For this week’s summary, I like the one on TVguide.com. Here is the link.

The big new event this week was supposed to be the arrival of the new neighbors. Honestly, they didn’t seem to have too much going for them to begin with, but one site with spoilers does seem to predict that it will get better.

Susan spent this entire episode, and honestly most of this season so far annoying me to death, and Mike as well. Now that he has to pay for her mistakes, they aren’t so cute anymore. It seemed to get varying responses from viewers on the ABC message board, but her character is getting a bit old to me.

The best scene in the entire show was the crab cake scene. For those of you who missed it, Edie had crabs. She gave them to Carlos, who gave them to Gaby, who gave them to Victor. So Gaby cures Victor by telling him the crab shampoo was a new type of lotion. So Edie is at Bree’s shower, and she smells the lotion on Victor. And then she is offered a crab cake by a waiter, who then offers one to Carlos, Gaby, and Victor in turn. Cherry has the cameras focus on each person as Edie’s eyes follow the waiter throughout the room and realization dawns. It was an amazing piece of symbolic work, and hilarious as anything. It was obvious enough for everyone to understand it, but subtle enough not to be over-dramatic. Props to Cherry for that. But does anyone wonder, did Edie really get it from a tanning bed? And if she did, why can’t Gaby just use that excuse too?

And as for the new family, fans are becoming extremely disgruntled with how much of a sheep Dylan is being. There is an entire rant on her on the message boards. I admit a bit of frustration too. It is like she wants her mommy to tell her what is going on so she can continue to be the good little perfect sheep she was. And do I remember correctly hearing something before the season about how she is supposed to be as slutty as Danielle? Maybe I’m wrong about that though.

The Tom and Lynette cancer bitch moment was beautifully written. That couple has the perfect honesty that any couple should attribute to. He is able to tell her how he feels, no matter how much of an ass he feels doing it, and she responds by honestly considering what he said. Their moment was beautiful and heartfelt and very very real.

Still no idea why Andrew wanted his mother to have a baby shower so badly. Maybe to keep the scooter? And that was why he invited the bitch-in-law? Any theories from readers on this one?

And is anyone else excited for next week, with Jesse Metcalff coming back?
