LOFL! Gabby and Susan fighting cracked me up! Then, Edie driving by, and seeing them on the ground fighting, saying to herself, "They call me white trash?" LOFL!

That was a great line. This episode was full of them. Susan telling Gabby, "Your daughter can take down a small deer!" LOFL!!!Great episode, really. I am really interested in this mystery with Dave. I just hope Karen McCluskey doesn't pay for her suspicions in the end. I really like her, and I don't want to see her dead.

Pretty good episode but it seems like the same thing happens every week, Brie, Lynette and Susan do something that they shouldn't do but do it because they are only looking out for themselves.
I mean, come on, Lynette kicks over Toms base and blames it on her daughter. The week before she pretends to be someone else on the Internet to trick her son.
She needs to get a life.

I usually like the housewives, but I found what Bree and Lynette did in this episode to be so despicable, it left a bad taste in my mouth for the entire episode.
I am a vegetarian, and if my mom ever pulled what Bree did, I would never speak to her again. What a flagrant betrayal of her daughter's values, not to mention her grandson's digestion. And to speak ill of the child's mother in front him was just wrong. Whatever sympathy I had for Bree for losing Benjamin went up in flames at that moment.
And Lynnette screwing over Tom AND blaming her daughter for it? That is so beyond the pale, even for Lynnette. I usually like Lynette, because despite her crazy schemes, she usually means well, but here she was just being a selfish, controlling shrew.

I think if there was something else worth watching in the 9 p.m. EDT timeslot on Sundays, I'd stop having this show on in the background because it's just treading water for me. Sure, these housewives are living up to the "desperate" moniker, but it sure does feel mean-spirited and despicable on a weekly basis.

When you start liking Edy and disliking the other housewives, the show is in trouble.
And what is with the total lack of storyline for Katherine??

there were some pretty good quotes in the episode. thought lynette putting the guitar on the floor was a little over the top. dave could turn into an interesting character, want to see what happens with him.

Great episode. Tons of great one-liners. Interesting that they seemed to have turned Katherine into more comedy relief now that her daughter's gone.
And the kid played Susan's kid is really cute

^^ Well, I feel like we're probably finally seeing more of the real Katherine. That year when we were introduced to her was all about hiding and keeping secrets, putting on a different face for everyone else's benefit. Now things are out in the open. She's happy.
Some great moments, but it would nice to feel like this season was going somewhere. Yes, we do have the Edie's husband storyline, but that's on such a slow boil that it's hard for me to care too much about it. I'm wondering if his getting closer to Tom factors into his dastardly plans.

Agree with Jadzia. I was watching the episode, and thought to myself that Tom would do himself a favor leaving Lynette. What a controlling, manipulative, joyless ****. Honestly, how could anyone want to be with someone like that?
Bree was really over the top as well. I'll admit I laughed at her comments, but man what on earth was she thinking? Does she really have so little self-control. I found Orson's accusation of her a little odd as well. I thought it was strange that he thought she could somehow keep the baby from the birth mother, but he could have really shredded her for her behavior on that day.

It's about time the old Gaby came back when she threatened to drive into Bree's son's car. If she could only put on a little make-up and do her hair. Just because they are broke and have kids doesn't mean she has to totally let herself go.

Since you're a vegitarian, any kids you have you would forbid from ever trying meat simply because you don't eat it? You would not let them decide for themselves if they want it or not when they're old enough to make those decisions?
