Both Pen and Lisa believe at first that Roxy is a female figure: Garcia is convinced that she is his girlfriend (she also says it to JJ in 12x3); Lisa thinks that she is his daughter. But there is a not so little difference: while Luke wants Penelope to believe it, he doesn't imagine that Lisa does.
[12x1/12x4 vs 13x12]
The way both Penelope and Luke introduce Kevin to Sam and Penelope to Lisa is so similar.
Penelope: "Uh, Sam, this is Kevin. We work together. Kevin, this is Sam."
Luke: "Lisa, this is Penelope Garcia. We work together at the BAU. Penelope, this is Lisa Douglas."
So, isn't weird that Luke introduces Penelope the same way Penelope introduces her ex-boyfriend? She probably should add the romantic past they shared... like Luke should add just a "my friend". They are friends (in a particular way) at that point.
But here the differences between Kevin reaction and Penelope's seeing their love person in a romantic context with another. Kevin is jealous, while Penelope is happy for Luke.

Things that drive me mad:
we saw
(and also the kiss!!! Don't let me talk)
So are you telling me this is not Penelope interrupting her boyfriend working meeting with that woman, because he forgot his sweater and outside it’s a bit too cool? And, of course, he has to introduce her to the woman.
Penelope
*explaining to Lisa that Luke is totally not her type, adding a lot of unnecessary details*
"... and we're strictly work colleagues. That's all. Yeah. Yeah"
Luke "Yeah"
Penelope, later *staring at their pic in her phone with melancholy*
Penelope, later *pratically admitting she thinks he is handsome*
Penelope, later *pratically admitting she likes him*
Penelope, later *saying yes to Luke, who asked her a date, like she could start to fly*
Luke "Maybe I could take you out to dinner"
Penelope "Yeah"
Luke "Yeah?"
Penelope "Yeah"
Luke "We'll eat"
Penelope "I... Yeah"
Luke "Cool"

Bonus:
Penelope, before "If you must know, I hung out with my boyfriend, who is super hot and awesome and totally in love with me"
Luke "That's cool..."
Exactly, she described Luke, when she was talking about her super hot boyfriend during their first scene together. Stephen King calls it "presque vu" (the right opposite of a deja vu). 🤗
Still trying to survive at this episode
My garvez mind: Why Luke has to specify, telling Matt about his blind date, that this last was interrupted by Garcia?
I’m trying to stop myself to write another ff where at this point of the episode Matt knows that Luke has a crush (at least) on Penelope, because I can’t understand why he has to say that. I know that probably it is just my mind. Because this line sounds like “oh, the date got interrupted by Garcia, can you believe it? Right when I’m trying to forget her, she appears in all her spendour, and she was so fucking nice with my date”
Can someone please explain me why it’s so hard, for me, to watch (re-watch) the episodes with Lisa (especially the first, 13x12) even now, that I know they (Luke and Lisa) will break up and Luke will ask a date to Penelope?
I’m right now at that point of my rewatch and I can’t do like other people, totally jumping the episode, but I can’t stand to see/hear Luke says to Matt “I can’t stop think about her”, especially because he will not say anithing about Lisa for 8 (EIGHT) episodes and then, in other occasions, he won’t seem so taken, so...
Sorry for the rambling.
1. Introducing your coworker to a possible romantic partner and accidentally forget to add that it's not (or it wasn't) just a coworker for you.
2. Penelope was kind and sweet with all the girlfriends of the men she liked/was in love with. She didn't behave with Lisa as Kevin did with Sam, in a selfish and jealous way. She just talked in a weird way about her relationship with Luke but never tried to block the stories of Luke, Derek or Kevin.
3. The name of one Kevin's girlfriend is Lisa:
I’m going to analyze an episode that for me was like a stab directly in the heart.
But there was garvez stuff there, so...
