Katherine's still totally nuts, telling everyone that Mike is the one who stabbed her. Susan tries to talk to her, but she's crazy and a liar, so Susan wants her committed. Bob tells her only family can do that, so she calls Dylan. Apparently, Dylan's been lied to more than anyone, believing her mom's married to Mike and Susan's been causing trouble and now has stabbed Katherine. It all ends pretty emotionally, as Katherine has to be restrained by hospital employees and then tells Dylan, "I told you not to come." I think this means Mike will get out of jail, and Katherine will hopefully come back slightly more sane.
Speaking of hospital employees, Mona tells the Bolens that she's figured out they must be in the witness program (since they pay with cash and Danny can't remember his name). They play along and say she can't say anything. When Danny gets released a day early, she drives him home, and after convincing him she knows about his situation, he tells her everything (which has something to do with terrorism and his mom killing someone). She blackmails the Bolens for $67,000, so she can have a year off work. They only have $10,000 and Angie's wedding ring, which Angie gives her at the end. When Angie tells her the whole story (and shows her the scar on her back), Mona says that sounds so reasonable she should go to the cops, but Angie says someone's dead, so she can't. Mona say she'll go to the cops if they don't get her the rest. But then a plane crashes onto Wisteria Lane and apparently kills Mona. Lucky for the Bolens.
Not so lucky for Orson or Karl, at least one of whom is apparently dead since the plane crashed into a Santa house in which they were fighting over Bree (after Orson relented to let her leave, and he caught her on the phone with her lover, she didn't tell him who it was, but Karl spilled all at the Christmas party). Bree was inside the Santa house, too, but it looked like a man's bloody hand hanging out of the door. Plus, they'd never kill off Bree. Oh, and Gaby and Lynette are still fighting, though Lynette keeps trying to make up. In the end, the plane nearly hits and kills Celia, but Lynette swoops in and saves her just in time. If that doesn't warrant Gaby's forgiveness (even though Carlos could lose his job over the lawsuit), nothing will. But we won't know anything more until 2010. I was really hoping we'd see who got killed in the plane crash, but I guess we should know better than that with this show.
Discuss this episode in our forums, then see why vloggers Val & Beth think DH is too over-the-top.
I want to start out by saying I'm sorry to those who think this episode deserves a higher grade than a C. I like this show, and I try to grade it based on what it is rather than against something like, say, Mad Men. But, let's face it, remove the plane crash from the end and this episode's about as boring as they come. Throw in the cliffhanger -- and the boring "guest cast," whom we don't know or care about it -- and the grade is warranted, if not generous. Anyway, previously, Bree set up blackmail against Orson to get out of her marriage; Lynette and Gaby got into a big, ol' fight; we found out that Angie Bolen killed a man, and then her son Danny tried to kill himself and told nurse Mona his name's Tyler, not Danny; and Mike told Karen he never loved her, so she called 911 and then stabbed herself (off-camera, thankfully, since the knife was awfully bloody).
Mary Alice's Voice-Over starts us off by introducing us to a couple we don't know or care about. Basically, it's a middle-aged woman who does nothing but complain and her meek wuss of a husband who puts up with it, but secretly hates her. They work together at his banner-flying business, and Jeff prays that God will end his suffering. Luckily, God's feeling generous. We see the two of them flying together and bickering about Christmas. He offers her a divorce for Christmas and shows her a divorce attorney's card. He's thankful, but she says she's taking half of everything, including the business. She wants to ruin him. But she's too late, since he has a heart attack while flying the plane. She thinks he's a big faker, but quickly realizes she has to land the plane. She screams as Mary Alice tells us that's how the unhappy marriage of Daphne and Jeff Bicks ended: "in a plane, losing altitude, right above a cul de sac..." Tom looks concerned and asks Parker if that plane's flying really low. MAVO: "...by the name of Wisteria Lane." Parker thinks it's going to crash. Opening title.
"Three Days Earlier." MAVO says the Wisteria residents are hoping for the best Christmas ever as they prepare for the annual festival, so they hung a banner and decorated, including setting up Santa's workshop. Lynette makes a joke comparing tangled Christmas lights to Santa's colon. Lee cracks up, but Gaby snits that it's almost as funny as when Orson said it last year. Susan and Lee look at each other, wondering what's up. She thinks Christmas music might help and wonders if Parker has the sound system fixed. He practically electrocutes himself as Mrs. McCluskey wonders if someone who can't even get a newspaper onto her porch should be working with electricity. Oh, Mrs. McC, the two are unrelated: We all know electricity is a science and a perfect porch newspaper delivery is an art. Lynette insults Gaby's clumpy tinsel-throwing, which is just a dumb move. Lee wonders what's up with the two of them, but Gaby doesn't want to talk about it. Bree doesn't care as long as they make up before the Christmas festival, since they have to sing in the Jingle Belles choir. Lee offers himself up as a fill-in, but Bree says men can't participate. Mrs. McC adds they're the Jingle Belles, not the Jingle Balls. Lee asks if she shouldn't be out stealing the last can of Who Hash. She threatens to actually go Grinch on him.
Then Gaby gets us back on topic of the people who actually matter on this show, and starts in about how maybe she can't sing with Lynette after she... but Lynette barges into the scene and asks if she's about to trash her. Gaby says she has way too much class to do that, but then tells everyone Lynette's suing Carlos. Mrs. McC: "You're suing him?" Lynette: "Because he fired me." Susan: "He fired her?" Gaby: "Because she lied about being pregnant." Bree: "You're pregnant?" Susan: "With twins." Mrs. McC: "You knew?" Lynette: "I told her to keep it quiet." Bree: "Congratulations." Gaby: "Sure, take her side." Lynette: "She's not." And... scene. Okay, not scene, but it should be. That was great. But Susan has to give an impassioned speech to ask them to stop fighting. After all the bad stuff that's happened (Julie's attack, Danny's suicide attempt), they need Christmas cheer, and this is when they should celebrate peace on Earth and goodwill towards men.
She's interrupted by ambulances rushing to Katherine's, which bugs me because there was no big Christmas decorating party when Katherine called the cops at the end of the last episode. I think I would have noticed the giant candy canes, lit trees, and Santa's workshop. Susan turns from her peace and goodwill talk and says, with no emotion, "Oh, crap! Who's dead now?" Everyone's gathering outside of Katherine's, including Mike, who asks Orson what's going on. Orson says it's Katherine, and Mike thinks it's crazy since he was there five minutes ago. He says she was upset and he hopes she didn't do something to herself. Mrs. McC says she heard the cops say someone stabbed Katherine in the gut. They wonder who would do that, and then Katherine picks up her hand and points it right at him. Mike: "You've got to be kidding me."
Hospital. Mona chirps to "Tyler" about how she can have them bring him some soup, since the stomach-pumping made him hungry. He asks why she'd call him that, and she says he told her that was his name last night. He says he must have been dreaming, because his name's Danny. Then he asks to see his mom. She says he can't while he's under observation. Why is that, exactly? When Mona arrives at the nurse's station, she sees Angie and Nick arguing with a lady who wants their insurance information. They don't want to give it, since they've paid cash (or with a check, he says) and will continue to do so. The hospital lady tells them insurance information is still required because you never know when a huge cost might come up. Mona eavesdrops on all of this, with a knowing look. Then she interrupts and asks to speak with the Bolens. In a waiting area, she tells them she knows what's up. She says they don't talk about their past, don't have insurance, and their son can't remember his name, so they're obviously in the witness protection program. Nick and Angie look at each other, all, "What the hell?" They play along. She says she figured it out because they were Italian -- no offense. She wonders what went down, but they say they can't talk about it, and neither can she. To anybody. Angie: "Or we'll have to have you whacked." She and Nick wait just long enough before laughing that Mona has to wonder if it's not actually a joke.
Hodges'. Orson's drinking tea and having breakfast when Bree comes in with an envelope. After Orson compliments her for always seeing the good in people, she asks for forgiveness for starting his day on a sour note, but she is filing for divorce, and if he tries to stop her, she's sending these photos to the cops. She pulls the pictures of him and Lamar from the envelope. Orson sadly says he's sorry she went to all this trouble, since he never would have actually sent her to jail for fraud, and all she had to do was call his bluff and she'd have been free without the blackmailing. He says the fact that she actually believed he would hurt her that badly should have told him it was over. He says he'll pack after breakfast, and Bree looks remorseful. She says she's sorry it had to end this way, and he says, "Me, too," then tells her he'll miss her scones. Awww. That's pretty sad, because Bree probably does make the best scones.
Susan and Bob arrive at the hospital. She tells him to ignore any screams he hears while she's in Katherine's room, but he says she has to behave if there's any hope of Katherine letting Mike out of jail. Susan says she knows, but then threatens to hit Katherine over the head with a flower vase Bob suggests he give to her. He hands her a teddy bear instead (all stolen gifts from someone else, I gather). When Susan enters, Katherine's just getting off the phone with Dylan (telling her there's no reason to fly out here). Susan gives her the teddy bear, and they pretend for two seconds not to hate each other, until Katherine goes crazy-pants again, telling Susan she's sorry for her that the man she just married turned out to be a maniac. Susan wants Katherine to stop lying, since this doesn't make any sense, but Katherine says she has a knife with Mike's fingerprints and that Mike stabbed her when she told him she's in love with someone else. Susan gets mad and yells, but Katherine's totally calm, with a blank stare as she says she's so angry but flattered that Mike would go this far to keep her from being with someone else.
Back in the hall, Susan says it didn't go well, and she can't tell if Katherine's crazy or devious. Bob thinks she's a little of both, so Susan asks how to get the crazy part committed. Bob says only a family member can do that, so Susan has the nurse dial up Dylan. She fakes an accent and says she's the doctor and they need her to come quickly, due to her mother's condition. When she hangs up, Bob says she's a little devious herself. Susan grins proudly.
Penny and Lynette are clipping coupons together. Penny thinks it's fun, and Lynette snarks about how fun it will be to do her own roots and get rid of cable, too. Oh, Jesus, it's not exactly a financial tragedy to not have cable. Oh, wait, what am I saying? Of course it is. But not being able to have your hair professionally colored? Not a tragedy. And clipping coupons actually is sort of fun, even for non-poor people, I'd wager. Penny asks if they're poor, and Lynette kisses her and says, "Only financially." Tom comes in and beckons Lynette into the other room, where he tells her that since he's attended classes for six weeks, they won't refund any of his tuition. He says things will be okay, since he's looking for a job and they have four months' savings. She's not exactly excited to run out right before the babies are born. She tells Tom how sorry she is for what she's doing to this family -- that he has to drop out of school, Penny's clipping coupons (again... not a tragedy). She says she's really screwed up, and she doesn't want to live off money made from suing their best friends. At least Gaby came to apologize. Tom suggests maybe it's her turn.
Carlos swears, and Gaby tells him that whatever it is, she can explain. Hee. He says he just spoke to the chairman of his board, who told him that even though the lawyer said he did everything by the book, it doesn't matter, because a big corporation going after a pregnant woman looks bad. If the suit goes to trial, he's done; and he might be anyway. He says he put everything into this company and then leaves. Gaby tries to go after him, but the doorbell rings. When she answers, it's Lynette, who says, "I know I'm probably the last person you want to talk to." Gaby slams the door after telling her she's right about that.
In her office, Bree tells Karl that Orson signed the papers and it's over. She goes on that she's never been happier and wants to see him. She asks him to meet her at the hotel and calls him "My darling," all while Orson's in the doorway listening. Orson says she sure doesn't waste any time moving on. She apologizes for not telling him this morning, but figured she'd hurt him enough for one day. Orson: "Yes, it's must better to parcel out the pain." He asks if it's someone he knows, and she looks down as he says he actually doesn't want to know that. He asks if she's told her friends and she lies, "Of course not," since Susan does know. He asks if she'll wait until he's gone, since he's saying goodbye at the Christmas party the day and doesn't want pity. Bree says she won't go public with the relationship until after the divorce and will say they started seeing each other after the separation. He thinks that's tasteful, but I think that since Susan knows, that's not going to work. I can't stand all of her lies, especially since she's the most judgmental character on this show (although Gaby's ranking right up there lately). He says that's such a tasteful solution, and she should write an etiquette book for adulterers. She promises her affair won't be an embarrassment.
Cut to Karl telling the doomed banner-flying couple that he wants a banner that says, "Will you marry me, Bree? Love Karl." The cranky wife thinks it's romantic, and complains (of course!) about her husband being cheap. She takes off and bitches about something, as Karl gives the simpering husband his card. Bet you saw that one coming, if you've ever seen this show. The words "divorce attorney" on Desperate Housewives almost always conjure Karl.
When Dylan gets out of a cab at Katherine's, Susan's waiting to pounce on her. Dylan doesn't want to talk to Susan, and even tells her to get over Mike, who's married to Katherine. Susan's like, "The hell?" Dylan tells Susan she can't believe she'd make a scene at Mike and Katherine's wedding, then hound them night and day, and now she stabs Katherine? Susan asks if that's what she told her, and says they need to talk. Inside, Susan shows a shocked Dylan her and Mike's wedding pictures. Dylan's puzzled, since her mom's been telling her all about her life with Mike. Susan says Katherine needs help, and so does Mike. Dylan asks what she wants her to do.
Mona tells Danny that his doctor's going to let her give her parents an early Christmas present, and let him go home early. She'll give him a ride home. [That seems... against hospital policy? Especially not having asked the parents. - Zach] In the car, she tells him she can't imagine how tough it is for them to live this way, always running and looking over their shoulders. Danny looks worried, and Mona says to relax, since his parents told her. She says she actually figured it out, and his mom just filled in the details. He wonders why she'd do that, and she says Angie seemed relieved to be able to talk about it. She tells him that he can trust her, too. Then he says that if Mona says anything, his mom will go to jail. She says it doesn't work that way, and Danny asks if she's kidding, what with how hardcore the Feds are on terrorist stuff since 9/11, even the old cases. He says, "If they find her, she's dead." Mona asks what he means. But, of course, we aren't privy to the rest of the conversation. Instead, we see Danny arrive home and tell Angie he screwed up and told Mona everything.
Angie finds Mona still sitting in her car, staring straight ahead. Angie thanks her and says she's sorry he dragged her into their family drama. She lies that Danny's so angry at her and Nick right now that he wants to hurt them, which explains the wild story he just told her. Mona doesn't say anything, then suddenly says she hates her job, dealing with disturbed people. She says she wants a new job, but knows she needs a year's worth of living expenses. She didn't know how she'd do it, but she tells Angie she wants $67,000 to cover her costs for a year, and then they'll all be free.
Dylan shows up at the hospital, and Katherine sweetly says she asked her not to come. Dylan says she had to, knowing her mom's hurt. Katherine apologizes Mike wasn't at the house to welcome her, but he's away on business. Dylan says no, he's in jail, since Katherine told the police he stabbed her. Katherine swears she didn't say that, and that Susan attacked her. Dylan asks why the police arrested Mike, and Katherine says maybe he confessed to protect her. Dylan says Susan's Mike's wife, and Katherine gets teary as she says that's ridiculous and did Susan tell her that? Dylan says Mike did, and that it's not right for him to be in jail if he didn't do anything. She asks her mom if she stabbed herself, and Katherine stares ahead and then cries that she asked her not to come. She pulls away from Dylan, and says Susan trapped Mike and filled his head with lies. She actually says, "He knows why I did it. He wants this." Susan comes in and tells Katherine she wants to help her. Katherine looks worried and says she has to get to Mike, who's expecting her. She gets up and runs into the hall. It takes two male hospital workers and a woman to subdue her, as Dylan and Susan watch in shock. Katherine, on the floor, looks at Dylan and once again says she asked her not to come. Susan comforts Dylan.
Our fated flying couple are bickering as they decide she'll go with him on this particular flight. This is the only moment where she garners the slightest bit of sympathy, as she tells him she wants to go, their therapist said it would help, would it kill him to spend time with the woman he loves. So it seems like she's at least trying. But these two characters aren't supposed to be deep, so I'll just go back to thinking they're both a waste of time.
The Christmas party's under way. All the women are in Santa hats, which makes a mean exchange in which Gaby tells Lynette to go to hell and stop talking to her (as Lynette once again tries to apologize). The Jingle Belles line up, and Bree introduces them. She turns to the women and tells them to sparkle. Why would they? Are they vampires? Bob, in the audience, tells Lee he can't believe they wouldn't let him in their group. Lee says it's their group and they can do whatever they want... "whores." As the singing begins, Gaby and Lynette bicker over Lynette's hat being in the way, and it goes downhill from there. Lynette was going to apologize. Gaby says it's too late, since Carlos might lose his job. (Lynette: "Gee, I wonder how that feels.") Lynette says Tom has to quit school. Gaby makes fun of him for being so old and in school, anyway. Lynette won't move, so Gaby takes her hat. Tom and Carlos watch, disgusted. Bree tries to stop them as they fight, one of them calling the other a bitch. Bob and Mrs. McC's boyfriend, Ray, joke about that word not being in "Silent Night." Gaby and Lynette's fighting ends up knocking Bree over. Orson and Carlos watch, and Orson doesn't look all that upset. They all seem sort of over it, at this point. Like, yep, those would be our wives. Bree stands and says they're taking a break, mid-song, and will be right back.
Bree calls the fighters backstage and tells them everyone realizes they're having a problem now, so a) they're fired and b) work it out. She storms off, and Lynette tries again to apologize and says how hard losing her job has been for her. Gaby "Boo-hoo"s her, and Lynette can't believe she doesn't care about anyone but herself. Gaby says she does care about her friends, but Lynette's not one of them anymore. She storms off and throws her hat down. It lands at Lee's feet, and he picks it up and giddily says, "I'm in!"
Bolens'. Instead of joining in the Christmas fun, they're arguing about Mona. Nick thinks they can't let a stupid housewife shake them down, but Angie says they have to make this go away. They only have $10,000 in their emergency fund (which you'd think they'd have spent on a hospital visit), but that's not close to $67,000. Angie takes off her wedding ring and says that will get them closer. They both look sad but resigned.
Back at the Christmas party, Karl shows up and tries to kiss Bree. She tells him they can't be seen together, because she told Orson about the affair, but not that it was Karl. She asks him to leave, since she promised Orson there would be no scenes today. Orson approaches them, and Karl tries to small talk, but Orson says to save it; he's not an idiot. He says Karl obviously heard they were divorcing and, being a vulture, came to be her lawyer. Karl admits it, but Orson says soliciting business at a Christmas party is tacky, even for him. Orson tells Bree if she wants Karl representing her that's fine, but he thought she had higher standards. Bree tells Karl to go before he figures it out. Karl's like, "Uh, yeah, about that." He tells her that her Christmas present is being delivered by air. He has to make one quick call. Back in the air, Daphne's trying to call someone on a radio, because she doesn't know how to fly. Not a great co-pilot, then, is she?
After commercials, she's talking to someone on the radio. The voice is talking her through it. First, he has her release the banner, and then tells her to look for a place to land: a field or large parking lot. She says she only sees neighborhoods, but the guy tells her a street landing is too dangerous. She screams that's all there is, and he tells her to calm down and keep the plane steady. On the ground, Karl's reached Jeff's answering machine back at work, which isn't doing him much good, since Jeff's in the air and dead. Karl asks him not to fly over Wisteria Park with that banner, and Bree hears and wonders what's up. He tells her, explaining he thought it was romantic. She wonders if he knows what discreet means: "No sky writing!" She says she has to warn Orson, but Karl says he'll tell Orson.
Karl approaches Orson and asks to talk to him. Orson wonders if it can't wait, and Karl says it really can't. They go inside Santa's workshop. [Which is incredibly spacious and well-decorated for a street festival.- Z] Orson says if it's about the settlement, he told Bree there's very little he wants. Karl says it's about what he wants: Bree. Orson says Karl's too late, since she already has a boyfriend, so Karl lets him catch up. Orson, "So, wait, you are having sex with my wife?" Karl goes on that they don't want to make this hard on Orson, but he wants to warn him. Orson calmly punches Karl in the face. Karl gives him that one, but keeps talking. Orson punches him again. It's so awesome. But then Karl decides to fight back. He tells Orson he's proposing to Bree with an airplane banner, which will be the highlight of his day. He pushes him down. Then Orson stands up behind Karl, politely says, "One moment please," and hits Karl upside the head with a giant candy cane. I love Orson.
Lee's pouring eggnog. Celia runs up and cutely says hi to Lynette, who offers to take her to see Santa. Gaby swoops in and grabs her and says she'll take her daughter to see Santa, thankyouverymuch. Lee walks by and breathes heavily, like, "Women. This is what you get for trying to keep me out of the Jingle Belles." Down the street, Angie gives Mona an envelope. Mona's shocked she's doing this right here, like this. Mona thinks the envelope seems small, and Angie admits it's just $10,000 and her ring. Mona wails that she already quit her job. [Because she's an idiot and a blackmailer? - Z] Angie says it's all they have right now, and it's the best they can do. Mona stalks off, but Angie says she has a job at Bree's and will pay the rest off as she makes it. Mona says sure, until Angie disappears into thin air. "Just because I have lawn gnomes doesn't mean I'm stupid." [No, quitting your job before your illegal blackmail scheme pays off is stupid. - Z] Angie says she doesn't know the whole story, but Mona says she knows Angie killed someone and walked away scot-free. Angie shows her the ginormous burn mark/scar on her back and asks if that looks like scot-free. Mona looks shocked, and Angie says she doesn't think Danny told her the whole story, and maybe she should hear it.
Back down the street at the party, Lee's telling Bree he ran four miles today and is now drinking eggnog, which is basically mayonnaise with rum in it. I love Lee and all, but he's sure in this episode a lot without doing much of anything that matters, don't you think? I hope that doesn't mean it's his farewell episode or anything. Bree's distracted by the shaking and grunting going on at Santa's workshop. She excuses herself, and then Lee notices the plane sputtering toward them. In Santa's workshop, Bree can't believe the fighting. She screams for them to stop it, but they completely ignore her. Angie's finishing her story to Mona when we rejoin them, saying they've been looking over their shoulders ever since. Mona thinks the story sounds so reasonable that Angie should be able to go to the cops (so I'm thinking we're going to think she's not that bad when we find out). But Angie says she can't do that, since a person is dead. Mona says Angie has until tomorrow to come up with the money or she goes to the police. She adds a snotty -- not to mention racist, given her earlier comments about Italians -- "Capisce?" She stalks off.
This is when we return to Tom and Parker, as Tom asks him if it's just him or is that plane flying really low. Angie tries to chase Mona down the street, and tells her she's screwing with people's lives and this could blow up in her face. Mona repeats she wants $67,000 by tomorrow or she calls the police. Angie looks worried, then notices the plane coming. As Daphne screams, "House, house, how-ooouse!" on her descent, Angie looks confused and takes off running toward her house. She doesn't warn Mona, but I don't think that's totally malicious so much as just looking out for herself and worrying about her family and herself. Mona says, "Hey, we're not done here." Then screams after her that she can run but she can't hide (but she just told her she'd disappear into thin air, so I think we all know she is actually quite good at hiding; not that she'll need to over this). She turns around as the plane's approaching and we get a close up of her feet as the plane wing seems to take her out. Which you had to see coming from the moment she knew everything, since there was a plane crash on its way.
Everyone at the party sees the plane hurtling toward them. Mrs. McC and Roy are at a table. They hop up and seem to run off with the crowd, which we see includes Bob but no Lee in site. Celia's standing right in the plane's path, frozen like a deer in the headlights. Gaby, stuck in the crowd too far away to get to her, screams, "Celia!" And just as the plane's hurtling toward her, and the show goes to a sort of echoing sound and slow-motion, Lynette swoops in and picks her up and (I think) runs to safety, although we don't see much once she grabs her, as it pans immediately to a different angle, leaving us hanging, I guess (although not really; we know Lynette will make it). I would be lying if I said that didn't give me chills. I love Lynette anyway, but to risk her pregnant self to save bitchy Gaby's little girl just reminds me why. We see lots of people run, but no one we know. Then the plane cuts right through Santa's workshop, knocking it down and in half. The camera pans the scene, and there's wreckage and Daphne lying still (dead? Do we care?) inside the plane.
MAVO picks back up: "The best Christmas ever. That's what everyone had wanted." Outside the plane, we see people coming back to look. Lee's first among them, which is good. And Santa's right behind him, THANK GOD. We wouldn't want to lose Santa. Tom runs up, so we know he's safe, too, but he looks worried, searching for his loved ones. "But something went wrong. Horribly wrong. For those who survived, it would be a day they would try to forget. For those who didn't, this Christmas would simply be their last." We don't see anyone else we know, and the camera pans around the side of the toppled Santa's workshop, where a bloody hand's hanging out the window. It looks like, and has to be, a man's hand. But is it Orson or Karl? Or are they going to try to pull some shady tricks and back-story someone else into the workshop? I really want it to be Karl. I love Orson too much to lose him, and the whole Bree and Karl thing sort of sickens me. I like her with Orson, because he helps make her human. With Karl, they both just seem grosser and weirder and more like two people who care about no one but themselves. See you in January, when we hopefully won't have to wait long to find out.
