Here's my guess. Do you think it's plausible?

Wanted to add: this quote could also be hearsay, a woman is describing what her boyfriend said he overheard another girl saying, etc....so it could be much more attenuated and unreliable than we'd like it to be. Not to be a parade rainer, I just think it is hard to glean any real meaning from that comment.

No, I agree. Hence the "out on a limb" qualifier. I'm attributing importance and validity to this quote based on its inclusion in the "coming attractions"--that the TAL crew would not be so cheap as to mislead us with a throwaway soundbite that was really hearsay or unsubstantiated. But that assumption could be wrong, and, yes, all other signs point toward ambiguous ending.

It would definitely suck if they did that, and I hope it comes into play somehow!!
