I thought this was yet another mediocre episode and the season doesn't seem like it'll be improving anytime soon.

Paul confronts Susan?

Oh and Susan and Mike are getting married.

Medicore? What more does Bree have to do for you to realize how GOOD she is? I agree with Brent, best episode by far of the year.

The Applewhite mystery was good enough for me... I actually didn't like the Bree fit. Lynette was hilarious. Oh and that lawyer, manipulative.

Best Season 2 episode thus far, I like the part where Lynette was dancing in the club... it was awesome.. and I loved the part at the end were Bree was throwing a fit about Rex accusation. Good Stuff.

I liked pretty much everything about this episode. Susan probably had the weakest story this week, but it was fun seeing Lynette let her hair down and shake her booty. Gaby and the lawyer had some fun segments and Bree had her usual great moments too. Plus they're finally advancing Betty's storyline, so that's a plus. Good episode.

I feel sorry for her because she doesn't know the whole story... he wasn't believing the doctor until the doc put intense pressure on him that "it's gotta be something your eating" He didn't believe it outright.

Oh I want that slime George arrested.

I love that we are seeing another side of Bre. WHEN have you ever seen her really go off? Usually she just cleans. Rearranges something. She never yells, or gets angry! This added great depth to her character. Though I wish they would have pushed Edi in the grave and buried her alive. (sorry..I can't stand her)

Paul young is home? But where's Zach? And what is all this mail that keeps coming to him? The yellow package that Betty dropped off, and then the box? Why is Zach getting this stuff? Interesting.

And we now know who is really in Betty's basement. It's not her husband, it's her son. Her mentally challenged son at that. Who murdered someone. AHHHHHHHHHHH.....

I did like this episode.

Definitely the best episode so far this season. It was nice to see all of the major cast members in a scene together; that really has been missing. I think we would all appreciate the Applewhites a bit more if Betty got more involved
with the other housewives; right now, she's just sort of a new outsider that none of the other major players think much about.

I like where the Bree storyline is headed. Suspcions are definitely falling on her now. I wonder how long George will let her hang.

That was my first thought... throwing your WEDDING RING into your dead husband's grave? Man, if that doesn't make you a suspect nothing will. Andrew and Danielle are going to be even more fuming mad when they find out about that.

and just why does Bree think she is so "perfect"? Need I remind her that she almost killed her husband by giving him onions in the first episode, and made the bed while he was having a heart attack? I'm just waiting for them to confirm Rex was murdered and for Bree to have to turn on George, which hopefully will be soon.

I didn't like Bree's fit either. A meltdown with her could've been done much better.

I dunno if I liked Lynnette's bit with her dancing. I liked it because she basically told her boss to knock it off, am I right?

Entertainment Weekly ran a review on season 2 thus far and agreed also that it's much weaker then last season and the show has seemed to switch to "seperate housewives" because none of the housewives are together anymore. That Susan's has turned into a romantic comedy or something, Lynnette's has turned into some 80's movie, Gabrielle's was something (they said her tagline would be "her milkshake brings all the boys to the yard")

EW ran that after the first 3 episodes of the season. The last two episodes are as good last season.
