'Desperate Housewives' recap: Lost and Found

But speaking of Edie's new man, Dave, how freaky was he this week? I know I mentioned that last week, too, but it seems to only be increasing. He stole Mrs. McCluskey's cat so that she'd be nice to them? Um, scary! Although there was no conclusive evidence that he was actually the culprit, that's definitely what the producers want us to think. And I do believe it. This guy seems prepared to do much worse than steal a cat to get what he wants, so that was really just small potatoes.

I should just put this out there before I begin this next thought: I j'adore old ladies. So when Dave made Mrs. McCluskey feel like crap for talking to her cat and not having any loved ones around, I felt simply rageful. This lady's so grandmotherly (well, in an exceptionally cranky sort of way), and I couldn't help but think of my own grandmas, Maxine and Lillian. So you can just imagine how happy I was when Mrs. McCluskey asked Katherine if she could use her computer to dig up the dirt on Dave. You go, Granny! I'd love it if she were the one to crack the mystery and bring him down. (And on the Katherine note, can we see a little bit more of her, please? I miss that lady. Don't waste Dana Delany's talents by having her appear for only a few moments!)

And now we're finally to Gaby. Poor, poor, poor Gaby. No, literally. The Solis family is hard up for cash. So Carlos took a masseur gig (guess he got his massage therapy degree during the five years we didn't see) at the country club. The club, natch, that Gaby used to belong to and, well, preside over as queen. When she and Carlos were invited to a friend's birthday party there, Gaby was très excited. But Bree was the bearer of bad news — Gaby couldn't actually go because the friend didn't want the help mingling with her club-member friends. Or, as Gaby put it, ''It's gonna be the start of our slow slide from gowns and galas to flip-flops and keggers.'' Ha! I enjoyed that one. Of course, Bree couldn't leave the let-her-down-easy scene without her own biting quip. After Gaby tried to get the invite reinstated by hatching a plan to tell everyone that Carlos quit his job at the club, Bree hilariously said, ''Oh, hon, I don't think that's gonna fly — he's already rubbed too many members.'' Hehehe. Sex jokes get me every time! I'm just surprised the writers didn't throw in anything about a happy ending.

Again, after Gaby snuck into the party, with a hapless Carlos, and then got kicked out, the once heinous, constantly bickering couple provided the sentimental moment of the evening. Gaby said she was losing everything, while Carlos said he was happier than he's ever been. Cue the tingles! Awwww, I'm beginning to really like them together, thanks to this new hardship that they're facing. But also, where's the drama? It can't just be like a Lucy-Ricky slapstick routine every week for the pair. I mean, I'm enjoying it now, but that'll get old if that's the only place they go with the poor/fat/overworked story line that the Solis family is facing.

Okay, TV Watchers, so what did you think of last night's episode? Do you think Dave Williams really stole Mrs. McCluskey's cat? Are Bree and Orson going to survive the season? What do you think Porter might do in retaliation for Lynette's deception? Are you missing Katherine like I am? Burn up those comment boards, please!
