ABC is trying GCB out in DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES timeslot on Sunday, April 8, and then will air a second all-new episode afterward making it a two-hour block. Ratings could go a long way toward securing GCB a spot on the network's fall schedule.

In "Turn the Other Cheek" (9:01-10:00 p.m., ET), when Luke convinces Carlene to take the Matron of Honor duties away from Sharon and give the honor to Amanda for her "Gone with the Wind"-themed renewal of marriage vows, Sharon is out for blood. Carlene tries to turn the other cheek and accept Amanda, while Amanda is overwhelmed with her new duties.

Meanwhile, Heather seeks forgiveness from the GCBs, and Blake surprises Cricket with a special request.
