I was just looking at the TV listings for tonight, and here in Philly they’re running DH at 7:00, before the Iggles game. I’m sure it’s on at the normal time for most of you, but you may want to check your listings just in case.

Thanks, **twickster**. 🙂 Considering it wasn’t on last week, if I missed it tonight I’d be _extremely_ upset.

The ABC station here showed the Redskins game in primetime (at 7pm was some special called “Are You Ready?”), and the listings said “Housewives” would be on at midnight – but at 12:30am, they were still showing football wrap-up stuff (might have been the end of the news). I should have thrown a tape in the VCR and let it record channel 7 for a few hours, but at the time it didn’t occur to me that they might still show it so late. So now I wonder if I’ve completely missed this week’s episode. ☹

Did any other DC-area Dopers manage to see it? If so, when was it finally on?

I saw it…did it get pre-empted for a lot of people? ☹

If anyone wants a recap, I can try to attempt one.

I’ve got a question for other people who did get to see it this week, though. Given what we learned about the box’s content do you think

spoiler box contains a WAG, but I’ll box it on the off chance I’m right.

The box had an adult woman’s human remains in it, so probably not Dana’s. But I’m wondering, what if Dana wasn’t a baby? Zach said that he remembered the blood, but didn’t see Dana. My wild guess is that Dana will turn out to be an older, mentally handicapped, sister, whose death he didn’t really have anything to do with.
