Dexter

The Trinity Killer (played with chilling dastardliness by John Lithgow) is still at large, which is really getting under Dexter's skin. So the forensics whiz feels compelled to step up his personal involvement in investigating the case. On the home front, previously clueless Rita becomes privy to one of Dexter's secrets, and she wonders exactly how much more there is to her enigmatic husband and his mysterious ways.

Desperate Housewives
9/8c ABC
So, did Danny attack Julie? Susan sure thinks so, and this could mean war with the Bolens, what with those promo pictures on the Web of Angie hefting a baseball bat. Moving from fighters to lovers, Bree and Karl are trysting again. What about Orson? Maybe we'll find out tonight. And John Rowland (Jesse Metcalfe) is back in Gaby's life for the first time in a long while. It's a chance encounter in a restaurant, but Carlos doesn't like it. And John will be back next week, too, so we shall see.
Read on for previews of Curb Your Enthusiasm, Californication, Mad Men, Family Guy and Leave It to Lamas.

Any Lost scoop? — Ari
MICKEY: You can add Katey Sagal's name to the list of Lost alums who have jetted off to Hawaii to shoot scenes for the final season. Call me a romantic, but I never believed that Locke's beloved Helen was actually dead; that whole cemetery scene reeked of fakery. Plus, we've all heard the rumors about Season 6 employing an alternate timeline (or, more intriguing, a "do-over" of Oceanic Flight 815), which means that even if Matthew Abaddon was telling the truth, Helen is still just as likely to be alive as, say, Charlie, Boone, Shannon, Eko or Juliet.
Sylar crawled out of the ground on Monday's Heroes. Does that mean no more Nathan? — Justin
