Anyone knows if there is any significance in the door knob that Mrs. Kim gave Lorelai and why she made a point in stressing that it belonged to John Adams?

I might be pulling at straws but here are some possible similarities:

John Adams Source: Miller Center of Public Affairs
2nd President of the USA.
Nickname: “Atlas of Independence”
Help negotiate the “treaty of peace” during the Revolutionary war

Lorelai Gilmore
The 2nd Lorelai
Very independent woman
Brokered peace between Lane and Mrs. Kim

Door knobs give access to a home through the doorway.



This all seems very deep to me. Somewhere embedded in these two things (John Adams and the door knob) is the key to the message but I don’t want to make a fool of myself and guess what it could be

I also found this interesting considering Miss. Patty’s and Babette’s conversation about the rooster, the hen and the beagle in IAKHMR.



Do you think the writers were trying to make a connection between this reference in IAKHMR and WYBMLG?
