Sorry for being probably the only bloke hooked on this - the only decent thing to come out of the US since The X Files.
Not wishing to spoil it for anyone that didn't see next week's episode on E4 last night but could someone please explain to me exactly why Mike is in the Avenue and what he's looking for? I thought he was hired by Mary Alice/Angela's dad to find out what happened to her but after last night's E4 episode I'm now a little lost. I could say more but it would really spoil it!
Oh, and I must say the thought of Bree being a bit of a dominatrix for Rex's sexual benefit is a bit ...

Isn't Dana a girl's name anyway? Is that a further twist yet to come??? How on earth do you know that the girl in the box was Zak's social worker, where did I miss that?
I play VBL spotting, particularly on Bree
Because I pay attention
In last weeks episode Mike was given all the details on the girl who he was hunting for by a copper after they had confirmed she was the body in the box.
Zak's dad was seen throwing the same box in the river earlier in the series. There was also a bit where he explained to Zak/Dana about the woman who was trying to take him away.
Keep up at the back

Ah... it all becomes clear. For a few minutes last night I was under the impression that Mike was actually investigating Angela's suicide. Mrs Wanty hates the programme so couldn't run it past her!
I think Mrs Wanty hates the programme because of your salacious thoughts about Bree
I am also a cloest DHW watcher 
About the only thing on tv at the moment.
Agree with Blair Out as to what's going on (not seen 'next week's episode' on E4 though). But I thought that The woman in the box / Mike's ex was some kind of private investigator looking into where Dana/Zak had gone.
I thought Dana was a girl's name too, so I go to thinking that Zak was some kind of bio-socio experiment and that Maria-Alice / Angela kidnapped him/her. Not sure how Paul fits in though. It would also explain why Zak is so odd. Though I guess having your mothing being a drugs whilst being pregnant may also have affected him/her.
Unfortunatly my gf does like it, but doesn't really keep up with what's going on.
I think she's got used to being spoon fed information from soaps like Eastenders and Corry, so if the program doesn't tell her blow for blow with constant re-caps what's happening she can't follow it ... bless her
VPL and VBL spotting does go on, but quitely in my own head.
Not sure abot the whole triples/twins thing either. I may have to get the series on DVD when it comes out to sort that one out.
One final thing that Lu (gf) was no help with last night...
The twins/triplets parents (Lynette(?) and ?):
A few episodes ago Lynette found her father-in-law was cheating on her mother-in-law.
She found out everybody knew, and was ok with it.
Lynette's husband said something like 'don't worry, I'm not my dad'.
She told him that was good and that 'I'm not your mother and if she ever found out you are cheating on me I will take the kids and you will never see them again'.
The following day he told his dad he'd done something stupid in the past he hoped Lynette wouldn't find out about it.
Last night we found out that he and Lynette got together because he cheated on his then misses with Lynette.
Is there something else here?

ninjadave said:Well now, Angela was a nurse wasn't she? Could Paul have been a Doctor? Martha Hooper's sister certainly knew Angela well but not Paul - perhaps Paul is Zak's real father. Perhaps Zak was born with unassigned gender and Paul was the Doc who fixed it, after Angela had 'stolen' Dana. This will be a bobby dazzler when it comes out.

ninjadave said:After last night, he does seem the type to cheat and Lynette well knows this. I wonder if it's that simple, though - maybe he's Zak's Dad!
