There's Always a Woman
Season 5 | Episode 6 | Aired 11/2/08
Katherine admits she's lonely, so Bree fixes her up with Orson's college roommate, Peter. But we share an "oh no" with Bree when Orson confesses that he knows Peter from prison, not college! Bree calls Katherine to warn her but it's too late: She's already slept with Peter and thanks Bree for a "magical" evening. Eep!  The next morning, Bree breaks the bad news to Katherine by handing her a cocktail. That night, Katherine runs into Mike, who's just come back from a lousy first date. We can see where these two lonelyhearts are headed when she invites him in for a drink.

Karen doesn't tell Edie about Dave's admission that he orchestrated her meltdown, but blames her "new pills" for the whole thing. She then calls her sister, Roberta, saying she needs her help. We wonder what Roberta's found out when she calls back with the news, "Looks like your Mr. Williams is keeping a little secret."

  • 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!
