The Cat Fight was HILARIOUS. :brent So Carlos and Gabby are going to have a baby with no strings attached and no changing of birth control!!! HAHA... Betty totally owned Bree when she got her to keep quiet about Caleb. It's also nice to FINALLY hear Andrew's hit and run brought up again. It's been over a year(in TV) since it happened.

Oh and the football thing in the opening was especially good since the show was against football. :lol:

Better than last week by far. Oh and LOTS of Betty. That woman is perfect for this show...

AWESOME episode!!! Yes, the fight between the nun and Gabby was SO DH style. I thought it would be like Dynasty, but this had the DH touch to it. Perfectly done by Marc Cherry.

And wow Betty is awesome. She and Bree are a lot alike. Poor Bree is being blackmailed by more than one person...Andrew and now Betty. Nice to see Tom back to work and Susan falling in love again. I wonder if Mike will show up again with Susan? He seems like he as forgiven her.

Can't wait for the next episode (which is Feb. 12).

Ugh, another hiatus. Oh well. At least it isn't as long.

Edie/Karl - good to see them for at least 2 seconds, LOL. I love those little opening segments.

Betty/Bree - I am LOVING the connecting of these two! I'm finally starting to like Betty and her storyline. Alfre is talented but Betty just wasn't doing it for me. Finally though...

Susan/Ron - Not totally in our faces which is nice. I'm liking Jay Harrington. Dr. Ron is perfect for Susan.

Matthew/Danielle - I liked that brought up again. Also nice to see Caleb a little more too.

Lynette and Tom were fantastic. You can really see the cracks forming on their marriage. I have to admit I was on Lynette's side. Tom was acting like a child. Looks even worse in the next episode.

But the highlight was the Gabby/Carlos story. I LOVED the catfight. LMAO. It wasn't totally overdone but it was great. It was also nice to see Gabby agreeing to have a baby with Carlos and he admitting he wanted to be with her forever. I really like them as a couple, as twisted as they are. Heh.

I hope not... we'll just have to see them breakup again for the 18th time, but I do hope Mike is on more. There's so much potential with him that does NOT involve Susan!!!

honestly, this was the first episode in the entire run I was bored in, I actually found myself flipping over and watching the Supernatural repeat on WB most of the hour.

Wow. I thought the catfight was perfect. The episodes have gotten much better since about November.

Yes... a few of the early ones were really boring.

Oh and it beat football. :D

At 9 p.m., "Desperate Housewives" scored a 15.3/22 to move ABC ahead of FOX, which got a 14.9/20 for the final hour of the Seahawks' 34-14 win over Carolina. "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" was third for NBC at 6.8/10. CBS averaged 5.7/8 with an "NCIS" rerun, while The WB went with a "Supernatural" repeat.

last week wasn't that great either but it did have it's moments. All in all this Susan/doctor storyline is getting thin already because we both know within 3 or 4 episodes she's going to decide he's not Mike and start pining for him again.

Excellent Episode, Gabby/and The Nun was awesome.. Bree vs Betty was fantastic.. I will admit the previews for upcoming episodes don't look that good, but this episode and last week are very good.

A good episode, but I thought there would be more of Edie.
