Double Parked (S2E22)

Incident #13: As Carol leaves, Alice scurries two steps behind her and closes the door when Carol leaves.  The first big mystery is why is that door open?  Who the hell opened the door -- or even worse, who left it open?  Did Alice open the door in anticipation of Carol leaving and then run to meet her at the bottom of the stairs?  We really have no idea why the door is initially open!!!  In any case, Alice closes the door when Carol  leaves.  The scene then jumps in time and we see Alice opening the door for Carol!  Wow this was a sneaky way to ALMOST get away with an atrocity, but I was able to catch it!  There are two ways that Alice could be there to open the door for Carol.  First, she could have waited there by the door while Carol was gone.  Second, Carol for some unknown reason rang the doorbell, and Alice ran to answer it.

Now to get back to why the door is initially open, the current best story goes like this:  Alice notices a car parked outside their door (or maybe someone got out and rang the doorbell).  In any case, Alice opens the door.  It is then good manners to leave the door open, letting those in the car know that the occupants of the house are aware of their presence and will be right out.  So what we see in that scene is an open door because Alice has been polite to company as any good slave should be.

Incident #14: Alice makes sandwiches for the protesters.  Wow there's a lot and a large variety.  She also answers the phone because (of course) she's the only one that is able to because everyone is so fucking busy.  So now not only is she keeping everyone fed, she's also working the campaign.  She then takes on the 2nd wife role and orders Peter to go over to a neighbors to get "more petitions and more handbills".

Incident #15: Alice is taking care of Carol because Carol's been on her feet all day.  Alice is seen propping Carol's feet up on two comfy pillows.  No one seems to notice that Alice has probably been on her feet LONGER.  Like a good slave, she doesn't complain and in fact has vigor and energy to spare (at least in front of the camera).
