A priest recognizes Dave at a liquor store, which will not make Dave happy.
March sweeps
This season, sweeps are in March instead of February. Sundays during March sweeps include March 8, 15, 22, and 29. New episodes on those dates are likely.
May sweeps
This season, Sundays during "May" sweeps include April 26, and May 3, 10, and 17. (I know what you're thinking: isn't it crazy to begin sweeps so soon after the last sweeps? And isn't it crazy to call it "May sweeps" when they take up the last week of April? The answer to both those questions is "yes.") New episodes on those dates are likely.
General season 5 spoilers
Dave draws someone else on Wisteria Lane into his revenge plot against Mike.
Marc Cherry has an idea for a past character who may return this season: it's either Felicia, Zach, Paul, or Betty.
Season 5 will have 24 episodes.
Other spoilers
The show is now expected to run through season 9. In other words, the show might sign off in May of 2013. DH creator Marc Cherry has talked before about wanting to do a series called Vicious Cheerleaders but with DH possibly running two years beyond his previous expectations of seven years, who knows if Vicious Cheerleaders will ever see the light of day.
Gabrielle's stepfather (who molested her as a teenager) was supposed to show up last season, but the strike put that on hold. He'll show up eventually, possibly this season.
