    Great episode! I loved the blackout! Haha, Gabby and Victor in the elevator! Why would Gabby want to have sex with a guy who's like 20 years older than her?! Anyway, great episode. =]moreless

    This episode is just plain hilarious, it's my favourite from season three. Those, who love the major humour around Susan, should enjoy it. Of course, there is Gabby jumping on and kicking a blackmailer, and also Carlos "revealing some not so nice-to-know secrets" to Mike, but the highlight is definitely the dinner scene with Susan, Mike, Ian and Maggie. The two guys together with the one woman they are interested in is already a promising sign for things going wild, and there comes Maggie (a friend of Susan and supposed date for Mike). The game begins; as Mike keeps ensuring Maggie, he is the worst kind of scum, Susan is doing everything to draw a prettier picture of her ex. If you haven't laughed hard enough so far, there comes the dubious cake scene to top it all.
    To sum it up, I'd truly recommend 'God, that's good' to everyone who had missed it.moreless

    Since the beginning, we can see the the lot of potencial that this episode has!

    The first scene when Susan throws something to the floor in the darkness and Carlos-Eddie scene were hilarious!

    I loved the scene in Lynette house with the food. Tom gets so angry! XD "More, please...XD" Great. The rest of the episode has this kind of good scenes between Lynette and Tom. Lynette should not do that, and Tom should not ask Lynette not to do it! It's bad, that Lynette ignore Tom, it was his restaurant so tecnicaly, it is logical that he gets angry. I hated the idea of Lynette falling for the other guy. I know it is normal that she confussed felings but I hope that she and Tom don't get problems.

    Gabi had his hilarious part aswell. When she is running and fighting the boy for exemple. Her final act was beautiful. She said that she was gonna marry him, I think that it was too much, but was a great act for Victor.

    Eddie had a touching moment. "I was not happy since a long time ago". She is getting out her most human part. When Carlos saw that he has not a future with Gabi that was... a bad thing! I guess.

    Susan was so funny! "I cannot choice between the cakes! XD" She give a punch in the leg to the girl! It was so plain hilarious. The final was great! The fight, I has to be so difficult choice between two persons you love.

    The whole boy in the freezer was pointless... I don't know what has to do with the story! And I have to finish saying that the final narration about power... was by far one of the best in the season.moreless

    This episode was definitely not one of Desperate Housewives best. I actually found the Mrs. McCluskey and the dead body in the freezer plot to be a little silly. What drew me to this episode was the new engagement between Gabrielle and Victor, and Susan's decision to choose either Mike or Ian. It wasn't fun to see Mike being so... silly about the whole mess, like telling Ian that he kissed Susan, that annoyed me and turned me away from that storyline to. So I was left with Gabrielles engagemet to Victor, which viewers saw very little of. The absence of Marcia Cross' character, Bree is definitely felt, however that can't be helped, and definitely beats a useless replacement, but Nicollette Sheridan stepping into a leading role as Edie is a wonderful idea! I am really loving her romance with Carlos at the moment! Heres hoping it lasts!moreless

    • Peri Gilpin's appearance as Maggie Gilroy, the man-hungry wedding cake caterer has a substantial likeness to her previous starring role as Roz Doyle in "Frasier". Edit
    • While Gabrielle and Victor are having sex in the elevator, the power is out and there are no lights. Victor makes a point to close the door on the emergency light. How then does the security camera take such clear photos? Edit

    • Carlos: Edie, what are we doing here? Edie: Checking out a house. Carlos: I told you, I'm not looking to buy right now. Edie: Well, who's talking about buying anything? I... am giving it away. Carlos: Edie, we cannot have sex in here. It's someone else's bed! That's just wrong! Edie: Look, we can't use my place. And we can't use yours. But I'll be damned if I am gonna pay for a hotel room when there are all of these empty houses all over town that I have the keys to. Mary Alice: (narrating) Though reluctant at first, Carlos soon saw the wisdom in Edie's plan. Secret affairs are a lot like real estate. The three keys to success are location... location... location. Edit
    • Susan: Thanks a lot. Now Maggie thinks you're Charles Manson. Mike: I don't care. I love you. Susan: Don't say that. Mike: It's true. I remember everything now. I was on my way to propose to you when I got run over. Susan: I don't wanna talk about it. Mike: I do. What would you have said? Susan: You know what I would have said. It doesn't matter now. Mike: The hell it doesn't, Susan. If you can look me in the eye and tell me that when we kissed you felt nothing then I'll just go. But only if you can say that and really mean it. Can you? Edit
    • Mike: I don't believe this. You are setting me up? Susan: You need to move on, okay? Mike: I don't wanna move on. I came here to see you. Susan: Well, I'm not available. So, if you feel like kissing someone tonight, point those lips at Maggie. Edit
