Careful The Things You Say – Desperate Housewives

Susan believes that Katherine attacked Julie because Angie put that idea in her head in last weeks episode. It would’ve made sense for Angie to say that if they were still considering Danny as their main suspect, but his name has been cleared. I have an inkling that she is covering up for someone else, say, Nick?

The detective that offers to investigate Katherine, Denise Lapera, has an old bone to pick with Susan. In high school, Susan gave her the nickname moose and stole her boyfriend. Seriously, who holds a grudge like that for like 20 years? That’s just a tad pathetic moose.

Moose talks to Katherine and learns Katherine‘s alibi – she was on the phone with her Dylan, her no-longer-existent-on-this-show daughter. While moose is talking to Katherine, she learns that Susan shot Katherine and since Susan failed to report it, she arrests Susan for her “closure.”

Angie cooks a 10,000 course meal for Bree and Orson in hopes of Bree hiring her. Initially Bree says no until a sausages and peppers crowd catering job for 500 pops up and Bree will only be hired if she makes some authentic Italian food. Bree feeds Angie a sob story about an Italian food loving, burn victim friend in hopes of getting Angie‘s recipes. Angie gives them to her, but then catches Bree making them for an anniversary party. Well, Angie calls Bree a 2-faced condescending bitch who will never make a dime off of her dead grandmother. Bree apologizes to Angie and hires her and of course they have a little heart to heart. Angie tells Bree if there’s one thing she knows how to do is keep things to herself. With Bree and Angie, it’s tack vs. candid.

Gabby starts homeschooling Juanita and gets completely stressed out about it. The Solis’ new housekeeper, Ivana, stops cleaning and starts teaching. Gabby of course doesn’t fill in Carlos about this, so he fires Ivana. Eventually, Carlos says he’ll get Juanita a tutor because Gabby being her teacher is ruining their relationship. What I would like to know is, since when does Gabby do everything Carlos‘ way?

Julie confides in Lynette that it was Nick she was having the affair with after Lynette over hears them fighting. Julie says Nick loves her and wants her to take him back. Lynette tells Julie that she will handle Nick. Lynette talks to Nick, but he freaks out saying that Julie‘s leading him on and if Lynette tells anyone about the affair, she’s the one who’s going to be sorry. This is when the light bulb goes off in Lynette‘s head that Nick might have been the one that attacked Julie. Lynette tells Tom this and they confront Julie about it, but Julie not-so-convincingly says he would’ve never done it. Lynette and Tom report it to the police, we’ll see what they do about it in the next episode.

This week we find out that Angie has known about her husbands affair for weeks. What we don’t know is how she found out. After Lynette and Tom reported Nick to the police, of course the cops wanted to talk to him but Angie lied and gave Nick an alibi saying that he was with her all night. Obviously, Nick doesn’t really have an alibi. Nick is starting to look pretty ding, dang, dong guilty. When Angie confronts Nick about the affair, she says that he can’t go anywhere and she can’t go anywhere so they have to get through this and she’s put him through a lot so he gets this one slip up and then she socks him. What is Angie referring to?

The moral of the story this week? The truth is, there is only so much you can learn from books. The only way to truly learn is from your mistakes.

My questions this week – where was Danny and Ana this episode and where has Cecilia been all season?

Next week – Gabby confesses sins and bribes a priest, someone is sleeping with someone, Susan and Katherine go to court and Gabby finds out that Lynette is pregers. I found the preview a bit confusing.

Everybody Ought to Have a Maid

It’s judgment day on Wisteria Lane.

I found this week’s Desperate Housewives to be a tad more amusing then it has been lately and filled with witty one liners.

Julie comes home from the hospital to quite the affectionate crowd. Honestly, way to cheesy for me. Blah. At her welcome home party she breaks up with Dominick, but the decision isn’t mutual. Then, Danny and Dominick have a “man-to-man” conversation in which we find out that Danny and Julie were fighting the night she was attacked because he thought she was lying about having a boyfriend, which of course turns out to be his dad. Dominick tricks Danny into not telling Angie about the affair, but don’t worry, I’m sure it’ll come out soon enough.

Mrs. McCluskey is back this week and confides in Lynette about her sex life. “When he’s down, it’s global, you know what I’m saying?” Personally, I think they should put Mrs. McCluskey into the story line using something other than her sex life. Anyway, so Lynette hires Mrs. McCluskey’s boyfriend, Roy, to be their handyman. Turns out, Roy’s the only one on the show who’s not afraid of Lynette and chooses to get Tom‘s permission over Lynette‘s because Tom is the “man of the house” and Lynette is “crunching Tom’s walnuts” which of course totally pisses Lynette off. When Lynette tails Roy, he says “Boy, you’re everywhere. We should get you a bell.” Clever Roy.

Laura Miller, played by One Tree Hill’s Barbara Alyn Woods, accuses Gabby of being a bad mother because she doesn’t hover over her kids 24/7. This ignites a fire in Gabby to throw the best kids birthday ever for Juanita, at which a monkey ends up trying to eat a clown. Success? Not so much. Funny? A little. It was all typical Gabby.

A maid at Bree and Karl’s home-away-from-home hotel finds out that Bree is cheating on her husband and decides to give her a little lesson on morality. “Cheating’s not a sin when you do it in pearls,” the maid said, sarcastically of course. Turns out the maid cheated on her husband and ended up losing him and her boyfriend and is now full of deep regret. Bree admits that she feels awful, but has no intention of stopping. “If you finish your magazine, there’s a bible in the nightstand.” Dude, this maid is funny.

Katherine continues  her fight for Mike, face-flirting with him during the neighborhood watch meeting. It is there that Susan finds out about Katherine hitting on Mike and threatens to seriously hurt her. Then, Susan shoots Katherine in the shoulder at the end of the episode. Complete accident of course. Julie had it because she heard someone lerking around outside, Katherine the spy, and Susan being the klutz she is, fires the gun. Well, the gun was given to Julie by Danny and it was registered under the Bolen’s real name, so Angie convinces Katherine not to call the police because if she doesn’t Mike will totally get back with her. In your dreams Katherine. And Angie, we’re going to find out your secret eventually, so how about you just give us a little hint to go off of, huh?

The moral of the story is, what happens when we start judging ourselves instead of just judging others?

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?

Never Judge A Lady By Her Lover – Desperate Housewives

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

Desperate Housewives Season Premiere

This past Sunday was the season premiere of Desperate Housewives. If you are like me and have been holding your breathe since the season finale to see who Mike Delfino’s bride was, you can finally breathe. Thank heavens it was Susan. Really, Katherine has gone a little cookoo and I’m sure will continue to be throughout the season for dramatic effect. Some may think about Lynette’s reaction to her pregnancy and think it makes her some horrible person for not loving her unborn fetuses. Personally, I’m rather annoyed she’s pregnant, I mean seriously, hasn’t there been enough about her being a mom? They made the mistake of taking off her cute, younger, entertaining kids and putting through a growth spurt so they could become rather boring. Just leave it at that. Not too much happening with Gabby and Carlos this week. Of course the big drama this season will be without a doubt with the new residents of Wisteria Lane. Was that their son that strangled Julie? Oh yeah, and the whole Brie and Carl thing is just plain weird.
