i'm interested in seeing this. Some of the girls I work with were talking about the show a few weeks back and I caught the last episode and liked it. I'm curious to see more of the show.

Just a note to those DH fans in the Phila area: Tonight's show will be on at 7pm, as the Eagles/Redskins game will be shown on the ABC affiliate (Ch 6) at 8:30pm.

Poor Susan, she always has the worst luck in everything.
Looks like the secret about Dana is out. Susan's daughter needs to be careful, as I don't think Zach is entirely mentally stable. Then again, neither is his dad.

Okay, so I take it the body in the box was that of the missing sister Mike is supposed to be trying to find?
This series is about to turn into a mixture of Sex and the City and Twin Peaks.

Not to sure that Susan should be helping out her daughter, Zach could become mucho scary. Dad seems a little disturbed also. Was burying the blender a good thing to do? Could it be traced back to Mary Alice?
I also feel that the body is who Mike is looking for.
Susan just keeps on having bad luck.
Interesting to see how Bree dealt with her son. Was he really holding it for a friend?
Really a shock to see the police come for Carlos and not his wife. Glad she finally took responsibility and and told John's mother that it was her and not Susan.
Really happy that we get another new episode next Week.

Wow, a whole lot of stuff went down tonight. I was a little surprised at Susan's reaction to discovering Gabrielle's secret, but it does fit. I was also surprised that the body in the chest wasn't Dana, but an adult woman.
Lynette was funny trying to steal the nanny.
"I've give you a 20% bump, plus overtime."
".....I don't take orders from your friends, and I don't do laundry."
"Dishes?"
"Only the kids'"

Very entertaining episode. Wonder who is the adult female bones in the child's chest. How does it relate to Dana? And does Mrs Huber know about all that when she wrote that note? And is Mike's investigation related to them? It's getting more intriguing...

Lynette scores some high grade nanny (Marla Sokoloff).
After Susan gets wind of John and Gabrielle's tryst, she confronts Yard boy John, and his mom catches Susan trying to talk some sense into John from afar. The mom concluded incorrectly that Susan is the one sleeping with the yard boy (this blows up during the charity fashion show and Susan's showstopper dress gets all ripped up by the Yard boy's mom, and then Susan is sent up on stage, and stop the show she did), so Susan makes Gabrielle 'fess up, and yard boy's mom appears to be the "don't get mad, get even" type.
Bree is still concerned about Andrew's lack of remorse for what he's done (drunk driving and running over Mrs. Solis). Bree catches Andrew smoking pot, she has Andrew give her a urine sample while he's buzzing, and later when she confronts Rex on the golf course and shows him the urine, but Rex isn't all that concerned, so she throws the urine on him. Eww... Later, Bree finds some more pot in Andrew's locker at school, and decided to place an anonymous call to get Andrew busted for pot possession.
Paul buries Mrs. Huber and the blender in a dug up hole.
Susan finds out that Julie has been writing to Zach while he's in the mental health center. Later, Zach escapes and heads straight for Julie's house and Julie keeps him hidden. Zach confesses to Julie that when he was 4 he was responsible for killing Dana. Paul confronts Julie at her house looking for Zach, Susan intercedes and tells him that Julie doesn't know where Zach is and that she doesn't lie (Julie shoots the viewers a guilty look).
The cops research the box (found in the lake/pond earlier in the season that Paul unsuccessfully tried to sink to the bottom) that had the body inside and they find the box maker. What's the interesting new revealation was that the body inside the box was of an adult whose body got cut up to fit inside the box.
Just as Gabrielle is about to confess her affair with the Yard boy, the cops show up, and she thinks the mom has called in the cops for her crimes (statutory rape comes to mind because she was doing John when he was 16), but the cops/FBI were there to arrest her husband Carlos, and he claims Tanaka is making him take the fall.

Great episode. It was odd that Mike didn't appear at all though. I had an inkling that it might be Carlos who was under arrest when the squad cars pulled up, but I still have no idea why. I was disappointed that Zack couldn't remember more of what happened to Dana, but I guess they can't reveal everything too soon. He said that he was the one who killed Dana, but didn't say anything about how. I wonder who the woman in the box will turn out to be. Even if it is the woman who Mike is looking for, we know almost nothing about her.
I really enjoy both this show and Lost but I feel like they should only last two or three seasons at the most. They can't draw out these mysteries forever and I don't think there would be much point in watching any more episodes once the secrets at the heart of each series are revealed, as much as I like the characters.
