Kiersten Warren must have bought her yabos since she was on Saved by the Bell College Years. She was busting all out of that dress.

Yeah - the black newborn - seen that before, but..."I gotta get the color fixed on this thing" was classic.

Best baby-birth scene since "V: The Final Battle"

The wedding went all over the place.

"Man, I got to get the color fixed on this thing.."

It's been a pretty loosey-goosey episode, but not in a good screwball way.

The birth scene was somewhat predictable, but a silly way to resolve Gabby and Carlos's issues.

The writers probably meant for him to say "I miss you, Monique."

But the way foreign languages don't always translate the way you think they will, what he actually said was "You miss me, Monique."

So I guess it is his wife...anyone think that he didn't actually kill her and that's why he ran over Mike?

The Laurie Metcalf character confirmed that it wasn't the wife. He sure seemed to know who she was though. Could he be a serial killer and removing teeth is his 'thing'?

Part of me thinks it would be too obvious if he was in fact the killer, but I could be wrong.

Hilarious part. All I could think of at that point was that "Pwned" pic of the couple with the black baby that's on the internet.

Or A wife. The teeth missing and body being found at Orson's golf club paired with him recognizing her and not being shocked together makes a pretty solid case for him doing in "Monique".

Looks like we'll be since some more of

Jesse Metcalf.

I'm still on the fence about this show. If it doesn't get really interesting really fast, I'm going to drop it. I got suckered into coming back due to all the hype surrounding this season's changes, and everything I've seen so far indictates it was just that- hype.

The black baby thing was such a reset, I don't care that Orson is probably a psycho, and Lynette's problem is idiotic.

Liked the birth and the wedding toast exchange...Tom was hilarious in that scene. I think it's clear that Orson killed/aided in killing Monique, another woman that we had yet to hear about...so his "killing" tally is at least 2 (unless he's only helping out by removing the teeth and someone else is doing the actual killing). We'll see.

"They've cleaned up the amniotic fluid, so let's start the conga line."

How did the lady not recognize the body, did the killer do a face transplant or something?

Much, much better. Probably the best episode in long time. I like the theory about pulling teeth being Orson's "thing".

As explained earlier in this thread, the body they needed to ID was ANOTHER woman and not Orson's previous wife Alma. Carolyn Bigsby only knows what Alma Hodge looks like, and this is Monique in the morgue.

I enjoyed the episode quite a bit. I like the addition of Kiersten Warren, she fits into the cast well. They have returned to the format of bringing everyone together and I think that is fundemental to getting this show back on track.
