I'd love it if you could give a "hint" as to whom on Wisteria Lane Desperate Housewives' Dave Williams has a vendetta against? - Barbara

Granted, I never wished that a PHD member lose their life this season. I merely have been positing that, being in the line of work they are, it should be just a matter of time until....Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves. This week's case traversed all manner of moods, starting off with a "lighter" tone as Tao practically swooned over "Babs" the bomb-sniffing robot. That was followed by a small chuckle when a police tape-crossing Brenda popped up on Babs' camera. But then came the first uncovered pipe bomb and subsequent explosion. Things immediately got serious.As Brenda zeroed in on the "crazy kids" i...
