What Mystery?

Everybody Says Don't - It's sort of anti-climactic for us, since we've known all season what Creepy Dave was planning, but at least Mrs. McCluskey, her sister, Mike, Jackson, and the detectives finally have all the tools they need to solve MJ's murder preemptively. But will they do it in time?

Look Into Their Eyes and You See What They Know - All of the Housewives take a road trip with Edie's ashes to visit Edie's son, and on the way they use her death as an excuse to reminisce about their fondest memories of her. Hey, kinda like that Beau Bridges episode they just did!

Lying Liars Who Lie

The Story of Lucy and Jessie - Everyone's telling lies this week -- even more than usual: Mike and Katherine say she has to do her taxes instead of camping. Susan invites her boss over under false pretenses. Orson and Bree cover up his stealing. Lynette negotiates a higher salary by inflating another offer. She also lies about her age, more than once. Gaby gets Lynette a job, but doesn't tell her the real reason. Carlos tells Gaby his new hire is his old roommate, rather than his ex-girlfriend. Edie investigates Creepy Dave, and doesn't tell him, while he continues to lie to everyone about everything.

The Haves and Have-Nots

In A World Where The Kings Are Employers - Orson wants to make as much money as Andrew. Gaby wants Carlos to get a bonus -- but it might not be worth the cost. Tom wants his family to help him keep Scavo's in business. Susan wants to have the time and money to stay home with MJ, so he doesn't have to spend time with Katherine, who gives him good food, reads to him, and plays games. Creepy Dave mostly just wants to go camping. Oh, and possibly kill Katherine.
