Desperate Housewives

i loved this episode from desperate housewives, i loved the scene at the beginning with everyone finding out that mike had woken up everyone that is except susan, i felt so sorry for susan at the end when mike was so cold with her, the other storylines this week were also good i loved all the stuff with lynette and parker really funny storyline, the gaby and carlous stuff was also funny and that is the most diffirent thing about this season is that there is alot mmore comedy and im enjoying every minetue of it

Mike Delfino woke up and Edie was the first to visit him. The news spread quickly, but Susan was one of the last to hear about it because she was in the mountains and had no signal… she was also preoccupied was Ian in the tub…

Danielle is getting ready for her history project. Bree is thinking up an alibi for Andrew. He doesn’t care and doesn’t mind telling the truth. Orson comes up with drama camp, and Bree is already thinking up the name.

Gabby ended up not getting her spousal support and is now selling a lot of Carlos’ things. Who should stop by but Carlos. He freaks and she tells him that he didn’t offer enough for support and that she needs the money. Poor Parker is having a rough time with baseball and wants to quit, but Lynette won’t let him. She gets him to practice hitting with her in the yard, but he keeps closing his eyes and says that she is throwing it too fast. Meanwhile Susan and Ian are trying to come up with an excuse to stay up in the mountains another day. He tells her that he might love her and then he realized what he said and tries to play it down. Susan smiles at him, tells him to be quiet that he is drowning out the bells, and she kisses him. Edie is feeding Mike, but he just wants to go home and unpack. He has memory loss and thinks that it is 2004 (lucky Orson). Edie is itching to fill in the blanks of his memory (to her liking, of course). The baseball game isn’t going very well, so Lynette bribes the pitcher and winds up getting both her son and the pitcher banned for the rest of the season. Bree is on the history project with the family. She meets Danielle’s history teacher, Mr. Falati. He says that she is his “favorite” student. He asks where Andrew has been and Bree is quick to say drama camp. Meanwhile Andrew, looking at a project, sees a guy and asks him if he remembers who he is. At first he doesn’t, but when Andrew tells him that he gave him a ride in his black Sedan once, he freaks and quickly runs. Orson comes over and questions why Dr. Keck ran away, and Andrew tells Orson that he preformed once. Orson is totally … speechless. Later Bree asks Orson what he and Andrew were talking about. After a few hints, Bree finally gets it and goes completely nuts. Some of the housewives are at Gabby’s house and Bree asks if she should tell Dr. Keck’s wife. Lynette says, tell her. Gabby warns her that the wife will always resent the person who tells her that. While they are talking, Carlos comes in wearing only his under things. Gabby freaks and asks him what he is doing. He tells her that his clothes were taken out of the dryer too soon, and she says that was because he peed in her shampoo. He then told her that he would never do something like that; he would pee in her mouthwash or coffee. Lynette, Gabby, and Bree all look at their coffee and put them down without taking a sip. Susan and Ian are in bed making plans t go to Paris when she finally learns that Mike is out of his coma. Susan quickly jumps up and wants to hurry back to Fairview. Back at the hospital, Edie is showing Mike some pictures when he asks who Susan is. Edie tells him that Susan was awful to him but not to worry because she is up in the mountains with a new man. Orson came to visit and learns of Mike’s memory loss. He seems pleased. Carlos can’t get into the house and Gabby tells him that she had the locks changed. He throws a chair into the window, and Gabby calls the cops and says there is someone trying to break in. Gabby tells them that she and Carlos are going through a rough divorce and she punches the cops softly. They book her for assault. Bree goes to see Dr. Beck’s wife and tells her about her husband. Vera is mad that Bree told her some she lets slip about Danielle sleeping with her history teacher. Carlos got Gabby out of jail and tells her that he still loves her. But she says that she doesn’t love him, and he leaves her on the side if the road in the middle of nowhere. Bree is trying to get Danielle to break it off with her teacher, but she says they love each other and storms out of the house. Susan visits Mike in the hospital, but he tells her to leave because he is tired. She is shocked but says that she will come back tomorrow. He tells her not to bother and she leaves really broken. Right after that Edie comes in.



Here are some quotes that made me laugh… (Susan is in bed with Ian when Julie calls to tell her Mike woke from his coma.)

Susan: Oh my God...

(She looks at Ian)

Susan: Oh my GOD!!



Bree: I'm not telling who it is. I'm just asking the question. If you know a husband has been unfaithful, do you tell the wife?

Lynette: Absolutely! If he's been cheating, he could bring home a disease.

Bree: Okay, that's what I was thinking. I mean, that's how Bunny Connors got chlamydia.

Gabrielle: She told me she got it from wearing someone else's bathing suit.

Lynette: No, that's how she got crabs.

Gabrielle: With Bunny, it's always something. If it's not the clap, it's a botched face-lift.



Orson: When Andrew was on the street, he...uh...he didn't just beg for money. At times he...well, he did things to earn it.

Bree: Well, good. I mean, I'd hate to think he had no work ethic at all.

Orson: What I mean is, men hired him...uh...to do things...things he wasn't very proud of.

Bree: Yard work?

Orson: 'Fraid not.

Bree: Orson, you're scaring me. Did he do something awful?

Orson: No, no. Not awful. People do it all the time. I do it with you. I just don't pay you for it.

Bree: (her jaw drops and she gasps)

Orson: I think someone could use some cocoa.



Gabrielle: (to Carlos) You peed in my shampoo. Admit it! The cap was lose and I know how your sick mind works!

Carlos: (to Gabrielle) Oh really well in that case you should know that I wouldn't do it to your shampoo I'd do it to your mouthwash, soup and de-caffinated coffee!

Gabrielle: (to the girls) To answer your question, no we are not getting back together.

They all pick up the coffee, stare at each other, and put the coffee down.

Not that this busily plotted show was ever short on action, but as season three bounces along there’s certainly a bit more pep in it’s step. The darkly comic soap about the ladies of Wisteria Lane has always rocketed through its plots at dizzying speed. Storylines that in comparable series might play out over weeks, or months, are typically activated and resolved within a couple of episodes or even one, but now it’s even darker and funnier. There is a keener emphasis on the not-always-attractive characteristics of the housewives, something that’s used to better comic and sometime shock effect. Newlywed Bree Hodge, nee Van De Kamp is prissier and more naïve than ever. Her unswerving commitment to keeping up appearances despite bizarre romances and vengeful children has been beautifully undercut by the ticking bomb of a revelation that she’s probably hooked up with a murderer. Again! Her discovery of the orgasm was pure, mischievous genius. The aggressively ambitious and sometimes vindictive streak in devoted wife and mum Lynette Scavo has been further highlighted and is boldly in evidence as she deals with her son’s baseball-related difficulties. She’s not a woman to be trifled with and payback for Lynette means doing anything in her power to vanquish a foe. She can also be quite creative in her campaigns. Most delicious of all though is the relish of the mercenary, self-serving soon-to-be-divorced Gabrielle. Her pitched battles with Carlos are a hoot, largely as she’s more than met her match and this duplicitous pair are actually still made for each other. Daffy Susan, the Queen of Bad Timing continues to bumble along, albeit with a suave new suitor. Meanwhile pouty bombshell Edie Britt plots, schemes and seeks revenge in the best tv tradition. Admirably, all of this is accomplished whilst keeping the ladies fundamentally likeable. You keep cheering rapacious Gabby, feeling sorry for poor uptight Bree and wanting to give silly Susan a shake, it’s such fun.

Gabby is still at it with Carlos ! First she sells all his belongings at a garage sale, then he tells her as part of the settlement he can come back home! So of course she changes the locks, he smashes the window, then she calls the cops on him, but the cops agree with Carlos, and Gabby flirts with them and they think she's assulting them, and they arrest her ! Aww Andrews back! But of course she doesn't want everyone to know where he has really been, so Orson suggests to say he has been at drama camp! Meanwhile Danielle's back, it's her science fair, I so predicted she is sleeping with the science teacher!, Andrew met a guy there who he erm was with lol, and Bree found out! ( from Orson ). So Bree told his wife but she already knew, snitch!, so the wife told her about Danielle and the teacher! Orson also found out that Mike is awake! ( he was the one who ran him over! ).. he went to the hospital but the doctor said he has amnesia!..



Susan is still with the British guy Ian!, until she get's a call from Julie that Mike is awake! So she rushes back to the hospital, but Mike doesn't want to see her anymore !!



Edie's funny, and smart. The first to know about Mike's amnesia, of course she uses the situation to the best of her advantage! Saying that Susan doesn't Love him, and she's a stalker lol, no wonder he doesn't want to see Susie Q! How funny when she was showing a photo album, but all of her like in her swimsuit hehe, guess she still wants him! Lynette's son son Parker wants to quit the baseball team, but she won't let him. So she bribes the other teams thrower to go slower. Parker hits the ball, but it hits the boy! And he tells his coach it was her that bribed him !

I still love watching Desperate Housewives every week because they know what they are doing and its so interesting and you can't wait until next episode(which I can't). They would so suck to not remember the last two years of your life! That was so funny when Gabrielle calls the police and they arrest her unstead of Carlos. I just live Gabrielle! She is so funny. She was only in jail in hour and still is upset about it, I would do because you have to sit and do nothing with all these dump people around. Susan just couldn't believe what Mike said. Edie better watch out next episode.

The episode started nicely, with Edie and Mike. It had promising storylines to fill, but the way things went weren't that great. I mean, it is obvious that Edie tried to sabotage Susan and Mike's relationship, and that Susan has to choose between Mike and Ian, but it just wasn't that good. Lynette's storyline was great. Like they always are. She and Tom really give the series some enlightment, something it really needs since Gabrielle and Bree make sure theirs enough drama. I really hated Gaby when she tried to hurt Carlos by telling about John, but Bree was amazing in this episode. Especially when her and Danielle where fighting but Andrew was nice to her. She really is a good mother, and she deserves good children.

Mike: “You said I dated Susan for a long time, do you think I was in love with her?”

Edie: “I don’t, I really don’t”.



The end of “A Weekend In The Country” had Mike awoke from his coma and looking at his new surroundings but this week, someone is given quite the history lesson and for Mike, it’s not a completely accurate one at that rate either.



The man may have been in a coma for six months but his mind frame is still routed in 2004 and so far this works the benefit of two people while royally shafting the one person who was most eager for him to wake up.



First on the advantage list is Orson who for the time doesn’t have to fear calling over for attempted murder but even Orson shows some caution when after learning from Bree that Mike is awake by not actually letting Mike when he visits the amnesiac in hospital because hey, the last thing Orson would want to do is trigger those pesky memories of Mike’s especially if they shaft him in the end.



The person however who has the biggest advantage of the two is Edie, whose downright obvious lust for Mike since the “Pilot” looks like it might just reciprocated as while Edie doesn’t flat out lie to Mike about certain things (she’s quick to inform that Rex has been dead for a year and a half), her version of the truth is a little sketchy at best though.



Worse still but probably because Mike is in a vulnerable enough position, he doesn’t for one second question Edie or her motives and is quick to believe that the two of them are actually an item. In Edie’s defence, I always wondered why Mike never took an interest in her. Personally I wouldn’t find her attractive but aside from her vendetta on Susan, Edie isn’t exactly the worst person in existence and has at times been more sympathetic than Marc Cherry thought she would be.



However, her hatred towards though slightly justified, doesn’t excuse her on how she addresses Mike’s real girlfriend to the confused plumber and sadly, Edie mostly paints Susan out as a bit of a slut and a serial stalker. Mainly Edie exaggerates a bit. Susan’s hardly a vestal virgin but her erratic behaviour can be a pain at times as most viewers can attest.



It also doesn’t help Susan’s case that when Mike woke up from his coma; she was in the mountains with Ian and getting past the shy phase of their relationship. In fact that’s where Susan still as the writers attempt to deepen the now quadrangle surrounding her, Mike, Ian and Edie.



Seeing Susan and Ian all loved up is slightly sweet. They may not be anywhere as interesting as Bree and Orson but in a way they do kind of work even if the writing for them can sometime feel a little bit forced. You can’t really say that about Dr Ron or Karl but of course Mike puts the obvious kaput in their relationship for the time being.



As soon as Susan finally realised that he was awake, Ian was treated more as a terminal disease rather than a possible lover and some of her comments regarding Jane as she was rushing to get back to the hospital for Mike were kind of harsh. Granted there’s probably an element of truth in them too. If Jane had woken up, you could see Ian casting Susan aside.



That being said both Ian and Susan have two things in common and they are the fact that they are both emotionally immature and also quite impulsive. Ian really shows the latter with the way he keeps telling Susan he loves her.



The thing is though, he may love Susan but she is obsessed with Mike that even if she does decide to go there with Ian, the chances are she’s probably settling for second best instead of really wanting and given that Mike’s frosty reception of Susan ends with him rejecting her, chances are her reasons for pursuing anything with Ian will be less than honourable.



Rejection is definitely a feeling being spurred on a lot in Wisteria Lane and Gabby’s one woman campaign to rein more misery on Carlos keeps going up a notch as this week she decides to get more cash out of her soon to be divorced husband than the spousal support will give by selling most of his personal belongings.



As much fun as this War Of The Roses style feud is, I’m getting somewhat tired of Gabrielle acting like a complete **** The spousal support reeks of hypocrisy and more or less says that she’s a gold digger and getting Carlos arrested as a result on him trying to enter his own house because she hates the idea of him now having to legally live with her further vilifies her.



I don’t know why Gabrielle is acting so self-righteous because her betrayal was worse than Carlos and her treatment of him in general has gotten pathetic at this rate. Even when her own arrogance gets her arrested by the cops instead of Carlos and he has the decency to bail her ass out of jail, she still spews venom and tells him about her and John’s recent one-nighter.



Proving that there’s a limit to his patience (something he doesn’t have a lot of anyway), Carlos physically removes Gabrielle and leaves her in the middle of nowhere and yet once again, I have to admit that she got what she deserved to no end. Gabby is really pushing the limits this season and not in a good way.



Elsewhere Bree learns in a rather manner that passing on sensitive information is a thankless opportunity. As much as Gabby is pissing me off this season I have to admit that she hit an obvious point when she mention that women who find out that their husbands are cheating on them have a tendency to want to shoot the messenger and in some ways, Bree got shot herself for her honesty.



At a history fair for Danielle, Orson discovers that Andrew was paid into having sex with Dr Howard Keck while he was living on the street and when confronted by Bree over his private conversation with the dysfunctional teenager, Orson breaks the news of Andrew’s “work-ethic” to his wife in a pretty witty way.



Suffice to say that Bree is scandalised by the revelation by feels it’s her obligation to tell Howard’s wife Vera, who reacts to the news in a pretty venomous manner of her own when she tells Bree that Danielle is screwing her history Mr Falotti.



So in the course of one episode, Bree is given not one but two things to be horrified and for once, she can actually be sanctimonious about her children’s sexual partners even if hers include psychos and sex addicts. I wonder how of her own family life she has really told Orson.



Danielle grinding with her history teacher isn’t a total shocker. In a lot of ways, Danielle is a more unlikeable and callous younger version of Edie and given her lack of interest in anything that doesn’t revolve around her, it almost makes sense too. Also it’s predictable that when confronted by her mother about her choice in boyfriend, Danielle would react in her usual spoilt brat routine and make a childish exit. Yeah, great control there, Bree!



However there is a plus side to Danielle’s extra curricular activities and that includes a wonderful conversation between Bree and Andrew which not only contains some pretty realistic dialogue about the nature of how children willingly defy their parents but is also the first genuine conversation these two have had since Season One’s “Move On”.



In a lot of ways, you can almost thank Orson for how Bree and Andrew seem to be able to communicate with each other. That to me proves that there isn’t total malice within this guy. Hey, I’m an Orson supporter all the way.



In the least interesting of plot however, my favourite character Lynette is given a rather dull baseball plot surrounding Parker which brings out the cons of her overly competitive nature when she forces the lad to continue with the sport despite the fact that Tom had previously allowed him to quit, he hates it and is actually quite rubbish at baseball too.



Lynette also makes the stupid blunder of trying to bribe a lad named Nicky into giving Parker an incentive to continue until she gets royally busted and both Parker and Nicky are removed from their teams. Its things like this that really makes me resent how seriously people take sport and gives me some nasty PE flashbacks. Plus the whole competitive parent/coach thing bugs the heck out of me.



It also forces Lynette and Tom to argue about the latter’s decision to pursue his dreams and the not so shy resentment that Lynette exhibits over the liberation Tom has that she can’t afford being the family’s only breadwinner and although Lynette comes with a way (along with fate playing a hand) to deal with her bribery scandal, I still think that she isn’t very thrilled with Tom’s decision. Here’s hoping he’ll come with something routed in reality but with Tom that’s not very likely.



Also in “Like It Was”



News Of The Week: Mike Delfino waking up which was seen by Edie, who told Dr Craig, who phoned his aunt Ida, who tells Lynette, who tells Tom, who emails Carlos, who phones Gabby, who phones Bree, who tells Danielle, who then phones Julie.



Carlos: “If you don’t knock it off, the gloves are coming off”

Gabrielle: “Oh honey, the gloves aren’t just off. They’re 75% off”.



How exactly is Gabby entitled to spousal support? Why doesn’t Carlos use her adultery against her or freeze some of the accounts?



Lynette (to Parker): “Again the opening the eye, I can’t stress it enough”.



Gabrielle: “Wait you can’t stay here”

Carlos: “Now that was the face was looking for”.



The things Gabby sold on Carlos was cufflinks, baby blanket and his CD’s, while things Carlos threatened to pee in were water, decaffeinated coffee and soup belonging to Gabby.



Andrew (re Dr Keck): “We met at drama camp”

Orson: “Oh my God”.



Bree (re Andrew): “Did he do something awful?”

Orson: “No, no, not awful. People do it all the time. I do it with you I just don’t pay you for it”.



Like in last week’s episode, Lynette is still at her job but so far we have only seen her as a housewife rather than a breadwinner.



Gabrielle (re police): “Get your hands off me, police brutality”.



Four episodes in and the opening credits have been in three episodes. Keep this up ABC!



Lynette: “Are you asking for a bribe?”

Coach: “Are you pretending you’re above that?”

Lynette: “I’ll get my chequebook”.



Thanks to Danielle we’ve learned about Fairview’s founder Edward Sibley. We also learned from Mary Alice that he was a womaniser, bootlegger and a horse thief.



Bree: “You’re awful”

Andrew: “I know I blame shoddy parenting”.



No Austin or Nora this week but all our regulars were present and accounted for.



Susan: “I’ll come back tomorrow”

Mike: “I’d rather if you didn’t”.



Chronology: judging by the opening scene, I would say just seconds after “A Weekend In The Country”.



An interesting take on things, “Like It Was” plays on nostalgia a bit without being too mawkish. There’s no denying that this is a set up episode but there’s tons of priceless dialogue and fine character moments that you don’t mind too much.

mike, susan, and edie-so mike woke up from his coma, and the she devil herself is there to help him remember the last 2 years he's forgotten. you know, i like Edie but she's crossing the line now. she can't possibly hate Susan that much. for one, carl was the one who lied to susan about he and edie being split up before they slept together. it's just beyond being vindictive. yes edie is manipulating and caniving, but i knew there was still kindness and caring down in there. but to fill mike's head full of lies, poor susan...so i assume her and Ian will be done...at least for the time being. unless this pushes her back into his arms. i honestly wish susan would grow some ba**s and slap edie right in the face...why is there never any slapping? lol. i mean come on, a street full of WOMEN. they don't even SWEAR for pete's sake. anyway, i hope SOMEONE other than edie shows up to help mike learn he did love susan...and i hope something happens to Orison before he does something else to mike.



Gabby-let me say LOL omg. i seriously think i'm in love with gabby. nice move with the locks and the yard sale. i really think she hurt carlos though by telling him about john. let's say she's not the only one who noticed the look of anger and hurt in his eyes outside of the car. i don't think she really wanted to hurt him either.



bree-i knew as soon as i saw danielle at the history fair that she was sleeping with her teacher. she's rediculous. bree just can't get a break. she gets one kid back to the not so straight (lol) but narrow path to richeousness, just to lose another one. what bull. for all she's been through, i'm surprised she hasn't tried to kill herself yet. it seems she and andrew are trying to work things out though. there appears to be a spark of forgiveness.



Lynette-no Nora or Kayla this episode. tom still annoys me. she seriously needs to just tell him to grow up, stop being a baby and get off his lazy a** and get a job. sure, he wants to chase his dream, WHO DOESN'T. but guess what, he decided to become a parent. dreams may come back when the kids turn 18.



zack, julie, and austin-nothing going on with them this episode...haven't heard from paul either...or ms. Huber's sister.

In this eepisode Mike wakes up from his coma with Eddie sitting right next to him (of course) and she tells him lies about Susan.Lynette bribes a kid on the team his son was playing against to help her son get a hit, then the kid gets hit with the ball. That part was funny when Lynette started to run. Also the parts with Carlos and Gabby were really great!! I hope they will one day be happy. The end scene with Bree and her soon was really touching. This episode was prety good and I can't wait for the rest of this season.

This episode is the example for :\"I can you make a very good episode with old things already seen?\"

When Mike wakes up and Eddie tells him dirty lies you can see coming the scene when Mike\'s gonna break up whith Susan.You ca n see it from the first second till the end.When you realise that you think \"Dammit this gonna be boring\" but M. Cherry makes it a big surprise you don\'t really know how and finally you got a final scene so sad and so good at the time.This episode is really good one a little dramatic a little funny(Lynette and her kids always make me laugh)a subtle mix of all the reasons that push people to watch this show.

I\'m dying to see next episode!!!

The season opener was good but not great and then the second episode with Bree’s wedding was one of the best but still had something missing.

Last week's 3rd episode a ‘weekend in the country’ was one of the worst ever episodes by desperate housewives standards and I wasn't even looking forward to this weeks episode for the first time ever. However, I still had hope that the writers and the ladies themselves would find a way and give us a classic episode and I believe I got it.



I loved this episode and this is how every episode in season 1 and 2 (that’s right and season 2) used to be, simply excellent. Could it have been better? Sure, but it was just about right and you couldn't ask for a far more entertaining show. All the housewives had equal amount of screen time and all were involved in their detailed respective storylines (except for maybe Lynette but that is why she won the Emmy, pure comical value). I love this show and if you watch this episode, you'll see exactly why I WATCH THIS SERIES.

It's BACK!

I loved all scenes together with Gaby and Carlos, I never thought so but I find them totally hilarious together and now where they aren\'t a couple anymore, I really like them together. I bet it\'s getting pretty interesting with both back in the house.



Also, Lynette\'s story wasn\'t that bad either. Actually quite funny and she and Tom had even a kinda serious fight, I always \"like\" that between those too. It brings much more \"realistic\" drama.



I even wasn\'t annoyed by Susan this episode. :O (Well, she was barely in the episode, anyway) Edie is such a **** I like her, don\'t get me wrong, but it\'s really just awful what she\'s doing. And I normally don\'t like amnesia-stories, but here I have no problem with it. Maybe because of that we don\'t see Susan/Mike back together, I really don\'t like them as a couple (or as singles. Why didn\'t Mike die? :X)



And Bree, awww, my Bree! <3 I just love her in every episode, no matter what she\'s doing. I never would have thought that at the beginning of S1. She is just amazing. Her connecting with Andrew was great, it felt good. Yay!



When Orson told her, what Andrew did on the streets...*rofl* \"The artwork?\" ......... *GASP*



It was also good to see the scene with Gaby, Bree and Lynette in Gaby\'s house. In S3 we have way more \"friends-scenes\" between the four then the whole S2, that\'s so great. :)

And finally Mike woke up...right in time for Edie's revenge to be fulfilled. I think that the whole Susan - Mike lovestory is becoming kinda boring, like those love decided by destiny that never come true because every damn thing goes wrong. I'm curious about Orson' reactions, since he discovered that Mike survived: he has amnesia, but I bet that he'll remember the incident sooner or later...Did they give an explanation for Orson running over Mike? I really don't remember if they did.

I think the war between Gaby and Carlos it's a funny sub plot, every episode they come out with some hilarious quotes: like this week's refrigerator scene in front of Lynette and Bree :D.

About Bree's sons having sex with people their mother doesn't approve and classic parent - son problems I really don't have, at this time, an idea...I'll decide in the next week if I find it interesting or not.

Overall a good episode, even if, I repeat, Susan and Mike are becoming unnerving characters.

Great Show as always, but I wish that some of the same stuff wouldn't keep coming up in the same way. For example, how many times is Edy going to cause Susan romantic trouble? Enough already, find another way to torment her!! Gabby is AMAZING and so is Carlos, I'd love for them to work it out. They have fantastic chemistry and are extremely entertaining. PLEASE keep them together!!! Bree's scene with her son was touching and as usual she handles everything with great ease. All in all, it was a really good episode and of course, I'll be tuning in next week!

What a great episode this was! It begins with a tracking through characters on cell phones to get to Susan's, whose signal is off. Of course, everyones calling to give the good news about Mike! Susan eventually gets it and becomes a little disrespectful of Ian! Orson also finds out Mike is awake! Edie starts telling Mike some nasty lies for her own benefit. Gabrielle and Carlos really begin their "War of the Roses" storyline from urine to the jailhouse to an intense moment in the car! These two play off each other so well they make it look effortless! Lynette does some more bribing (as she has in the past)for Parker's benefit and it backfires (like it has in the past). However, Tom and her get a lucky solution. Bree learns about Danielle's relationship to her history teacher and Orson carefully tells Bree about what Andrew went through while gone. Later on, the best moment of the show takes place. Bree and Andrew have a brutally honest and unbelievably touching conversation that made this episode for me! Marcia Cross and Shawn Pyfrom will again be due some Emmy recognition! Orson continues to grow and grow on you! Susan's realization that Mike doesn't remember her is also a painful scene! It's so easy to root for these two and yet Ian is growing on me also! I'm also quite satisfied that Edie is given more to do- finally! What will happen next?

I really enjoyed this episode. To finally see Bree come to terms with her family and to genuinely talk to Andrew about coming to her with his problems. It was touching to see them finally work things out. And I have to admit that I loved Orson this episode. To see his interactions with Andrew was very touching. And the way he approached Bree about the subject was hilarious. I think Orson truly cares for Bree, and the children, so I hope that his secret isn't TOO nasty, because I'd honestly like for him to stick around for a long time to come.



Gabrielle's story was entertaining, and I really enjoyed the 'pee in the shampoo' comment. Quite immature, but funny. Lynette is hilarious as always. She continually proves to be my favorite housewife week after week, though admittedly, Bree is growing on me more and more as the best housewife this season. And finally poor Susan has Edie to thank for Mike's coldness. I hope they eventually work it out. Mike and Susan are a likeable couple together.

Bree learns about the imperfections of her family, Gabby and Carlos continue to spar, Lynnette tries to teach Parker not to quit on his commitments, and Susan finds out Mike is awake. This was a fantastic episode. I especially enjoyed the scene between Vera Keck and Bree; it had such a 1950s feeling to it, while there was much more going on under the facade of American value perfection. I also like Orson; the last two episodes have shown a softer side to him in which he seems to genuinely care about Bree and her children. I thoroughly enjoyed Lynnette's storyline - it was fun, light, and progressed Tom's new job storyline along for next week. Gabby and Carlos' storyline was very entertaining and realistic, from some nasty disputes I've witnessed between bitter married couples anyway. I even really felt for Susan at the end of the episode when Mike didn't want her to come back and visit the next day (thanks to Edie's 'rewriting' of history). The theme about rewriting history was well implemented and I loved Mary Alice's ending narration about why we alter the stories of our past. The next episodes should be wonderful, as we still have to deal with Danielle and her history teacher's affair, Mike's memory loss, Orson's secret, Tom's dream, and Gabby's increasingly bitter divorce.

Mike has awoken from his coma and that he has amnesia and can't remember anything as Edie is there to help him to fill in the blanks. As Susan is out with Ian, she gets the news and doesn't take it too well of course. Bree finds her family to be anything but perfect as Carlos moves back in much to the displeasure of Gabrielle.

I am so glad that Mike is awake, but why does he have to have amnesia again; that is lame. You would think that Eddie would just move on. It does not make sense for Eddie to keep trying to take Mike. Susan has to feel like the biggest looser ever. He has only been in the comma for six months and she is already in bed with another man. I could understand if he was just a boyfriend, but he is the man she loves. Oh, and I would really like to know what is going on with Orson. What does he have against Mike? I thought it was really funny how Bree went to tell that woman that her husband was having an affair with Andrew and that woman told her that Danielle was sleeping with her schoolteacher. I know that Bree was trying to do the right thing, but it was still funny. Oh, and shame on Lynette for bribing people; she better be glad her son hurt his foot.

at the beginning mike wakes up from his coma to edie already there

too bad he doesn\'t remeber anything that happened in the last two years so edie catches him up and when susan comes up, she said some mean things about her to mike

susan is still in the country when she finds out mikes awake

she goes down there as fast as she can to mike saying he doesn\'t want her to visit him

Nice episode with plot twists and frustrations. Edie Brit has worked herself nicely back into the plotline with the her intervening with Mike who has come out of a coma with a stupid side effect which is impossible and Susan. Mike's memory loss is impossible since he supposedly lost 2 years of memory. The brain doesn't store information sequentially so the brain damage would have to be selectively random in the brain, dumb premise. Susan and her relationship with the British guy whose wife is still in a coma is now officially sad since she ran back to Mike and just threw away his love for her. The little jerk gay kid that came home revealed some of his activities and Bree decided to go ruin another family by ratting out the gay Doctor that had relations with her son. Also the idiotic story with Bree's daughter having sex with her History Teacher was predictable and overdone. Felicity Huffman paying off a kid was stupid and her shrew attitude towards her dimwit irresponsible husband is getting old. If they wanted to kill off a couple, I suggest her and her husband die in a car crash and give the kids to Eva Longoria's character. Eva Longoria and her husband's story is kinda boring but the episode was funny, quirky and good enough. Great show with a great cast and surprises once in a while.

Mike wakes up, but he is suffering from memory loss. He has lost two years of his memory. Eddie has no problems filling Mike with thoughts that Susan is no good for him, and a liar. Polite Fiction is what Bree wants to tell people with regards to the whereabouts of Andrew. Andrew would rather tell the truth, but Bree won’t hear of it. Gabby is selling off Carolos belongings, and their “war of the roses” battle is quite funny. Parker does not want to play baseball, but Lynette won’t hear of Parker quitting, even though Tom already said it was okay to do so. Lynette bribes the pitcher from the opposing team to throw the ball in a way that Parker can hit it. Parker hits it,, gains confidence, but is off the team. Lynette has to beg the coach to let him back on the team, and is bribed in return. HA!!!



Bree finds out that her daughter is having relations with her history teacher after telling a woman her husband is leading a double life. (DOH in my best Homer Simpson voice). I did not feel for Susan. I’m sorry I just could not do it. She did not feel guilty until AFTER she spent a full weekend being with the other guy, then she finds out Mike is awake, and suddenly she feels bad. The funniest scene was when Gabby accuses Carlos of peeing in the shampoo, and he tells her he did not such thing, but would pee in her coffee, and soup. HA!! While I don’t blame her for being upset with Carlos, I think she is wrong to be upset about him sleeping with the help being she to slept with the help, but I do believe she has not been in love with Carlos for a long time. That I believe. When Parker huts his ankle during another baseball game that turns out to be a great thing. Now the main question I want answered is the following. Why did Oresen want Mike dead? I’m really puzzled over that. Overall this was a GREAT episode.

Desperate Housewives never lets me down when it comes to having great episodes! This was such a good one! Carlos decides that he is moving back home with Gabrielle. He ends up getting her put in jail for a couple of hours. I thought that was really funny!

Susan is still in the country with her new man when she gets the call that Mike is awake. However, the sad news is, is that Mike has lost all memory of Susan. And Edie is filling his mind with lies about her! I definitely feel sorry for Bree. Her life just keeps getting worse. At least Andrew has decided to be nicer. I freakin love this show!!

Bree finds out that her family is everything but perfect as she finds out that her daughter Danielle is having a sexual relationship with her history teacher and finds out that Andrew gave sexual pleasures to other men for money while he was homeless. But at least Orson is a very good husband and stepfather so far and Andrew is starting to be better.



Gabrielle is fighting again with her husband as he moves back to their home and when she had the locks changed he breaks in and she calls 911 but the police arrest her. And after Carlos came to post her bail he confessed that he is still in love with her but she told him that she slept with John last weekend and he dumped on the side of the road. She deserved worse.



Lynette desperately trying to teach her Parker not to be quiter bribed one of the kids to be bad so that Parker can prove himself worthy on the baseball game.



Susan is the last to find out that Mike woke up and she spend another day with Ian and when she came to hospital she found out that Mike doesn't remember her.



Edie was the first one to find out that Mike woke up and that he doesn't remember last two years and so she lied to him and tells him that Susan treated him like dirt and trys to take Mike for herself.A long awaited revenge.



This episode was the best so far and because of this episode I love Housewives even more than before !

Words of Mary Alice Young hit my hearts again - this time is about \'history\', in some feminist perspective like Desperate Housewives, may be better called \'herstory\'.

Rewriting History in this episode includes,

- Edie: Mike\'s relationship with Susan

- Bree: Andrew\'s street life

- Mrs Craig: Dr Craig\'s gay life

- Danielle\'s homework

- Lynette: the reason of Parker\'s leaving baseball team



I want to quote the sentences again:

\" We all have our reasons for rewriting history. Sometimes we have to provide ourselves alibis. Sometimes we want to hurt someone who has hurt us. And then there are times we just want to spare ourselves embarrassment. Of course, there are some who feel that to rewrite history is just another way to lie. But what is history anyway? But a set of lies agree upon.\"



The idea of putting history with lies is REALLY \'desperate housewives\' style! :P

SAD SAD. We learned the true meaning of love. We watched Bree try and warn a woman about her husbands affair. We learned that danelle was haveing an affair with her teacher. This was a great epsode. Like i've said before desperate housewives is back for good. This epsode was also very funny, expecially when Gabby got arrested, i was estatic when that happened. I hope this show lasts forever. Its always sadd but also entertaining to watch bree doubt her parenting. Im so glad that andrew is back, he is so funny and he helps make the show. My beloved DH

There are quite a lot of sad elements in the show. First of all, Susan's absolutely idoitic behaviours ruin her chance with Mike. It is a sad affair, but I personally don't feel sympathetic towards her at all whatsoever. She totally deserves it. Edie is another sad element. It is sad and scary at the same time to know that there are actually women like that out there, evil and malicious on purpose. What else? Poor Bree, eh? She is too hard on her children and I hate how she likes to make things up to make herself look good. Gee, if I had such mother, I would wanna run away, too. Also, Gabby's a poor little thing. She did learn from her mistake after Carlos found out about John, and after that, she began to put his needs above her and agreed to be a mother. However, Carlos, who was always a horny bastard, just had to screw their Chinese maid, who was ugly as Hell. I do think Carlos deserves to be punished, although Gabby isn't a saint herself, either. Lynette is such a wonderful mother. She sacrificies her own dreams to let Tom pursuit his for the sake of the family. I really look up to her. Parker is so cute, by the way, ha!

Another week - another great episode. Clearly, the show is back on track and firing on all cylinders. The humor and dramatic unity that were missing in Season 2 are back better than ever. Eva Longoria's comedic skills are definitely a highlight this year. The Susan/Mike/Edie story looks to be interesting, and Bree's reconnection with Andrew is long overdue. I'm not so sure about the Danielle-sleeping-with-her-teacher storyline - this one seems to have come right out of left field, but in the capable hands of Marc Cherry, it will likely be fine. Overall, "Desperate Housewives" is actually fun to watch again - so far, Season 3 is terrific!

This episode althought did not show much progress regarding the season mistery, it was very big with the character development.



Gabrielle/Carlos : Very \"War of the Roses\", Carlos and Gabrielle did their best at playfully poking at each other until Gabrielle decided to poke a little deeper as she confessed something that would deeply hurt any spouse that has just confessed his love.



Lynette/ Tom : Personally I think it is very easy to relato to Lynette, she doesn\'t get to give up and follow her dreams, and she is entitled to express it, but when Tom was working to get a promotion she ruined that for him, so in my opinion Tom is in his right to find something that would make him happy.



Bree: Just when you think that Bree has more than enough when a new problem surfaces with Danielle, suddenly Andrew proves to be her support when she needs it. Very big character development



Susan: Oh Susan, if you make your bed then lie in it. I think that rounds it up.



Overall a very good episode, a little better than the previous ones even if the mistery has no big revelations.
