Breefan2626, you do have a point, but I think we can all agree that Lynette is having a crappy year. Every story of hers doesn't last for more than 2 episodes: introducing and establishing Renee (7.01-7.02), dealing with Tom's depression (7.02-7.03), needing help with the kids (7.04-7.05), having Momma Scavo around (7.05-7.06), hdealing with nanny Susan (7.07-7.08), dealing with Paul's evil schemes (7.08-7.10), finding out about Tom and Renee (7.11-7.12), dealing with her mom's marriage (7.13-7.14), twins moving out (7.15-7.16)... it's all filler. She had a great year last season: concealing her pregnancy, the feud with the Solises, saving Celia and losing the baby, Preston and Irina, and the strangler story. But now... meh.

I remember last year, before episode 19 aired, that I really wasn't anxious about Susan's money issues story, it had been done to death. And it started in episode 17, which is the next new one to air this season. Another work/money-related story doesn't speak to me. Sure, there'll be a twist, there's always a twist. Last year, Susan and Mike had to move out. This year, it appears it'll be the opposite, as the Scavos move on up and become wealthier. But I'd be much more interested in, say, Kayla's return, than something like this being used in the final episodes.
