Mary Alice voice over! Blah hospital blah recovery as a metaphor blah. Everyone is back in the hospital for some stupid reason or another, basically just there so the camera can pan to them as Mary Alice blahs and blahs and blahs. Dave walks down the hall and goes up to the detectives. He tells them the night of the fire he was back by the storage room, and he saw Porter Scavo run out. Dave, you beige bastard! And we're out.
Allegedly on next week's episode: Bree and Andrew talk about his gayness, Carlos may or may not have his sight back, Katherine and Mike and Susan deal with their triangle, and Dave probably does something shady.
And by shady, I mean beige.

Why would it matter that Orson's doctor is Andrew's boyfriend? It definitely caught me off guard, but then again, I had forgotten Andrew was even gay since it hasn't been mentioned in like 3 seasons.
Also, there is no way in hell that model Gaby would have eaten all those ribs in public (without barfing them up in the bathroom 10 minutes later) OR that Carlos, being the asshole that he was at the beginning of this show, would have found that appealing.
Great last picture of Beige...I mean Dave.

I don't really know how I feel about this episode.
The highlight, for me, was Orson's hysterical snoring and Bree's subsequent expression. And her pancake spiel.
And also, I don't know where you live, but in Canada, they have the McRib...
They brought it back awhile ago.

The McRib is seasonal here in the U.S. At least it has been in every place I've lived. I thought it would be here through the holiday season, but the McDonald's I went to downtown didn't have it on the menu anymore. Boo.
I liked the Bree/Orson storyline, and the Katherine/Susan interaction. I'm a bit confused about Anne's motives. Was it her intention this whole time just to get freaking bus fare and money from the Scavos so she could leave her husband? I'm assuming so, but it's not like she was poor. Surely she had some money saved. But it is disappointing that all the curves we've been thrown this season have been predictable.

I agree, Andrew does have pretty low standards.
(I thought my standards were low but even I wouldn't do THAT guy. Though I want that statue on the window sill behind him.)
I kind of like Dave's lips.

Speaking of continuity, this has been bugging me since I saw the scene. Bree slept on the couch, and was p.o.'d about how uncomfortable it was, but hello......the last time they were fighting, didn't Orson sleep in the guest room...in a bed that looked as luxurious as their master bed? argh

Good recap - but I'm going into depression - from McClusky deprevation.
The spouse abuse story line hit pretty close to home - reminding me how poorly our society can handle such situations. Unless the woman (or man) has their own resources, they are pretty much on their own - no one will offer meaningful help until after it's too late.

qupert: I kind of thought maybe she was sleeping downstairs on the couch b/c the cguest room was too close to the Master BR and therefore she could still hear the snoring...but of course I am probably giving the writers too much credit for that one...

Great review as always. Despite what McDonald's was saying last year the McRib is not gone forever. You can get them in Southwest MO and Southeast KS. I have had 2 and it was more than enough. Only got 2 because it was on sale.
