The table that was arranged for Luca wasn't a Family Table for a few reasons. The first reason was that every Family Table was already occupied because the visitorial attendance at this season's gala was quite overflowing. The second reason was that Luca's presence was more doubted than anticipated, so special arrangements for an important driver like him were overlooked.
In this case, what was left now were Compound Tables, and the organizers believed this wasn't ideal hospitality. However, in the moment of contemplation and problem-solving, someone offered Luca to share his Family Table with him.
