There's Always a Woman
Season 5 | Episode 6 | Aired 11/2/08
We knew Carlos was good at his job, but we're really impressed when, during a routine massage, he accidentally gives a wealthy client an orgasm! She tips him extravagantly and wants to pay him $100,000 to be her personal masseur on a trip to Europe. Gabrielle, naturally, hits the ceiling when she learns why Mrs. Hildebrand's such a big tipper. But her indignation doesn't last long when the woman offers to take the entire family to Europe.

  • Visions of Love Carlos can see light again, but his vision will take a few weeks to fully return. That gives Gabrielle some time to buy back his prized Lou Gehrig baseball! But his sight returns quicker than expected and she's forced to admit the sacrifices she's made to keep the family afloat. She gets the baseball back, but we're reminded of how sweet Carlos can be when he sells it to buy her a beautiful dress. Nice.
  • All Fired Up We know Dr. Heller is doomed when he plans to tell Mike about Dave's past. Dave leads Heller to a storage room where he chokes the doctor to death! We fear for Jackson, who's in the hallway, looking for the bathroom. Dave locks him inside! He then sets Heller's body on fire and then calmly joins his band on stage, pretending to be as surprised when Edie yells, "Fire!"  Dave stays inside, vowing to get everyone out. Mike goes back to find Jackson, who's already gotten out by smashing a window. Mike is then overcome by smoke and collapses. Dave then rescues Mike and is declared a hero!
