Thanks a lot, but it still makes me wonder what it is, maybe this law is being applied to me as well.

I imagine the show explains the "law" at some other point.

It was mentioned twice in the same episode, but I couldn't find the meaning both in the show and the cosmos-like information source, google.

Look at this. I didn't read the whole thing, and I don't watch the show. But it seems the show is using it as a shorthand for the mystery between fate and causality. Free will and determinism.

Mel made her husband French toast. This made him late for work. Since he was late, he did not check the tires on the ambulance he drives. Later, a tire failed and the ambulance rolled over and a patient died.

So, did Mel making French toast make this person die? If she had stayed in bed and he ate a bowl of cereal instead, would that change the dead person's fate? Or was he marked for death and he would have died by some other occurrence of events?

Thanks a million for your endeavor, and I can't thank you enough. I also felt stupid even though I watched the part in the show, and I clearly remember she mentioned french toast made the accident, but I thought it's not related to that. But definitely it is, and I realized it's only this drama specific expression, not common. And as you said, I think it denotes the relationship of an accidental thing like making toast to a person's fate.
