Episode Summary

EDIT

Susan causes quite a stir when she invites a former stripper (guest star Julie Benz) into her home, because former exotic dancer Robin will have a profound effect on the ladies of Wisteria Lane: with three teenage boys at home, Lynette will need to keep a watchful eye on them, Bree needs to pick up a few tricks to engage Orson, Katherine needs to find a friendly companion, and Gabrielle needs help with her troublesome niece - and Robin might just provide that help, whether she wants to or not.moreless

This weeks Desperate Housewives was actually pretty good, and it was all about a chracter we dont really know. This weeks episode resembled the 100th episode in a way it focused on a chracter we dont really know and showed us how they have affected the womens lives and just like the 100th Desperate Housewives executes it beatifully.Lynette and Brees stories were funny enjoyable and had alot of heart,however Susans and Gabrielles wernt as enjoyable but still fairly decent. But for me the best part about this episode was having Katherine back on the lane and no longer being a raving loon haha. A really nice episode of Desperate Housewivesmoreless

In this episode we get to meet Robin a lot better, I personally thought when I have seen 6x14 that she is just another bland guest star character, but now I changed my mind. I think it was great how they showed her story arcs with all of the women, there was even a little to the mystery in Gabby´s segment although Angie & Nick did not make an appearance. The highlights were Bree´s lap dance :D Tom´s one liners, Susan´s funny talk when she was listening to that Robin/Mike massage :D this is why I love her comedy timing, Gabby´s lines perfect as always, Kathy/Robin kiss and drunk talk at her house, taht was hot. And the last scene with Robin and Karen was a riot :D "These are real!" "Well, they look real." :DD ou, and 9 is the highest rate I gave to DH episode this year.moreless

The stripper meets the housewives.

I really hate Julie Benz, who plays the role of ex-stripper Robin Gallagher. Hated her on Dexter, and I hate her here. Hopefully Angie Bowen kills her at some point.

Her presence is just so off-putting as the ensemble cast of Desperate Housewives is nearly perfect right now. You've got some funny people and a few talented actors/actresses, and just a great group of people who have been together for years now. Robin is not a shakeup I support and hopefully her Wisteria Lane stay is short-lived.

What I did like was the performances by the rest of the characters tonight though. From the guys all drooling over Robin, to Bree attempting to seduce Orson to Gaby lauding her plan to break Anna and Danny up, there were a lot of good moments tonight, so I have to give this episode a high score.

Just get the stripper out of there.moreless

Stripper with a heart of gold

9.0

By laorel, May 24, 2010

Of all the episodes with 'the stripper' so far, this one was the best in my opinion. We learned more about the newest neighbour Robin :) On the surface it feels like a comedy episode, which it is mostly with Bree trying to seduce Orson, Garielle's comments, Lynette's reactions and of course Robin's chat with Mrs. McCluskey :) But the end I felt was quite heartwarming. Seeing how everyone had judged/used Robin in one way or another, she was the one with a heart of gold regardless of what her job used to be :) Also, it'll be interesting to see if Katherine's starting to develop a female crush on Robin. All in all this was a solid episode and deserves a higher rating than what it has got. If you can see past the comedy, you'll realize this episode actually has a good message about people being prejudiced :)moreless

Desperate are back.... finally :) I really miss this serial... his characters with Susan, Bree, Tom and others. What i can say this episode was trully lovely :)

In episode centre person was Robin ex-stripper leaving in Susan home. Katherine already back from psychical hospital to home. Thta episode was different than always because in him we had some part`s , everyone were with RObin and ... yes with other desperate. In my opinion that was great idea of producers , some funny, drama in this episode make him really curious. Bree again is fallen in love with Orson.

Susan was jelaous about Mike so Robin get out and rent a romm in Katherine house.

Lynette has an anniversary with Tom

Carlos and Gaby try to broke relationships beetwen Danny Bolen and them niece.

Katherine slowly back to normal life. What more interesting Katherine is fallen in love in Robin now ?? hehe :) great episode

- Robin: I dated guys for a long time and... I just never really felt a connection. And then I started stripping, and I was surrounded by all these confident, sexy women. And I realized "Robin, sweetie, you have been barking up the wrong tree".
  Katherine: Yeah... I think I got the right tree. Just sick of barking.
