So I have “A Year in the Life” on the brain again, and because I am in Hermione mode, here’s another really long essay on the revival revolving around the little-discussed fourth main storyline.

READ PART 1: How Luke and Lorelai have a far healthier relationship in AYTIL than in the original series

And, yes, there were four main storylines in AYITL. I love how each of them addresses something different:

Lorelai's storyline has to deal with everything in her life changing, and she is finding that she is stuck in time. Her father has died. Her best friend has left the business they started together. Her longest-serving employee wants to leave. Her daughter is drifting. Her mother is throwing every mistake she ever made in her face. Everything is happening so fast, and she can't quite keep up, and it's terrifying her. By the end of the revival, Lorelai has learned how to move forward with her life.

Emily's storyline deals with the changes in her life after Richard's death, of how to start living alone - truly living alone - after 50 years of marriage. She has to deal with her relationship with Lorelai in a way she could avoid before, because she had Richard to fall back on in regarding her opinions about her daughter. Emily learns throughout the year to become independent and learn to live for herself.

Rory's storyline deals with drifting and the displacement a lot of Millennials have in the world. Life wasn't what was promised her in high school, and through a combination of her own choices and the changing industry, her chosen career has left her behind. Rory has to find her identity all over again, and you see her stumbling through life as she comes to terms with it. This is the one storyline that's left open when everything is said and done.

But there’s that fourth, because there were four people listed in the opening credits after all, and this storyline is so subtle and so entangled with Lorelai and Emily's that you don't realize it for what it is until the very end of the revival, and that's Luke's storyline. His storyline deals with the opposite of what everyone else does, and that's the fear of getting left behind.

It's such an interesting storyline, because it picks up a subtle thread that's woven throughout the original series and tugs on it. You don't even really realize it at first, because unlike the storylines for the the three girls, Luke's doesn't start until "Spring" when Emily informs him about the trust set up in his name.

There has been some criticism of the discussion he and Lorelai have over Michel in "Spring," and about how he snaps at her for not letting Michel push her around. It's the type of behavior he displayed during season 6 that made fans bristle, and it has the same root cause. Why do things have to change? Why can't you be happy with what you have?

LUKE: How have you peaked? The place has been booked solid since you opened.

LORELAI: But it's so small. Just ten rooms and no suites, no mini-fridge and no room to grow.

LUKE: You don't need to grow.

LORELAI: Tell him.

LUKE: Why does everything need to grow? If something's good, keep it the same.

LORELAI: Yeah, but I kinda get what he's saying

LUKE: No, you don't need more. [Snapping]

LORELAI: Okay.

This sort of behavior is actually pretty unusual for a guy who constantly encouraged Lorelai from the very beginning of the series to grow. Luke was one of her very first supporters regarding the Dragonfly and repeatedly told her she is capable of branching out from the Independence Inn and running her own business. He even put $30K of his own money behind that belief before they were a couple. And he has been super proud of her achievements, go insofar as to order back issues of the magazine the Dragonfly was featured in so he could get familiar with the publication. As we saw in "Winter" with Rory's "New Yorker" article, this is an aspect of his personality that hasn't changed over the past nine years.

So why is he balking now?

Part of it is the tendency for Michel to push Lorelai around, and the fact that everyone around Lorelai is forcing her to question her own decisions and this is the breaking point for Luke. He's seen what Emily's constant second-guessing of her choices have done to her, and Michel piling on top of that isn't helping. As he pointed out, Michel has been guilt tripping Lorelai over one thing or another for 20 years. His next sentence was to immediately apologize for snapping, but he's feeling pretty protective at this point. I don't think he meant it in a mean way. Previous times Luke has made similar statements, he's walked them back pretty quickly - such as his protests over the Durham Group wanting to purchase the Dragonfly back in season 5. Back then, his response was largely the same as this: an initial snap judgment, some time to process things, then revisits it from a more rational standpoint. Really, this has been a character trait going all the way back to the beginning of the series.

But here in "Spring," this conversation serves another purpose - especially given its placement in the episode. In Broadway, you tend to have a piece of music where the major players state their desires. In "Hamilton," Alexander Hamilton does this during "My Shot." He doesn't want to throw his away his shot to change the world. Most people's "I want" songs are toward the beginning of the show. However, Aaron Burr's desires are cloaked until well into the second act of the musical. That's when we finally find out that Burr wants to be in the room where it happens. He wants to be part of these history-making decisions rather than remaining on the sidelines.

In "A Year in the Life," this discussion about Michel in the second act of this revival is really Luke's "I want" statement. He wants everything to stay the same, because life for him is good. This is established in "Winter" and why this storyline didn't start there. He and Lorelai are stable and happy, which shows in their relentless bantering and bedtime rollicking. He's the super proud dad, the one rescuing everyone when Kirk's car breaks down, the one providing support for Lorelai at Richard's funeral and when she realizes she's going to therapy with her mother. He's devoted to both Rory and April, as seen by the menu placement of Rory's article and taking several hours (and three dictionaries) to decipher April's letters. This has always been him at his best, and it's about to change.

"If something's good, keep it the same." And this is where we pick up his journey, because the next major scene that Luke has is the one where Emily calls his cell phone and specifically invites him to dinner to tell him about the trust Richard left him, and then we're off to the races.

One thing that the original series subtly points out is that everyone Luke has ever loved or cared for deeply has left him - be it through circumstances out of his control, their own need to grow, or his mistakes involving those people: His mom died when he was young. His dad died of cancer when he was in his 20s. Liz bailed on him, presumably when he was dealing with his sick dad. Rachel came back and left again and again. Anna left and didn't think he was worth telling about his own kid. Nicole bailed when she realized he wasn't all into their relationship. Lorelai left him because of their mistakes regarding April and Christopher. Jess chose his birth father and California over a stable life in Stars Hollow. Rory and April left home and made their own lives in the world.

You have someone who, at the age of roughly 50, is convinced that he will always be left behind, that he isn't worthy enough to stay for. Luke has severe abandonment issues. Yeah, Lorelai and Emily weren't the only ones who needed therapy. It can be argued that out of the four members of the main cast, Luke is the one who needs therapy the most but never gets it - even though part of him recognized that need all the way back in season 4 with the self-help book.

Now you have Richard reviving Luke's insecurities from beyond the grave thanks to the trust. No matter that it's established Luke has a decent amount of money on his own - enough to offer Lorelai a $15K loan out of pocket for termite repairs, to immediately write out a $30K check for the Dragonfly, to drop $100K on a building without any sort of financial issues. He was able to afford renovations to the diner and apartment twice without any sort of financial issue, and helped pay for renovations on the Crap Shack twice (season 6 and at some point between "Bon Voyage" and "Winter".) That really nice stove now in their kitchen isn't cheap by a long shot, and I doubt Lorelai was the one to pick it out or spend the money on it. He's floating the bill for April's education at MIT, and while I'm sure she had scholarships, it's not exactly cheap.

But despite all of that, Richard is claiming through that trust that Luke still isn't doing enough to provide for Lorelai. Don't get me wrong, I think by the time of Richard's death, there is a certain amount of trust and affection between Luke and the Gilmores. Richard included him on the actuary table to begin with, and Emily called Luke a member of the family. Emily is affectionate toward him at the funeral, and while there is some awkwardness, there isn't a ton. His first instinct at Friday Night Dinner is to hug Emily, which speaks to a lot about his character growth there - that the guy who could barely hug Rory in the early seasons of the original series has shed enough of his armor to more easily show physical affection. Yes, Emily tells the therapist that he doesn't often go to FND, but this is also Emily - who has an established pattern of telling people they're not doing enough when they've done all they can. Luke could have gone to every single FND for years and Emily would still claim that he barely shows. I don't think he went as often as Lorelai, but I would wager he went probably once a month - just enough to be familiar with the house since he was wandering about doing stress home repairs at the funeral, but not with Richard's inner sanctuary (as he mentioned to Emily he's only been in there one other time).

Now Luke gets dragged into this real estate scheme and really doesn't protest it. Part of it is knowing that Lorelai and Emily are having issues, and he doesn't want to make things worse. But, deep down, part of him thinks that Richard is right - he isn't doing enough for Lorelai. And that seems to be confirmed in his mind when Lorelai starts pulling away from him. She's lying about therapy, and while they aren't the huge lies she expressed back in season 5, it's still lying. And that just adds to his unvoiced fear that Lorelai will leave eventually him behind. His response? To clam up about the trust. Piling onto all of this is Lorelai’s new belief (no thanks to Emily) that Luke isn’t satisfied with his life, though he made it very clear in “Winter” that he was.

In "A Year In the Life," Lorelai never considered leaving him. It wasn't an option on the table from her perspective. That was all coming from him. Yes, she second-guesses how she treated him, and that her own selfishness led to him having a life he didn't want - hence the surrogacy subplot and their fight in the diner in "Summer" - but she never thought of leaving him. Even at the very beginning of "Fall," when she's babbling to his voicemail, her thoughts are of getting herself straightened out and coming back home. Contrast how Lorelai treats Luke at the beginning of "Fall" versus "Partings." She was going out of her way to avoid him in that episode until their ultimate confrontation that ended the engagement. When she's on the hiking trip in "Fall," she leaves rambling voicemail messages and defends him to the strangers she's hiking with. It's not the actions of someone planning to bail.

As I wrote a couple months ago, "The Wild trip was never about Lorelai figuring out if she was going to end the relationship. It’s Lorelai finding herself so she can deal with all the emotional crap thrown at her in the past year. She goes when she does because she realizes that she’s fighting with her daughter and that if things keep going the way they are, she could very well permanently damage her relationship with Luke."

But Luke doesn't see that, because there is no precedence in his life for this sort of thing. When he sees people growing emotionally, he knows they will walk away from him.

LUKE: You know, there's been some, uh ... Between us, it's been

JESS: Communication problems?

LUKE: Exactly.

JESS: Never experienced that myself. Maybe she wanted a vacation.

LUKE: Yeah, from me. From us.

JESS: No. No.

LUKE: Uh, she's been keeping things from me.

JESS: Guy things?

LUKE: No. Other things. Like, she's been she's been going to a therapist. Do not say, 'It's about time.'

JESS: I did not say it. I thought it, but that's the way my mind works.

LUKE: Ah, we've been arguing, like sniping. And, we never sniped, you know. We never picked at each other in public and put each other down and made other people look at us like, "Oops, what's going on?"

JESS: I don't like you using the word "oops."

LUKE: I don't like me using it either. I never used the word before. Now I'm a guy who snipes at his girl and uses the word "oops."

JESS: Well, when does she get back?

LUKE: Three weeks. It's the longest we've been apart since we got together.

JESS: You might be wrong.

LUKE: You think I'm wrong?

JESS: Hey, I'm just hearing headlines.

LUKE: Lorelai Gilmore decides to hike the Pacific Crest Trail to figure some things out. What's that sound like?

JESS: It sounds like she's leaving you.

LUKE: Yeah.

Way back in season 4, we are treated to two significant excerpts (and some smaller ones) from the self-help book that Luke purchases. The second excerpt is the one that everyone latches onto, because that's when Luke realizes his feelings for Lorelai.

But the first one is the one that comes into the play in the revival. It's the lesson that Luke never learned, and the single thing that causes him to screw up all his significant relationships:

MAN ON CASSETTE: It's going to take work. It's going to take introspection. You're gonna have to learn new things -- how to be your own best friend, how to treat your damaged psyche with a little kindness, how to say, "hey, pal, you're worth it. You mean something to someone, and you deserve love." That is the key. If you crave love, then you deserve love. Say that to yourself. If I crave love, I deserve love. [Luke sighs deeply.] Now, how did that feel coming out? I'll bet it was hard. I'll bet you felt ridiculous. Some of you may even have been incapable of saying it at all. Try again.

LUKE: I'm not incapable. I just haven't been hit in the head with the Oprah stick lately.

And that's the lesson Luke never learned. He honestly doesn't believe he is worth fighting for, and his own sense of self worth is utter crap. It's why he doesn't react to Lorelai's pleadings in "Partings" until it's far too late. It's why he lashes out at her in season 6 and becomes overly controlling. It's why he just goes along with the cruise, gets married, then never really tries to make the marriage work with Nicole. It's why he dealt with April so badly at first and couldn't figure out how to integrate his relationship with his daughter with his relationship with his fiancee and her daughter.

His talk with Jess is the first time that he openly admits that he is terrified of Lorelai leaving him again, and shows us how he really feels about himself - he's tired and lost and doing things he knows is out of character. He feels like he is the root of Lorelai's issues and that he's the one holding her back. But because of this, because he's finally acknowledging his own fears, he's able to address them. This culminates in the reiteration of his initial "I want" statement when Lorelai returns home in "Fall." This is the culmination of his entire story arc, because he's finally taking a stand for himself.

LUKE: I am not unhappy, okay? I am not unsatisfied. You think I'm unhappy and unsatisfied, and I can't convince you that I am not! I mean this right here is all I will ever need. I never thought that it would happen. That you and me that we would happen. But we did. Listen, I know I am not the easiest guy in the world to build a life with and to share a house with, but there is no one who will be more here for you than me. I will never leave. I will never think about leaving. I will do whatever it takes to fix what's wrong."

The speech in "Fall" is beautiful, necessary, but also in a way pointless. Lorelai has already decided they should get married. She never thought of leaving him, which is why she just kind of gives him this baffled look throughout all of it. He wasn't going to change her mind about anything, because it was made up all along.

But what the speech does is put the cap on Luke's storyline and what he learned through his talk with Jess. He finally acknowledges that he as a person is worth fighting for and so is their relationship, then actually does so - which is far different from his actions post-"Wedding Bell Blues" and post-"Partings." Yes, Luke also made a big damn speech at the end of "The Long Morrow," but it was also different. He doesn't put forth the effort to say he will fix whatever is wrong with them, just that he moved too slow. It's capped with him walking away again when Lorelai reveals she slept with Christopher. They never really talk about it in the aftermath, as he just makes barbs at her when they run into each other in the next episode. Luke never went to the effort to really find out what was wrong and to see if there was a chance they could move past this. They eventually do, as they apologize to each other in "Hay Bale Maze," and Luke in "Summer" finds the idea of Lorelai cheating on him preposterous, so clearly everything regarding that was resolved off-screen after "Bon Voyage."

In "Fall," Luke finally fights for his relationship because he's finally fighting for himself. He's not going to be left behind again, and he will do whatever it takes to avoid making that same mistakes again and again. This is when he starts to recognize his own self worth, and for the first time in his life, he is truly all in.

And that's a beautiful storyline - to discover that you are a person worth fighting for. That change doesn't mean you have to be left behind.

10 Movie and TV Show Home Values in Real Life

Whether it’s Lorelei’s house in “Gilmore Girls” or the living room with the leg lamp in “A Christmas Story,” some of the locations in our favorite movies and TV shows are just iconic.

And then there are many homes and living spaces like those in “Friends” and “Home Alone” that seem just palatial. It makes sense to do this from a script writing point of view. It gives the writers, actors and directors the space to play out a grand vision onscreen. However, have you ever wondered what it would actually cost to live in some of those places in real life? We did.

Join us as we embark on a grand tour of homes from the big and small screen alike.

‘Home Alone’

Image: HookenOnHouses.net

There was plenty of room for Kevin McCallister to roam in the house featured in the 1990 holiday classic directed by John Hughes.

The house in suburban Chicago had five bedrooms and three and a half baths where Kevin could hide from the people trying to rob his house. It’s a really nice house as depicted in the movie. But how much would it cost in real life?

According to the “Home Alone” wiki, the movie novelization states Kevin’s father Peter is a successful businessman. If he had held onto the house, it would be worth $598,263 based on fair market value in that area for 4,243 square feet.

Home values often rise faster than the inflation rate, particularly in a seller’s market, but Zillow home value data only goes back so far. It’s not perfect, but in order to get an approximation of what the home would have been worth, I’m using the inflation rate.

The home would have been worth $324,316.97 when the movie was released in December 1990, assuming the only factor driving the price up was inflation. However, one way to really see your home value rise in a way a successful businessman like Peter McCallister would really appreciate is to have it featured in a blockbuster movie.

According to Zillow, the home in Winnetka, Illinois, is actually likely worth $2,079,433 today. There’s clearly some markup because the movie was shot there.

‘The Addams Family’

Image: 21ChesterPlace.com

They’re creepy, kooky, mysterious and spooky, and they happen to have a seriously cool mansion. That’s right – I’m talking about “The Addams Family.”

This house is a little bit awesome, because it definitely has a look that Morticia and Gomez would be proud of. The history of the exterior is well chronicled. The 21 Chester Place address that’s used to set the scene in the show is actually located in the West Adams District of Los Angeles.

This one poses an interesting challenge to try and find a value. Longtime fans of the show will notice there’s no third floor or tower. The show used a matte painting for the exterior for every episode after the pilot once they had their inspiration. In addition, the house was never sold. It was eventually donated to the Catholic Church, which eventually gave the land to Mount St. Mary’s University.

However, that doesn’t mean some enterprising people haven’t tried to do their own real estate evaluation. The Movoto Real Estate blog calculated that the third floor and tower would add 2,400 square feet, for a total of 14,400 square feet. Based on Los Angeles real estate prices, the current value would be $5,846,400. In 1964 dollars, that comes out to $736,665.49. That house is spooky expensive.

‘Friends’

Image: HookenOnHouses.net

On “Friends,” they conveniently avoid the problem of how much the characters’ apartment would cost by explaining that Monica inherited a rent-controlled apartment from her grandmother and never told the landlord that grandma died.

That has to be illegal, but it’s brilliant screenwriting because it gives them a lot of flexibility. Monica and Rachel were paying just $200 per month, which suddenly makes a two-bedroom apartment in the West Village district of New York seem a lot more reasonable on the salary of a coffee barista and a sparsely employed chef. How much would it really cost for Monica’s apartment?

A quick search of Trulia shows that you can expect to spend a minimum of $3,400 per month on an apartment in that area. And that price probably doesn’t include the gorgeous windows and balcony access.

Bottom line: If your job’s a joke and you’re broke, the only way you’ll afford a West Village apartment is with a little TV magic.

‘16 Candles’

Image: HookenOnHouses.net

The Chicago area appears to be a favorite setting for John Hughes. He moved there as a teenager. Before that, he’d grown up in the Detroit area (hence Cameron Frye’s Gordie Howe jersey in the next movie on the list).

Nice real estate near the big city is expensive. The house from “16 Candles” is no exception. When the house was listed for sale around June of last year, the owners wanted $1.5 million.

While it will cost you $141 per square foot to get a home in the area, there’s definitely a movie markup here. Based on square footage, the home should have cost around $435,500 today if the movie hadn’t been filmed there.

‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’

Image: DNAInfo.com

Cameron Frye had the coolest house in our final John Hughes movie of this list. It had a very distinctive modern look with floor-to-ceiling glass windows. It also didn’t hurt that there was a Ferrari to ogle at. But like a few other houses on this list, the story behind the real estate listing holds its own intrigue.

Although it looks very cool, the windows made the place harder to sell. It turns out that single-pane windows aren’t great from an insulation perspective, making it hard to keep the house a comfortable temperature. Also, it was strangely divided into two parcels of land.

This caused the listing price of the home to fall from $2.3 million when it was originally listed after the owners died in 2009 to $1.65 million in 2011, and it was in danger of being torn down.

It was finally sold in 2014 for just over $1 million. The owners are undertaking a major renovation.

‘Full House’

Image: Zillow.com

The home from “Full House” sold last year for $4 million. Well, not the home from the show. That was a soundstage. The home that serves as the backdrop in the exterior shots sold for an inflated price, even by San Francisco standards.

The house is 2,484 square feet. That gives the house a value of $1,381,104 based on the square footage. If anyone wants to give me the $2.6 million markup for being the Full House exterior, my response is going to be “You got it, dude!”

‘A Christmas Story’

Image: AChristmasStoryHouse.com

One of my mom’s absolute favorite movies during the holiday season is “A Christmas Story.” I couldn’t let this post pass without knowing what the house in that movie was worth. The really cool thing about this particular house is that you could legitimately buy the place without drawing a Hollywood paycheck.

The house where Ralphie listened to “Little Orphan Annie” and learned to always drink his Ovaltine is actually in Cleveland. A fan purchased it on eBay in 2005 for $150,000. It has since been turned into a shrine to the movie, complete with museum tours.

Super fans can even sleep where Ralphie and Randy did for as little as $395 per night. The upstairs floor has been converted. The price per night does vary with the seasons. If you want to stay Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, it’ll cost you $1,995 per night.

‘Clueless’

Image: ImNotAStalker.com

One thing I feel comfortable saying about Alicia Silverstone’s character in “Clueless” is that she probably had no idea how much it cost to live in that mansion.

The Encino, California, house had seven bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. Who knows why you’d need 10 bathrooms in a house with seven bedrooms, but why not? It’s 9,441 square feet on a two-acre lot.

Basing solely on square footage (not accounting for the amenities in the house), it’s worth $3,833,046 currently. In July 1995, that would have translated to nearly $2.4 million.

‘Batman’

Image: Thrillist.com

Batman is one of the cooler superheroes around. That’s a fact in my mind. The best thing about him is that his status is attainable. Sure, he’s a gazillionaire, but at least his abilities are based on skills and technical prowess rather than mystical or sci-fi powers. I had to check out what Wayne Manor would cost.

As it turns out, someone totally went ahead and did the math. The Movato blog puts the cost of the Caped Crusader’s digs at just north of $32 million. It’s not just the 42,500 square feet of space, either. We have to take into account the multilevel garage, ballroom, game room, library and laboratory. Of course, it includes the services of Alfred.

One of the things that was most interesting about this is actually putting a real-life location to Gotham City. They chose Chicago, although in the movies, New York and Pittsburgh have also been used, to name just a couple.

‘Gilmore Girls’

Image: Truila.com

Throughout the show’s seven seasons, the houses of the characters played a key role in setting the stage for the events that happened to Lorelai, Rory and the gang.

How much would it really cost to live in Stars Hollow? An enterprising writer from Trulia grabbed some coffee worthy of Luke’s Diner and set about finding out by comparing the homes in the show with those in the Connecticut town it’s based on.

Sookie had the most expensive home on the list, with her three-bedroom, two-bathroom house coming in at $685,000 when the Trulia article was written last year, and Lorelai and Rory’s house came in at $445,000. Real estate in the Northeast doesn’t come cheap.

Do you have a movie or TV show home you’d like to live in? Let us know in the comments. What did we leave off the list?
