Weirdness with the new neighbor continues tonight–I mean, of course, the guy with the basement full of kid stuff and photos of half-naked kids.

I’m starting to not really care what happens to any of these people. I used to like Mike, but he’s not Mike anymore.

Everybody in the Orson / Bree storyline, deserves eachother.

I’m glad to see Dixie Carter any old time, and I wish they’d give her more to do than just bitching and boozing. When Bree threw Orson out of the house, what happened to Orson’s mom? I was out of the room for a moment, fetching dinner. Did mom leave? Is she going to live in Bree’s house even though Orson has been tossed out the door? Yikes. I can’t imagine sharing a house with my late mother-in-law. For several years after my husband and I got married, his mother referred to me as the woman who took her son away.

Don’t care about Susan and Ian or the snooty butler, although I was happy to see Susan slap ol’ Snooty. But she should not have apologized for doing it. You’re perfectly justified in beating the help when the help calls you a whore.

Gabby’s story should’ve been so much funnier than it was.

Has Lynette _ever_ told a lie and not been caught in it almost instantaneously?

I am so glad that Bree remembered that Orson had lied about knowing Monique in the morgue.

Mother Hodge’s prayer at the dinner table cracked me up.  
I hope they don’t make things too mushy between Gabi and the girls.  
Susan and Ian–still dull, but at least Mr. Pitt’s there to liven things up.

They didn’t show what happened to Orson’s mom.
