When everyone's gone, Grace states firmly, "I will not sing. I will not wear a dress." Luke: "What?" Grace: "Those are the terms." Luke smiles to himself; he hasn't turned around to look at her: "So you're saying yes?" She adds, "And it has nothing to do with that asinine threat. I will do all the breaking up around here, got it?" She grabs her stuff and leaves. She gives him a bit of a shove in the back as she walks past him. Luke: "Absolutely." You know, I may be reading too much into it, but I can't help but think the writers are planting little seeds of some really unacceptably abusive behaviour on Grace's part, what with the cruel nicknames for Luke and the occasional acts of physical aggression. I don't know if I want them to go there or not. I think it would be a very interesting storyline that hasn't been done to death, but I just don't want Grace to be that person. I do wish Luke would call her on her abusiveness, even if it's relatively mild. If you think I'm overstating the case, reverse their sexes and see if you still think so. If Luke were calling her insulting names and physically pushing her around, people would be up in arms.
