The latest episode detailed the aftermath of the fire. Carlos, after being given a CT scan, learned he might get his vision back. It seems a small bone fragment was placing pressure on an optic nerve, and removing it could restore his vision. While Carlos was overjoyed at the idea of seeing his little girls, Gabby wasn’t thrilled he might see she lost her looks. She had a month to get in shape, and tried her best, but then the surgery was moved up to next week. She and Carlos had a heart to heart in which she was honest about her looks. He told her a touching story about how it was really her personality and laugh that made him decide to propose, as he wanted to hear that laugh every day of the life. She told him she realized she wanted to spend every day with him just then, up until now it was pretty touch and go!

Orson, as a consequence of getting his nose broken, began snoring insanely loud. She wanted him to get an operation, but he refused out of fear he’d die on the table. She then refused to sleep in the same room with him. Desperate, he claimed he read chamomile tea lessened snoring. He made a batch, but drugged Bree’s so she’d fall so asleep his snoring wouldn’t wake her. This caused her to be late and loopy for a book appearance the next morning. Bree used this to get Orson to agree to the surgery. At the end we found out a juicy tidbit, the doctor doing the surgery is Andrew’s new boyfriend and they just moved in together.

Porter became a suspect in the fire for threatening Anne’s husband. Lynette asked him point blank if he did it, he said no. She wanted them to be honest with each other from now on, but she had lied to him about Anne. He was trying to call her, but she had left the hospital and wasn’t returning his calls. She said she didn’t know where she was. However she had paid Anne a lot of money and taken her to the bus station to leave town. She told Anne that when the baby came, she and Tom would do what the could to help her, but to contact them and not Porter. Anne gave her a smile and said “Oh Lynette, there is no baby, there never was!”

Susan finally learned that Mike and Katherine were dating. She didn’t know what to think, and she was upset Bree knew and didn’t tell her. Bree thought Katherine should have told her and finally told Susan that her problem was she never wanted to divorce Mike. Bree said she loved him still and was upset she let her marriage fail, but she never had closure. Bree said she had to decide to tell Mike the truth, or let him move on. In the end Susan decided to let him move on, giving Katherine her blessing.

Finally Dave went through most of the episode having serious guilt over all the people he killed in the fire. The death toll was up to seven. Mike called him a hero for saving him, but he got upset that people kept saying he was a hero. Mike asked what he could do to repay him? Dave said just be his friend, he hadn’t had a really good friend since his brother died. Later Dave went to the police and lied to them, saying he saw Porter coming out of a back room before the show. The police knew this is where the fire started, and Dave learned from Edie that Porter was a suspect.

My Thoughts
So I was sure that something would happen this season to get Gabby back into supermodel shape. However after this last episode, and Carlos’ talk with her, I’m thinking perhaps they won’t do that. I actually want to see her back to her diva self to be honest. Also what happened to Virginia? Is she out of their story? I’m still waiting for her to croak and never having changed her will.

I think it’s obvious Susan is not over Mike and is going to cause big problems for him and Katherine, thereby ruining her relationship with Jackson. Maybe Katherine will realize Mike still loves Susan too, and she and Jackson will have a drunken night together commiserating?

Andrew’s new story was a big surprise and welcomed one. They haven’t done much with him at all, so it’s nice to see him getting a story. It looks like the gay neighbors and being pulled in next week, telling Bree they think Andrew’s boyfriend used to do porn! Oh I bet he did it to put himself through school. I am picturing a scene of Bree renting a porn and watching it!

Lynette gets on my nerves more and more each episode. I know she’s looking out for her kid, but they are making her out to be a terrible mother, getting worse every week. Porter is going to find out she lied to him and it won’t be pretty. Speaking of lies, is Anne lying about the baby? The way she told Lynette it seemed like the whole thing was a scam, that she used Porter to get the money and run. She was trying a few weeks ago to convince him to get money together and leave with her. Hmmmm. Then again she could be pregnant. I could see a baby getting dumped on the doorstep in a few months. I mean the woman left her one teenage son with her abusive ex-husband, so I could see her dumping Porter’s kid off on their doorstep too.

Finally Dave is just one sick evil man! I can’t believe he set Porter up to take the fall for his crime. He clearly won’t be around after this season. He’s going to have to get his just desserts in some way or form.
