I thougt it was the best episode in the history of the show. Brilliantly written and directed. Parallel editing in the best Hitchcock tradition. The juxtapositions of manipulation and consequence were subtle and jarring at the same time. Lynette crying at the bathtub while clueless Tom blathered from the bedroom. A newly tamed Gaby, scolded into conformity, dancing with the mayor while her bruiser is beaten. Edie resting consolably with the object of her lust even as his mind is on his, oops, _her_ son. Even Susan was deeper than a wet spot this time. And Toni. Gah, I loved Toni. A hardy and handsome woman whose head is as wise as her body is strong. I’ll be saving this one on DVR to view again and again. ---

[/QUOTE] Maybe not the best in the history of the show, but definitely one of the best this season (maybe second, after _Bang!_), for all the reasons you stated. Anyone know if Bree will be back this season? ---

I’d love for Toni to move into Wisteria Lane. I’d love to hear her assessment of the other women. 42 degrees is awfully cold. You’d have thought they would have been at least shivering… I love to hate Gabby. Loved that the Mayor told her to quit embarrassing him.
