First two pages of pictures(except for the last couple on Page 2) are from this episode.

OH AND EDIE IS BACK!!!!

FINALLY, a spoiler-free thread. Anyways, I think Susan's ally will be Edie.

Maisy Gibbons is an interesting character whom I think should be upped to series regular in the fall.

FINALLY, a spoiler-free thread. Anyways, I think Susan's ally will be Edie.

I think so too... the "surprising" wording nearly gives it away.

Sounds great thanks Brent :)

More pictures are now up!

TV Guide description:

When will they learn? Secrets always come out, especially when the neighborhood hooker is busted in broad daylight. That's right, Maisy Gibbons(Sharon Lawrence) is going down and she's naming names along the way which means Bree's twisted hubby is about to become the talk of the town. Much like Poor Lynette, who faces her own scandal after a lice outbreak at the boys' school leads straight to her door, but nothing compares to what Mrs. Huber's sister(Harriet Sansom Harris) is hiding about a certain Wisteria Lane suicide and a Utah woman known as Angela.

Sounds great! :cool:

I saw the preview and it looks GOOD! I can't wait to see it!

Access Hollywood showed a small preview of this episode yesterday, oh man it's gonna be good :D

Maisy Gibbons being arrested... oh that was great!!!! "GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME" Well why weren't you saying that around god knows how many men? :lol: :p

WOW... Paul looks like he's in kill mode after finding the tape of Angela as Mary Alice and Felicia(Martha's sister) together.

Bree bribing Maisy was great... especially the part about "Oh sweetie, it's not that they were friends with you, it's that you weren't that nice to begin with" :lol:

Edie and Susan-LOL and wanting to break into Paul's house. :eek:

Rex seems to be having trouble with his medication that George replaced and is about to be humilated when word gets out he had the affair with Maisy.

Excellent episode! Very breathtaking! Paul gets more evil every episode. Hilarious how Susan and Edie broke in!!

Great episode!!!

Will there be an update on what happened with Gabrielle and Carlos switching her birth control pills? Just say yes or no if there will be any updates--no spoilers! :lol: :)

and FINALLY--next week we get a Mama Soliz update :cool:

Loved Edie & Susan getting together for a night out and to break in.

I really liked tonight's episode...

Bree/Rex - Wasn't really holding my attention tonight, but I did enjoy what I was paying attention to. The scene in the restaurant was hilarious!

Maisy - I LOVED THE OPENING SO MUCH! When she started running away from the cops, I just started singing "Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do?" I hope that by next season, Sharon Lawrence is a regular. How hilarious was it when she was telling the police officer to leave!

Susan/Edie - Edie was GREAT tonight! She and Susan breaking into the Young home was wonderful. And for once, Nicollette's sternum was NOT visible!

Paul/Mary Alice - This is still keeping me tuned in. The Angela mystery is really intriguing me...

Lynette/Triple P - Great stuff tonight! I was ROTFLMAOing the whole time Lynette and Tammy were talking in the spacewalk!

House of Solis - I'm really starting to feel for these two. Great scenes all around, especially them washing the clothes in jacuzzi.

Overall, great episode!

All I will say is watch during May sweeps.

Awesome episode! LOL What was up with Bree's hair in the pigtails? Anyway, who here thinks that Felicia will be Paul's next victim? I mean he looked pretty pissed off while watching that tape. I can't believe that Edie made out with Paul so that Susan could get away. That was weird, but cool.

That's what I am thinking. I am just DYING to know what this Angela stuff and Utah is all about. I've got theories but the biggest one is what is the Forrest last name? Her and Paul should have married at that time(around when Zach was born), so does that mean Paul's name was Forrest too? Did he change his first name? Things don't add up.

DH was back in style last night with a 14.4/22 rating, 16.1/24 in the overnights, 24.00 million viewers and a 10.7/25 among adults 18-49. It helped the premiere of Grey's Anatomy, too with double digit ratings: 10.0/17, 11.3/18 in the overnights, 16.25 million viewers and a 7.2/18 among adults 18-49.

Thanks Pav, I thought this episode would be high rated and it was cause of the long absence :)

I loved the Edie/Susan stuff, they could be wickedly awesome friends if they wanted to be ;)

Loved Bree in the restaurant when she said she'd scream everything if Rex left.

How priceless was it seeing Gabby stealing a port-a-potty :rotflmao:

Maisy Gibbons is great, Sharon Lawrence rocks

Maisy - I LOVED THE OPENING SO MUCH! When she started running away from the cops, I just started singing "Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do?" I hope that by next season, Sharon Lawrence is a regular. How hilarious was it when she was telling the police officer to leave!

I've been hoping for that since her first episode. Such a great character.

All I will say is watch during May sweeps.
:D YES!!!

You'd think that she'd have shown signs now or something (throwing up maybe?) I dunno but how should I know, I'm not a girl and doubt there's a chance that I'll get pregnant :lol: so how would I know what being pregnant feels like?

:) I liked Bree in pigtails. They're hot. ;)

:D YES!!!

Well... remember, the show was on a month-long break for us, but not for the actual show progression. My mom didn't find out she was pregnant last year until she was about 3 months along. It's only been 2 1/2 months or 5 episodes since we saw her pills switched.

Oh and remember it's JUST a show. :p

Also, unless Carlos and Gabrielle were having sex everynight night (hell, I would, and you know you would too).... they could end up skipping around the days where Gabrielle can conceive.
But I would bank on her getting pregnant, and Carlos having to deal with her affair, without leaving her.

:lol: :p

OK... so I admit it. ;)

I wonder what Mama Solis will say when she awakens next week? Will it be about the affair, or that Andrew hit her, or both? I'm thinking affair, and what's all the stuff at the funeral "Susan, I'm now part of the drama", Bree's mouth open, and Julie "I'm gonna mourn now".

I think Mama Solis will blab on Gabrielle about her affair but Gabrielle will use Mama Solis being in a coma as a scapegoat and pretend that she imagined it.
