Let me start by saying that I love Gabriella Solis (Eva Longoria Parker). She absolutely cracks me up. She is so self-centered that everyone should hate her, but they can't. In this episode, she was oh so wrong, but oh so funny. Tonight Desperate Housewives was "Gaby and the Handicapped Spot." You know, like the Gidget or Tammy movies.

It all started when Gaby had to go shopping at a discount store. She was all dressed up in her nice black dress and heels and had to walk a long way in the parking lot. She cracked me up asking Lynette why they didn't have valet parking. There were a bunch of empty handicapped parking spots right in front of the store and Lynette gave her the idea that she could get a handicapped placard for her car because of Carlos.

So Gaby got the placard and went shopping. She argued with a couple of guys in wheelchairs, one being Eddie McGee, winner of the first Big Brother, because she took one of the few spots available and they had to park far away. She told the one guy to stop complaining because she had to walk on those high heels and he got to roll around in a chair all day. Ha! After that, though, she decided that poor Carlos had to ride around with her while she did her errands. It could have been a nice little day trip, but Gaby made him stay in the car and wait for her. Carlos got mad and they argued. They both played the pity card, and they both will try to be more understanding of the other.

Meanwhile, the other Wisteria Lane ladies had their own things going on. Bree and Catherine tested their new "friendship" by working together on the Founder's Day Ball. It looked like Catherine was up to her old tricks and trying to take over. Finally Bree had enough and engineered a case of food poisoning for Catherine. She felt bad about it, though, when Catherine toughed it out and presented Bree with the Founder's Day Award. Bree sort of apologized and they sort of made up. Catherine made Bree realize that they were alike and that they could be rivals or they could be best friends.

Rick, the guy that used to work at Scavo's and almost had a fling with Lynette is back. He's opening a restaurant on the corner. Tom, as expected, was not happy. He threw a brick through the window of Rick's place one night. Then, while Lynette was at the Founder's Day Ball, she got a call from Andrew that Rick's place burned down. When she turned around, she saw Tom just walking into the ball.

Then there's Orson and his secret. We found out that Mike was working in Orson's house when Orson's mom killed his mistress. Mike doesn't remember, but Orson sure does. That's why he ran him over with his car. When Orson thought that Mike was beginning to remember, he began to obsess over it, have nightmares and sleepwalk ... naked. Susan caught him once sitting in her kitchen and once outside. That was bad enough, but at the end of the show, Julie caught him sleepwalking again, clothed this time, but he confessed to having run over Mike.

Trouble is on its way to Wisteria Lane. Some faceless man was shown circling Dylan's face in the newspaper with red marker, and next week on Desperate Housewives, Tom and Rick fight and Mike asks Orson if he's the one that ran him over.
