I fear were headed that way, friends.
Because the build-up for what hes got planned has been so insanely drawn out over this season ofDesperate Housewives.
Take last nights episode, for instance.

Although we know that obviously cant happen since Dr. H was burned to a crisp in that club fire.
Or that hed kill the person he loves (a.k.a.
Katherine) to make him feel the same pain.
Which brings me to bigger questions: Is this even a mystery anymore?
Is there anything to reveal?
Why should I keep watching?
Seriously, can we get a little edge?
Like, theres some great twist something so delicious that my head will explode.
I freakin hope so!
Maybe this twist has something to do with the fact thatNicolette Sheridan, a.k.a.
Edie, is leaving the show.
The idea has been floated that Dave kills her.
That doesnt seem too plausible.
But, really, on the Edie-leaving-Wisteria Lane front, Im all good with that.
Life is brief and mostly sucks.
You gotta grab all the good you could while youre on this side of the dirt.
), shes rather pointless for the most part.
And as for the comic relief, weve always got Gaby, who makes every scene shes in humorous.
Bottom line: It was not a good night for the working stiff!
That idea was most punctuated by the closing of Scavos Pizzeria.
It was heartbreaking to see Tom try so hard to keep the restaurant afloat.
First, he tried making his employees pretend to be customers to attract business.
To which Lynette hilariously quipped, So now we have pretend customers?
Gee, lets think of something to do with all the pretend money were going to make.
Another family business on Wisteria Lane Brees catering set-up was causing trouble for its owners, too.
Orson discovered that Andrew had just gotten a raise (thanks, Mom!)
and got obsessed with finding out how much he made.
The dentist-turned-caterer came to find out that Andrew made double what he did.
My first thought was that the disparity was crazy.
Seems fair to me.
In fact, he might even trump Susan for once!
Okay, Ill do it: Grow up, Orson!
But, seriously, the Gaby story line still so predictable.
Granted, she hasnt yet pulled back, but itll happen.
At least the predictable story line didnt affect Gabys always-great quips.
Oh, come on, Brad, she said while blackmailing Brad, unbeknownst to Carlos.
Saving a marriage cant put a price on that.
At least not a small one!
You gotta hand it to Gaby shes one smart lady!
And then theres Susan.
Poor, poor Susan.
Poor little M.J. spent time with Katherine and liked it.
In some way, shes got that sort of rag-tag, overly employed, trying-to-do-too-much mother thing going on.
I like it a lot.
Overall, an okay episode.
Not my favorite, but I didnt hate it.
I know Ive harped on this before, but where was the interaction between the housewives?
Besides Susan and Katherins cat fighting, the ladies lived in totally different spheres this week.
Thats never a good thing.
I love the episodes where theyre all at some big party or at least have a good poker session.
At least give us the poker sessions!
But what do you think, TV Watchers?
Do you agree with me that episodes not featuring interaction between the housewives are less satisfying?
Are you tiring of the protracted Dave Williams story line, too?
Were you surprised that Mike made plans to move in with Katherine?
And, seriously: What happened to Mrs. McCluskey and Roberta?
Did Dave knock them off and we just dont know it?
