"Housewives": Where's the drama?

So it turns out Orson is a good guy after all. Tonight's Desperate Housewives ended on a happy note for the first time in, well, forever. And the result? Serious unease. With no mystery left to solve in the show right now, there's not much to look forward to, so I guess it's good that the show's not on again for two weeks. And the writers better introduce some new drama --- fast.
I mean, c'mon! Lynette and Tom are happy; the pizzeria is a success and they're madly in love. Gaby found out she didn't sleep with Zach and gave him the kiss off, and it's obvious Carlos still loves her (and she him). Susan and Ian got engaged. Why is everyone riding off into the sunset with several episodes left in the season?
The only drama introduced tonight was the engagement ring Ian found in Mike's old belongings. So Mike was going to propose to Susan before his coma; duh!
Next week's scenes don't even show much promise. Ooh...Danielle claims she's pregnant. Does anyone honestly care about Danielle? Julie and Austin kissing --- yawn. Oh, and Ian wants to rush the wedding. Big drama! We all know Susan and Ian won't last anyway, so let him rush along the break up. Gaby's going to meet a new flame; yes, he's a fave character actor of mine from Sex and the City and Ed, but I'll ask again: where's the drama people?
Last week they finally created some intrigue, and now within one episode they've already squashed it. If I wanted a happy ending I'd watch something else.
