Finally, the excellent Alfre Woodard (who has been underused the entire season), was finally given something to work with. And the moment she grabbed Caleb's arm when he told her Matthew had sent him to Danielle's, you knew something was going down. Betty Applewhite locking the other son in the basement was priceless. For all the evil that goes on on this show, it's great to see two people get what they deserve.
Gabby and Carlos convince their maid Xiao Mei to carry their baby, which would also allow her to stay in the U.S. since she's been getting deportation letters that she's hidden from the Solises. This storyline provided a bit of comedy in a night of dramatic stories as Xiao Mei doesn't quite understand that she's just getting the sperm and egg put into her uterus — not actually having sex with Carlos — so she ends up naked in their bed.
And a way to finally leave us desperately wanting to come back next week to find out what exactly Tom's secret is: sending him to Atlantic City with flowers and show tickets. I was wondering when that "secret" Tom told his dad about would finally surface. Maybe he has a secret family in Atlantic City Lynette doesn't know about. Maybe he's still seeing his ex. We'll just have to wait and find out.
To cap this amazing episode off was the torching of Susan's house. I swear, the sight of Edie in that fur jacket slowly inching over to Susan's with a flower pot of gasoline with that look of vengeance in her eyes was priceless. And quite reminiscent of the flawless series premiere where Edie's house is burned down instead.
Some questions remain. Will Bree continue to be with Peter? She knew he was a sex addict, and it's obvious Andrew seduced him. But that's statutory rape: Andrew is 17. What is Lynette going to do about Tom, and did Ed just plant that information to have a reason to fire him? Which Housewife will die in the season finale and which is pregnant? My prediction is Edie on the latter.
