I swear, if Julie dies...
I really hate it when shows kill off characters like that, because it taints the previous seasons. If I see "Bang" again, all I'll be able to think is "yay, Julie and Edie survived the hold up... too bad they die in a few years anyway." And this show, as much as S6 is an improvement over S5 so far, it really is trying to hard to ruin characters. Orson was bad enough, but Carlos has had a five year long story arc involving him becoming a nicer human being, and it's being shot to hell in a time span of two episodes (wasn't he the voice of reason to Gabby's insanity for the past few months), and Katherine is losing it over Mike, of all people (like I said earlier, she handled her daughters death way better than that), and Julie is just becoming a mess (and that's if she doesn't die). |

I doubt Julie dies. Cherry wouldn't do that his precious Teri Hatcher. It makes sense for it to be Karl or the guy Julie was fucking (I'm drawing a
blank here).

It's supposed to be a major character, a minor one, and someone who has been around since season 1.
I'd say major: probably one of the husbands, or Karl. minor: probably one of the kids/neighbors season 1: another one of the kids, or Karl |

I'm on Carlos's side. Lynette handled everything ass backwards. And Carlos has to worry about his family first. She'll never know how he
would've handled the news of her pregnancy because she didn't give him the opportunity. The fact that she jeopardized the company's welfare for her
own is reason enough for his outrage. It's not his company. He didn't start it. He only manages it. And he's as expendable there as Lynette so
her fuck is his fuck up. His treatment of Lynette is perfectly legal. She didn't perform her duties as instructed. Carlos has grounds for firing her
besides that.

That's WHY she didn't tell him. I really wouldn't care except that this isn't the Carlos that we've seen for the majority of the show and it just annoys the hell out of me to see him switch gears like this. |

I believe he will come out the loser on this one. Just watch for the woman that should have gotten the promotion. Lynette will make sure she now knows. Carlos could be in very hot water. Also, it would not be hard to prove that Carlos set her up with a project with unrealistic expectations. Granted, this is a show, but in the real world, Carlos wouldn't stand a chance if this went to court. |

If Lynette wins easily, then this show is bogus. The only "witness" to Carlos firing the other woman for being pregnant would be the plaintiff,
Lynette. I was involved in a discrimination/harassment suit, and they are hard as hell to win or prove. Carlos has an attorney advising him, I doubt he will
blow it.
BTW, I do think it's totally in character for Carlos to be a shit. He was warm and fuzzy when down on his luck, but now that he's nearly back on top, his true self is coming out. Besides, he DOES have some reasons to be very pissed at Lynette, especially with the guy & Florida, and Lynette screwing with that. As for the deaths, I am going with: 1. (day one) Julie 2. (major) Katharine 3. (minor) Spoiler tagged in case the earlier spoiler was correct, which I kind of think it could be. |

I'm just surprised Carlos is doing this to Tom. I thought they were the closest out of the husbands.

Carlos did mention that going back to work for a big corporation would turn them back into what they were before... and it seems like it is doing just that.

Also with "At Will" employment means you can get fired for anything provided you are told why you're being fired. Lynette could be fired for making personal calls at work if they document it. It is not a stretch that Carlos could have Lynette fired for not completing a task in the time he requested. At the end of the day she didn't get the work done. |

Well, Lynette's retaliation for Carlos would be that it was an unreasonable demand. Personally, I think that if it went to court, Lynette would win. As
soon as the judge and/or jury sees that Carlos fired a pregnant woman after telling the same woman he didn't promote someone else because she was pregnant,
he'd be sunk. Her defense is that she was concerned for her job and as the only bread winner in the family, her family's welfare. She doesn't have
to disclose she's pregnant, there is no law about that. Plus, if she's really smart, she can say she didn't want to announce her pregnancy because
at her age, the risk of losing the baby is much greater.

^^^You're stating this as if Carlos wouldn't have top notch legal talent that would obliterate Lynette and the pregnant woman that preceded her in a
lawsuit. If anything the other pregnant lady has much more of case than Lynette. Carlos has much firm ground to stand on than Lynette. Lynette was promoted
and underperformed. His legal staff totally covered their asses with the firing. Unless Lynette produces an email, voicemail message, or written memo about
Carlos' bias it is just hearsay. Lynette needs concrete proof that he would've withheld her promotion because of her pregnancy. She doesn't have
any.
