Luke's attitude change toward Clem
Does anyone wonder why Luke was nice to Clem after saving her but then suddenly just drops Clem and distrusts her then he was nice to her again? I think Luke had a little sister who got bit and she died so Luke tried to not get attached to Clementine after he saw her bite. When Luke saw Clemetine's bite it probably reminded him of his little sister that he lost and he tried to separate himself from her. Maybe the bite victim that the group had was Luke's little sister. That's also maybe why he was in the cabin when they were talking about Clementine's fate after she faints. He probably didn't want to get involved with Clementine but I guess after he heard Nick almost shooting Clementine, his big brother instincts kicked in and he felt that he couldn't just stand by so took the responsibility to protect her bitten or not. It also explains when Luke tells Clementine that he's not going to carry her with that bite on her arm, but when she faints, he runs to her aid without hesitation and contradicting what he just said.
What do you think?

Luke is not to be trusted. Not yet anyways.
He didn't trust her because they had past experience with someone who was bit, which ended with one of them dead (Nick's Mom). Plus, I wouldn't carry someone with a bit on their arm: what if they turn and bite me in the neck?
It's perfectly understandable. I wouldn't want to hold a bite victim either, else I would become one myself.
Huh ? I thought they explained that the bite victim the group had was Nick's mother. I think they're all on edge because of that event, they all made it sound like it happened not THAT long ago.
As to why Luke suddenly drops her I'd say he probably doesn't know haw fast can someone turn and is extremely cautious. His "brother" instincts kick in when he sees Clementine losing consciousness, I think he carried her untul they reached the house, after he saw her still alive and not "zombified" then he realizes that she didn't lie and does everything he can to help her, to atone for his mistrust.
That's how I see it. We'll most certainly learn much more about all of them next episode. You hear me Telltale ? Gimme one of those "free-roam-and-talk-to-whoever-I-want" moments pretty please.
The group took care of someone who got bit but then the person turned and attacked Nick's mom. They haven't said who was the person that got bit was.
It would be weird if they mention "Nick's mother" and just use "someone" for Luke's sister, don't you think ?
That being said it's not impossible for Luke to have had a sister before he joined the group and warmed up to Clem because of that but... We'll see.
I think it was guilt (for dropping her) combined with his trust for Pete. Pete trusted Clementine and Luke trusted Pete, so Luke trusted Clementine.
Could be someone who Carver was close to which is why he up-and-left.
That could explain why they were so wary around Clementine who is a little girl.
When Pete gave the okay it still didn't satisfy Luke. Remember when he said that he wasn't going to carry her with that bite on her arm after Pete approved of Clementine? The only thing that changed his mind was seeing Clementine hurt and fainting to the floor in which he ran to her rescue.
Yeah! Don't trust nobody! Especially not the nice guys that turn out to be assholes anyway
St. Johns anyone? :P
Right? Why can nobody see this?
Hes a cannibal!
Lol but that's not what I'm saying
I'm just saying that you shouldn't trust them if they are too nice because then they usuallly aren't.
Don't you think that has been overdone and predictable? Maybe Telltale wants us to keep us on our toes for nothing. Why wouldn't Telltale try to switch it up and keep nice people nice?
Because it's TWD. Nice people aren't just nice.
Hey, Omid was just nice.
And look where that got him.
Doesn't mean that Luke can't be a nice guy just because Omid died.
Ok, keep thinking that. Just remember, this is TWD for a reason. It ain't gonna be all nice sunshine and rainbows.
It really is hard to trust people now in TWD. btw zombies, I like the Kenny references!
but you cannot completely trust them yet because of the Pregnant woman who clearly distrusts Clem.
If the writers are clever enough, there will be good things, otherwise all of this ''everything is hopeless'' feeling in TWD is going to get boring and we'll laugh at every new character knowing that most of them won't make till the end of the episode, there's gotta be something to fight for, and as little the reward is, there has to be one.
Thank you. I find it redundant to make every nice guy evil at some point or make every good thing turn bad. It would be unimaginative to think "Oh, he's nice so that means he can't be trusted or he has some evil intentions." It would make the game how some people would call it. Misery porn.
Probably after seeing the whole group against Clementine his instincts told him that Clem is telling the truth so he decides to trust her. Also he seems to trust Pete, and Pete seems to be one of the leaders.
I thought his behaviour to Clem after thinking she's bitten is perfectly normal and understandable. What I can't understand is his attitude change at his camp. From being distrustful and unwilling to get close to Clem, he suddenly becomes one of her staunchest defenders at the camp. I wonder at that sudden change.
Kenny doesn't approve of Luke...
He seems like a big goofball to me who panicked and just wasn't thinking straight when he saw Clem's bite, it's understandable,especially with what happened to Nick's mom.
He seems to have a strong moral compass in him.
I mean, he gets all sad when you mention that you had to kill a dog before. "You don't kill dogs man :[ "
When he calms down back at the house, he comes to his senses and stands up for Clem. If he's not even capable of killing dogs, you think he'd have it in him to let a little girl die?
If you listen in on the entire kitchen conversation, he's really insistent on taking Clem out of the shed as soon as possible, too.
I think he just freaked out at the possibility of clem being bitten, seeing how he was holding her. That combined with the fact that it obviously scared the crap out of him that he might have to put down a little girl. I understood. I think that after the shot he was scared that they just shot clem, he didn't want them to just shoot her without knowing for sure. I also think he gained a lot of respect for her since he asks her about how she survived for so long being as young as she is. Plus it I think he was really impressed at how strong she was, killing a walker and stitching herself up.
Yeah if you say that you're on your own when Luke asks who you're with, Pete will say that he just lost a sister. That indicates that it happened just before Clementine showed up.
