This week's episode didn't do much to move the plot along...kinda boring, IMO.

I agree. It seemed like the main point of this week's epi was to set up the upcoming conflict between the Fountain-Heads and the HOA President (I'm awful with names). Based on the previews, however, it looks like next week's episode is going 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.

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.

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.
