Good ep. My only gripe is that Mike's storyline seems a bit too dark to fit in with the rest of the show. I wonder if Cherry's intends to make one of the spin-off shows from this series about Mike, since he seems to inhabit a different world entirely?
Andrew is starting to give off a creepy Anakin Skywalker vibe; while Bree can be a bitch, I think Andrew might turn out to be flat out evil.

Very interesting. I think Andrew could have have lying to the minister. His comment after the sermon was extremely creepy.
Don't know why Carlos is still willing to put up with Gabby. She may be "beautiful", but she is just so cold and calculating. I wouldn't trust her...or him.
I hope Mike really gets a line on what his neighbor was up to. Really interesting look on his face as he read the list of toybox owners.
Susan's mom needs to start acting her age. Felt really sorry for Susan tonight.
I am glad to see the storyline advancing. Don't like having a break next week, but I do understand the network's need to try and interest new viewers.
Can't wait to see what the 4 new episodes bring out.

So Mike's also been grieving for 15 years? Wonder how that jives with his criminal past.
Andrew is the anti-christ. You almost feel sorry for Bree after what Andrew laid out for the reverend.
Lynnette just got another kid in her stable now that she's taken on Mrs. McCluskey as well.
Susan's in pain, but Sophie can't do anything right.
Gabby and Carlos deserve each, they are such users of people.

The whole Mike storyline makes no sense whatsoever. He arrived at that neighborhood on the trail of Diedre, right? What information led him there? He's acted all along like he had no idea which house on that street, just that for some reason he knows its someone on that street... um, ok. It would have made sense if he knew all along it had something to do with the Youngs but it looked like he never made that connection until he saw the list of people who bought the toy box.
I feel like they are making this stuff up as they go now.

He might have found out that Deidre went to Wisteria lane looking for her abducted son (assuming Zack/Dana ends up being her kid), but that was all he had. Or he had even less and just found evidence saying she had went there near the time of her disappearance.

I was under the impression that the Youngs had been living on Wisteria Lane for less than 15 years, and that they killed the woman that came to take Zach away in Utah before they moved

Not sure about that, but I don't recall hearing when the Youngs moved in.
It seems seem odd that the trunk with the body was buried under their swimming pool in Wisteria lane if that's the case. I'd think Paul would have hid the body somewhere in Utah rather than risking transporting it and burying it in a new town.

The whole I love vanilla, but sometimes I want chocolate analogy.

Can somebody tell me why we're supposed to like any of these twats? Hell, any characters on the entire show for that matter. I originally thought the show was supposed to be about the relationship each woman had with her circle of friends, and that's the way it seemed in the first episodes. Now, it's just each woman in her own little world doing something sneaky, nasty, stupid, offensive, take your pick.

However, i'm beginning to feel the same way. I've already written Gabby off. Sure i'll enjoy her panties and whatnot, but don't expect anything resembling sympathy from me.
Lynette, Susan and Bree are on the border with me. Though, Susan's antics have been toned down slightly, so that might change. And any malice I might feel towards Lynette is absorbed by her hellspawn.

This episode had a serious lack of Housewive interaction. They all kind of did their own thing this episode. Not that it's bad, it just felt weird not having some type of coffee or card-playing scene together.

At this point, I think Andrew is trying to regain control of his secret a little bit - his father having betrayed his confidence by telling that to Bree.
