Tale

Miss. Patty has been in the biz we like to call show for forty years. She's a hip gal, snazay dresser and all time Stars Hollow gossip townie. Any news, information or intel that passes by her ears is spread so quickly that you might think of her as a gossip plague. No one is immune. No one is safe. Normally, that is the case. But in the last installment episode called Super Cool Party People, Miss Patty dropped her long time habit. Instead of dealing out the "big bad" secrets, she covered for our Gilmore girl Lorelai about her drunken, center stage outburst. Well, she didn't omitt very much, just Lorelai's frontal slurr of "not happening marriage" talk. How sweet, huh? Well, at first it felt a little weird, but then I got to thinking. Miss Patty is a stand up lady. She's never in her whole life, or what we know of it, done anything to hurt anyone, especially Lorelai. Miss Patty has taken to herself to look out for Lor. Remember her attempt to set Lor up on a date at the basket buying in season two? She was trying to help give Lorelai what the poor girl needs, so it's clear to see that this act of lying was something well in Miss Patty's character.

But was Miss Patty's tale the right thing to do? Do you think that Lorelai hoped that her little outburst would reach Luke's ears? Or do you think that she was grateful for Miss Patty's act of kindness? What do you think of the Patty-tale?
