"Anything You Can Do"
Susan is miffed when Mike's unexpected - and very sexy - houseguest (guest star Heather Stephens as Kendra) forces him to postpone their first official "date"; Lynette becomes steadily more dependent on the twins' ADD medication; Gabrielle becomes jealous of the "other" woman in John's life; Bree's kids mutiny when they learn their dad has moved out; and the enigmatic Mr. Shaw (guest star Richard Roundtree) comes closer to solving one of Wisteria Lane's big mysteries.

Drama.

Episode is over, so no need for spoilers now I guess.

Andrew runs down Carlos' mother! Sweet!

So how do they know that Evie (sp?) was the blackmailer?

areacode212

Because Mary Alice's hubby saw that she was using the same kind of paper in her real estate kit that was used on The Mysterious Note. Pretty dubious evidence, I'd say, considering it looks like they're out to kill her. Look out for Shaft, Edie!

This show is getting pretty good.

treszoks

Wow. Major developments this week and more to come next week looks like. This show is really getting good.

Dr. DVD

So...I take it Kendra is Mary Alice's sister and Mike is there investigating her death? Or is Kendra someone else's sister?

Also,

Finally, why couldn't Andrew move in with his father? Why wouldn't the father want him to move in, as he seems lonely? Could the father be having a mistress already?

tv gude said mrs. solice would catch the gardener with superwoman teri hatcher. Looks like tv guide was wrong!

MrX

Pretty good episode.

Nicolette looked good in her realtors outfit. I think it's to early to reveal who the blackmailer is so I doubt it is Edie.

I think it will turn out to be

TVGal mentioned that Rex is not gay (or at least she alluded to it), but we pretty much put that to rest last week. Maybe he has a mistress, but I don't think so. I think that it is going to be something more odd than that.

I totally missed the paper thing. Thanks.

I was thinking that Kendra was MA's sister before anything similiar was brought up in the show, but when Mike said how the bar was the last place that she was seen, it made me doubt if it really was MA's sister, and not just a new storyline that will somehow be interwoven in the future.

Ted The Bug

I don't think the reason that Mike is in the neighborhood has anything to do with the Mary Alice storyline.

B.A.

He's not - he showed up about the same time as her death.

Patman

Plus, I think the rest of the housewives would recognize Kendra as being related to MA.

Pretty insane episode tonight:

Lynette's a ritalin junkie, and undermines her husband's marketing pitch.

Susan's jealousy issues were dealt with swiftly by the mechanical bull.

Gabby received a minor miracle via drunk-driving Bree's son running over Mrs. Solis.

Bree's response to her children not choosing her now that Rex is proceeding with the divorce was classic Bree, mainly over-the-top.

So Mike is working for someone who appears to have lost a daughter, and the other daughter is working at cross-purposes in trying to get some closure on the whole ordeal for her father and family.

Great episode! That opening with Mrs. Huber dumping the man on Bree's hydrangeas got me hooked right from the beginning.

I just had to laugh when the Alias promo appeared after Mary Alice's voiceover about competition throughout the episode.
OT: If they are going to linger over the Syd/Vaughn thing for the upcoming 4th season, then I don't care that DH has taken over Alias' old time slot.

At least Alias is being paired with another JJ show.

movieking

I missed the Alias preview, and I've pissed about it. That's what you get for FFing shows!

I think Rex didn't want the son living with him because he doesn't want his son living in a hotel where he'd probably be eating crap all the time. I think he was partially trying to be a responsible father.

hahn

Did anyone else think that Edie already knew that hired 'investigator'? They seemed familiar with each other at the bar. Like maybe it was a setup by both of them?

Charlie Goose

I found it interesting that Rex gave those expensive presents to his kids, not to curry their favor, but so they would live with their mother.

cdoug57

Interesting, not sure what to make of Rex's motives. Bree's reaction was just what I'd expect. Glad to see her confront Gabrielle about sending the daughter off. Gabrielle is so selfish sometimes (all the time?).

Is Mama Solis really dead?

Can't believe that Rex and Bree are going to cover up for their son. Bree maybe, but not Rex.

Edie was awfully friendly with Shaft. Another vote for the stationary belonging to Mrs. Huber as that is where Edie is living.

Some answers but a bunch more questions.

PeMo

She moved in after Mary Alice killed herself. Edie's house wasn't burned down until after the suicide.

Mysteryfan

Ditto on the stationary. Everything in Edie's house burned up (except the measuring cup )

Dr. DVD

So are Edie's days numbered?

JasonF

The timeline on the stationary under the Mrs. Huber-is-the-blackmailer theorey goes like this:

1. Mrs. Huber writes the note
2. Edie moves in
3. Edie grabs some paper from Mrs. Huber's desk
4. Mary Alice's husband sees the paper

PeMo

Oh, yeah. That makes sense. My bad.

I was using 30 second skip and I saw Sydney for a split second so I stopped and ran it back.

I noticed Lynnete's baby was back this episode (she was pushing a stroller during book club.) It's weird though how much they have shown her without the baby. A baby that small is usually always with you if you are a stay-at-home mom.

Who watched the baby while she was at the school play rehearsals, etc.?

hahn

Yeah, I could've sworn she had 3 children. Except I thought she had another boy who was about the same age as the twins. When there was that one show when she was driving a minivan and got pulled over by a cop, I thought there were 3?
