The other question I have is re Luke's remark at the end about how "things change", couldn't tell from his and Lorelai's expressions how we are to read this. Does it mean he's given up the boat and a lot of his closed off clinging to his past ways and is willing to be a better romantic partner? Or does it mean he's given up his dream of finishing his Dad's boat and the dream of finally being with Lorelai?
