Desperate Housewives

this was a great episode of desperate housewives with some great moments, the stuff with edie and susan was ok although i thought susan was abit cruel letting edie attack that waiter, the bree storyline was also pretty fun with her sponser, the gaby stuff however was the best i felt so sorry for her at the end evea longoria really is a brilliant actress her best work on the show so far, the applewhites made an apperance this week which wasnt very enjoyable but i will be glad when that broing storyline is over

This made me cry soo much my heart was breaking for Gabby! she really did love Lilly it was unbelievable and she just looked soo innocent and delicate when Carlos was holding her back as the cab drove away! I hate that mother and father i cant believe they took the baby back incase it might work they didnt even love Lilly! its not right! its terrible! aww i cried soo much it really did touch me and i was soo proud that Gabby loved Lilly! I really hope that Gabby and Carlso get to be happy eventually with a beautiful baby!

luff it xx

This episode really was one of the best of season 2. It had that special mixture of drama and comedy that makes Desperate Housewives such a great show.



Susan has to learn how to say the truth and not hide everything from the people in her life. She did that with Mike, Dr. Ron and now with Edie..and I'm sure the consequences will be nasty once again. That said, the scene at the bar was hilarious.



Lynette's storyline takes a darker turn because Ed's a coward too and I pity Bree for her two monster children. But it's Gabrielle who takes the center spot in this episode turning into a showcase for the awesome Eva Longoria. It's a shame she didn't get nominated for an Emmay for her performance in this episode. I'm so hoping that she'll get her baby back, it was heartbreaking to see them take it away from her just because that awful stripper wants to "give that whole family thing a shot". Poor, poor Gaby.

>!!!!!!!



i ve seen this scean again and again an i cantt stop crying!!!



Eva longoria made me cry for the first time in this show!!!



when they took the baby away and she started shouthing she was so in to the charachter......



my favourite character is Lynet (F. Haufman) but in this episode E. longoria was brilliant!!!!



this episode is this season best episode and keep watching and keep watching this episode again and again two years after.....



this episode and the bang (season 3 ep. 7) are my favourites.....



go desperate housewives......



greedings from greece......



xXx

Finally, after several bad episodes in a row, a good episode is aired. Finally!



I laughed when I watched episode, but it was so sad to see Gaby and Carlos when they took their baby. Haha, and it was funny when Lynette sent Ed a "message" :D.



But I really dislike the Susan-Edie scenes, oh come on, it is enough that she burnt Edie's house in first season, now this too?



Well, I guess it was neccessary because, they are so running out of ideas.



Also, Bree was good in this episode. But, Andrew didn't appear, so finally, Bree's life is not only focused now Andrew and her.



Hmh, and Applewhites... so shocking. I really wonder wht will happen next.

Am I the only person who finds Susan to be one of the most self-absorbed, hypocritical characters currently on television (especially since Marissa Cooper carked it?) Her pretending to hjave Edie's back was disgustingly hypocritcal. If it had been an honest mistake, she should have fessed up to it and copped Edie's revenge sweet, instead of pretening to have her back.



If I were Lynette, I would have threatened to quit myself, seeing's Ed finds her so dispensable. Although I'm not too impressed with the way Tom runs to Lynette whenever something doesn't turn out as well as he had planned. Oh, so being a houseparent isn't as easy as you imagined? Tough luck, wifey did it for ten years...



Bree is just asking for trouble, getting involved with Peter. Poor woman, she has such appalling taste in men.



And extra-poor Gabrielle. For all her shallowness, she genuinely loves Lily, and to see her literally torn from her arms was heartbreaking. I wanted to thottle the stripper who thought 'she may as well give parenting a try'; I hope she comes running back to the Solises for a loan or something in s3 when things don't work out so well.



This show is largely ruiined for me by the presence of Susan. I give it 9/10, taking two away for such an annoying character. 7/10

all of the housewives acting in this episode was great, especiallymarcia cross and eva longorias, i actually cried at the end where gabrielle started shouting, you cant takke the baby, we\'va already fallen in love with it, its just something you expect from gabrielle. this is exactly why i watch this series i just want a few more scenes with all of the housewives (including edie) in.

When it comes to life, you’re either given everything you deserve or basically, a lot of things you don’t. When it comes to being preachy, this episode was a little much but it comes to our ladies, what exactly is it that they deserve?



In my opinion for Gabrielle, I always think that she deserves to realise that they are consequences for the way she manipulates people and that there is a price for trampling on them to get what she wants. However the next part, while hypocritical but true, I don’t really care how she used Libby, Frank and Lily’s biological father in question, Dale because judging from this episode alone, the three of them are idiots.



Yes we finally meet Lily’s real Daddy and just like his brother, Dale is every bit of a moron as Frank is, if not more. The fact he doesn’t want his daughter is bad enough but add the fact that he’s more than willing to allow his brother to use Lily as a means to punish Libby is just pathetic.



What really infuriates me though is even after Gabrielle got Dale to sign over his paternal rights, Frank and Libby then decide to get Lily anyway. No offence but given how both of them have worse reputations than the self-serving Solis’, I really can’t understand why any law would allow these two half-wits to get Lily over Gabby and Carlos but in the world of TV cruelty, Lily being taken away at the moment that Gabrielle bonded with the little tot, it was ironic.



A lot of people on TWOP said that Eva Longoria did a hammy job during her big dramatic moment of the season but in fairness, I thought it was actually good enough. The scene could’ve used a little more “oomph” but for once, it was extremely easy to feel sorry for Gabrielle and I usually don’t but like I said, it was extremely easy here.



Since we’ve met Gabrielle we’ve known she was against having children, watched as she got tricked into getting pregnant, and began to adjust to the idea of motherhood before having a miscarriage. The same has emerged again only this time, Gabrielle had a brief experience of being a mother before it was taken away from her. It’s also cruel that adoptive parents have to go through a similar ordeal of bonding with a child and then having it taken away from them.



It’s also lousy that Lily is being given to people like Libby and Frank who obviously don’t even care about her. Frank’s comment about having the right to mess her up from two episodes ago is also fresh in my mind, which adds to my anger and sympathy for the Solis’ this week.



Speaking of lousy, Karl’s bedside manner leaves a lot to be desired for as his method of breaking up is pretty below the belt and cowardly. He may have gotten off lightly with dumping Edie (just about) but he certainly deserved the “rat” labelled received to him by the other housewives. I’ve never seen Edie this upset before and Susan’s attempted of alleviating her guilt by trying to help Edie was both hilarious and pathetic at the same time.

At least when Edie’s dumped, she’s proactive and when getting a hunger and thirst for chicken and beer isn’t comforting for her, then Edie takes to beating the living daylights out of a waitress who she mistakes for Karl’s new woman as a consolation prize.



I think Nicolette Sheridan gave a wonderful performance for this episode and for the season alone and if not, this was certainly her funniest moment to date. I loved the little “pretty/ugly sister” analogy she made at Susan’s expense and how once again she misinterpreted Susan’s ulterior motive as an act of kindness. Susan had better hope for her sake that Edie is in a better mode when she learns about her involvement with Karl or that Edie’s private detective pal Oliver is really lousy at his job because if not then Susan is in for one major smackdown of the century.



When it comes to forgiving, Lynette must have the tolerance of a saint, given the fact she has an absolutely weak-willed boss in Ed, who this week after inadvertently getting a sexy message from Lynette meant for Tom, decides to use her to spice up his sexless marriage with Fran only for it backfire spectacularly and as a result of saving his bacon, Ed decides to fire Tom. Great plan there, dude. Here’s a better one Ed, how about growing a backbone and standing up to your freak of a wife. Lynette looked worried over the thought of her husband losing his job but she really should’ve done something to dissuade Ed from using Tom as a scapegoat.



In better plotting, Bree’s continued relationship with Peter gets more and more interesting as we get a clearer glimpse of Peter’s sex addiction after Bree becomes his sponsor. Well she did get his other one Claude arrested for drug possession which being serious proves that Cherry and company really do think their characters are entitled to meddle in other people’s affairs so they can get what they want.



The darker of Peter’s addiction being that Bree “rescues” him from the safest looking swingers’ party I’ve seen on TV. The upshot seems to be that Peter is scared of getting close to Bree as he’s hurt other people who have gotten close to him but Bree appreciates his honesty and therefore thinks that he can’t hurt her because he’s already shown her most of his darker nature. As much as I like Peter and I really do, once again I think Bree is letting her naivety get in the way of logical thinking.



Darker places also come much sooner as in order to stay on Wisteria Lane, Matthew and the brainless hussy Danielle orchestrate poor Caleb to appear to “attack” the latter and it works too. Forget Danielle pretending to be scared of Caleb (though I think a small part of her probably was), a gun toting Bree was a lot more scary that an unstable Caleb in this episode.



Caleb’s outburst also had the consequence of breaking Bree and Betty’s forged alliance as Bree literally instructs Betty to deal with Caleb. Sadly Betty has to take the stupid extreme and decides that maybe murdering her slow son is a good option. Didn’t the Applewhites move to Wisteria Lane to escape a murder? Is Betty dense enough to think another death will solve her problems when getting professional help is a kinder solution all round?



Have to say I really pity poor Caleb. Betty’s often unnecessary cruelty to him all season is bad enough but Matthew trying to get him to attack his girlfriend is beyond evil. I started the season actively liking Matthew but after this episode, I sort of hate him and I absolutely hate Danielle. Besides Joy Lauren’s bad acting, Danielle is just a stereotypical carbon copy teenage dimwit we’ve seen on countless shows.



How can Marc Cherry get the likes of Julie, Zach and Justin right and fail spectacularly with the likes of Andrew (though to be fair, at least Shawn Pyfrom can actually act despite Andrew being a lousy excuse for a human being), John (Jesse Metcalfe, nice looking but very wooden) and now Danielle? If I were Cherry I’d start re-watching episodes of Six Feet Under, The Sopranos and Weeds when it comes to writing for teenagers now.



Also in “It Wasn’t Meant To Happen”



Husband of the week: We see Karl dumping three different women all by letter and all while they’re sleeping. We also saw his car being hit by a tow truck after Edie failed to get him with a rake.



Edie (to Karl): “Who are you to tell me that I haven’t been happy, you miserable son of a b***h. I have been ecstatic”.



Edie’s break-up had Susan offering lame books such as “Live To Love” while Edie labelled her unknown love rival as a “man-eating, scum s**king ho-bag”.



Frank: “Dumb**s”

Dale (re Lily): “She smells clean”.



Claude: “I’m also a sponsor of Cocaine Anominous”

Bree: “Well aren’t you the cultured man”.



Claude was played by M.C. Gainey, otherwise known as the leader of The Others in Lost. The guy has a really distinctive voice.



Susan: “What would you say?”

Edie: “Too little, too late b***h and I’d kick her”.



Gabrielle (re Dale): “God would drop you out of college so fast it would make your head spin and the football season would go to hell. No pun intended”.



I noticed the short credit sequences are back again this week. I’m sick of complaining about it as I am with ABC’s attitude towards the credits.



Lynette: “You’re gonna fire me?”

Ed: “No, of course not. You’re too important to the firm. I’m gonna fire Tom”.



No Andrew, Mike, Paul or Zach this week.



Edie (to Oliver): “Basically I want you to tail my ex. He left me for another woman and I wanna nail that ho-bag to the wall”.

Libby: “I’ll pay you back”

Gabrielle: “I don’t want the money, I want my baby”.



Out of 20 episodes so far this year, this is the second one to be scripted by Marc Cherry.



First off all, “It Wasn’t Meant To Happen” is superb and highly watchable, even during the Susan segments of this hour but as much as Marc Cherry’s are fine with me, I did find a lot of this episode a tad too preachy in parts. That being said, this season is constantly improving and that can’t be a bad thing.



Rating: 8 out of 10.

The best part of this episode was Gabrielle's reaction to Lily being taken away. Her tearful pleading to the parents of the baby was so emotional and seems incredibly heartfelt. That was her best performance on the show thus far.



My favorite line of the show was when Bree went to pick up Pete at the orgy and was greeted by a naked woman. The woman complimented Bree's hair and lamented that here's was out of a bottle, to which Bree looked down and replied "I know.” So funny!



The part with Lynette and her boss was weird. Who would actually let their employee have cyber sex with their wife? And I though the fact that that other employee lied to Ed about being a father would come back into play later in the episode, like when Ed said he had to fire someone, I figured Lynette would pipe up about the other employee's lies. But she didn't. Alas, she could have saved Tom.



And I could have dealt without the bar fight scene. Susan always gets herself into huge messes.



Finally the issue with Caleb came to a head today, and at first I wasn't sure what was going on. Why would Matthew send Caleb over to Danielle's if he knew she wouldn't want him there, and knew he would get in trouble. But it all came into place at the end that he and Danielle were in cahoots in order to get rid of Caleb and stay together. I bet he was surprised when his mother wanted to poison Caleb. I'm sure he wasn't expecting that.

This episode had a powerfull message and was also amusing and dramatic.

I also think that it will be interesting to see how this season ends, because last season had the whole mystery of why Mary Alice killed herself, however, this year, the 2nd season has so many storylines, that I can't see how they will end the season with a bang! like last year (no pun intended).





A fine example of why this show is still a massive hit.

Kudos to the writers.

This week on DHW, Carl finally decides to leave Edie and has to pay the price as she catches him just as he is about to walk out. So Edie decides to go after the woman who she thinks is responsible and along with Susan attacks and innocent waitress. Bree is very much trying to be romantic with Peter but has to deal with his sponsor for Peter’s sex addiction. Bree gets Peter’s sponsor arrested on possession of cocaine (a very evil thing to do as he was only trying to help some cocaine addict…) and so she now has Peter all to herself. Carlos and Gabriel are shocked when there babies father shows up asking for his daughter, but Gabriel uses her craftiness to get the father to sign a release form. However, ultimately she looses the baby as it is now the mother who wants the baby. Lynette tries to help her boss jump start his love life but the whole deal blows up in there face. So Ed’s wife is making him fire the person responsible for sending her the sexy messages, and in fear of loosing Lynette (who sent her the messages) Ed tells his wife it was Tom and now is going to fire him. Lastly, Daniel and Matt plan a way to get Caleb into trouble so that Betty would not move. We find out that Betty has decided to kill her so in order to relive him from his miserable life.

"It Wasn't Meant to Happen". What can I say about this episode of the show? First off, I definitely found it to be very entertaining, thanks in large part to Carlos and Gabrielle's, and Bree and her A.A sponsor's storylines.



What I enjoyed about Carlos and Gabrielle's storyline was how they were fighting the father of Lilly to keep custody of her. What was espcially comical regarding Lilly's father was how Gabrielle made a special trip to his high school - which happened to be a Catholic high school - and almost spilled the beans about his little indescresion with a stripper in her prayer for the football team. However, the only thing that I found heartbreaking about this storyline came at the end of the episode; when Carlos and Gabrielle had to give up Lilly, since her birth mother decided to keep her. It was so saddening to see Gabrielle break down in the street after she had to give Lilly back to the mother, mainly due to the fact that in that short time, she came to love the little girl.



On to the next storyline I enjoyed; that of Bree and Peter, her A.A. sponsor. I found it quite interesting to see the lengths Bree would go to get to spend more time with him, even if it meant sending his addiction sponsor to jail on drug trafficing charges. What I also found interesting about their storyline was the lengths Bree would go to help Peter out when the time could come if Peter wanted to act upon his urges and Bree had to go help him out.



Now onto the storylines that I wasn't so thrilled about: Lynette talking dirty to her boss's wife for him and the whole Susan/Edie/Karl storylines. Ok, Ed wants to spice up his relationship with his wife, so why have Lynette talk dirty to her and then when his idea goes horribly wrong, he plans on having Tom take the blame for what went wrong instead of taking the blame himself. The same goes with Edie and Susan's triangle with Karl. Okay, so Karl breaks up with Edie and was too chicken to do it face to face. The only thing that made it enjoyable to watch was when Karl tried to make a break for it and ultimately crashed his car into a garbage truck. While it was nice to see Edie and Susan bond over how both women got dumped by the same guy, it would have been more believable if Susan admitted it was ultimately her fault Karl broke up with her. The one thing that I'm looking forward to is to see how Edie is going to take the news about Karl and Susan's relationship in the next episode.



Lastly, the storyline that I truly did not like was Danielle and Matthew's plan to keep the Applewhite's on Wisteria Lane: by having Caleb attack her, which would result in Bree having Betty send him to an institution that can help him. And as much as I like Betty, I kind her plan of dealing with Caleb was some what extreme, unnessary, and sadistic. What kind of mother would want to kill their child instead of getting them the medical help they need? Lastly, all I have to say about Bree's part in this whole thing was that it was nice to see her unwavering love for her ungrateful brats helped her confront Betty about her son.



In all, this was one well written episode that I enjoyed very much. I hope the rest of the season continues to be as good as this episode.

Where to start…



Writers Cherry and Spezialy really took control over this episode through the characters’ dialogue. Scenes that would be considered dramatic in other television shows turned this episode of Housewives into a comedic success. Gabby’s multiple encounters with Dale proved to be the perfect mix of comedy and plot design that left viewers totally stunned when the Solis’ daughter was taken from them. Can I say tearjerker?

(I might add that if Eva Longeria isn’t nominated for an Emmy after her performance in this episode, I will personally write a letter of complaint!) Eva displayed a great range of emotion that really catapulted her into the star of this episode.



In one of his commentarial episodes of season one, Marc Cherry confessed that he really thought there was a lack of religious outlook displayed on television, and that he’d really like to incorporate some of that into Housewives. Well, this season has definitely been Christianified, but in this particular instance, the outcome was not sleazy, but rather satirical (and what’s more satirical than a good Christian all-American who knocked up a stripper and then tried to give his illegitimate child to a friend…?). Anyhow, it was this clever use of religious outlook that I was hoping the show would use (in other words, ditch the nun idea Cherry—it’s too overdone).



And speaking of overdone (and I swear this will be my only complaint regarding this episode), this whole Applebees plot has to go… or at least it must go through some major alterations. Every time Mrs. Applebee is on screen I get the feeling that I’m watching a bad soap opera. And that’s not a diss to the actress, but rather to the soap-operatic storylines she’s been given. What makes Housewives so great is its ability to be a mock-soap with an ironic grasp of reality. And the Applebees? Well, let’s just say that I feel no irony…



I definitely noticed (as I’m sure you all did) the return of the Edie/Susan friendship/rivalry. Those two are just great together, and even though I’m starting to feel like their storylines are being rerun, they’re always fun to watch! Plus, you’ve got to love that little catfight they got into. Hilarious!



As for Bree, I almost choked on my water (is that even possible?) laughing when I saw that she ratted out the Sex-Anon sponsor to the cops for having coke. Classic Bree Van De Kamp. That’s definitely one of her funniest bits of the series.



And finally, I’ll end with Lynette. Oh poor, poor Lynette. She went from being the classic housewife mother to wearing the pants of the family. Now she’s giving sex advice to her boss and getting her “expendable” husband fired (although I hope not!). When Lynette and Tom end up with major therapy bills, just remembered who called it. ;)



Well I guess that covers it. I don’t know about you guys, but after that episode, I’m getting wicked pumped for the season finale.



(And Marc? Please give Gabby back her baby!!)



Signing off,

Jen

This was a brilliant episode , another brilliant story and a plotline for nearly all the characters. Three episodes to the two - parter season finale \" Remember \" and there could not be a better episode than this one , that I can say for sure . Eva Longoria performed her very best scene ever, I think. She just could not do any better. Edie and Susan\'s scene were perfect! This was just one episode that could summarize the magic Desperate Housewives cast on the fans, what a strong influence this show has. A terrific episode , definitely deserves a 10!

www.freewebs.com/jkutcher/

The title of the episode could refer to a lot of things, as pretty much everything set up in this season is now falling apart. Tom may be fired from his job, Bree’s relationship with Peter is doomed to fail, Karl leaves Eddie, Gabby and Carlos lose their baby and there was one more thing. Oh yea; Betty is going to kill her son Caleb. That **** is crazy!



This episode was not as funny as most, with Lynette’s storyline being the saving grace. Her boss Ed is having problems with his sex life. He just can’t get his mojo working. Lynette suggests he spice things up a bit with a little Aim dirty typing. Last time I checked, people of their generation don’t use Aim and they certainly don’t have cybersex. Maybe if they spent less time sitting at their desk typing on Aim they could go home and have real sex! Nah that would be way too kinky. Ed is so incompetent when it comes to flirting that he has Lynette type for him. How did this guy ever even get to be the boss? Needless to say the night doesn’t end well for Ed and rather than explain the embarrassing situation to his wife, he blames it on Lynette’s husband, claiming he must now fire him.



The other humors story line involved Bree’s continuing relationship with Peter. Bree really wants to have sex with this guy for some reason. She gets his sex sponsor sent to jail on drug possession charges and then offers up her services. I think it would be hilarious if Bree ruined all these people’s lives just to sleep with Peter and then he couldn’t even get it up. Like maybe he is a closet foreplayaholic pretending to be the inherently more interesting sex addict! To prove that Bree is getting in over her head, Peter calls her in the middle of the night to pick him up at a local orgy. Must have found that **** on Craigslist. Bree remains unperturbed.



Carlos and Gabby lose their baby. Not literally of course, she isn’t that bad of a mom. The stripper and her boyfriend get back together and petition to take their child back. Let’s see, you are an ex stripper that got knocked up by your drug addict boyfriend’s younger brother and then sold your baby to strangers. Yes, I can see that you deserve to procreate, please take this child back. Just promise to remember this valuable lesson; just because its shinny doesn’t mean you need to sell your baby for it.



The Susan storyline was ridiculous as always. In this week’s wacky adventure, Lucile Ball, I mean Susan, must befriend a grieving and vengeful Eddie. Eddie assumes Karl left her for another woman and decides to take all her aggression out on this phantom person. Why do people always misplace their anger? If Karl left you for another woman, you should kill him, not the other woman. The responsibility not to cheat lies on his shoulders. Eddie assumes the other woman is a waitress at hooters and instigates one of the worst cat fight scenes in television history. If you are ever in a knife fight, never rely on Susan to have your back. She is completely useless.



Lastly, the Applewhite storyline seems to be raping up and I doubt they will be back next season. Betty decides the best way to keep Caleb secret at this point is to move away. This pisses Mathew off because he doesn’t want to leave Danielle. Does it seem like he could give a **** about her? The two love birds setup Caleb to take the fall for attacking Danielle. I suppose the plan was to have Caleb institutionalized but Betty thinks it would be far more rational to poison him. I always heard that black mom’s made strict parents!



Parting Thoughts: who is more desperate; Bree or her daughter?

Even though this is one of the most praised episodes of the season, I thought it was boring, and poorly written for the most part.



Lynette's storyline was bad, as usual. They added cybersex into her story, and not only was that a bad decision, but it wasn't funny, and just frankly, weird to watch. She tries to help her sex deprived boss, Ed Ferrara (guest star Currie Graham) by having cybersex with his wife. The one part I enjoyed was that he was considering firing Tom instead as a scapegoat, which could actually turn out good, if they don't screw it up.



Bree's storyline was terrible. I don't like the charactor of Peter for many reasons, but the first one is that they just had to add the whole sex addict thing. I know that it is a real thing, and that there is a meeting for Sex Addict anonymous, but for god sakes, did they honestly need to tack up her storyline? Without Andrew, this season has just been pretty boring in the sense of Bree's world.



Susan's storyline was the worst it's ever been. She slept with Karl last episode, which she shouldn't have, and then Karl announced that he didn't quite breakup with Edie yet. So now, Edie is angry and she wants to get back at this waiteress because she thinks she's sleeping with Karl. She attacks her, which is WAY over the top. There's a barfight, and that's about it... nothing too exciting. I also didn't like her dialouge. Susan usually is smart, and witty, but she was acting like an overcompensating 4th grader. Anyone who has a brain could tell she was up to something by the way she was acting.



Gabrielle's storyline wasn't good either. She went to extreme lengths for this baby, and a big problem with Season Two is that they totally remade her personality. I do not like Carlos being religious, and I especially don't like Gabby being mom of the year. After all of that, she looses the baby, and even though Eva Longoria did a FANTASTIC job acting, it was just weird to watch.



Betty was finally in this episode, after I thought Alfre had quit the show or something, they finally have her in an episode that progresses the 'Applewhite mystery'. At first, I thought it was an interesting concept to have a mother hiding someone in a basement, but after we find out why he's in there, I just lost interest. I still hope that they will include them in the remaining three episodes, since they're not going to be in Season Three because "it didn't turn out well". Ya think?



Overall, poor episode. I know that Marc himself wrote this episode, but this is just a poor excuse of an episode. If it continues at this pace, it's not going to have anywhere near enough veiwers to keep it on Primetime. Our housewives are desperate alright. Desperate for a good storyline, and dialouge that doesn't sound cheesy.

I really enjoyed this episode, the way writers glued all the events and twists was really genious and I'm very satisfied of the quality of the first 2 seasons. Things got pretty sad with Gaby when her adopted baby Lily is taking away after the birth mother repents on giving her to adoption and finally decides to keep her. Also Lynette has a dark way to the end of the season 'cause Ed behaved like a coward when he told her wife a lie that Tom was the one who sent the naughty messages to her on the IM Messenger, so Ed decided to the dislike of Lynette, to fire Tom and Lynette really got dissapointed of who Ed really is and how worried she is now that she has to handle the situation and maybe another dark one, what Tom did that is so bad?. Bree's future looks really dangerous after she's raised 2 monsters as son and daughter, who hate her so bad, and the fact that her family is to close to the Applewhites the creepy ones! What is Andrew going to do to her, i can't wait to see, poor Bree! Also Susan and Edie will have trouble when everything looked like paradise, when Edie finally discover the truth about the intentions of Karl with Susan. Also remain the story of Mike and Paul fathers of Zach and what will happen with Noah Taylor and Felicia!

Looks Juicy so don't miss the last 3 episodes that holds the key!

First of all, the ending of this eppie was one of the saddest things I have ever seen on Desperate Housewives. I cried, and I bet that I am not the only person either. Gabby screaming after her baby just made me cry, and that is a side of Gabby I have never seen either. Or you have seen it once or twice, she hides that side of her VERY very well. Eva Longoria derseves an Oscar for that performace, she had me totally believing it! That was funny though, Karl gives all of his girlfriends \\\'Dear John\\\' letters. Ouch! Excalty why I am soo glad that Edie woke up! That was hilarious when Karl crashed his car into the garage truck! I also KNEW that Edie was gonna hire a private decteive! I knew that she wasnt going to leave that well enough alone. And then Lynette doing the cyber-sex for her boss. That was hilarious, but why kind of guy doesnt know how to write dirty. Its still pretty funny though. And Bree and Peter, I wish she would just let him go. Bree doesnt need the trouble with him, I mean I like Peter but I cant see them together, but like they say oppsites attract.

the whole episode was very funny, but when gabi started to cry, i was bumped. i felt pity for her, and even if carlos just standed there, on his face was a lot of pain. i wonder what happens next... a very deep episode, hope there will be others like this... and really hope eddie won't find out about susan :P

Marcia Cross continues to shine. It\\\'s time she was nominated for the Emmy!



The Susan/Edie storyline seems a little repetitive from season one. Didn\\\'t we see the same thing last year when Susan was keeping a secret from Edie, Edie learned the truth, and then threw Martha Huber\\\'s ashes in Susan\\\'s face? Despite the apparent rehash of the \\\"\\\'we\\\'re good friends\\\' but only a matter-of-time til Edie finds out\\\" plot, kudos to the comedic talents of Nicolette Sheridan. Memo to the writers: More Edie, please!!



Is it just me, or is the whole Lynette-at-work storyline becoming terribly tedious? Do they ever get any work done in that place? And the sexy e-mail mix-ups and now Tom about-to-lose-his-job story is just dumb. Put Lynette back on Wysteria Lane and have her work from home. The office scenes are dragging this show down!!

I loved this episode for different reasons. Edie actually bonded with Susan over her breakup with Carl, which unknown to her, was caused by Susan. She actually hugs Susan. That made me laugh so much.

The whole Lynette helping her boss, went sour and proves her boss is just a whimp who can't even stand u to his wife.

Bree and her new guy was ok, but I found that she really went to an extreme to be able to continue to see him. But that's Bree. I really liked what she told him when he asked her to come and get him. Rex or George were never truthful to her, not always, and so as long as he was that was good.

The best was Gabby, Carlo and Lilly. I mean I cried like hell just seeing her not want ot let them take baby Lilly away. You got to see another side to Gabrielle, and it was good to see that side. We know that she's ready for the responsibility of a child. She really loves Lilly.

As for the Applewhites... I have nothing to say...

I am a irregular viewer of Desperate Housewives. I try to follow alone closely enough so I can be up to date with what is happening. I like the show and the characters very much, but I have a hard time watching it weekly. Last night I was available and I was going to watch just the beginning of the show, then 50 minutes later and I had watched it all. It was very funny and moved so quickly, it is the best of how I remember the show in year 1. I just loved the bar fight, it was great.

In this episode of Desperate Housewives, Karl breaks up with Edie, and apparently he has his very own way of dumping women - leaving them a letter and running away from the confrontation - but in this case it's Edie we're talking about. Karl does break up with her but it costs him his beautiful car. Edie ends up understanding that he's dumping her for another woman.



A guilty Susan runs for the help of Edie getting over Karl, but her "traditional" method (which involves reading related books) is not well accepted. Instead, Edie wants Susan's help in teaching the "other woman" a lesson and the two ends up in a cat-fight in the middle of a restaurant.



The birth father of the Solis' baby shows up demanding his baby back, and while Gabrielle succeeds in getting his signature for the full baby custody, Libby, the birth mother, changes her mind and wants her baby back in order to build a family with Frank, her boyfriend.



Lynette's boss is having trouble in his sex life, therefore his job performance is not very good, a thing which is badly affecting Lynette's work hours. She dicides to help him spice things up with his wife, it goes wrong and someone has to be fired from the company, Tom is this someone.



Bree gets the dirty stuff about Peter, but decides to stick around to help him with his problems and becomes his new SA sponsor.



The Applewhites are back with Betty getting a sale offer on her house in the neighborhood. Neither Daniel nor Matthew wants this move to happen so they both setup a plan, and Caleb is involved.



This was a very regular episode of Desperate Housewives and I do not believe that there were any special shocking events that happened (I loved the scene where Bree uses the gun!)

Still it's a very good episode and a series classic.

I have to say this is probably one of the best performances I’ve seen by Gabriel on DHW. I mean she actually got me to cry by the end when she was screaming and crying. I felt so sorry for them. I mean she was actually in love with that child and you could see it. When Edie finds out that Susan was the other woman, things will get really, really, really ugly. But in Susan’s defense it was not really her fault, I mean when she realized she was the “other woman”, she kicked him out!!! Well it will be interesting to see how that pans out. I’m not pleased with how the Applewhite storyline is turning out at all. I mean it is not making any sense. Lynette needs to warn her husband what is about to happen or maybe she should introduce herself to her bosses’ wife and really stir the pot!!!! I’m beginning to wonder if Matthew is really the reason Caleb killed that other girl. It seems he has total control over his brother. I think this episode is hinting at that.



When Gabrielle went to the school to talk at the mike and got the kid all scared, I was laughing so much. That was a funny scene, and when Lynette was answering the IM’s on behalf of her boss that too was funny, but I knew it would blow up in her face later. She needs to stand up for her husband.



Bree is so manipulative. It’s no wonder her children are the way they are!!! They get it from her!!! Will be interesting to see how the final episodes pan out.

While it was pretty much predictable , I loved the episode.

Too many highlights but seeing Susan \"act concerned\" and

\"bewildered\" by Edie\'s thoughts on \"other\" woman Karl is seeing is hilarous. Of course she never admitted it was, and it was a bit of slyness as she put it on somebody else.



Lynette didn\'t do much in this episode except the cybering.

The bit with Bree and boyfriend of sorts took on a special

direction. The situation with Caleb got out of control, and I don\'t blame Bree for brandishing a gun at the end.



Poor Gabriel as best she tried, she couldn\'t prevent the deadbeat dad and his stripper girl from taking the baby adopted. I agree that Eva did some fine acting here.



All in all it was a pretty great episode.

This episode was awesome. Bree gets a bit closer with Peter, Lynette is about to get her husband fired for something she did, Susan is scared that Edie will find out that she is the "other woman", and Gabrielle gets her baby taken away! So much happened in this episode! The ending was so sad. Eva Longoria did an amazing job though. You felt her pain when she was screaming for them to bring her baby back. It's almost as if it was real. I sure hope that her and Carlos get baby Lilly back! A very sad ending, indeed.

Well, we've been waiting for the Applewrites and now we got them....After this episode I'm wondering just how copeable Mathew is for his girlfriend murder (you know the girl Caleb suposidly killed.)



Poor Gabrielle and Carlos. I felt very sorry for them in this episode.



Susan is a dead woman. When Edie finds out that Carl slept with her, Susan is going to have serious Hell to pay.



This is the Bree I remember. I'm actually enjoying her lately. This is season one Bree. The do anything for someone she loves Bree. Its good to have her back.



Lynette may have bit off more then she can chew not that her boss wants to fire Tom. Then again a cornered Lynette is a dangerous Lynette. Can anyone say Scorched Earth?



Oh yeah and finally....question, are both of Bree's children Evil? I don't mean Scavo kids rambuctious evil. I mean full on "I'll do anything, destroy anyone to get waht I want" evil here people. Yeah, I think they're evil. Oh boy, I think Bree's in trouble.

Well, we wanted more of the Applewhites and it happened here. I loved Bree\'s reaction when Danielle screamed, gun in hand and ready to move. Having it that Danielle and Matthew thought the whole thing up was great but it was topped by Betty\'s decision to kill Caleb and you can see Matthew stunned at how this is taking a totally new direction.



At first, it seemed another stupid Lynette plot but it turned out to have real consequences as Lynette inadvertedly puts Tom\'s job in jeopardy which may end up putting quite the blow in the marriage.



The Susan/Edie bit was fun, especially the brawl at the diner. Edie\'s hiring of a PI promises quite a lot of drama yet to come when she finds out the truth.



The plot of Bree and her sponser was intriguing, especially how Bree sets up his own sponser for a fall. Which just goes to show that Danielle is a chip off the old block.



And then the Gabrielle plot which seemed hilarious with the dead-brained father but turned deadly serious at the end. Kudos to Eva for her great meltdown as Gabby lost her child once more, only now far more deveastating.



So we wind down the season with plenty of dramatic turns and setups for what promises to be a blow-up of a finale.

This was my favorite episodes for a bunch of reasons! First, the way that Gabriel made us laugh even at the very beginning of the show with the baby and then throughout the show was classic. Then with the whole Bree thing, all I can say is wow!!! That was classic! I loved how seh finally gave in and is starting to accept that Andrew is gay by cooperating with his boyfrined. Then with the movies that was GREAT! I loved how she used her old ways to get her way without including the law. I just think the thing that won me over with this episode was the whole Bree thing!
