Something for thought I haven't seen mentioned yet as a sypnoses on any of the threads.
Now, say your wifey pooh, hubby got the other woman preggers, we already know maria and caesar had a tumultous relationship, and I believe in the end maria was trying to get it together, leave him alone and prepare to have a stable home for the baby.
What has went against the grain is the wife attending caesars company's christmas party alone. This is a big clue in my mind the state of the condition of the hearts involved. What would be the first thing we would do as a married woman if if if given a chance to confront, face, mingle and rub it in to our so called enemy. The Other Woman. Show up at the christmas party, would be a few hours of rubbing it in, laughing, dressing up and looking your best with hubby in tow. NOt to mention the friends and support, just imagine the dynamics involved.
That would explain why Maria opted out of the unit's christmas party. It would also explain why caesar didn't attend. The tensions, arguments between xtina and caesar leading up to the party. He had to figure what messed up situation that would be, he knows enough about females to have figured that one out at least.
It being xtina's alibi just never made any sense to me as some in the media and here are stating. Just doesn't jive in my mind. I think caesar opted out too somewhere around the last few hours leading up to the party, especially when realizing maria wasn't attending and he tried to meet with her secretly and everything went hay wire. Or it could have been premediated at that point on.
I have not made my mind up yet whether it's premeditated or in the heat of anger, confusion and feelings of helplessness in not being able to resolve this threat and embarrassment to him.
I mean for xtina, the party was a legit means and reason she could hang up around maria and glare at the possibly pregnant other woman carrying her husbands child.
