It will be interesting to see Mike's mother. Of course, a war between Bree and Edie is surely going to be the highlight of the show! Make sure to tune in, Desperate Housewives fans!

Okay, that demon child, Kayla, needs to go. Lynette should have slapped her a LOT harder. I am against child abuse, but, I think I'd make an exception when it came to that little bitch!

Excellent episode! I'm so glad that the women of Wisteria Lane got together, and turned their back on Edie.
I REALLY dislike Kayla. If she were to be ran over by a car, I wouldn't feel a bit sorry for her, or Tom. Tom is an ass, because he will not see the fact that he has a demon child. I know, that's horrible, but, she's a horrible child!
Wow, I can't wait to find out all the juicy details about the whole thing with Dylan! Next week is going to be crazy! 2-HOUR season finale! Yay!!!

ANOTHER SOLID episode! The entire season has been overall top notch (Must-see for me, and 2nd best season next to their freshman year IMO). Hated the Mayfair story at first, but all the plots have been developing along quite nicely.
- Nora's spawn deserves more than a single bitchslap.
- Actually felt sorry for Edie. Hoping Sheridan and her villainess aren't really exiled from the show permanently.
- So, is the real Dylan hiding or dead?? I recall Katherine crying over some grave in one of the earlier episodes (I think?)...

Good episode, but my hopes of Susan dying in childbirth were crushed.
So since the father obviously wasn't in on the switching of the child, I am guessing that Catherine must have accidently killed her child, after kicking the father out, and replaced her with another child. My question would be wouldn't the new Dylan remember her old life, before replacing first Dylan? Obviously it is why she can't remember Julie, etc, but how old was the original one supposed to be when she when her mother left Wysteria Lane the first time? I am guessing 5 or 6 maybe?

The Dylan story certainly got ramped up. Clearly not the same girl. This S4 mystery has been well executed.
Kayla keeps getting creepier and creepier. She actually scares me.

Edie is still trying to sell Mary Alice Young's house?!?!
My understanding of the Dylan story is that it is not as bizarre as they're leading you to believe (also not as believable as you'd expect either...).

We all guessed that. We didn't know it.

I think the writers are paying homage to a truly great book called "The Bad Seed" which was made into an equally great movie in the 50s.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bad_Seed
This kid is just as big a psychopath and just as creepy as the little girl in the book/movie. And I wouldn't be at all surprised if she meets the same end as the girl in the movie (not the book). (As an "homage" mind you -- they wouldn't be plagiarizing or anything -- strictly as an "homage". )

One of the top stories on CNN now (at least in the RSS feeds) is whether or not Sheridan is gone from the show. There is a quote from Marc Cherry that basically confirms what I posted as a possible spoiler last week

Good episode. Bree vs. Edie, Susan vs. Mike's mom (Cecelia Weston, ballooned since TV's Alice). The little girl was starting to assimilate into the family and then all of sudden she's talking the boys into torching a restaurant and jumping off the roof. A little odd. Yeah, we knew Dylan isn't the same girl so the paternity thing wasn't very surprising or her lacking a birthmark.
