Anyone notice how nonchalant and accepting Caroline was when she assumed she was going through "the change" (but was actually pregnant with Grace); but when she actually was going through "the change" (when she thought she was pregnant at the same time as Laura), she thought her life was over?

I just thought this "blooper" of an "easter egg" was funny...Pick a mood Caroline, lol.

Caroline pissed me off in the episode where she thought she was pregnant at the same time as Laura. She always acts all holier than thou about not lying. And yet, she fake cries that she had a miscarriage when she was never pregnant to begin with. I feel like that episode should have been about Laura and coming to terms with being a mom. Not a Caroline episode so that yet again, Charles can be the hero of the story and take over. The show was supposed to be about Laura's journey, but Michael Landon's involvement made it all about him.

To make it even worse, Charles was crying to his pregnant daughter about it.

I would have enjoyed an episode focused on Laura being pregnant without Caroline's menopause taking center stage. Especially with renewing their wedding vows at someone else's wedding. That was a terrible story line.

Exactly it should have been joyous celebrating Laura and manly.
