Another great episode. As others have said, highlights included the spats between Bree and Katherine as well as Gabrielle's monologue. Still not sure how I feel about the direction that the Edie-Carlos storyline is headed in, but it's hard to tell at this point...

LOFL! This has got to be the quote of the night:

Stella, trying to convince Lynette to use marijuana to boost her appetite and ease her nausea, "Come on, let momma score you some kick ass chronic." Great line!

Oh, my goodness! LOFL at Lynette being stoned out of her mind, and ninja kicking that lamp. Oh, and Bree sending Susan to that obstetrician on the seedy side of town! Hilarious!

Okay, so Carlos isn't going to have Edie whacked. I didn't think he'd turn out evil. Victor, on the other hand....he'll have Carlos killed if he finds out about Gabby and Carlos.

What a terrific episode!

Wow, absolutely awesome episode. I agree with PeterPanFan, best episode of the season, so far.

What in the world is Katherine hiding? She's lying about what happened, to throw people off the track. What is the deal with that chunk taken out of the floor, and why is she crying? I believe she killed her husband, but, why?

I'm really loving this season!

Yay! My Rowlfie is alive! It's great to see you here. I was worried that you haven't been on, lately.

Like Season 1, this mystery is going to be great, I think. However, also like Season 1, the mystery is going to drive me crazy trying to figure it out! Which is good, I guess, since Season 1 was an excellent season!

I agree that this was the season's best episode thus far, by a long shot. Anytime the writers manage to get the whole cast in one room, good results are guaranteed.

It's already been announced that one of the 5 main housewives is going to die by episode 7. Alot of people I know think it is going to be Lynette, a few I know think it will be Eddie, but those are the two obvious suspects. I think it will actually be GABRIELLE. I've thought it since before the season began and I am positive of it now. I predict that Carlos' hitman is going to make a mistake and kill Gaby instead.

As for Katherine's mystery. I think it has less to do with the father and more to do with the daughter. I believe that Katherine's daughter died. Not sure if it was an accident or malicious. I believe she replaced her daughter with another girl. Perhapos the father came to claim the daughter and when he saw it was a different girl Katherine murdered him, or perhaps the father is still alive. Could Katherine's younger husband actually be the daughter's father? Either way, whether the mystery involves the father's murder or not, I do believe that Katherine's real daughter died.

Lovin Bree faking the pregnancy. I hope Danielle gives birth soon, and with no complications. I find it wierd that the animosity between Bree and Susan from last season is just forgotten. I do not remember them coming to a truce.

I also want to see them bring back Zach. Now that Mike has his memory back he should remember that he wanted to be a part of Zach's life, and Zach needs someone who cares about him in his life.

God,I would CRY if Lynette died! She's my favorite!

The mystery IS really disturbing this season. At first,I thought the father had raped his daughter. Now I'm thinking otherwise.

I thought Katahrine was going to KILL Julie when she saw them in that old room! I FREAKED out,literally LOL. Julie is one of my favorote side-charectors. What do you think that crack was?

Do you have a source? I haven't heard this.

They did come to a true toward the latter part of the season.

All of the main housewives are under contract with the show through the 2011 season ... none of them are getting killed anytime soon ...

Someone is scheduled to die around November sweeps ... and another ... halfway through the season ...

Also a tornado is gonna hit Wisteria Lane during episode 9 ...

And ... Daniele gives birth in episode 6 ...

That doesn't mean they can't kill one of 'em off. To be honest, I doubt they will but not because of the contracts. If anyone remembers the hype around Bang last year, you will also remember the "news" back then that a main housewive would die and look how that one turned out.

Here's the summary from TV.com:

http://www.tv.com/desperate-housewives/ ... es;title;0

If There's Anything I Can't Stand
Episode Number: 74 Season Num: 4 First Aired: Sunday October 21, 2007 Prod Code: 404

Edie is shocked when she receives some news at the gynecologist's office. At the baby shower Bree's friends throw her, Bree's ex-mother-in-law Phyllis (Shirley Knight) discovers her pregnancy is a hoax. Finally, Wisteria Lane welcomes a gay couple to the street.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sounds like a great episode to come. The return of Phyllis, and the gay couple moving to Wisteria Lane. Too bad that Bree's stepmother, Eleanor, played by the fabulous Carol Burnett, isn't added into the mix.

I can't wait!

It's been a great episode, so far.

Susan is a freaking mess! She's a gay man's worst nightmare!

I thought for sure that Phyllis was going to spill Bree's secret. I really liked what she said to Bree, at the end, "You know Bree, you're not the only one who would like a second chance." Great stuff.

Edie is so on to Carlos and Gabby! The $&!# is going to hit the fan!

I'm so loving Desperate Housewives this season!

Wow! Another great episode! Amazing run of episodes, so far.

I love Lynette and Tom. I really want them to stay together, always. Felicity Huffman should be nominated for every award show that comes along, and win every award!

Darnit! I really want to know what Aunt Lily wrote on that piece of paper. What the heck is Katherine hiding?!

Next week looks like it's going to be freaking crazy! John returns!

The whole triangle with Gaby, Carlos and Edie is going to come to head pretty soon, it has to. The whole 'who gave who the crabs' is probably the funniest sequence in the whole show last night.

What did that note to Dillon have on it? How long do we have to wait for that to be found, and will it be found by the right person?

So far Season Four has been pretty good, and a lot better than in the past. I still maintain that this is the best written show on television today.
