Desperate Housewives: Desperate for Storylines?

So, last night's double-sized Season finale of Desperate Housewives finally resolved the season-long Creepy Dave storyline, while introducing a few new ones. For starters, Bree and Karl are hooking up, because apparently Bree's life isn't complicated enough. Also, Lynette and Tom are pregnant with another set of twins, because they apparently don't use birth control while on a monthlong relationship-strengthening sex marathon. The most preposterous development in all of this, however, is that Gaby and Carlos have taken in Carlos's orphaned niece, Ana, who's been staying with Carlos's aunt, because his aunt has a heart condition and can't take care of her anymore. Except the girl turns out to be a manipulative flirt, who gets the Scavo twins to do her chores, her various boyfriends to buy her nice dresses and Carlos to take her side when she cries after Gaby yells at her. Does any of this sound familiar?

It should. Last season -- granted, that was five years ago in show years -- Tom and Lynette took in Kayla, Tom's illegitimate 12-year-old daughter from a one-night stand, and she turned out to be kind of a monster. She convinced the twins to burn down a restaurant, gave one of them the idea to jump off of the roof and convinced Child Protective Services that Lynette regularly beat her and burned her with a curling iron, getting her thrown in jail. Granted, Kayla was a lot younger than Ana is (although she'd probably be the same age now, in show years), so I can't imagine this is going to go down the exact same road, but it certainly isn't going to end well. Doesn't Gaby remember Lynette's troubles? One day in the house, and Ana has already accused Gaby of being jealous of her. It can only get worse from there.

Also, how gullible are the Scavo twins? They get talked into doing stuff by women all the time. And I hadn't even noticed that this season was the second time Lynette lied to the police to get them off of an arson charge. Yeah, the first time she didn't know it was the twins, and she only lied to get Tom off the hook for it, but it's not like she told anybody the truth once she found out. And this season she lied about Preston being Porter when suspected arsonist Porter had to appear in court. I'm surprised that the police didn't bring up the Scavos' history of getting accused of arson.
