At least we finally found out who Dave is after.

I wish tivo had a button where you could skip scenes with Susan and the Scavos.

Well, finally Dave's plans for Mike are coming to fruition.

Carlos can see again, and he probably wasn't prepared to see how Gabby had to sacrifice to keep things afloat for the family.

Porter's run away, and the restaurant may be at risk.

Andrew's boyfriend has an interesting past, but Bree got past it.

We've known that for a while now.

Titillation value aside, I'm sure they avoided showing it so as not to have to have Longoria do a pratfall that we've come to mostly expect only from Susan.

So it this the last new one until January? Would seem like a decent place to break.

so, does Dave want to kill Susan & MJ or Katherine & MJ to "take away what Mike took from him"?

MJ is the damn cutest kid I've ever seen on tv, and I usually hate kids on tv. Take Family Ties....please! But anyhow...I abhorred Andy. But this MJ is a great little actor! Oh, I also loved Maya on Six Feet Under.

It's funny that you mention Andy, because MJ looks like he could be Andy's son to me. They look a lot alike.

Every time they show MJ, I just see:


Moley moley moley ...

I thought I remembering seeing Dave say the revenge or his anger had to do with something that happened to his brother while in prison. Does anyone else remember this? I think it was a flashback sequence with Dave and his doctor.

Yeah, obviously that was a red herring. I don't think he ever overtly stated that this was his motivation -- he just mentioned that his brother had died in prison. The writers probably assumed (correctly) that we would all think that Dave was related to the people who died in Mike's accident so they threw that in there as a distraction.

I thought he just told Edie that when she was asking him about his past.

it was about time for them to let the cat out of the bag, although we already basically knew who he was after.

No, we thought he was after Mike.

Turns out he's after MJ and a female friend of Mike's.

I hope the writers don't take this opportunity to kill off Katherine. I would much rather see that hag Susan go. I have never wanted a character to be miserable like I do her.

Well, Katherine has had nothing exciting to do at all this season. Why did they even bring her back if she was just going to be someone's date?
Loved the gay stuff at dinner. The boyfriend definitely had porn potential. Glad that they gave Bree's son something to do and gave him a romantic interest.
Hope we get to see the Wedding.
Loved the stuff with Carlos and Gabby.

Creepy guy was at the graves of his wife & kid. Told them that he's going to take away from Mike Delfino what Mike took from him.
