Susan considers moving (out of Wisteria Lane or farther?) ; Tom worries about Lynette and another fellow at the pizzeria; and more. ---

This episode didn’t do much for me. But the shocker at the end involving Mrs. McCluskey was a goodie! ---

Did ya notice how they showed all the couples being romantic at the end…except Tom and Lynette? Guess he didn’t get serviced, even after the apology to Mrs. McCluskey. This was not a great episode. The first time Mrs. McC. reached into the freezer for a popsicle, I knew what the closing scene would be. But this is the first time we’ve seen little Penny in a while, isn’t it? Nice that they’ve allowed her to grow up a bit…the little girl playing her is adorable, and her character may not be as bratty as the others. ---

So Lynette’s running the restaurant and taking care of 5 kids kids while Tom lies there barking out orders, and now he wants a blow job. If I were Lynette, I’d service him by biting that sucker clean off and sticking in his goddamn pie! ---

The picture of the two McCluskey’s show him older, and the body looked like an older man, so I’m assuming he didn’t die in a war… and the freezer reveal was the last few seconds of the show, **scubaqueen**. Who or what is the terror trio? ---

They’d better not write off Mrs. McCluskey because she’s one of the best characters on the show. And, for the love of pete, ANOTHER murder/dead person on Wisteria Lane? Tom was insufferable. I hate how the writers emasculate all the men on the show. Is Lynette still working full time at the ad agency? The Mayor should dump Gabrielle like a hot rock. She’s a manipulative, narcisstic bitch. I really liked Susan this episode. She cut down the whining and actually stood up to Ian. And Mike is soooo dreamy. The whole “What does ‘good in bed’ mean?” joke fell flat with me. ---
