    This wasnt a bad episode, i am still getting used to the five year jump it is hard to adjust to the fact that are characters are in completly different placs then they were in season 4, This week the storylines seemed pretty average, i seriously do not like suans new boyfried he is soooo annoying.. I alos dont like frumpy gaby she is not as fun as she used to be.

    Lynettes sons are also pretty annyoing, And why was orson being so horrible to bree making her make him a pot roast...

  • Season five's second stopover in Wysteria Lane isn't much more eventful than the rather disappointing first.

    6.5
    "Fair"
    Before we begin, let's lament the fact that Shawn Pyfrom continues to get all of about two minutes of screen-time per episode (sorry Marc Cherry, suits do absolutely nothing for me… get the boy playing pre-coital video games in bed with his super hot boyfriend again, thanks!) Anyway... season five's second stopover in Wysteria Lane isn't much more eventful than the rather disappointing first: honestly, what did we really get to sink our teeth into this week? Susan agonising over her Queer as Folk USA boyfriend's new found rapport with her ex-husband? Well, while it at least made a refreshing change from the 'let's fight over the woman like a pair of Neanderthals' thread that usually comes of these things, I'm genetically pre-disposed to hating the whole storyline anyway as (a) it involves Mike Delphino who I've had about enough of and (b) we all know this is all just going to end in Susan's – what is it, fourth or fifth? – reunion with her so-called 'soulmate'. I'm tired of it, we're tired of it, hell, even they're tired of it. Cherry really dropped the ball by separating the pair rather than taking the brave leap and killing Mike off, or even just doing a Monica and Chandler and keeping them together. It's not such a crazy notion, you know. What else? Gabrielle mourns days gone by when she could swan around 'important' parties looking beautiful. Boo bleeding hoo. I was hoping we could skip all the self-pity and explore the Solis' family life a little more, especially given how well executed their storyline was in the season premiere. Too much to ask, it seems. Instead, we get a highly predictable tread through narratalogical shores of old, although it must be acknowledged that the pay-off sequence between the couple in their car is rather nicely done. Elsewhere, Edie's new husband continued on his journey down the 'whack out' highway with his admonishing of Mrs McClusky which, while having its moments, was completely telegraphed from the get go (it must surely be only the character herself who didn't see the return of her cat as an inevitability following her apology), and Porter proved to be a poetry fan – a nice, surprising slice of character development – but, of course, blundering Lynette had to ruin it all. In, you guessed it, desperately predictable style. Would it kill the writers to throw a few curveballs at us? Does the show really need to be this, well, safe? They do flex their muscles and show their mettle with poor Bree's problems with her husband; their closing scenes in particular are an echo of the triumphs of old, brilliantly acted and directed by all and, it must be noted, decidedly disturbing. Orson's cold commands, his insistence that his tired partner tend to his needs, is completely unexpected and partially saves the episode as a result. More of this please guys, and less that could've been written in your sleep, thanks.
  • It had some really great storylines and funny moments mixed in with plots that were a little boring.

    8.5
    "Great"
    Gabby trying to maintain her social life was classic Gabby. The scene where she tried to find a way to fix the situation was so funny and it was hillarious that she ended up just running away. Carlos' cluelessness made these scenes even better. I also loved the scene where Carlos let her know that they were better off being poor and happy. The Lynette storyline was decent but it seems like this type of storyline had been done before, but it was funny to see Lynette being desperate to see what was going on in her son's life. The one thing I didn't like about it was when she signed the email love mom. I don't think she would be that stupid. Bree's storyline was ok but it was a little boring. I kind of expected her to be embarressed by him and not be associated with him after he got out of jail. With Susan it was pretty funny how MJ and then Mike found out about the new guy in Susan's life. Bringing Karl into it was pretty funny. I loved that Mrs. MuClusky had a bigger role and it was really interesting to see what Dave was capable of.
  • Bree has her own book coming out

    In this episode of Desperate Housewives, the following happens. Jackson and Mike met for the very first time. We learn that Carlos gives massages to people, in their house. One of Lynette's sons believes he has met the girl of his dreams online only to discover that he is in fact talking to his mother. Orson and Bree have a few disagreements, especially after she realises a book by the name of Mrs Van de Camp. When she returns home after midnight from an event he demands that she makes him a pot roast which she had promised him. She makes it and stands in the kitchen preparing the meal, with tears running down her face.

    Bree: "I have a name now".

    Orson: "And luckily for you, it's not mine".



    It's amazing what five years can do to a marriage. Bree and Orson started off being one of the best couples on this show and now thanks to this episode, their marriage is beginning to crack big time.



    It doesn't take much to see what's been driving them apart though. Although Bree has conveniently forgotten about that time she helped cover up Andrew's hit and run she hasn't been as forgiving with Orson's attempt on Mike. Pointing out yet again that I do not condone what Orson did, it's still strange that Bree hasn't gotten past it.



    Orson tried to repent for his sins by going to jail during the unseen five years and Bree kept her promise and took him back. Last week he showed some sadness at her dedication to her new profession and this week he's even more furious.



    The first thing to get on Orson's goat is Bree's insistence on using her former surname Van De Kamp for her public persona and book. Although I can see why Orson wouldn't take to this particularly well, Bree's profession reasoning for the use of her former marriage name made some sense. I guess 'Hodge' doesn't really scream conservatism enough.



    While Orson and Bree do argue about this, Bree ended up making it ten times worse by denying his existence during a radio interview. Again while Bree might have had a good technical excuse for that, I can see Orson's upset as well. The fact that she also openly admitted that she was ashamed of Orson's criminal record had to sting.



    But here's the thing – Orson has a criminal record because of her insistence that he turn himself in. Under normal circumstance, this would be a commendable action in Bree if it wasn't for the fact that it simply wasn't her place to decide whether Orson should pay for the crime. After all it was Mike's and Mike was perfectly happy to let it go.



    The worst part of the episode however occurs when Bree makes Orson a promise to cook him a pot roast. It's predictable that Bree would end failing to deliver on that promise and while that is sort of bad, Orson's behaviour however is ten times worse than Bree's.



    I mean making his wife cook him a pot roast during the middle of the night when she's about to drop is a bit below the belt. I haven't sympathised with Bree in quite a while but I felt for her there and it speaks negative volumes about Orson. I know there were some hints in the past about Orson's controlling behaviour (originally the writers had envisioned him as another run of the mill lunatic) but this felt like character assassination to me.



    Without sounding like a geeky shipper (because I kinda hate that word), I do like Bree and Orson as a couple. Both Marcia Cross and Kyle McLachlan spark off brilliantly with each other and to be honest, I would kind like to see Bree 'have it all' or at least proof that you can be in a great relationship and pull off a rewarding career. Something like that after all should be more than just a pipe dream as far as I'm concerned.



    However if Orson's behaviour is worrying, then Edie and Dave are also a cause for concern. The Edie of old would laugh off a casual insult or deliver one twice as lethal to the unwitting sap out to smite her. This Edie however decides she wants to pack her bags and leave Wisteria Lane even quicker than she returned.



    Luckily for us, Dave is able to say the right words in getting Edie to stay put. Granted it means that he has to use that patronising motivational speaker voice of his but while the guy exudes creepiness and has his own motives, I for one do not want to see Edie leave the show again.



    It's not that I think Nicolette Sheridan is the best actress or that Edie is the best character but she does add to the show in her own and some of the best dialogue does tend to be given to her from time to time. Plus it would be interesting to see if she can reconnect with the rest of the women or befriend Katherine at the very least.



    As for Dave, I already mentioned the creepy factor but here not only does he seem to have an S&M (minus the leash) type of hold on Edie but the way he reads people is way too uncomfortable for my liking. I know he's a motivational speaker but his working was something that was more destructive than constructive.



    He managed to get his own back on Karen by reading into the fact that she's lonely and talks to her cat, Toby like it's a person. Newsflash Dave – a lot of non-lonely people also adopt a similar dynamic with animals but it doesn't take much to see he was right about Karen.



    The reason why Karen suddenly came into Dave's orbit was down to her refusal to apologise to Edie. Now here I side with Karen but that's mainly because her insult though mean was actually funny. Besides Karen also reminded us that Edie was more than capable of delivering her own insults.



    That being said Dave did go too far in getting his own way. He stole Karen's cat and offered to look for it if she promised to apologise to Edie. For a brief second you could see vulnerability in Karen and Edie as well as a moment where Edie exchanged some compassion for Karen.



    However it wasn't all that surprising that when Toby was returned, Karen would automatically assume that Dave played his part in the cat being missing in the first place. The more interesting part is that it seems that it will be Karen and Katherine who'll get stuck into the Dave mystery.



    Last season I could take or leave Katherine but ever since she became Bree's disgruntled partner in the catering business, she's become less annoying. Karen's always been a fun character to watch and it's nice that she's being given more solid material to work with in the last two seasons. Hopefully this doesn't spell her leaving the show anytime soon though.



    Meanwhile when it comes to utterly daft schemes to get to know your children, Lynette manages to be such a pro that Tom ends up looking like the rational one. When Lynette meddles, her heart usually tends to be in the right place but it doesn't excuse her stupidity with this episode.



    Focusing on one of the twins instead the both of them is a good idea though. Personally I've never really cared for Porter but I did like him in this episode when it was revealed that he had a thing for poetry and wasn't as bland as he came across in the last episode.



    Lynette decides to spy on her son by logging onto a social network and pretending to be a girl just so she can find out what goes on in that head of his. Tom told her it was a bad idea (as well as a massive invasion of privacy) but Lynette still went ahead and did it.



    Of course there was no way she was going to get away and when she had to 'dump' Porter after he confessed that he was falling in love with her alias, she made the mother of all mistakes. Needless to say Porter caught her, refused to speak and there was a nice moment where he admitted (out of earshot) that he enjoyed being honest with his mother.



    Speaking of honesty, Susan's attempts of hiding Jackson are still going arseways but after she admitted to Mike last week that she was seeing someone, what the hell did she expect? Granted the ways in Mike, MJ and Karl both met Jackson were a little cheesy but this is still a fun plot.



    I mean Jackson's a nice guy and while he and Susan are doomed, I like that he's able to get on with Mike and that Karl didn't make him want to run for the hills. Even pairing him with Mike as a potential friendship was a nice touch as it got Susan to look at some of her issues with her ex-husband.



    As for Gabby, the poor thing still fails to look authentically frumpy in each passing episode but for the second week in a row, I'm still interested in her ongoing storyline. For someone as gloriously materialistic as Gabby, having to play poor wife and mother does feel like a comedown.



    With Carlos now as a masseuse (I like that character development by the way); Gabby went into overdrive trying to reclaim her social status. First she made sure that Carlos took the job at the country club and then she gate crashed a party that Bree had to tell that she was uninvited to.



    Of course rejection is something that Gabby never took well to so it was funny to watch her and Carlos sneaks into the do. I almost didn't feel like scolding when Gabby fooled Carlos into thinking he was being photographed as well. However I did hate the way that Bree was unsympathetic to Gabby's plight. At least Carlos actually stepped up to the plate with that whole 'rich people are miserable too' spiel.



    Also in "We're So Happy, You're So Happy"



    The Previously On bit came back with clips from "Free" and "You're Gonna Love Tomorrow".



    Jackson: "Wow, could this be any more awkward?"

    Mike: "Well your robe's open so, yeah".



    Mary Alice waxed about Jackson being a thoughtful boyfriend but he's got to have a skeleton or two in his closet, right?



    Dave: "Adults don't pack up and leave because of good natured teasing".

    Edie (re Karen): "She said that my breasts are a triumph of German engineering. Is that good natured teasing to you?"



    Gabrielle: "Carlos I don't need to spend all the time with you and the kids are on the fence".



    It seems that in five years time, MySpace, Bebo and Facebook will all be replaced with Silverfizz, which seems to be across between MySpace and MSN.



    Karen (to Dave, re Edie): "I say she's easier to get into than a community college and she says my face looks like a knee. It's fun".



    Lynette: "Porter sent me a sex poem".

    Tom: "Why?"

    Lynette: "He may be in love with me".



    So Susan has a thing for earlobes (I get it) and Mike a thing for his toes. The latter reminded me of Gabe from Six Feet Under.



    Tom: "Dear Porter, I really like you but I wanna see other offspring".

    Lynette: "Go away".



    Guy (to Susan): "Lady, what the hell are you doing with my beer?"

    Mike: "We're not married anymore so I'm not protecting you".



    Karl's appearance in this episode had something to do with an insurance document for Julie. Hope we see her soon.



    Karl (to Susan): "Plumber and painter in the one house. Don't get dizzy climbing the social ladder".



    Gabrielle: "That was Mrs Downing. How am I gonna fix this?"

    Bree: "At this point, I'd run screaming into the night".



    Of all the people who own a computer, why turn to Katherine? Is it because like Edie, she's also an outcast or it is because Katherine seemed a little interested in Dave?



    Porter: "I wasn't telling you anything, I was telling her".

    Lynette: "Okay for one thing, I loved our conversations and I'm going to miss them".

    Porter: "Me too".



    Bree: "Orson, I've been cooking all day. I'm so tired I can barely stand up. Do you really want me to make you a pot roast now?"

    Orson: "You promised".



    In this episode we met the new Parker but not Penny and Andrew only had at least one scene. I hope he gets a boyfriend this season.



    Katherine: "Why would you bring me flowers?"

    Karen: "Because you've got a computer and I need to find out about Edie's husband".



    Chronology: A week or two since "You're Gonna Love Tomorrow".



    Okay this was a little better than the premiere episode of the season. "We're So Happy, You're So Happy" was obviously a lie seeing as Bree and Orson are miserable with each other and Dave's a whack job waiting to happen but overall I'm actually convinced this five year leap is working.



    Rating: 8 out of 10.

    "Great"
    Not as good as the pilot was, but this was a good episode. I really loved the whole comedic and dramatic experience that Porter Scavo (Charlie Carver) and Lynette (Felicity Huffman) went through, being the best part of the show. I really liked to see that Porter and Parker (Max Carver) do have some differences and are not going to be almost like how the younger twins were. It is about time that Bree (Marcia Cross) started to annoy Orson (Kyle MacLachlan), but i still love Bree. Gabby (Eva Longoria Parker) doing what she can to up her social status after a socially horrible couple of years. Mrs. McClusky (guest star Kathryn Joosten) going to Katherine (Dana Delaney) about Dave (Neal McDonough) was great and a good combination between the characters. This was a great episode, but for Desperate Housewives standards, it could've been better.
  • Karl's back!!!!! So exciting!!!!!

    "Superb"
    I laughed so hard with Susan's situation when what's his name saw Mike and then MJ.... way too funny.... but you would think that if Susan was trying to hide him from people he would know better than to go out on the porch in the morning to pick up the paper.... come on..... I felt so sorry for Porter.... poor guy.... Lynette went too far on that one....



    I am now convinced that Edie's husband is after Mrs Mcclusky.... he's got something to do with something that must have happened to her or her family in the past.... hopefully, this means more Mary Alice scenes... yay



    Did we miss Katherine on this week's episode? Don't remember seeing her there....



    Gaby was too funny trying to go to that party... I was laughing so hard when Carlos was in the kitchen thinking there were people actually taking his picture.... hilarious!!!!!!



    Bree was way too funny on that radio show and didn't mention Orson.... poor guy..... now I get the going back to Van De Kamp name thing.... I cant believe he actually went to prison for running over Mike..... wow, im impressed.... didn't think he had it in him..... I wonder if him and Mike are back to being friends...



    I didn't like the kid who plays Parker..... he looks a little weird..... I wonder who's gonna play Penny.... and I wanna see Julie and Dylan..... you know, if this is continuing where the finale left off, you would think that Katherine would be all over with trying to plan for Dylan's wedding..... I'm excited we will see Danielle next week..... oh boy!!!!!



    And definitely, last but so not least, my favorite part of the entire episode: pause for the drum rolls...... seeing Karl!!!!!!!! OMG, I about jumped off the couch when I saw Richard Burgi on the credits and I was like OMG he's back!!!!!!!!!!!! So exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    What have they done to the men on this show? Mike is a jerk and Orson is abusive? I like the Orson character and now I can see he is on his way out, too bad. Gabby and Carlos are acting like idiots. Who would throw a blind man out of the building? That was dumb. I can't stand the new Gabby.

    Lynette was close to acting like an online pedophile. These people have totally changed – for the worse. I love Dana Delany and she is being way under unused. This show better pick up soon or they will go down fast.
  • Average, disappointing episode.

    "Fair"
    It feels like the creators are trying to get Susan to be the face of the show again. Over the past seasons, Bree, Gaby and Lynette grew upon the viewers and Susan started to annoy some. Now, with a different Susan, they try to bring her back in the picture, but something went wrong in this episode. Her story was by far the most interesting in the season premiere, but things start to go downhill. Especially the part where Mike acts like a jerk and were MJ meets Jackson for the first time. It also looked far more interesting, to me, if the writers would have focused on MJ's relationship with Jackson and not Mike. Karl showing up was just overcompensation.



    I like the new Bree. Even though she wasn't really friendly to my favorite character (Katherine) last time, I love to see where this is going and if her marriage with Orson is going to survive her cooking adventure. But the last scene… downright creepy.



    Gaby's story was not as interesting as last time, but I guess they had to put this in. Gaby not trying to maintain her social status, it wouldn't be Gaby. Looking forward seeing more Juanita next week.



    Lynette's story was the funniest of all, but just as Susan's: I think they could've handled it better. I think it would have been interesting if they decided to meet or something like that. But the 'love mom'-moment was THE rofl-moment of the episode.



    And then there's Edie. She didn't really do much in Sunday's episode, I liked her better in the premiere when she was all pissed off, but Dave blackmailing Mrs. McCluskey is probably one of the most scariest storylines ever on this show. He said some pretty mean things to her and I'm glad to see that she's teaming up with Katherine and my two favorite characters are getting some more screen time.



    Although the season premiere was promising, I'm starting to fear that this show is going downhill. There was just something missing and I think the biggest difference between this season's mystery and the previous one's is that the ladies have no clue that there's something wrong. Season 1 had the note, season 2 had the noises in the basement, season 3 had Monique's body and in season 4 there was Dylan's strange behavior. McCluskey might think he's up to something, but I would have preferred the housewives noticing something and that they would have some more scenes together, like in the premiere. The worst of all is the feeling that there's nothing to look out for. Dave's story still doesn't feel like the real mystery, because I also think they gave some huge hints last week. But maybe that was just the point…
  • A great episode that features much better storylines than the premiere, but something's missing...

    9.5
    "Superb"
    I absolutely loved the premiere, watched it exactly 8 times and I watched this episode twice so far... that's how much I enjoy this new and fresh season. While I love anything DH-related and I gave the premiere a perfect score, I felt like I couldn't give this episode another perfect score because something felt missing in both episodes... it just felt right, I thought that maybe I wouldn't feel like that afterwards, but I was wrong. Despite this fact, this episode was definitely excellent with great storylines all-around.



    Susan: Her storyline was hilarious, fast-paced and probably the best in the entire episode. It begins with Jackson meeting Mike basically naked, and then MJ. Basically all the men in Susan's life meet, and that includes Karl who makes a brief appearance in the episode. Susan freaks out when Mike decides to take Jackson out in order to make sure that he's good to stay around his kid, thankfully everything goes so great but Susan is FURIOUS when she finds out that Mike told him that her 'secret turn-on' is her ear, LMAO! Everything works out eventually when Susan confronts Mike and tells Jackson that he can be Mike's friend. Susan's acting was brilliant in this episode and her expressions were hilarious.



    Lynette: I had a had time deciding whether her storyline or Susan's was the best, because Lynette has had one heck of a storyline in this episode. When a kid in Porter's school gets busted for dealing drugs, she fears that Porter is his friend and something may be up. So Lynette creates an account on a myspace-like website and begins to talk with her son, who thinks she's a 16 year old. Lynette finds out that her son writes poetry which kind of surprises her because her son is so moody and quiet. Porter ends up falling in love with Lynette and so she decides to break it off but accidentally signs the break-up message with "Love Mom" and so Porter finds out. Lynette talks to Porter afterwards in a very touching and amazing scene, let's hope that they resolve their issues soon! I absolutely loved Lynette and Tom and they prove to be one of the best couples on the show, if not the best.



    Gabrielle: I was surprised that neither of Gabrielle's daughters were present in today's episode, but the storyline was great still. Gabrielle receives an invitation to Michelle Dawning's party which happens to b the social season kick-off. It's also revealed that Carlos & Gabby are having money issues so she talks Carlos into accepting the Country Club job after witnessing a man's one-testicle LOL! Eventually Bree visits Gabby and dis-invites her to the party because many members of the club will be at the party and they can't socialize with the 'staff'. Gabby realizes that if they miss their party they'll be off everyone's lists and so she goes to the party with Carlos and enters from the kitchen. Bree spots her and Gabby tells her that she's gonna show herself to the right people and then leave. Gabby doesn't stick to her words, however, and stays at the party for too long so Bree takes to another room to tell her to leave. A really brilliant scene occurs here, I won't spoil it but it's really funny and original. After that, Gabby tells Carlos how she's lost everything but Carlos tells her about everything good they've got and they make up.



    Bree: Quite frankly I despised Bree in the premiere, and my feelings haven't changed much after this episode. First she uses the name Van Dee Camp on her cook-book then says on the radio that her husband is dead. Orson confronts her about it and she tells him that she's not proud of him being in jail for running somebody over, although she made him turn himself in so she'd take him back. She promises to cook him that night and then ignores him completely as she prepares to cater Michelle's party. She returns really late that night only to find Orson still awake, waiting for her. He tells her that he's hungry and that she promised to cook for him, he uses a strict tone with her so she cooks for him... this was a creepy scene because of Orson's changed tone and Bree crying while cooking.



    Edie & Dave: Edie gets mad at Mrs.McClusky so she suggests that they move out but Dave convinces her otherwise fo unknown reasons and goes to talk with Karen. Mrs.McClusky refuses to apologize to Edie which doesn't please Dave, then her cat Toby disapears! (Dave is probably behind it) and she asks for Dave's help who tells her to apologize to Edie in return. Karen listens to him and apologizes to Edie and finds her cat afterwards. In the last scene, Karen goes to Katherine's house and tells her that she wants to find out ore about Dave.



    Overall, it was a very funny and fast-paced episode... I must also praise the music which felt a bit different than usual but top-notch none-the-less. However, I can't help feel like this is a much changed show... I mean I wanted it to change but maybe it changed a bit too much.

    I thought that the five year jump would be a mistake, but it turned out that it was a great decision after all. I'm still hoping that Gaby and Carlos will get their old look back.. but their storyline was very funny, especially when Gaby was arguing with Bree behind the door at the party!!! Lynette's story was also great, but I felt really sorry for her when Porter was eating a sandwich and she came to apologise.. her speech was very touching.. Bree and Orson? Oh my! Orson crossed the line, but so did Bree.. I can get why Orson is so mad but he seemed a little weird-evil. Especially when he was reading the paper while Bree was cooking for him.. creepy.. And the storyline with Jackson-Mark-Susy? Just great.. I'm still hoping Mike and Susy will get back together.. And I'm also happy that they made the little Karl thing! Man I missed Karl.. I hope he will be back a little more in this serie, like he was in the 1st and 2nd ones..

    To sum it up: GREAT episode!

    "Great"
    After a decent season premiere Desperate Housewives returned to top form here. There was a plethora of funny moments from Carlos waving to the "photographer" to Tom and Lynette talking about the online relationship with Porter to Gabrielle and Bree talking in the closet. The show seems to be building some strong story arcs this year although Susan is still kind of annoying, and we all know that she'll end up with Mike again anyway. Her son also seems like a complete ripoff of Jamie from One Tree Hill.



    The best part of the episode yet again was the events involving Dave Williams. Neal McDonough is not only blending in well with the cast, but he's clearly become the most entertaining character. Bree is hilarious, but Dave also has some mystery behind his character that should play out over the next few weeks. It's good to see The Housewives getting back on track.
  • I'm so glad this episode's better from the previous one!

    "Perfect"
    This episode was awesome! I loved it! It had funny moments but it had sad moments as well. I like the development of Edie's husband as a character and as a mystery he has. The whole part with Karen were great. Edie's husband is really scary! And I like the fact Mike and Jackson are getting along! The part when Lynnette wrote "Love, mom" was so funny! But at the end, so sad. :) I'm so sorry for her son. I think it's sad Gabrielle is being unaccepted. :(

    The scene where Bree cried while she was making Orson's dinner was so heartbreaking! :(

    I can't wait for another episode!

    Let me just start off by saying that all things considered, I absolutely loved this episode. All of the story lines in this episode were great, but Susan's and Lynette's story lines were definitely my favorite of all the story lines. I'm really loving having Gale Harold as Susan's new boyfriend since I've been a fan of his for years. He had some really funny moments in this episode. It was definitely great getting to see lots of scenes with him. Lynette's story line with Porter was amazing. It was funny, heartwarming and sad all at the same time. I hope they can work things out in the future. Gabrielle's story line was great too, especially the scene at the end with Carlos which was really wonderful and touching. I wish that they had featured Katherine more than they did in this episode, but it looks like we will be seeing more of her in the next episode. The scene between Orson and Bree at the end of the episode was downright creepy. I'm afraid of what's going to happen between them next. In closing, I thought that this was an extremely well written, well acted and well made episode from everyone involved, and I can't wait to see the next episode of Desperate Housewives.

    I really liked the beginning with Jackson and Mike. Then, MJ meets Jackson! LMAO! Susan looks hotter after 5 years! Carlos is a masseuse now. Gabrielle walks in on a massage and sees a guy's single testicle. LMAO! Susan is telling Jackson what to say when he meets Mike, and tells him that in court, if she must choose between him and MJ, she'd choose MJ. Parker is very computer-savvy. Bree uses Rex's last name on her cookbook and professionally. Yikes!... Toby is still alive! YAY! Dave talks to Mrs. McKlusky about her being rude to Edie by making a comment on her breasts. "I say that Edie's easier to get into than a community college, and she says my face looks like a knee." LMAO! Great episode. 10/10.
