Will Julie spill what she knows? And will the mystery owner of the hand be revealed. Did tom set on fire Rick's place? Tom and Lynette, he says he was in the car listening to the game when Bree's speak was on, and he didn't start the fire. Dylan gets pulled over by a cop. He seems a little too into her. Even stroking her Driver's Licence. He has the circled newspaper article about Dylan. Bree packs to move out, but Susan wants her to stay. She even starts crying. Bree tells her she deals with her emotion in private like a lady.
Carlos gets his blind lead dog. She asks the man who drops of the dog some hilarious questions. Mike comes home from rehab and Susan makes him his favourite meal. When Susan goes up stairs Julie tells mike what Orson said to her. Katherine tells Bree that someone loved their event and wants to hire them for it. Katherine thinks that it's a good idea to set up as a business. Katherine says she needs the money and Bree says she has a baby and she doesn't really want to take it on. Katherine says that she'll do it by herself then. Bree soon realises what Kath is doing but still agrees to do it.
Carlos's dog does not seem to like Gabby. Mike goes round to see Orson to ask him about what he told Julie. Mike asks him out right and Orson starts to cry and tells him that he's sorry.
Gabby goes to bed only to find the dog (Roxy) in her place. Carlos chooses the dog over gabby. Susan (who seems to have grown a HUGE stomach in a matter of two episodes), learns from Mike. Tells her and she goes round there and shouts at him. Bree stands there clueless until Susan tells her. Bree looks dumbstruck. The cop "bumps" into Dylan again at the park. He says he just wants to talk to her and he asks about her mom. He admits to following her. He's Wayne Davis, he's her FATHER! As gabby drops the dog back off at the dog training place the dog chases after her. She tells Carlos that she ran away. She's then back at the widow of the house. Dylan and her father sit looking at each other not knowing what to say to each other. He admits to hitting her mother before. He says he wants a relationship with her. Rick goes the Scarvo restaurant. The matches found at the back of his restaurant are from Scarvo and say it on them. Lynette tries to stop the fighting but she can't. Then Andrew calls 911 and they all end up in a police station. Nick tells Lynette that he misses her
Susan tells mike that they have to move because she can't see Orson everyday. The twins ask why dad is sleeping downstairs. They tell their mother that they over heard the conversation. And that they went to his restaurant on their bikes and they set the fire. Susan talks to Bree and tells her that she can't forgive Orson and he is seen taking a suitcase and leaving. She has thrown him out. Dylan offers to help her mother with invites for the next event but really it's all a ploy. For her to meet her "father" who I am not one hundred per cent sold on yet. Bree puts picture of Orson in bin. We then see Orson all alone in a room crying. Very eventful and answered a lot of questions. Possibly the best episode back since the strike.moreless

Bree and Katherine decide to start a catering business together. Lynette tries to deny her feelings for Rick. Mike learns the truth about his nearly fatal accident. Carlos gets a seeing-eye dog. Dylan meets her estranged father. I really enjoyed all the revelations in this episode. Mike finds out that Orson ran him over! I loved when Susan stormed over to Bree's house and made that scene. It rocked! Teri Hatcher is a pretty good actress, and pretty hot, too. I was so shocked when I saw Orson leave the house with a suitcase. The expression on Teri Hatcher's face was AMAZING. Great episode, definitely. 10/10.moreless

This episode was so good. I cannot believe everything that happened. Julie told Mike about Orson confessing to the hit and run, while he was sleepwalking. Mike doesn't believe it at first, but Orson tells the truth when Mike asks him. Mike tells Susan and she storms down the street and starts a scene in the Hodge home. I did not expect Bree to kick Orson out at the end, as I've always pictured them together forever without any problems, or at least as the new Tom and Lynette. Tom and Rick fight, which is amusing, and I thought something bad was going to happen to Lynette, because she got cancer last time she fell like that. Thankfully, nothing did. This was overall a great episode and a solid 10.moreless

Katherine's Household: Dylan runs into a police officer who seems to have a very deep interest in her and through this very mysterious police officer, she discovers things from her past. Meanwhile, Katherine is starting her very own party planning agency and she sort of blackmails Bree to help her out with it. The mystery this season is finally getting interesting and seeing how Katherine is acting towards Bree, I think she might just end up being the good guy.

Lynette's Household: She goes through the trouble of figuring out who set Rick's place on fire and she has got her sights set on Tom. In this episode, we find out who burned down Rick's place and it is out of character for this certain persona who torched it, but it does make sense. Kudos for catching me off guard!

Gabby's Household: It gets boring with Gabby and Carlos, it's like every week it's the same old Gabby again and at the end of the episode everything just seems to be all peachy. Kill her off. Now.

Susan's Household: Julie confronts Mike with what she heard and Susan eventually discovers a very deep secret that causes her to freak out. I never expected the secret to be reveled so soon, but I guess it was as good a time as any.

Bree's Household: Big problems occur in Bree's newly fixed household as she finds out big secrets and makes drastic decisions. I don't like what they did with the whole situation, but I think it will undo itself.moreless

- Susan: I can't come out my front door every day and see that man. We have to move. Mike: Oh Susan, I know this is difficult. But before you start putting up "For Sale" signs let's just take a step back. Susan: Take a step back from what? He tried to murder you. Mike: I know what Orson did was horrible but I've decided to forgive him. Susan: How can you do that? He put you in a coma. I sat there day after day wondering if you were gonna live. As far as I'm concerned Orson can go to hell. Mike: I've talked to him. Trust me, he's already been there. Susan: Well, that's not enough. He should pay for what he did. He should go to prison. Mike: And what? Leave Bree without a husband? And Benjamin without a dad? You don't want that. Look, I've done some pretty horrible things in my life but you forgave me. Because you knew how much I regretted them. I really believe he's sorry for what he did. So now I have to forgive him. I've just got to. But, I also understand if you can't. Edit
- Susan (to Bree): Mike says I need to forgive Orson. And he's right. I have to find a way to make peace with all of this. But you need to understand...it's gonna be one of the hardest things I've ever done. And like most things in my life, I probably won't do it with much elegance or grace. So if I don't come over to your house for coffee; if I don't smile when the two of you walk by, just please know that I still love you. And as for forgiving Orson, just be patient. I'll get there. Edit
- Mary Alice: If there was one thing Gabrielle Solis would not tolerate...it was a rival, whether she walked on two legs, or four. So when Gabrielle cracked into her bedroom that morning, she'd made up her mind. The bitch...had to go. Edit
