[[WMG: Charlotte had ''neither'' a miscarriage ''nor'' an abortion ''nor'' a false reading: she had an ectopic pregnancy.]]
False positives on pregnancy tests are rare, she didn't seem to want an abortion (saying that the baby will definitely arrive), and while she did seem disappointed that she wasn't going to have a baby, she didn't seem sad in a grief sort of way. As such, maybe it was an ectopic pregnancy, which is what happens when an egg gets fertilised in the fallopian tube and starts to develop.

Ectopic pregnancies result in a positive pregnancy test, but they always require surgery to remove the fetus, since they can never be viable. As such, an ectopic pregnancy generally isn't considered as sad as a miscarriage (because with a miscarriage, there had originally been a chance of a baby, whereas no such chance exists in an ectopic pregnancy).

This may also seem why Charlotte wanted to keep the baby and was disappointed that there was no baby, but Angelica still remained an only child -- having one ovary removed means it's harder (though not impossible) to conceive.

[[WMG: Dil has colic]]
Dil is shown to have trouble sleeping, very smelly poops (and in a large amount), tends to squeeze himself up, and cries terribly. All of these are symptoms of colic.
* To add to this it is shown that Dil and Tommy commonly share bottles. Newborns should never drink the same milk/formula as 1 year olds, as its too harsh on their stomachs. Didi and Stu, due to their own stupidity, are giving Dil colic by lazily giving him the same bottle as Tommy

to:

* It would explain how Stu is able to afford such nice things and not have to get a "dead-end job" like Drew despite many of his inventions being hit-or-miss. That grill that Doug accidentally broke in "Doug Needs Money" may very well have been made by Stu himself.




to:

* Further supporting this theory is some dialogue from "Tommy's First Birthday"; when Stu volunteers himself and Drew to substitute for the no-show puppeteers, Lou asks them what happened the last time they put on a puppet show (which resulted in Stu having a broken arm and Drew having a black eye). Stu tells him that he and Drew were eight and nine years old at the time.

[[WMG: Tommy really WAS sick in "Slumber Party," but it wasn't caused by the open window.]]
He had a mild 24-hour flu (the classic symptoms of which ''are'' fever and throwing up), which he caught before the start of the episode. It just wasn't symptomatic yet. The cold from the open window and Tommy's resulting lack of sleep brought it to the surface.



Chaz is Rodolfo (he even has the right type of mustache), Drew is Marcello, and Stu is Colline (with his disco suit being Colline's overcoat). [[TheLostLenore Melinda]] in turn would be a manifestation of Mimì, and Charlotte would be a manifestation of Musetta. As for Schaunard, [[DecompositeCharacter he seems to be split between]] [[MasculineGirlFeminineBoy Betty and Howard]]. This would essentially make Didi a CanonForeigner. [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg And Jonathan is Alcindoro.]]

[[WMG: Chaz and Chuckie are related to Muriel Finster of ''Recess''.]]
* Well, that explains a lot. If they're related to someone like that, no wonder Chaz is a neurotic wreck and Chuckie is scared of everything from the dark to oatmeal. It's also possible that Muriel is Chaz's father's sister or other relative. Notice that Chaz's dad is sort of a tough guy who doesn't buy into child psychology (see "Finsterella" and "The Family Tree.") Why? Because he and Muriel grew up like that, of course.

[[WMG: Chaz is half-Jewish and Chuckie is a quarter Jewish.]]
* As Chaz's character page points out, he has some AmbiguouslyJewish traits and even says "Oy gevalt!" in one episode. In the Passover special he says "We're not really Jewish," but even that wording might imply that to some extent they are Jewish, just not full-fledged. Maybe Chaz is half-Jewish on his father's side, which means he technically isn't Jewish according to traditional law, and has never practiced the faith and culture as much as Tommy and his family have either, but still has the heritage.

** Most likely Betty is Schaunard, since she has his brash, outgoing personality. He's the only one who decided to reincarnate as a woman. Maybe Howard is Benoit, compensating for his past-life womanizing and adultery by becoming a mild-mannered husband content to live in his wife 's shadow.

When she was young, Lucy gave up her singing career to complete her studies. Randy saw this effect it had on her, so he promised Lucy that this would never happen to her again; he keeps working at a job he hates in order for Lucy to have the time and money to pursue her dreams, have a balanced work/home life, and still have enough time for her children.

* This makes a lot of sense if you consider the insane adventures that the babies have, mostly when Angelica's not around--they do things that would kill any normal baby, and their parents never notice they've gone missing. Imagine that the babies are toys Angelica plays with when she's at her aunt and uncle's, and when she's not there she's imagining them having crazy adventures. When she is there, she's mostly in charge of the situation.
