Missed this one due to Halloween activities. Any word on a replay?

(I can't read each post for fear of spoilers so, if someone knows, if they could post real clear text like: REPLAY: Sat at ____)

Thanx!

I'm such a huge fan of Marcia Cross so next week is "can't miss t.v." for me. I think because of the damn Ravens it's coming on at 5:30 on Sunday.

Do most obits have pictures? I don't think many in our local newspaper have them....

I'm also wondering about Mike. He mentions there could be "one bad person" among the good people on Wisteria lane. His prints could also be on file if he is a federal agent or police officer....

Great show!

Not all obits have pictures, but I know you can have a picture with it if you want. So, unless the ladies did the obit, I don't think Mary Alice's hubby would have included it if they were in the witness protection program.

No, Nicollete wasn't in this episode.

I thought Mary Alice didn't even have an obit. Isn't that what Zak commented one an episode or two back, asking his Dad why he didn't submit one?

And another to Marcia Cross in next week's episode.

Anyone have video caps of that shot of her in the negligee? She's got a good body for someone her age.

I didn't know Mike was an agent. I missed the part where they explained how he lost the screwdriver and what he was doing.

I also think the whole notion of a witness protection angle is a bit out there. Wouldn't Mike have a reasonable picture and description of whomever would have been the party in question? Why, short of groundbreaking plastic surgery, would he not know who the person was?

My guess, it will be somebody we either haven't seen yet, or somebody that nobody suspects. I also don't think the Zak/Mary Alice storyline is related to the Mike storyline.

And with witness protection, the masrhalls sweep in and erase you if unwanted attention is called to yourself.

I originally started thinking Zach hurt/killed his younger sibling, and his parents found out and to protect him is covering it up. But this is full of holes as someone on the block would know that they had another kid, and now all of a sudden they don't. And no one would move with a body to a new house. A lot of red herrings are being thrown at us.

I think that I must have missed a lot of this episode. When and where did Susan meet up with the police man? Where did the screwdriver come from? I guess my PVR screwed up something, because I was lost for most of the episode. Was there a scene when the mother in law tells Carlos that she thinks that Gabrielle is cheating on him?

Carlos told his mother he thinks Gabrielle is cheating on him. She simply told him that she would find out and take care of it. At the end she told Gabrielle the story of Carlos's father.

Susan found the screwdriver in the neighboors house when she went to feed the cat. The police didn't bother to take it when they responded to the break-in. She then gave it to the police officer at the neighboorhood watch meeting. He claimed he would do something about it. When he asked her out stated it was in the lab for testing.

On their date, in which Susan first had to go on stakeout with the officer in the crack neighboorhood, the officer changed out of his uniform into street clothes. Upon doing so, Susan saw the screwdriver still in his car. He never turned it in and he lied to her about it. She became upset, called him "Carl in disguise," and decided to walk home, taking the screwdriver with her. Mike then picked her up, screwdriver and all.


Sorry if I recounted some of what you already knew.

Nope, you definitely mentioned things that I did not know. I guess I will watch it when it is reaired on Saturday night.

Thanks for the recap.

No one seems to have noticed that two of Lynette's kids have disappeared.

I love this show. The hour goes by much too fast, and the wait for next week's episode is way too long.

lots of favorable comments here. I forgot to watch it, mostly because I think I'm losing interest, but mention of the dark twist has me curious enough I'll probably watch the rerun on Saturday.

Lynette's other two children must take a lot of naps.

Loved the scene between Susan and the hooker. And when the guy pulled up, she said she was "on a break."

Great thing about this show - it always leaves you wanting more.

Nobody talks about them. Not even between the couple. The only they keep saying is that the kids are asleep. Just weird.

I wonder who will play any yet unseen neighbor or wife? IF they have a gest housewife, my vote would go to Ashley Judd.
Of coures I would not want DH to take the route of Will & Grace where everyweek is a new celebrity guest.

Two more cases of Chuck Cunningham Syndrome?

Yeah, Lynette did have two others kids didn't she? Guess it wasn't my imagination, and who was Chuck Cunningham?

Anyplace I can get a wallpaper of this show?
