The tone was set right from the beginning when we saw Bree attending a dinner party with yet another nameless group of high society types. The hostess is Maxine Bennett, played by the otherwise hilarious comedic actress Jane Lynch. Her parties are always wonderful and her food is always perfectly prepared and served. Maxine insists that she does all of it herself, but Bree doesn’t buy it. Everything is just too perfect and she knows for a fact that the food she serves takes hours to prepare. Once Bree voices her suspicions to the others, there is a knock at the door. It’s the F.B.I. with a warrant. They go into the kitchen and lo and behold there is a young Chinese immigrant woman preparing the food. Maxine is arrested for involuntary servitude. So the show starts with a woman getting caught for having a Chinese immigrant slave. A Chinese immigrant slave who is a better chef than Wolfgang Puck.

As Gabrielle is coming home from a day of shopping she sees the former Chinese slave with the priest and Carlos in her front yard. Carlos tells her that he has agreed to keep her there for a few days while they arrange a trip for her to return to China. At first Gabrielle is fuming at the idea, but then one day she sees that the slave girl is cooking gourmet food and doing a super professional job at sewing her fancy garments. If only Russian mail order brides were this talented, I’d be living on easy street. Instead I’ve got cigarette burns on the carpet and an itch that won’t go away. Also, it’s worth pointing out that throughout this entire episode Eva Longoria’s idea of comedic acting is to overact every line to such a degree that it is painfully unfunny.
