The police arrest Porter, over Lynette’s protests. Tom assures Lynette, “We’ll get a lawyer, we’ll get through this.” They hire their neighbor, Bob, as their lawyer, and Porter tells them he has an alibi: He was at Edie’s stealing her gun! Since no one saw him there, Lynette tells him, “Honey, that’s not an alibi. That’s a confession to another crime.” She surreptitiously returns the gun, without anyone being the wiser.

At the follow-up after Orson’s nasal surgery, Bree is shocked to see a a photo of the doctor with her son! She’s hurt that Andrew never mentioned he was living with someone and invites him and his boyfriend, Alex, to dinner the next night. She also invites her “dear friends” Bob and Lee, who think they recognize Alex, but they can’t say from where. At dinner, Alex admits that he and Andrew are engaged. Bree sees Bob and Lee exchanging looks and summons them to the kitchen, where she gets them to admit where they’ve seen Alex before — in a gay porn film!

Bree takes Andrew aside and shows him Alex’s DVD, but he already knows about Alex’s “sordid past,” and that he did it to afford med school. He tells his mother, “We both know I have sort of an interesting past myself, so, you know, glass houses… stones. Not to mention the fact that I love him. Very much.” When Bree admits that she just wanted to make sure that Alex is being honest with him, Andrew says, “This might be about the nicest thing you’ve ever done for me. Not every boy can say that his mother’s willing to rent gay porn for them.”

Carlos is overjoyed that he can now see light after his operation, but his vision will take a few weeks to come back. That leads to problems for Gaby, because he’ll now see that she’s sold his prized baseball signed by Lou Gehrig. She asks the collector she sold it to give it back, but he refuses, unless she dances on the table for him. When she comes home, Carlos’s vision has improved already and he wants to know where one of their paintings has gone. She admits that she had to sell it. He says he doesn’t care, so she confesses to having sold the baseball too. That, he is not okay with, and calls her a “featherhead” and a “little thief.” “This ‘featherhead’ kept our family afloat for five years,” she says, saying he has no idea what she’s had to do to survive. She gets the ball back, but Carlos, realizing the sacrifices she’s made, sells it to buy her a beautiful dress.

Susan is trying to be okay with Katherine dating Mike, but little MJ is flat out against it: A zoo visit ends with MJ throwing a sundae in Katherine’s hair. Susan realizes that she’s going to have to make an effort to show MJ that she approves of his dad’s moving on. Mike agrees it’s a good idea if Susan comes along on their next outing, but Katherine isn’t so sure. Susan’s presence smoothes things over as MJ “shows” Katherine how to bowl, but when Mike unthinkingly puts his hand over Susan’s, MJ, ever hopeful for a reunion, drops the bowling ball on Katherine’s foot. MJ finally says he’s waiting for Mike and Susan to get back together. Susan admits that one night, out of desperation when MJ was horribly upset, she told him that “maybe” Mike was coming back. She asks Mike, “Don’t you ever think about it?” He doesn’t answer.

Edie tells Dave that Porter’s been arrested. He’s staring hard at a woman and small child across the street and is so upset that he breaks the glass he’s holding. Porter’s bail is set for $20,000, and Tom is counting on their “emergency fund,” to help them out. He doesn’t know that Lynette used that money to pay Anne Schilling to leave town. Edie admits as much to Bob, swearing him to secrecy. The Scavo house is already “mortgaged to the teeth,” so Lynette has no choice but to mortgage the restaurant. Warren Schilling sees Porter, who’s out on bail, and threatens him, saying, “One day, you’ll be walking home and you’ll just disappear.” Terrified, Porter leaves town and Preston takes his place at the arraignment. He fools Bob, but not his parents. Tom insists that they tell the truth and forfeit the bail, but Lynette says to trust her, and for now, tell everyone that Preston is Porter.

Dave goes to the cemetery and vows to a pair of gravestones that read “Laila Dash, Beloved Wife” and “Paige Dash, Beloved Daughter,” “Soon, I will be with you, but first Mike Delfino has to pay. I want him to lose what I lost.”

I got these spoiler from several websites so they are pretty trustworthy!

Thanks to an injury caused in the fire, Orson broke his nose. As a result, he’s now snoring loudly.  Orson refuses to have the surgery that could fix the problem. Bree does a cooking demonstration for children, but since she’s using sleeping pills due to Orson’s snoring, she acts extremely odd.  

A doctor informs Carlos and Gaby that Carlos’ sight might be able to be fixed. They’re both happy, but Gabrielle’s worried about what Carlos will think of her looks.  She thinks she has a month to lose the weight, but the doctor informs her the best eye doctor in the state can perform the surgery in a few days. Can Gabrielle get the surgery postponed?

Susan learns about Mike and Katherine. 

How far will Lynette and Tom go to protect Porter? Lynette suspects Porter started the fire.  Gail O’Grady continues to guest star as Anne.

Mrs. McCluskey and her sister Roberta (Lily Tomlin) appear.

So lets start this blog with the main characters of DH.  I dont want to overwhelm you all because there is alot to this show.  I will do my next post about the beginning and how the show came about and then move on from there.

In Season One there were 13 main characters.  The 4 leading ladies are Terri Hatcher who plays Susan Nayer.  She is a divorced mom with a daughter.  Susan is also a chidren’s book illustator.  Felicity Huffman plays Lynette Scavo who seems to have the perfect marriage.  She was a former businesswoman who decided to give that all up to raise her four kids.  Marcia Cross plays Bree Van de Kamp.  She strives to be the perfect mother who has to do everything with perfection.  And Eva Longoria Parker plays the sultry Gabrielle Solis.  She is an ex married model who has an affair with her 17-year old gardener.  Oh it gets ALOT better…lol.

Other character include Nicollette Sheridan who plays Edi Britt who does not get along with Susan from the minute they laid eyes on each other.  Edie has a reputation of being the slut on the block. Steven Culp plays Bree’s husband Rex.  He has some pretty strange sexual desires and Bree is more econservative which causes issues in the marriage.  Gabrielle’s spouse is the hot Carols.  He sees Gabrielle as a trophy wife becasue she is beautiful and sexy.  And then there is the sexy plummer next door Mike Delfino who is played by the talented James Denton who becomes Susan’s love interest. 

Brenda Strong does the voice of the show’s narrator Mary Alice Young.  She committed suicide in the first episode of Season One.  Mary’s widow, Paul Young, is played by Mark Moses and her son, Zach is played by Cody Kasch.  Zach is a very troubled teen and we later find out he is actualy the son of Mike the plummer.  More on that later.  Andrea Bowen plays Julie, Susan’s daughter and last but not least is the gardener Jesse Metcalfe who plays John Rowland.

Season 2 has most of the regulars except Rex dies from a heart attach and John leaves the show, ending his romance with Gabrielle.  Doug Savant came on as a regular playing Lynette;s hubby Tom.  Shawn Pyfrom plays Bree’s gay son and her daughter Danielle is played by Joy Lauren.  Here comes a confusing part:  Alfre Woodard and Mehcad Brooks play Betty Applewhite and her son Matthew.  They move to Wisteria lane in the middle of the night to hid the fact that Betty’s other son Caleb, who was played first by Page Kennedy and then NaShawn Kearse, was locked in the basement.  Again, more later.  Susan’s ex-husband Karl played by Richard Burgi was also cast this season.  He eventually got engaged to Edie.  Rogert Bart played pharmacist George Williams who was obsessed with Bree and it ends up that he caused Rex’s death to be with Bree.  He committed suicide in the middle of the season.

 In Season Three, we met the psycho Orson Hodge who is played by Kyle Mac Lachlan.  He is a piece of work.  He ends up marrying Bree but this guy has a past darker than a sky at night with no moon.  Josh Henderson was introduced as Edie’s nephew Austin McCann who develops a relationship with Julie but ends up getting Danielle pregnant.

In the Fourth season, we meet Rachel Fox who plays Kayla Huntington who ends up being Tom’s daughter from a one night stand.  We also meet our first gay couple on Wisteria Lane, Kevin Rahm and Tuc Watkins who play Lee McDermott and Bob Hunter. 

In Season Five, Neal McDonough plays Edie’s new husband.  Alot of recurring characters appear.  Kathryn Joosten and Pat Crawford Brown play the older residents of Wisteria Lane Karen McCluskey and Ida Grenberg.  One of Susan’s earlier love interest Ian Hainsworth played by Dugray comes back as does Andrew’s boyfriend from the first 2 season Ryan Carnes as Justin.  John Slattery plays Victor Lang who is Gabby’s new hubby.  Bob Gunton plays Noah Taylor who is the deceased dad of Mike’s late fiance and the grandfather of Zach.  And then there is Gail O’Grady as Anne who is having an affair with one of Lynette’s underage boys. 

Stay tuned for more gossip!
