Would I Think Of Suicide? – Desperate Housewives

There is a killer walking among the residents of Fairview and apparently, he’s not finished.

First Julie was attacked, now Emily, the coffee shop girl, is dead. Could it really be anyone besides one of the Bolens? I think if it were Nick, they’re making it too obvious. I’m guessing another Bolen should be suspected. Nick tells Angie that he was Emily’s last customer. He wants to run again, but she seems to think they have enough luck to get through it. Maybe what they need is a miracle, not luck.

“If someone really wants to get you, they can get you,” says Julie, who is, understandably, super freaked out. She is afraid her attacker is going to follow her if she goes somewhere so she switches cars with Carl. This ends up being a giant problem when Susan sees Julie’s car outside some sleazy motel. She assumes Julie is in their with Nick. She is ready to break down the door until she peaks through the window and sees Bree and Carl.

The ladies go to a self-defense class. Susan chooses to tell Bree that she knows about the affair while she has Bree in a headlock. Bree tells Susan she is willing to stop being friends with Susan if she has to to be with Carl and storms out. Susan has Bree and Carl over to give Bree the “Carl facts.” She really doesn’t seem to care how awful he was to Susan and says she will trust him because she loves him. Loves him? That’s the first time that phrase pops out. Susan gets over her anger really quickly and gives them her blessing.

As a part of Bree and Carl’s plot to get Bree a divorce from Orson, Bree visits a “friend” of Orson’s (a.k.a. flossy’s) from the inside. Bree pays him $600 to come talk to Orson so that he would violate his parole and Bree could blackmail him into a divorce. The convict comes, so we’ll see next week how this plays out.

Danny tells Julie that he knows about the affair between her and his dad. Oddly, he still wants to be with her. She flat-out tells him that’s just weird and it’s never going to happen. Next we see, Danny’s passed out on his bed with an empty bottle of pills. He regains consciousness in the hospital, but wakes up telling Mona, their neighbor/nurse, that his real name is Tyler. Huh?

It’s war between the Scavo’s and Solis’. Carlos keeps trying to push Lynette out by throwing her a goodbye party and moving her office to a supply closet. Gaby and Carlos decide to let up and call a truce just as Lynette’s lawyer serves Carlos papers letting him know Lynette is suing them. Truce is over, war is on. Carlos gives Lynette an impossible assignment to complete in a night and fires her when she doesn’t complete it. She warns him she is not going quietly.

We learn a couple new facts about the Bolen’s tonight, but nothings perfectly pieced together yet. Angie murdered someone. Nick and Angie met with “the others” on November 10th, 1991 and after that night they became invisible for 18 years. Angie has a reason to run, but Nick didn’t have to. Nick called the feds which pisses Angie off because now they know they’re still alive.

Katherine has reached a new level of crazy. First she tells MJ that his mom is a bad person because she stole Mike from her and she’s is not getting any younger and it’s hard to meet men. Okay, that’s a little comical. Mike warns Katherine if she talks to MJ one more time she will “know what he’s capable of.” Katherine makes the mistake of picking up MJ from a birthday party and bringing him to her house. She tells Mike that MJ deserves to know the truth and that Susan is a bad person. Mike retaliates. Really retaliates. He tells Katherine that throughout their whole relationship all he thought about was Susan. Every time they were ever together he was always wishing it was Susan. Holy freakin crap. Katherine hold a knife up to her neck and tells him to kill her, it would hurt less. Of course Mike doesn’t, he leaves. Katherine proceeds to call 911 and stab herself. I don’t know if she wants people to think she attempted suicide and feel sorry for her, or if she is going to try to frame Mike, or what.

Next week promises to be the most explosive episode of the season. It’s the holiday’s – Susan comes up with a plan to help Katherine, Bree and Orson come to an agreement and a plane crashes on Wisteria Lane.

The God-Why-Don’t-You-Love-Me Blues – Desperate Housewives

Lynnette's Assets To The Company. (photo courtesy of abc.com)

All of the housewives were involved in the story line this week. The main character, or should I say characters, was not Lynette, but Lynette‘s breasts. It made for a couple of comical scenes, particularly with Carlos.

Gabby kisses John, or rather John kisses Gabby and Ana catches them. At least in this episode she didn’t tell Carlos, but it’s not guaranteed that it won’t come out in the future.

Bree continuously bails out on work to continue her affair with Karl leaving all the work to psycho Katherine.

Katherine has seriously lost it. Although I have to admit, this is the most I’ve ever liked  Katherine. Watching her hop up and down outside  Mike and Susan‘s house and imagining herself watching a ball game with Mike is all quite comical. Now that shes on the outs with Bree because Bree gave her the ax, I’m pretty sure she’s just going to keep losing it until she completely unravels.

Susan finds out this week that Julie quit med school and was having an affair with a married man. She is let in on this huge secret by Andrew, who yay, came back this episode. The married man, “D” that Julie has been seeing is Dominick Bolen and Danny hints that he knows all about this affair by his comments to his dad at his party. I’m pretty sure the mom has no idea. Anyone else think that the mother-son relationship in that family is kind of odd?

This week Gabby is reunited with her past lover and gardener John Rowland. Suddenly John owns a restaurant, which I have to admit is pretty random. Almost like it happened just to add drama? The question is, does Gabby still have feelings for John? And his John really going to date Ana? Seriously? Bree and Carl’s affair gets more tangled this week when Bree realizes that she has more than just sexual feelings for Carl. Is it love? Maybe on Bree’s part but I’m not sure those feelings are reciprocated by Carl. Lynette finally tells her family that she’s pregnant. All of a sudden she is happy with her pregnancy? That was a very sudden shift in feelings. Bob is now Danny Bolen’s lawyer. I’m glad they’re putting Bob in the script more, but I sure hope Bob finds out something about the Bolen’s (which is eluded to in this episode) and breaks the rule of confidentiality. It’s a tad odd that you never see Julie in this episode. If Danny didn’t strangle her, then who did? I don’t know how much I believe his liquor store story. We will find out, but you can bet it won’t be until much later in the season. Watch The Full Episode Here

The Days Ahead Could Be Worse – Desperate Housewives Week 2

The Newest Residents of Wisteria Lane (photo courtesy of ABC)

There was an overdose of new storyline possibilities on desperate housewives tonight. Too much drama? No way, you can’t have too much drama. The big story this week was trying to decipher whether or not Danny strangled Julie. All the signs clearly point to Danny, but I can’t help but wonder whether there is more to the story – so far the mystery is too easy to solve. As I predicted, Katherine has pretty much lost it. It’s pretty comical. The oddest thing to me this week was Mrs. McCluskey’s new romance. I personally don’t prefer see Mrs. McCluskey is a post sex scene, but I’m glad she has gotten a larger role in the story line because she is just so funny. Minus Bree, the past two weeks have been all about the children of the housewives. I would like to see more about the housewives and less about their kids, unless the kid is Andrew who disappointingly hasn’t been on the show yet. Or Julie, I’m glad she’s back. Will the days ahead be worse? Of course they will because that’s what makes us tune in every week. Watch The Full Episode Here
