The show opens as Bree is showing up at George's house as the cops are there taking it apart. She is playing innocent acting as if she doesn't' know where he is, even though we all saw her let stand over him and watch him die last episode. Ahh, but that's not all. The detective shows her an evidence bag and asks her if she recognizes its contents. "those are my panties!" Bree exclaims. (Heh. She said panties) But that's not all. It seems George has had a shrine room dedicated to Bree, including a life size sex doll in her likeness. And this isn't the healthy and innocent fanlike shrine room/sex doll like my Natalie Portman one. No, this is a creepy one.

Now if you're upset that George is gone from the show remember that this is Wisteria Lane. There is always an abundance of psycho's waiting in the wings to take up the slack. And on that vein we see Zach, creepy obsessive kidnapper son of Paul the murderer (but actually the real son of Mike the rugged Marlboro man who used to date Susan). He's back. Paul brings him inside and they talk over lunch where Zach asks about who his real father is. Paul lies and says he doesn't know. And I gotta say there is something about that kid that creeps me out. He has this weaselly mouth that is like 3 times too small for his face. It's just not right. This shows casting director needs an Emmy, if not for being good at casting psycho's than for his/her next casting coup.

Thats right, in a casting masterstroke we see the man, the legend, Michael Ironside. One of the best character actors this side of M. Emmet Walsh has now entered the world of Desperate Housewives. Who can forget his work as the voice of Splinter Cell's Sam Fisher, Richter from Total Recall or the role where he captured our hearts, Ham Tyler from V? He plays a mystery man named Monroe. We see him in his office packing up his gun and handcuffs as the newspaper showing Caleb's capture is on his desk. As he's talking to his assistant we also see him quickly use an asthma inhaler. I would now like to officially declare that this inhaler will become a major plot point in the next few episodes at a critical junction. Something like he is in a position where he needs to use it or he will die but can't reach it yet someone else can, or something along those lines. I say this not because I have any inside info, but just because it's such a random thing for him to do that it must have some sort of story significance later on. Mark my words. His assistant Jerry asks if he needs any helps saying "the guy is dangerous." "He's a halfwit." Monroe say's, he can handle him just fine. Yeah, just make sure you don't lose your inhaler.

Over at Lynette's she's having coffee with the girls and Bree is explaining the whole George incident, minus the whole "I stood over him and watched him die" part. But since she is surrounded by an ex junkie, a greedy adulterer and an arsonist, it's not like anyone would bat an eye. They are interrupted by a car across the street at Bree's house. It's her son Andrew home from "re-education camp". You may remember him as her evil gay son who vowed ultimate revenge on Bree. When Bree tells him about what happened with George he blames Bree for inviting him into their lives and causing her death. He then tells her that he's inviting his friend Justin over for the night. When se asks what kind, he say's "the real good kind". Wow, what a manslut.

Speaking of mansluts, Susan's dad is over her place for coffee. Susan wants to get to know him but he's still not interested, even when she goes over old family albums with him. Oh look, here she is on a crappy show about Superman with Dean Cain. And here she is on Seinfeld with unusually big breasts. And here she is in the movie Heaven's Prisoners with Alec Baldwin. Whats that? No, those aren't fried eggs I'm holding, I'm actually topless.
