Desperate Housewives - Crime Doesn't Pay

The 'Desperate Housewives' are back on our screens again, bringing with them comedy, mystery and bloodshed… there's nowhere quite like Wisteria Lane, is there?

Edie may have pushed it too far
So after months of screaming at the television every time Edie falls for another of Dave's lame stories, finally she seems to be onto the real Dave Dash. Eh, he blanks people who claim to know him from the past, he changes mood every two seconds and he's just plain creepy… how has it taken her this long to cop on? Maybe his credit card is very user-friendly! Anyway, you'd have to worry for Edie at this stage. It's only going to be a matter of time before Dave discovers that she's onto him and then what? Will he kill her too?

Tom v Lynette – What a job interview!
You've got to love Tom and Lynette's sense of fair-play when it comes to being competitive. You just can't stoop too low as far as they are both concerned. It's great to watch but wouldn't you be feeling a little miffed afterwards if someone said all that stuff to you?

Orson the Kleptomaniac
So just what we need, another reason to dislike Orson. Let's face it, he wasn’t exactly the nicest character in the world before all this stealing malarkey kicked off but now he's just plain annoying. He craves attention like a child would. First it's being competitive with Bree's children, then it's stealing her friend's belongings and showing her up in public. What is the guy's problem? Other than his serious inferiority complex over Bree's success, that is.

Murder most foul!
Bet Gaby is regretting that decision to be all honest and direct now after Maria reacted by knifing her husband in the back. I didn't see that one coming. It was obvious that there would be repercussions but the murder still came as a bit of shock. And for a brief moment I was wondering whether Gaby and Carlos were going to go for the body dump option rather than call in the cops. But best for them to get the law involved, especially after the whole Victor affair.
