A lot of interesting character development for the housewives. Glad to see Delaney back as well.

Are you starting watching this episode or starting with season 1 episode 1?
This would be an awful time to start watching.
The show is extremely serialized. I think your going to have a really hard time figuring out all the plot points/characters.

@ Dave's comparison of his marriage to Edie to his marriage with his previous wife.Too bad Lynette wasn't going about 80mph without a seatbelt on when she hit Bree's car.

Good for gay guy tattling on Dave 
Susan is really pathetic but redeemed herself a bit at the end

I hate Susan more and more each episode. I find it amazing how unlikable they are willing to make the main characters.
Susan is so selfish. The private school bullshit was SO annoying. She's the only character on this show I have NEVER seen working, and yet she's telling Mike he needs to work more? Ugh, I really shouldn't let a TV show get me that annoyed.
I have to side with Bree on the pizza stuff. You have a cookbook out, and you specify fresh ingredients. You partner in a restaurant and you want them serving your food with subpar ingredients? Sorry Lynette, but if you need the money you have to relinquish some control and while it was shady of Bree to throw them out behind her back, she did try to convince Lynette to not use the crap parmesan.
The bedroom scene with Edie was very funny. She should have never asked Dave to clarify.
Gaby is of course a bitch so nothing new there, and while she may have "learned a lesson" this episode, she'll back to her bitchy self and learning another lesson she will forget later on.

So the economy is still going to be really bad 5 years into the future? Man, that's gonna suck...
Or was the last season finale actually set 5 years ago and the new episodes take place in the present? This is more confusing than Lost...

I'm in a fairly nice far NW suburb of Chicago, and my nephews would have to go to a school that scored 67% on their standardized English test. Needless to say they will be going to private school. So it IS possible.

Plus I would hope in 5 years Hybrids aren't something so rare that you could brag about anymore. (They hardly are now)

Well god forbid she take time out of her day to actually teach the kid on her own time as well. I mean she's so busy stealing jewelry that she can't possibly buy Hooked on Phonics and teach the kid herself. I mean a parent actually doing something educational with their kid? What a ridiculous concept.

I had the same thought or hire a tutor for a few hours a week, which has got to be much cheaper than private school. Susan seems like the type of person with a lot of free time on her hands. Why not spend that time helping your kid read instead of stealing and bitching to your ex that he doesn't work hard enough or bring home enough bacon.

Or does it simply wake up every now and then like Brigadoon?

I hate Susan like everyone else, but to have her actually try to steal and then sell the pearls was over the line, even for such a stupid character like her. She should be sent to jail for 5 years, so we never have to see or hear her again.
