Paul hopes to put in a half way house on Wisteria Lane for criminals who have served there time to have somewhere nice to go when being released from jail.  The neighbors are not gonna stand for this.  They have vote and find out Paul Young only needs ONE more vote ( he bought 6 houses on the lane) and he can open his half way house.

Bree and Keith

At the beginning of Season 7 Bree and Orson Hodge officially (and finally) called it quits.  For the last 2 seasons There marriage has been a little rocky.  Orson would steal the neighbor's "Knick Knacks" to get back at the ones who were mean to him or aggrivated him in some way.  We than later discover he has been stealing to hurt Bree.  It's the one thing she can't control in life, and Orson loves it.  When Bree finds out Orson's reason for stealing she begins to have an affair with her lawyer/Susan's Ex Husband Carl.  During season 6 mid season finale, at a christmas block party Orson has discovered the affair and begins to fight with Carl, in the gingerbread house than a plane crashes killing Carl, leaving Orson paralyzed from the waist down.  It seems that things were getting better, with Bree taking care of Orson, and running her business (mrs van de kamp cook books) until a young man named Sam comes into there lives.  Bree hires him as her assistant and than later find out he is Rex's son (late husband from first marriage).  He makes many failed attempts to try to replace Andrew and later Black mails Bree into giving him her business in exchange he will remain silent about Andrew killing Mama Solis (season 1).  Bree covered up Andrew's mess and this upsets Orson who asks for a divorce.  In season 3 Orson ran over Mike Delfino in a hit and run, and Bree told him she would only be with him if he confessed to it and went to jail.  Orson is upset with Bree covering for Andrew when she made Orson pay for his mistakes. 

After Orson leaves Bree, she is sitting in her living room and notices a corner of the wallpaper is coming off the wall.  After several unsuccessful temps of making it stick, she rips off all wall paper and decides to hire a painter Keith (Brian Austin Greene).  Bree falls for keith but so does Renee.  They have a little neighbor rivalry very similar to Susan and Edie's fight over the new neighbor Mike Delfino.  It didn't last very long and Bree is now a cougar! This maybe my favorite story line of hers yet.  Bree and Keith are very happy together and Keith is very much in love with Bree. Bree thinks she's beginning menapause and goes to her Gyno for a check up.  Later that evening Keith takes Bree to meet his parents where the Dr from this morning happens to be Keiths Mom! she's upset that keith is dating an older lady and after large quantities of alcohol lets everyone know how she feels. 

Keith's parent's decide to separate and Keith's dad comes to stay with keith.  Bree feeling sorry for him has been inviting him out on her and keith's dates.  It's ok at first but than Keith's dad shows up the night keith plans on proposing to bree.  At that very same moment Bree sees an old friend from college (Libby From Lost!) and tries to pair up keiths dad w/ her for a little double date.  They have nothing in common and her friend aka debbie downer, is a complainer who ruins the date and proposal.  Later that night when Bree goes to keith's, his dad is there and confesses his love for bree!  Bree claims she loves keith and asks him to not try that again.  I love Bree and Keith together, they not traditonal, but maybe thats what Bree needs!   Stay tuned for tomorrow's episode .

The Scavos and Renee

This season with the scavos' is going sorta normal. Paige the newest and last baby bringing the grand total to 5. Renee the new neighbor stays with lynette and than buys Edie's old house on the lane.   Tom's mom moves in, and Lynette discovers something wrong with her. she cant seem to remember things but only spuratically, most of the time she was quite normal.  After taking her to a doctors they conclude that

she has Dimentia.  Lynette hire's Susan as her nanny, and up until last episode have things gotten very exciting.

Lynette and Tom are the couple who's marriage is rock solid and they are truely ment for each other.  They have dealt with many obstacles and are the only couple to always work through them.  They have also been tempted to cheat.  Lynette with Rick (former chef at Scavos' pizzeria who lynette had an infatuation with him but fired him when he made a move on her) and Tom with Pattie (woman in the gardening club who is known to sleep around, starts hanging out with Tom alone until Gaby puts a stop to it.)

Renee is the new neighbor in season 7.  A wife seperated from her professional baseball player husband, and Lynette's college roommate moves in on the lane.  Renee i believe is "Edie" reencarnated.  Marc Cherry (Creator of DH) and Nicholette Sheridan clearly didnt get along.  There names have been put in headlines on celebrity gossip magazines all last year.  I think Marc Cherry never intended for the character of Edie to die, just get the actor off his show.  Renee is Edie with Class.  She is a lady and can't stand children.  She see's Susan as someone below her (being Lynette's nanny and moving into an apartment) because of her money status.  Susan after walking in on Tom and Lynette having sex, walks in on Renee, who is bawling on the couch upset over her birthday, invites Renee out for the night.  Renee gets really drunk and tells Susan she is in love with Tom.  

  This season can go three ways for them.

1.  They stay strong and faithful to each other and there marriage continues on.  

2.  Tom ends up being seduced by Renee leading to a divorce and an end of a friendship and a Renee banishing from the lane.  

3.  Tom and Renee could have an almost, and lynette doesnt find out for a season or two. 

Cant seem to figure out how this will play out hopefully they can survive this obstacle!
