Now, this is a cute little show.
For those of you who've missed the first couple of episodes, I'll catch you up. Samantha, played by Christina Applegate, woke up after an accident with amnesia. She cannot remember that she doesn't speak to her parents, who are by her side. Neither does she remember that her bff, formerly Sookie from Gilmore Girls, is someone she hasn't spoken to since the seventh grade. She doesn't remember her boyfriend, or her lover, or her job.
She goes home with the boyfriend. She finds out from the answering machine that they broke up and that she's a bitch. So back home to the parents. Her "real" bff, played by Jennifer Esposito, tries to rescue her from the 'rents and takes her out drinking. At this point Samantha remembers she's recovering and now thanks to bff has to start all over. She goes to the ex-boyfriend for help only to discover there is a party that night, she begs him to go, turns out it's a b-day party for the lover. Ooops.
She declares that her life is horrible, and she swears she'll be a better person. So her and "Sookie" hang out, and Samantha tries to learn to be nice. Samantha remembers her workplace, but doesn't know her job. Apparently she was some wicked real estate developer. Since the turning of the new leaf, she tries to do good, only to find out nobody likes good at the job. She's determined to quit, but finds out she really liked to shop.
Desperate Housewives
The new neighbors, Bob and Lee, have a Halloween soiree to help reunite Wisteria Lane after the whole fountain issue. While they are extending their neighborly invitation to Bree, they notice a person looking out the upstairs window. "Is that your daughter?" "No, my daughter is in boarding school in Switzerland."/upstairs peering out the window because I've hidden her away to cover up her pregnancy/steal her child to make amends for my previous bad parenting.
Gaby finds her new father-in-law waiting in her Wisteria Lane house, ready with a check for "lot's of zero's" dollars if she'll only stay married to the mayor until the gubernatorial election is over in thirteen months. When she tells Carlos that their plans to runaway together have to be put off because of their shaky financial situation, Carlos reveals that he'd embezzled $10,000,000 back when he had a job. Gaby is happy, no wait Gaby is pissed. She was entitled to half of everything he'd embezzled during their marriage. She can no longer trust him, and it's back to Victor who suddenly has oodles of time.
Susan and Mike talk to a genetic counselor, where Susan discovers that Mike lied about his father being dead. He's really in prison for murder. Susan decides that dad's reason for murder was not as legitimate as Mike's reason for murder and is disappointed that she is now carrying a child with broken genes.
Lynnette, gets back from her post chemo checkup and discovers that a possum has invaded her garden. She freaks out, and puts all of her energy into ridding her garden of Scruffy, the kids illegitimate possum pet. She even goes so far as to get gun advice from Bree, who sends her to the gun emporium by the Baptist church, "tell them I sent you and they'll give you a hefty discount." Later, Lynnette's mom gets her drunk and she falls asleep on the couch. What's this, a visit from her oncologist. Lynnette is cancer free. Yippee. Now she feels bad about killing that possum. It was only her misguided frustration with cancer.
Edie tells Victor that Gaby and Carlos are sneaking around, only after she told the IRS that Carlos had an offshore bank account, one that no longer exists.
So, 'round we come again to the Halloween party. Everyone is there, and in walks 8 month pregnant Danielle, cleverly dressed as her mother. Pulling the secret off until her water breaks. Then it's out the door, "can we make it to the hospital?' "there's no time" (excuse me, I was in labor for days with my first) well then I must go get the OB/GYN married to my arch nemesis. "you must never tell what you are about to find out" "Does this have anything to do with the pregnancy you've been faking" Danielle gives birth to a baby boy on the kitchen table, in front of her step-father and brother. (Does it get any more real than that?) The doctor holds up the baby just as the Scavo children are peeking in the kitchen window. Those sneaky Scavo children. Now that's five people who now know the dirty little secret the Hodge's have been hiding.
What follows is my rant.
Get Gaby and Carlos together and let them be happy. Be honest Bree. Grow up Susan. I guess we don't want normal.

Journeyman 11/5/07
Jack is watching Zach while Dan and Katie go to a Correspondents Dinner. Dan and Katie had a wonderful time, but forgot to leave dinner plans for the Vasser boys. Zach informs Uncle Jack that Dad has "monopoly money" in the closet so they can order pizza. Jack, like any good sitter, snoops and finds the $100 or so thousand dollars that Dan got from the missing plane hijacker. Jack takes a Benjamin to do some detective work on, and the boys enjoy an enjoyable dinner of chili dogs.
When Dan and Katie return home, Katie tells Dan she'd like to go back to work. (Didn't tell him she's already interviewing) Dan says we'll talk about it when I finish the recycling. But before they can, Dan, while taking out the recycling (Thanks NBC for going Green this week), gets sucked back to 1999.
He finds himself asleep in the backseat of a car. Surprised driver thinks he's getting carjacked. But wait, Dan is there to stop him from being carjacked by the punks really intending to carjack him. Oh no, surprised driver gets shot and carjackers find Dan's press pass.
Later at the hospital 2007 Dan calls 1999 Jack to find out why someone is trying to shoot surprised driver. He's the ONLY witness against some gang, court is tomorrow. Will Dan have to spend the night in 1999? Driver has to get to court. 2007 Dan goes to 1999 Dan's apartment, only to find it ransacked. He's not there to protect the driver/witness, he's there to protect his future.
Dan's dead fiance'/co-journeyer, has to help him get with his future wife. So 2007 Dan and dead Liv follow 1999 Dan around, oh yeah Dan has a gambling problem that Katie saves him from. Oh no, apartment ransacker stole $20,000 cash from 1999 Dan's apartment. Where or where will they get the money. Liv gets sucked into 2007 Dan and Katies closet, where she overhears Katie and Jack arguing about the money in the closet. Liv takes the money and vanishes back to 1999. Katie's wondering where the 100 large went.
A little time travel note before we go on. We can determine that Dan and Katie do get together because Liv couldn't have journeyed into their house had they not.
Now 2007 Dan has to beat up 1999 Dan, get him back to 1999 Dan's apartment, get back to the illicit poker game, follow the carjacker/apartment ransacker to the hospital, foil carjackers attempt to kill the driver/witness, get back to the poker game, launder $20,000 hijacking money, drink himself blind, wait for Katie, and find a clever way to "disappear" before she sees him with his 1999 self. Whoa, you thought you had a rough job.
We see 1999 Katie watching 1999 Dan sleep it off. We fade to 2007 Dan watching 2007 Katie sleep. AAAAHHHH poetic. But wait there's more. The FBI is at Jack's desk wondering where he got this flagged $100 bill. Jack holds firm for all of 30 seconds, he can't disclose his informant, oh yes he can. "I got it from my brother."

CSI Miami 11/5/07
A fashion show was invaded by gunmen shooting up the place. But wait, the gunmen were models and one died. Horatio was concerned and vowed to make it right.
The model who died had just visited her husband in prison. The prisoner, none other than the kidnapper of H's newly discovered son, who happens to be in the same prison, in the same cell block. The kidnapper of H's son, wanting to make ammends for kidnapping offered him a cell phone that later blew up H's son's prisoner/bodyguard. OH MY.
Things don't look good for H's son. Now instead of an easy burglary stint, he's up for murder. But wait, H finds kidnapper's son and uncovers some dirt. This dirt was enough to turn the "most dangerous man in Miami" into putty. Now the only witness against H's son can't recall anything that happened. Phew.
H walks out of the police station, pauses briefly, puts on his sunglasses and goes off to fight yet more crime.
