Online reviewers have weighed in on the latest Desperate Housewives episode.

Here's what they had to say about "What Would We Do Without You?":

• Karen Leigh at EW.com wasn't impressed with Carlos's behavior:

  Here's what I hate about Carlos. Just when you start thinking he's a decent human being, he tells his girlfriend that he doesn't want to move in together because he doesn't love her. Thus, we were promptly enrolled in Manipulation and Deceit 101, with Professor Edie Britt. Wearing the world's tackiest, loudest eyesore of a dress (am I hallucinating, or was there a mirror hanging off of that thing?), she strolled over to a nursing home, found Carlos' landlady, and faster than you can say 'functional junkie,' 'smack,' and 'smack is so '90s', Carlos was grudgingly hightailing it to Edie's crib. I love how he claimed not to love her, but although he could've stayed in a hotel, or with Mike and Susan (hello, they're finished using the love trailer), he's obviously whipped, and he followed Edie with little more than a halfhearted did-you-have-anything-to-do-with-this fight.

  You can read her full analysis over at EW.com.

• Dave Anderson at TV Guide Online however was more forgiving, and approved of Carlos's honesty. "I was glad Carlos was honest with Edie by telling her he wasn't in love with her, and it was good for Edie to see that Carlos seemed disappointed that her pregnancy test was negative. Her latest scam is a doozie: convincing Carlos to move in with her and to have a baby together, but secretly continuing to take her birth control pills. Oh, Edie. So seedy. And I thought she was already diabolical when visiting Sunny Pastures and getting Mrs. Sims to evict Carlos by lying and saying he 'does smack'."

• Jen Creer at TV Squad loved Edie's tactics to entrap Carlos. "I know this is going to sound absolutely insane, but I like Edie better now than I ever had before. I know she gets more and more manipulative with every episode, but she also becomes more human. It's not like she isn't completely predictable. If Carlos doesn't know her well enough by now to figure out that she is lying about wanting a baby, then I don't really think we can put all the blame on her just because he's a moron. I know that Carlos desperately wants a baby (a son, apparently), but is he really blind to how Edie has treated Travers for his entire life up until recently?"

• There is also brief recap at Television Without Pity, where visitors have so far rated it a B.
