"We're Gonna Be All Right"
Spoiler:
After numerous bad dates, Susan meets Dr. Right; old photos of Gabrielle surface on the Internet; Tom's children come down with chicken pox, alarming him because he has never had the disease.

Excellent episode. Best of the season.

MRI scene was classic.

Fairly predictable outcomes. Lynette wanting husband to get vasectomy. Gabrielle wanting husband to rough the ex up and following through even though hesitent at first. Still needs more surprises and laughter.

What happened to Gabrielle's lawnboy? Was she forced to let him go after Carlos found about their affair.

Agreed!

to Susan's and Gabrielle's storylines. Some great comedic stuff from Teri Hatcher (finally).

Nice to see Felicia Tillman back!

Isn't there some sort of breach of confidentiality by revealing Mike's blood type to Zach?

This and "24", some excellent hours of TV tonite.

Yes, it is called HIPPA and the medical field take these regulations and confidentiality extremely serious.

Good episode tonight. I'm confused by them bringing back the guy who hired Mike to find his daughter. Does anyone else think this might be leading to him finding out that he has a grandson (Zach)? Sort of a weird plot turn. But good stuff tonight. Tom was annoying me tonight. He's the one who decided that he was going to stay home and Lynette was going to work. It hasn't even been a year, and he's wussing out? Plus, getting a vasectomy would "emasculate" him? Give me a break. What a whiner. Other than that, good stuff.

Gabby and Carlos were great. Didn't care much for the other stuff.

The scene in the jail with Bree and the prostitute was classic as well.

Why else would what's-her-name be his new nurse?

Damn, missed this episode to go to a basketball game and it sounds like it was a good one. Guess I'll have to pick it up on iTunes later.

I enjoyed this episode more than I thought I would. Bree getting arrested and the jail scene was pretty funny.
Susan has a pretty nice body.
Sure wish I could of been a gardener at Gabby's exhibition. Whew.

After Bree was mistaken for a hooker, when she was walking home with the broken heel, I thought that the car pulling up would have been a man looking for a "date". That would have been funnier than Betty Applewhite picking her up.

I thought the exact same thing.

Good episode

I liked the Gabby and Carlos scenes as well.

I'm not a big fan of what what looks like will become a driniking problem for Bree.

I sure am. I want to see her get hammered and make a total ass out of herself. Someone needs to step up and relieve some of the burden from Susan.

This ep. was somewhat of a return to form. If Bree's alcoholism story is played as a people thinking she's one when she's really alright, it might prove amusing. If they take the route of other shows, then I have little hope. Carlos is quickly becoming one of my favorite characters; he really cracks me up the way he deadpans and underplays everything.
Also, did anyone else think that police detective was a little out of bounds by just cuffing Bree and not even giving her a sobriety test? Or did she refuse it thus meaning he could do whatever he wanted? My knowledge of DUI laws is rather hazy, and I hope I never learn the hard way!

The more I think about it, I'd rather see Bree become a high-class hooker than an alcoholic. Just think, she could have money problems and resort to hooking as a way to cling to Rex's memory (since he had a penchant for hookers.)

Or she can begin selling marijuana in the suburbs to make ends meet.

Oh, wait. That's another show.

I don't agree. It was predictable and unfunny. Gone are the days when I would look forward to this show. Now it's good background noise.

While I agree this show isn't nearly up to the levels it once was, this was one of the better episodes lately.

I'm out.

I watched this episode and last week's episode yesterday, and I just don't enjoy it as much as I did in the past. Granted, the episodes were better than earlier ones, but they're just not good enough to keep me watching on Sunday. I think that my wife still wants to see them, so I'll record them for her, and if I am around, I'll watch, but I won't be going out of my way to see them anymore.
