Well you gotta remember, November sweeps start soon. But next weeks episode looks to be very interesting.

Um this week was better than last season, that's for sure. But yes, it seemed like it was just to establish certain things and move the plot.

I agree. My son asked about the show last night, told him it was boring. Felt almost like the shows last year where I could take them or leave them.

DaffyKD

I'm loving this season so far. Actually, I thought last season was good, too, but the season before that (with the Applewhites) was terrible.

Susan is still driving me nuts, though. I can't stand her. I like the addition of the gay neighbors and the one guy's line last night about throwing "a gingham throw" over the top of the fountain was so funny. I was happy to see them pull the "I know what you did in Chicago" trick out of the bag...hopefully that will tame Katherine a little bit.

Have they ever explained why Orson ran over Mike? I keep wondering if I missed it somewhere along the way.

Hmmm...I don't think so. Orson still has some secrets.

I don’t think they actually said why Orson ran over Mike. I figured it was because Mike had seen Orson at Monique’s house the night she died.

yeah, that's probably it...I had forgotten. The stories on this show are so complicated.

I just wish they'd focus more on the characters we like and care about. I am sick of Katherine getting so much air time.
At least if they are going to show her, then I wish the show dealt with her daughter and not the "other" Chicago secret.

^^^ I love Katherine. Give me her over Lynnette's cancer, more Gabi and Carlos (and Edie) or more Susan and Mike anyday.

And I wouldn't be surprised if the Chicago secret and the daughter secret are the same or connected.

I feel the same way. Mike and Susan are plain boring, as is Tom.

I keep thinking that Katherine did something traumatic to the daughter's brain -- like a extreme hypnosis, a lobotomy or ECT-gone-wrong.

Sure, we all think that Katherine's hubby had an affair with a patient (or at least that is what they want us to think), but I'm sure there will be a twist in that story too. Remember, we all thought that Orson killed is ex wife, until he appeared last season.

BTW...I thought that Orson riding the motorbike and crashing was hysterical.

Thank you! I had completely forgotten that Mike had seen Orson there.


Here are my theories about Katherine's story line...

• I think the real Dylan died somehow, in the same room the aunt died in.
• Somehow, her real dad (and Katherine's aunt) were involved in Dylan's death, but I haven't figured out how.
• Similar to Zach's story line, a girl Dylan's age was taken from her real family and "transplanted" into Katherine's. This is the "Dylan" we see now. (I'll be disappointed with the lack of creativity if this turns out to be the case.)
• "Dylan" told Julie that she remembered a man grabbing her... ?? Maybe Dylan's dad kidnapped this "Dylan".
• Perhaps this "Dylan" was taken from a family in Chicago?

In addition to getting this plot fleshed out, I'd like to know what happened to Dylan's real dad. I'm guessing we'll find out in Katherine's aunt's letter.

Tom has always been my favorite of all the husbands/boyfriends, and I've always thought that Lynnette is the most interesting of the "housewives," making them the most interesting couple. But the cancer just ain't working for me.

As for Susan and Mike, Teri Hatcher can do no wrong in my eyes, but the storyline with Mike has basically been going on since the show started.

I was thinking that maybe the husband had violated some of his patients (a la "The Hand That Rocks the Craddle"), and that's why they can never return to Chicago.

I'm starting to enjoy Orson. When he was drunk last night ("there was punch in the rum?) and wanted to deliver Danielle's baby, I was cracking up. Also funny was the line from Katherine's OB-Gyn Husband about Brie faking the pregnancy.

lol yea it was pretty funny

Orson: "I'M A DOCTOR!!!!"

Bree: "Orson... you're a dentist."

Yes, very funny. I enjoyed it. :)

Am I assuming this correctly --- Remember a few episodes ago when Carlos was giving a large sum of money to a random guy telling him the crazy lady had to be taken care of?

Was he paying the guy to hide his money overseas?

That's what my wife and I assumed.

I'm not sure if it was to hide it overseas, but definitely to hide it. He told Gabby that it cost him $500,000 to take care of it, but that wasn't $500k in the envelope.

He probably spent a lot of money on the front end (when he embessled it) to hide it and then some more to hide it from Edie.

I finally caught up....

I think the authorities are going to find Gabby's cell phone on the boat...

I wish they would stop dragging out the stupid Katherine storyline.

Wait... it wasn't on last night, right? Wasn't there some kind of awards program on instead?

Yea I think there was a couple of missed weeks, but when I said I 'caught up' I meant by watching the episodes after they've been posted online because I missed the episode from the previous week.

speaking of which... i just finished last night's episode.... :eek:

After watching last night's episode, all I could think was Gabby should go to the cops and say:
"Victor threatened to 'lie' and say I pushed him off the boat if I tried to leave him."

oooooooo good idea. she looked really worried leaving the hospital :(

The woman who plays Katherine was on Regis & Kelly a few days ago and said someone on the show would die.... maybe even two characters :eek:

I'm totally ticked off at them for showing previews of next Sunday's show as early as Thursday of last week. I thought the tornado episode was going to be this week. The blood curdling scream that Lynette lets out makes me think someone in her family is injured...

If I remember right, spoilers are saying that Tom is hurt/dies.

I think the reason t hey did that was because all the networks are gearing up for 'Sweeps Week'

It's the last week of November sweeps.

I've read on spoilerfix.com that two characters die, one male and one female. One is regular, one is someone who is not a regular star. I hope Tom's not dead! I like his character. Poor Lynette. Kicking cancer's ass and then this, if it's true.

The spoilers I've read said that they were both recurring characters, and I've also seen quite a few other spoilers about Tom that involve storylines we haven't seen yet, so I wouldn't worry about Tom. (There, I've probably doomed him.)

I hope not. I really like Tom.

About the most recent episode... I hope the writers aren't setting us up with Andrew's turn-around. He was pretty believable, and I really hope he's "good" now. I'll be disappointed if I've been duped.

Likewise, I hope all goes well with Stella and Glenn.

In many ways, this was one of the most feel-good episodes of DH ever. (Don't get me wrong, I know there were several not-so-good moments!)

I caught the tail end of the show. What happened between Andrew and Bree? I heard Mary Alice say something about forgiveness.

Bree told Tom (while Andrew was within earshot) that she, Orson and Benjamin were a happy family. Andrew's feelings were hurt, he found an apartment and moved out. Bree came to his apartment to visit him and he told her that he was disappointed that she didn't recognize that he had changed (while asking her to use a coaster!). Then he said he had forgiven her a long time ago, he just had never told her. They really seemed to have a good mom/son moment.

I hope we see more of Stella and Glen. Polly Bergen and Richard Chamberlain are great together!
