You’ll also find out whether McCallister is on the Republican presidential ticket and if Nora is leaving the Walker nest. [Kristin@E!Online]

Desperate Housewives
Indeed. Susan will be attending Lamaze class and preparing for her new arrival when we see her next. [Kristin@E!Online]
Gabrielle will be dealing with her blind honey when the show returns. She won’t be the overly supportive type. She returns Carlos’ Seeing Eye dog, because it doesn’t fit in with their lifestyle. Though that may have something to do with the fact that Carlos is not completely up front with her about his condition. [Kristin@E!Online]
Gabrielle will learn that ex-hubby Carlos was permanently blinded in the tornado – but not before Carlos tricks her into remarrying him. Bree and Orson will keep living with Susan until their home is repaired – and Orson eventually will reveal his part in the accident that put Mike in a coma back in season 2.

She’s a bit pissed off that the dog will only be of use to Carlos and won’t be able to do anything that will actually help her. [SpoilerFix.com]
Eli Stone
It looks like Beth, the V-card stealer from the pilot, will be back by the March 27 episode, but which Stone is she there for? [Kristin@E!Online]
There’s going to be a new twist on the visions as Eli will be flashing back, in his brother’s shoes, to his past in order to find out more about his father’s death. That should be depressingly interesting. [Kristin@E!Online]
Eli may be on the way to recovery through a tricky procedure that is clearly dangerous. As Eli points out, “It’s just like getting your appendix out . . .if your appendix was buried deep in a vital part of your brain.” [Kristin@E!Online]

Christina, meanwhile, will have her own professional crisis over being Hahn’s resident, and Ava/Rebecca will be back for three episodes. Also making a brief return: Addison. “There are a couple of surgeries only she can perform,” says Rhimes, “and there are a lot of relationships only she has.

Craig Thomas talking about an upcoming episode: “Our third episode is this hilarious Barney episode called ‘The Final Four’ that has Neil trying to figure out which woman from his past is stalking him, which woman from his past is so embittered at him that she is trying to ruin his current life. She’s following him around and telling various women he hits on not to date him because he’s a bastard. The way he has to figure it out is that, since it’s in the middle of the NCAA tournament, he makes a bracket of 64 women, and he pits them against each other. Like, between these two women, who would be more pissed off at me—and sort of narrow it down to the final four. So it’s like the pre-NCAA March Madness episode.” [Kristin@E!Online]

They’re adding a new cop to the team: Captain Brian Tidwell. I’m hearing he’s a rough-around-the-edges guy. Apparently he’s got a thing for sports betting, whiskey and women. Sounds like the guy is a bit of a mess, but in the most endearing sort of way. [Kristin@E!Online]
