(S05E03) "This guy is up to something." - McCluskey about Dave
There were much better lines said in this week's episode than the one I just put above (more on those lines later). However, what McCluskey said is what has been interesting me the most since the
season premiere: what is Dave really up to. We get that he doesn't like McCluskey at all and that he is trying to befriend everyone on Wisteria Lane. But what is his ultimate game plan? Who is he really after and why? These questions, and the fact that Dave is so creepy and well played by actor
Neal McDonough, help keep me glued to my TV during
Desperate Housewives and make me think that Dave's storyline may turn out to be as good as, if not better, than Katherine's storyline last season.

(S05E02) "I think I just heard the milk go bad." - Andrew to Bree and OrsonThat line Andrew said to escape an uncomfortable situation was funny but not that important in the overall episode. However, many
Desperate Housewives characters could have said it this week as all of them found themselves in situations they would have preferred not to be in.
Susan had to face the fact that the men in her life met one another. Gaby tried to maintain her social status but ended up being the laugh of the party (well, Carlos was). An overworked and stressed Bree had to cook for a neglected and fed up Orson. McCluskey had to apologize the Edie in order to get her cat back. While Lynette signed a breaking up email with the words "Love, Mom." Ouch!

(S05E01) "She's back!" - Lynette about EdieEven if most of the
Desperate Housewives fans knew well in advance that there would be a five-year jump in the season finale, many were left wondering what the hell would happen next. One of the questions
Desperate Housewives fans wanted answered most was what made Susan and Mike divorce. Luckily for fans, we've got a pretty good idea what broke Susan and Mike up in this week's season premiere.

(S04E11) "A church isn't a place for questions. It's a place for answers." - Bree to LynetteAfter months without new episodes of
Desperate Housewives, I was like Lynette this week: I had questions and wanted answers. Sadly for me, Lynette's quest for answers and faith took precedent over my own curiosity and hopes.
As you know, I'm
a spoilers addict, so my expectations for the remaining season 4 episodes of the series were pretty high since I was promised loads of answers about the mysteries surrounding Katherine and Dylan. Because of my wanting of answers, Lynette's storyline, which took most of the air time this week, felt flat.

"Uncomfortable people don't ask questions." - KatherineLast week introduced "Kree" or "Bretherine" (two suggestions made by TV Squad reader
D) to us. Most of the TV Squad readers who took part in
our poll seemed to like the nemesis and their respectful yet devilish fights. After last week's great episode, I had high expectations for this week's
Desperate Housewives: I wanted more Bree and Katherine face offs, I wanted to get a few clues to the Mayfairs' secret, and I wanted the hit man hired by Carlos to take care of Edie.

"We better start coming up with better lies." - KatherineAfter a controversial season premiere (in case you haven't heard,
ABC had to apologize for a joke Susan made while in Adam's office),
Desperate Housewives tries to have the Mayfairs, who moved to Wisteria Lane last week, settle in.
In last week's TV Squad DH poll, 68% of the voters said they thought the Mayfairs were a good addition to the show. Based solely on last week's episode, I have to agree. But now that we are getting more backstory about the Mayfairs and seeing them interact more with their neighbors, have we changed our mind?

"No more secrets. From now on, we tell every shocking details of our lives." - LynetteThe ladies of
Wisteria Lane
are back and it's certain that they won't follow through on the promise they made to each other to not keep secrets! The
Season Three finale of
Desperate Housewives may not have been the most
cliffhanger-y out there, but still, fans (I include myself in the lot) were wondering
what was in store for the ladies and their men this upcoming season. But most importantly, we wanted to know if Edie survived her suicide attempt.

After watching "
Getting Married,"
Desperate Housewives' third season finale, most viewers were wondering if Edie survived her suicide attempt. Even if the episode didn't leave us with a wide number of cliffhangers, we did ask ourselves other questions such as how long Gaby and Victor would stay married, how long before someone finds out Bree is not pregnant, how would Lynette cope with her illness, and how would Susan and Mike's marriage turn out to be. We have some answers for you!
