The pot is a'stirring on Wisteria Lane, but I find myself not caring about the ongoing subplots:
Mike having to setup a meet between Zach and Diedre's dad. What does Felicia get out of it?
The Caleb endgame now that Bree knows it all, more or less. Will Bree's daughter find herself in peril because Caleb is again obsessing over one of Matthew's girlfriends?
Not sure if any of those question will spark my interest any higher.
Gabby getting her own little servant was a bit self-serving, but gotta give them props for the lingerie show.
Tom is an idiot. Nuff said.
Susan's insurance woes subplot is sadly lacking in...in anything.

The Tom and Lynette storyline was by far the stupidest thing they've ever had on the show. I was half-expecting Joe Rogan to come out and award them $50,000.

Usually watch this in HD (and live), but tonight, I set the ReplayTV to record the SD and took a nap. I suppose i'll get around to it sooner or later.
Or later than sooner. I'm in no rush. Hell, not even the thought of the way overexposed Longoria in lingerie is enough to get me to rush to watch this.

Horrible. I won't even break it down.
My HDTV feed was out of sync with the audio by at least a second. Had to watch in standard def ... and that was the highlight of the episode.

Susan and her ex getting married just to have insurance coverage, anyone ever heard of "pre-existing conditions"? Then they have to lie to Edie.
What is up with this show?

Her marrying someone who is a lawyer for this reason made it even more ridiculous.

I don't know what's more disgusting/unhygenic; a toilet soaked donut or a pound of raw bacon.

Ugh, I can't even think about it now without wanting to hurl.
Probably the most disturbing thing I have seen on television since Nip/Tuck ended.

<-----ex- insurance salesperson here (long time ago)....
Group Policies are different, especially for large groups. Pre -ex conditions can, and mostly are covered. However, the stretch is that the surgery was already scheduled.
