"They Asked Me Why I Believe in You"
Susan's longtime book agent and dear friend, Lonny Moon (guest star Wallace Shawn), gets into financial trouble; Lynette is forced to go out to bars night after night with her man-hungry boss, Nina (guest star Joely Fisher); Bree re-buries Rex amid police suspicions, and Gaby hires hotshot lawyer David Bradley (guest star Adrian Pasdar) to defend Carlos

Oh, so Susan's an author? I've been wondering what she does for work. I think this episode was a lot better than last week's. I'm glad we got to see a Lynette plot that doesn't have to do with her bratty kids. I remember someone on this board said that Lynette's boss just needed to get laid. I guess they were right.

My god, I could not believe what Bree did to Rex! Well I can, but my word that was extreme. I really liked Rex and I hated seeing Bree bury him in that apparently unmarked grave and throw her ring in there. Rex laid in his bed dying thinking that his wife killed him and now things are even worse. It's not going to be soon, but I look forward to seeing what happens when she finds out George was responsible.

Lynette really taught her boss a lesson with her bar dancing. :p Before that it was hilarious seeing Nina walking in the next day all happy and carefree. She was really using Lynette as a crutch though.

I love Wallace Shawn and it was great seeing him as Susan's rep from her publishing company. Lonny made some bad choices and it was a good move that Susan didn't make a bad choice by signing with him.

So David Bradley got hired as Carlos's lawyer by saying he would sleep with his wife if he didn't hire him?! Well I guess it worked.

Paul Young is back at home, will Zach follow suit? I suppose he'll end up in Utah first. Did Mike really tell anyone outside of maybe Susan and Mrs. Tilman what he did/was going to do to Paul? He might just integrate back into the neighborhood.

So the Applewhites have I believe their retarded son/brother chained in the basement who killed a young girl in Chicago? And the plot thickens.

Definately better than last week's but it really didn't have THAT much to live up to. I was extremely pissed at Bree for what she did to Rex. First off, she had no idea what the circumstances were for Rex's belief that she did it and he had a DANG good reason for suspecting her. Secondly, it WAS her fault in the sense that she was the one who brought George into her house. I really hate the idea that Rex is going to have to spend eternity in a crap grave simply because he FORGAVE Bree. That isn't cool.

I don't think I ever really realized how hot Felicity Huffman is until now. Her bar dancing could have been embarrassing but she handled it SO well and I enjoyed it immensely.

Wallace Shawn. I love Wallace Shawn. Susan was great with him and I thought it was hilarious that he messed everything up so badly by misreading signals. I hope she forgives him. Reading women is tough enough and he's in a bad spot already.

Speaking of Susan I think that what she did with Zach will be a deciding factor for Mike to break up with her. He REALLY doesn't take betrayal well and even though she did it for Julie I don't see him forgiving her when he finds out.

Now we get a clear picture of who is in Betty's basement and why he is being held there. All the news reports tipped me off that this would be a plot to watch and it isn't disappointing me yet. I still think it is juicier than the Mary Alice Young stuff last year.

Dang, Gab's lawyer is sleazy. I can't believe Carlos fell for that. He IS NOT gonna stop chasing Gab if he's their lawyer. At least if he wasn't Gab could probably file a restraining order.

Another thing I liked about last night's episode was that all of the housewives were together in a couple of scenes. Lately it seems like they have all gone off in four seperate directions and the idea of them relating to each other's desperation was a major selling point for the series last year. Hopefully this becomes a trend again because having all of the stories being seperate is really hurting this show. ****.
