Ahh—two shows are back with a vengeance tonight! Desperate Housewives certainly gets hotter with the arrival of Vanessa Williams. She’s moving to Wisteria Lane as Lynette’s wealthy friend. Also coming to town is 90210 alum Brian Austin Green as Bree’s new handyman (and possibly more!).

And after one of the most poignant, shocking and game changing cliffhangers ever—Dexter returns. Tonight’s show picks up mere moments after Dexter discovers that his wife Rita has been murdered by the Trinity killer. The repercussions will play out the entire season—and we can’t wait to see if Dexter’s dark secrets finally catch up with him.
