(I am mostly just reading your and mildred_of_midgard's exchanges with great glee. This is MOST EXCELLENT.)
Well, but it's even more complicated than that, right? Philip is super suspicious, yes, but Posa doesn't decide he has to frame himself with his (made-up) letter until Posa thinks Carlos is making a full confession to Eboli, true, but Posa only thinks this because Carlos has gone to Eboli to ask her to warn the Queen -- because Posa started this whole thing of showing Philip the letters in the first place, and never told Carlos that he was doing this OR that he wasn't showing the King a particular semi-incriminating letter from the Queen. Posa, could you just tell someone your plans?!
