I watched II today. I noticed that in the final scene where Michael is sitting alone outside at his compound he is wearing a wedding ring.
Good catch, Ili... I just noticed that the other day when it was on cable. I think it was more of a statement about Michael being in a total state of denial and unreality, rather than a precursor to anything.
At that point he had taken Kay's children from her, closed the door in her face, but he still refused to believe he was not a married man. After all his excuse for all his criminal behavior was always that he did it to protect his family.
Evenn in III when Kay shows up remarried, he is wanting her for himself.
