(Spoilers) Karma’s A Bitch for Lynette Scavo... Rewatching the show, I noticed the uncanny link between Lynette pretending Parker had cancer to get him a spot at the yoga class daycare, and her actually ending up getting diagnosed with the disease later on in the series. Could it have genuinely been karma, the producers way of foreshadowing the events that would unfold, or just a sheer coincidence?
