Okay, ready to comment.The 30-Day Pact. I too would laugh like your DW. I remember when I saw that silly couple that wrote the silly book, and I thought it was just one of the absolute sillest things I'd ever heard of - especially because I have been in Lynette's tired position so many times, and I resent "having to." So the Tom/Lynette conversation would not go.
I'm not sure about the Jackson Green Card thing. I got the impression that was really the case, but there was something different about him - I didn't think he looked the same. I just don't like him and Susan.
I think Edie is still in the credits out of some sort of respect for her - at least until the season ends.
Gaby: I actually loved her the entire time. Chop Chop. She just cracked me up the whole time. I know that's wrong, but it was just really funny - especially when she told the girl in the bathroom that she could only handle one crisis at a time.
Mike/Susan: She looked really old to me this episode. I think she is completely in the wrong, and that she shouldn't rush into anything.
Also, about Gaby's kids. Let me understand this. Juanita is 6, which makes her older than MJ, but she wasn't around when MJ was even born. The writers completely fouled this up.
I think I read that Lily Tomlin will be back. I get the feeling Jackson may be the one who dies from the Dave factor - maybe after he realizes that he really loves Susan.
Love Karl. I mention that below. Or above. Love, love, love him.
