Lynette was leaning too much on Penny to take care of her baby, so she wants to hire a nanny. She can't find anyone she likes, or that Tom might not like too much, so Tom hires his mother, Allison. She turns back the clock on Woman's Lib to the 50's, and Lynette and Allison clash. They fight, and Allison leaves, but Tom brings her back. Will it all work out? Doubt it, as Allison is showing signs of the onset of Alzheimer's. We actually did see all three of the boys, Parker, Porter, and Preston. I wondered about that for a long time, because Preston just seemed to disappear. Now you see him, now you don't. The twins, Porter and Parker, were always picking on him in the first season. They were horrible bullies. Will Preston ever get his revenge? Susan is doing a soft core show, but the rude customer just wants her to flash her hooters. She pulls down the curtain and exits, stage left. This gets her fired. Also, Mike goes to the bank and finds about 9 grand missing. He confronts her while she is talking to Lynette, who covers for her saying it was a loan and she will pay it back. Now Lynette knows Susan's secret. Hope she can keep it better than Renee. Lee also asks Mike if he wants to sell the house on Wisteria Lane he is leasing to Paul, at above market value. Mike says they want to keep the house and as soon as the lease runs out they'll be back. Maxine, who has fired Susan, says that there is one client who keeps asking for her, and he is willing to pay a lot. How much? Enough to get Susan back in her lingerie and in front of her web cam. When she hears his voice, she is shocked to learn that it is Paul Young. Bree is exited to be with her handyman, Keith Watson, but it gets hard to keep up. She loads him down with a ton of work, hoping to wear him out. It is fun to watch Marcia Cross in this desperate situation. She is really beautiful, and has great comic timing. Brian Austin Green is married to Megan Fox, and he is quite a bit older than her, I would imagine. Wonder if his real life is a topsy turvy version of his TV life? He has a lot of tattoos. He was paired with Tori Spelling on 90210. Keith is also stuggling to keep up with Bree, intellectually. He is trying to make up for this lack in other areas. OK, then. Chillax. They are both trying too hard to keep up. But if all is well for Bree on Wisteria Lane, then how can she be a Desperate Housewife? The title of the show isn't Satisfied Housewives. I think perhaps Keith's Ex should come back, or something else to stir things up. What if Keith's Ex is played by Megan Fox? Talk about stunt casting!
Gabrielle and Renee Perry would seem to be perfect for each other, two divas in a pod--but there's the rub. Wisteria Lane is not big enough for two divas! They are bound to clash. They are starting to bond over champagne as they discuss the burden of being beautiful, and celebrate Renee's divorce settlement. Renee wants to tell a secret, but she needs some collateral from Gabby. She tells her that she hasn't had any work done, except for one little nose job. Renee tells her that she screwed the divorce lawyer, and that allowed her to raise the settlement to 8 million, in spite of the prenuptial agreement. Later on Renee comes over and is showing off her bling to the gals. Doug has come back and wants her back. Gabby is less than enthusiastic, so Renee blurts out her secret. Very stupid, as that was her collateral. Can you spell collateral damage? All the desperate housewives meet at the night club for Emma Graham's cabaret show. I must have missed something, because where did this character come from all of a sudden? Dave Koz is in her band. That is a big deal, so you think that they would let her at least do a song, but it is interupted by the screaming divas, as Gabby tells Doug that Renee screwed his lawyer. Gabby's nose gets broken. After all that work.
We didn't see much of Carlos or Juanita, or their biological daughter, Grace, but they are saving that story arc for the Haloween ep. Trick or Treat!
