Thanks for the information, Rowlf_The_Dog. I am excited for Bree's return. However, for her to return pregnant is just ridiculous, considering that they could have ACTUALLY written her as pregnant, since Marcia Cross really was pregnant, during the third season. However, she could return carrying Danielle's baby, to prevent people from knowing that Danielle got knocked up. I could totally see Bree doing that. I bet that's it!

As far as Andrew is concerned, I have noticed that he hasn't been as "active" this season. I would love to see him move forward in his sexuality. My hope is that Bree will eventually accept that he is, in fact, gay.

I can't believe that Lynette will have cancer! It's such a horrible thing! I know that Felicity Huffman will be great in her portrayal of Lynette with cancer. I just hate cancer. My Grandmother went through colon cancer, and it takes a lot of out you. I am so thankful that my Grandmother came through it, and by the grace of God, she is healed. I don't really want to have to be reminded of it on one of my favorite shows.

I'm looking forward to seeing the last two episodes. Of course, I'm sad that the season will soon be over. It has been such a great season! It really has. I'm sure to be quite impatient waiting for the eventual DVD release.

As fas as last Sunday's episode, it was okay. A little tame compared to the past few episodes. Sure, it revealed a great deal. Victor hiring the thugs to beat up the parking guard. The fact that Edie really has feelings for Carlos, and Carlos saying he'll be there for her. Tom suspecting Lynette of having feelings for Rick. Lynette needing the attention that she gets from Rick, which she feels is lacking in her marriage with Tom. Susan and Mike finally getting together. It was a decent episode, but, it really lacked the humor of the past few episodes, as it was more serious in tone.

Just one more reason why I am glad that I dupe each week's episode to DVD+RW so that I can spend the summer hiatus rewatching the season again and getting primed for its return for season four.

I think that there should be a way for people to be prevented from finding out what is coming up, so we can all be surprised. Even if someone finds out, I don't feel that it is right for us to know ahead of time. While I know that Rowlf thinks that it is cool that he has an in where he can find these things out, I don't think he should be allowed to present them here before the episode airs. That is just me. I will just have to quit reading any of his posts from now on, because it spoils all the surprises when he does this. Anyone else feel the same way?

Oh gosh here's my "friend" again LOL

I put the spoilers in white this time because it is the finale ... You have to highlight it to read it and be spoiled ...

It's truly your fault that you got spoiled ... Particularly when I stated "read at your own risk" ... So you highlighted it ... and you got spoiled ... not my fault ...

Some people like the scoops ... I know I do ... and I have gotten a lot of positive feedback on them ... So I will continue posting the goodies whenever I find them ...

I honestly do too ... I hope that when Andrew comes to the forefront though he doesn't turn evil again ... I do hope he has some relationship drama ... that could be fun ... He finds a boyfriend ... but finds himself attracted to a girl too ... and he juggles the two ... Something comical ...

dvdunkie, I disagree completely. I enjoy being spoiled after not-so-great episodes because it helps me find motivation to continue watching! Besides, don't want to read? No one's forcing you. RD goes through some effort to get this information and you're just acting ingrateful right now.

I'm excited about what Cherry said about Andrew, but I hope they don't turn him straight half-way through and explain that he just went through an "experimental stage". If it were a storyline of him still being gay but trying to date girls to please his mom that would be great and would add some drama and comedy into the show!

It's not Rowlf's postings that bother me.......like he said, he does them in 'white' and we can read them if we want, and skip them if we choose. It is the other posters who talk about them before the show is aired that bother me. Maybe we should ask those who insist on discussing his "finds" before the show is aired to also highlight them so that those who want to know can read them and those, like me, who want to watch the episode first, can, without the plotline being ruined.

I think that what Rowlf does should be commended. And it was because of my postings months ago that he started 'highlighting' them, and I have thanked him numberous times for that.

I'm in agreement with you there dvdjunkie. I hate spoilers and like to be surprised when I watch the show. I'm not blaming Rowlf because, as mentioned before, spoilers are put in white. It's the people that discuss the spoilers after they read it. It's the main reason that I've partially stayed away from this thread.

Thanks, Rowlf_The_Dog! I am also adding my request to see the rest of the pictures.

To those complaining about spoilers, and people discussing them...well, the very nature of these threads will lead to spoilers. There is hardly any way to avoid them.

YW MM1 ...

On to tonight's episode "What Would We Do Without You?"

It was a fantastic ep ... waaaay better after last weeks' fizzle of an ep ...

Let's break this review into storylines:

SUSAN: It is the one year anniversary of the night that Mike almost proposed ... After a long night's wait ... Susan finally gets engaged to Mike ... albeit in a way she didn't expect ... She actually popped the question ... So after all the cancellations she made (from the non-wedding with Ian) ... She has to re-order ... re-invite ... and re-flower a brand-new sans Ian wedding on the same date she had decided before but guess who has decided to get married on the same day ???

GABY: Well it seems that her wedding day is quickly approaching. She has only known Victor for 3 months ... but due to Victor's electoral win, they are speeding up the wedding to keep up appearances. And since Susan canceled her wedding, it freed up a caterer, florist, band and date. So now Gaby has pretty much taken over Susan's day. When Susan finds out the girls get into a tiff but it quickly is squashed with wine and chocolate. Which leads to one of the funniest lines of the night: "If I were a Lesbian I would marry you." LMAO After many drinks and many chocolates the girls have decided to do a double wedding. After the drunken haze wears off they have realized what they have done. Both of the girls are not all for it, Mike wants what Susan wants, and Victor is completely against it. Susan uses Mike as an excuse not to have it ... and the double wedding is canceled.

EDIE: Since Mike is moving in with Susan, Carlos has taken over the lease. That completely squashes Edie's plans in getting Carlos to move in with her. So after talking with Mike's ex landlady, she convinces her that Carlos is a drug addict and whore addict. So, with Carlos without a home, he takes up Edie's offer to move in with him. The truth about Edie's trickery comes out. Carlos tells Edie that he is not in love with her. Edie is late and thinks she may be preggers with Carlos' baby. Turns out the test is negative ... crushing both of their spirits. So, they decide to move in with one another, and try having a baby, even though they are not in love (which I personally think is a horrid idea.) In the end we find out that Edie had lied to Carlos ... she hadn't tossed out her birth control pills ... and was secretly keeping a stash hidden in her purse.

LYNETTE: Tom and Lynnie have been fighting for a week about Rick's firing. Tom has had the last straw and convinces a marriage counselor to come and talk to them under the ruse that he is an old college buddy of his. Lynette finds out the truth and is utterly upset with Tom. Their fighting escalates in the bedroom and she falls and bumps her head on the nightstand. At the hospital, they do a CAT scan and the doctor thinks she may have lymphoma.

Next Week :: Polly Bergen arrives as Lynnie's mom ... a wedding(s) occurs ... Carlos finds out the truth ... and the return of BREE !!! LOOKING SO SO BEAUTIFUL!

Great re-cap, R_T_D! You missed one thing, however, about Edie's story. She has absolutely NO intention of getting pregnant. Which is why she continued taking the birth control pills, and hid them inside her purse. Apparently, Carlos finds out in the finale.

I absolutely LOVED this episode. It was great! As R_T_D said, much better than last weeks rather boring episode. It looks like, from the previews of the finale, that this season will be an almost flawless season, ranking right up there with the first season!

I don't want Lynette to have cancer. Please, please let it turn out that she doesn't have cancer.

I can't wait for the finale, and the return of Bree!

Oops ... You are absitively posilutely right ... I completely and briefly forgot about the small scene at the end ... I will edit my original post to include that ...

It is kinda funny ... and sad ... at how fast they are wrapping up Edie's storyline ... and we all know why ... cuz ... BREE'S BACK !!! WOOHOO! It was kinda like super fast how #1) Carlos found out about the landlord deception ... and #2) How he's gonna find out about the birth control pills ...

Poor Edie ... I hope she isn't completely thrown to the wayside ... and I hope she does get an Emmy nod ... particularly for that touching "I'm Edie" monologue ...

Last nights episode was great! I'm so happy to see this show fully returned to the greatness of Season 1 (though I did have a few doubts over the past few weeks) and not sinking back into the overall boringness of Season 2.

And many finally take a big sigh of relief as Susan and Mike finally make their wedding plans (that opening scene was great!). Though I do have some small doubts about them actually ending up together (can it really happen?) I'm glad to see its on its way.

I really hope Lynette doesn't have cancer. But if she does, I know Felicity will play it briliantly, as she always does.

I'm still not so sure I like Gabby's soon-to-be husband, but we'll see how long his character actually lasts (any bets that this Sunday will be his last appearance?)

Edie and Carlos continue to be entertaining. And boy apparently nothing gets by Carlos in terms of Edie hiding things.

And of course, finally, Bree is comming back! Oh how I've waited for this! It's going to be great! I can't wait for Sunday.

lord-of-sith, i love you. all my friends seem to like victor, and i think he has such a jerk! he is so mean to gabi. when he was yelling at her last week? ouch. talk about jack***!

i also hope that lynette doesn't have cancer. we all know that someone is going to die, and i don't think it is going to be lynette because now everyone will be expecting that.

and i swear, if bree comes back pregnant, i am going to put a bullet through my head. they could have writter her in pregnant SOOOOOO long ago that if they do it now, i'll scream at the top of my lungs. glad she's coming back, though, i missed her!

and am i the only one that thinks edie and carlos really should have a baby?

There's a preview of the upcoming season finale of DH, which showcases Gabby's wedding to Victor. I couldn't get a direct link to the video, but, if you go to the link, above, and watch the content cycle through (at the top right), it will eventually come to part featuring Gabby's wedding. It's a short clip, but, it was great to see Marcia Cross back, and a bit of a preview of Gabby's wedding.
