Desperate Housewives

Adopt-A-Stripper

The Glamorous Life - Bree wants to love Orson again, Gaby has a new method of birth control for Ana, Lynette and Tom teach their therapist a lesson, Susan asks a stripper to move in, and Angie really, really wants you to recycle.

Shrinkage

How About a Friendly Shrink? - Everyone's having relationship drama this week, but at least most of them are in therapy (note to Bree and Orson: Seek help.)

Stripped Down

You Gotta Get a Gimmick - Bree holds a paralyzed Orson hostage, Gaby gets back to her Mexican roots, Tom fills in for Lynette at work and Susan strips for Mike (and everyone else at Double D's).

What If We Had An Episode And Nothing Happened?

If... - It's a whole episode of imaginary, what-might-have-been sequences this week, but at least we find out who died in that plane crash.

Out With A Bang

Boom Crunch - ...Or a crash. As in a plane crash. It's a boring episode and very little happens until the end, when a plane crashes into the Wisteria Christmas party, seemingly killing at least two residents of the Lane.

Down and Dirty

Would I Think of Suicide? - Everyone shows their dark side this week: Carlos fires Lynette, Tom and Lynette sue Gaby and Carlos, Bree puts Orson and another guy at risk for a return to prison, Katherine tells MJ his mom's a bad person and then seems to frame Mike, Mike threatens Katherine, Julie tells Danny she doesn't like him, and he tries to kill himself.

Double Lives

The Coffee Cup - Nick and Angie are still maintaining fake identities, Bree's still sneaking around with Karl, and Lynette's still hiding her pregnancy (by dressing like a man) from Carlos and Gaby.

Arrested Development

Careful the Things You Say - Someone new (Lynette) finally finds out about Julie and Nick, and reports it to the police, but Angie covers for him (even while working hard at her new job for Bree). And, in the high point of the season so far, Susan ends up behind bars.

Signs, Signs...

Don't Walk on the Grass - Everywhere there's signs. Signs that Bree's falling in love with Karl. Signs that Katherine's still crazy. And signs that Angie has even more to hide. Though there's no sign yet what it is.

Deathmatch: Monkey vs. Clown

Everybody Ought to Have a Maid - A monkey and a clown have it out this episode, and one of them ends up injured. I'm talking about Susan and Katherine, of course, although an actual monkey takes down a clown at Juanita's birthday party.
