After the Swedish body builder was felt up and turned down while applying to move into Hotel Solis, Ellie showed up. The skinny on Ellie: She's an art student, who is really a tattooist, who is really a drug dealer. I never bought that she was an art student who enjoyed painting fruit, but I was hoping for something a little less sinister than drug dealing. I thought maybe she liked to paint fruit that happened to be sitting next to nude male models. In any case, Gaby wasn't about to let some random stranger swoop in and claim her role of household tramp. And who better than to ''out'' the new girl than the neighborhood gays!

It's been weeks and a writers' strike since we last saw Bob and Lee, and with their colorful attire tonight, I bet even Bree could have spotted them from atop Moral Mountain. A couple important things we learned about Bob and Lee: If you think the stranger living in your house is possibly a hooker, hire Bob and Lee to run the covert sting, and they will happily get that hooker out of your house. If you're currently casting for the role of Tony in West Side Story, Lee is your man; he's gotten rave reviews in the past, from critics and presumably from the members of the cast he's slept with. Oh, I almost forgot, Lee is also available if you're looking to start a Wham! cover band. Unfortunately, if you're looking for protection, Lee tends to curl up in the fetal position and cry when threatened physically. So look elsewhere.

After Operation Solis-itation was aborted, and Gaby's offer of margaritas for all was rejected by everyone except me, Ellie confronted her landlord: ''Dude, you just told your neighbor I'm a whore!'' I liked Ellie, even if she is a lying drug dealer. Maybe it's because I like Justine Bateman. But it could also be because she was a far more likable lying drug dealer than previous lying drug dealers on the show. Or the only other lying drug dealer, Mike Delfino.

NEXT: Is Mike a goner?
