In the show, Luke is a rich, spoiled Newport Beach socialite who does not have much of a tolerance for outsiders, as shown by his fight with another character, Ryan Atwood (who came from Chino), in the pilot episode. However, Luke later reformed his ways and became good friends with Ryan after he was shot at a party by another person.

The affair was later discovered by Marissa. At the end, Luke became depressed and decided to leave Newport Beach for Portland. He joked in his last scene of the season: "Welcome to Portland, bitch," a reference to one of his first lines in the show on the pilot episode: "Welcome to the O.C., bitch."
