9/8c ABC

Don't expect last week's encounter with that tut-tutting motel maid to send Bree back to Orson, either, no matter how much of an affection-begging puppy he has been lately. But do expect to learn a little something more about the mysterious Bolens. And if you thought that Gaby was a bad mom last week, you ain't seen nothin' yet.
