Carla is not solely a chaos agent, but actively anti-establishment, shown by her “snitch” jibe. She sides with anybody who breaks rules. She loves the bad boys. So giving a clue to Robin that Rebecca is turning him in makes sense. But she won’t come right out and say what’s happening because he’s rich which she also hates, so she get jollies from making him squirm. So yeah, she screws with everybody, except Sam. Mostly.
My favorite bit is Rebecca’s thumb up just as the elevator door closes. Such perfect timing and a capper for her reversing course, leaving Sam stupified. Next best is, “Turns out … she works for us.” No acknowledgement of her position or responsibilities, just “she works for us.” Perfect!
Just one to go!
That’s a good point about Carla not having to tell Robin that Rebecca was about to turn him in. I was thinking that if Carla hadn’t done that, then Rebecca rather than Sam would have turned Robin in, and the corporation wouldn’t have given Sam the bar back. So Carla’s being a chaos agent actually led to Sam getting the bar back.
I always get a kick out of how Sam shows the shredded paper to the corporation guy and says, “I mean, look at it.” Ted Danson’s delivery cracks me up. Apparently the corporation actually was able to reconstruct the shredded paper, so Robin shouldn’t have left it there!
This was an exciting episode because viewers can sense the momentum leading to the resolution of the season-long arc. I think season eight as a whole is a high point of the series. But some of the best or funniest individual episodes (like Woody’s Wedding) are yet to come.
