She was sleeping with her high school teacher, but the father of the baby was Edie's nephew

I wasnt saying that it was odd that she got married in her early 20s, just odd that she got married in her early 20s to someone who had to clearly be at least 5 or so years older than her in order to be a full fledged lawyer. But then again she did go for the older guys so I forgot about that...

Mrs. McCluskey is the only person onto Edie's hubby. I wonder why Katherine was barely on last night?

[VAgirl18]

Is it just me or was there a scene repeat this episode that was shown in the premiere? I could have sworn I remembered Bree coming over to tell Gaby that she was uninvited to that party....

[Benzgirl]

I think the scene was on the previews for the following week.

Tom is Lynette's husband, not Edie's.

[texas*princess]

It makes me so sad that Edie's husband is making Mrs. McClusky look crazy

[nittanyalum]

Yeah, do we know why he's doing that? I don't know if I missed something, or if we're building up to something.


ETA: I hate, hate, HATE Susan's boyfriend's hair

[IlovemyAKA]

Edie's husband is an ass.

Yeah I think it's supposed to be building up to something... at the end it said he was going to go after the man who ruined his life but he had to do it carefully or something to that regard. idk what Mrs. McClusky has to do with that??

[Benzgirl]

Who could be the "man that ruined my life"?

a. Carlos
b. Tom
c. Jackson
d. Mike
e. Orson
f. The Scavo Twins
g. One of the Gay Couple (Bob and Lee)
h. Andrew

I think it is Mike since Dave was targeting him for the "band" and trying to manipulate Lynette.

I think it is Mike since Dave was targeting him for the "band" and trying to manipulate Lynette.

When I heard that line, my first thought was that Dave is really Paul and he is out to get Mike. He has had plastic surgery so that no one one Wisteria Lane know it is him. He wanted to rent the house for Mike because of "keep your friends close and your enemies closer." Just my opinion...
