Desperate Housewives

Boy, where do I begin. First off, their is only one story that matters in this, Edie and Brees' story. Lynettes' story continues the stupid Kayla thing, something that could have been fixed if she just took the little **** to therapy sooner. As for Susan and Gabbys' stories, I don't honestly remember them (they were very dull). Bree decides to ruin Edies' buisness because Edie kissed Orson (Bree and Orson are sperated, and she repeatedly says she doesn't care about him. So the way to show you don't car about him is to act jealous and ****y?). Edie though finds out that Benjamin is her nephew and Brees' grandson, and uses this to her advantege. She blackmails Bree into leaving her buisness alone, and bringing her mini-muffins (gasp!).



Okay, what's the problem with this? Bree brought this upon her self. She covered up a pregnancy, she kicked Orson out, and she tried to ruin Edie. Marc Cheery expected people to feel sorry for Bree, but the opposite happened. Bree comes off as ****y and vengful, while Edie did what ever it took to save her buisness. Bree had no right to try to ruin her, no right at all.



Finaly, that little scene where they all turn their backs on Edie. That was the cherry on the **** sunday. They are willing to throw Edie out of the group because of the blackmail? Really? Have they forgotten some of the things they have done? Commited insurance fraud and burned a house down (Susan), covered up a hit and run (Bree), got addicted to childrens ADD medication (Lynette), left her husband to die in the ocean (Gabby). Not to mention the countless other things they have done. They come off as a bunch of hypocrites! Well, at least Edie is returning, I hope she tells the little ****es off.

Adele Delfino, Susan's mother-in-law, arrives for a visit. Carlos and Gabrielle find out their tenant, Ellie, has a dark secret. Lynette has more problems with Kayla. A full scale war erupts between Bree and Edie. Adele was just ANNOYING! I loved the stunt Susan pulled at the restaurant, though. Susan finally has the baby! YAY! Right on Mothers Day! =] I liked when Gabrielle found the bricks of cocaine under Ellie's bed. The thing with the tattoo in the beginning rocked. Lynette HIT Kayla! I can't blame her... If she was my daughter, that girl would have went DOWN! I loved the Bree/Edie scenes though. Edie blackmails Bree, and then Bree is left to confess the truth about what she did for Danielle. The women isolate Edie, and she leaves Wisteria Lane. :( Great episode!

This is a great episode. Nicollette Sheridan is a marvellous actress and deserves an oscar for her performance (an Emmie? No way!)

There are some evil and nasty moments in this episode: Evil Kayla and Lynette hitting her is shocking; Bree slapping Edie was nasty; Mike's Mother and her comments about Susan were upsetting! But then the wives ganging up on Edie and telling her 'its over' was heartbreaking, though i am pleased Sheridan is back in Season Five...

Funny moments - Susan faking her labour; Gabby's torture of blind Carlos and the ending where Susan had her baby is a beautiful moment...

lovely episode.

i hate to see eddie go she was good to watch in the show. i hope they bring her back because the show wont be the same without her troubles. eddie was hilarious in this episode her fight with bree was good to watch.

kayla kayla is evil and wicked i think it will be a relieve for everyone in the show and out of the show if she leaves. i dont like her but i know lynett is a strong woman and will find a way some how to either tame her or get rid of her kayla doesnt desrve that family she deserves someone like her mother i hope her father will come to agree.

susan was doing her thing so well with mikes mother they were fun to watch.

gabby and carlos did the right thing and am proud of them. cant wait to see the finale

I loved this storyline between Bree and Edie althought I think Edie had better chemistry with Susan. I loved part when Gaby, Lynette, Susan and Bree went to Edie and gave her really "cold shower". Story with Adele Delfine (yes, Mike´s mother or should I say momma?) was stunning. The chemistry between her and Susan was as great as her southern accent. Lynette slapped Kayla and this was a huge mistake. Now Lynette looks in Tom´s eyes like she prefer her own children, not her stepdaughter. And Gaby & Carlos found out they have a drug dealer tenant in their house. It is nice to see that Wisteria Lane celebrates Mother´s Day.

A lot of what happened in this episode made me laugh and smile, but overall it really wasn't a great episode. It was good in some parts and it had the usual charm Desperate Housewives provided, but the whole Susan thing may have just been filler. Gabby's story is still pretty average, I'm waiting for it to develop because it is looking interesting, but then again there is a big chance it will end up to be filler as well. Bree took a leap of faith and all the other Wisteria Lane girls decided to take it with her and I have to admit, I enjoyed seeing that scene. Lynette is having troubles at home, and I just hate it when I know how to stop and evil person on a show, but Lynette just can't here me.

Bree (re Edie's blackmailing): "What am I going to do?"

Lynette: "No, what are we going to do?"



There's comes a time in every friendship where you learn the extent of how loyal your friends can be and what they are prepared to do in order to prove their loyalty. By that I don't mean anything extreme or illegal.



Bree then should be relieved to discover that she has the most friends a person could ever want. Not only are they loyal but they'll even go as far as to ex-communicate a neighbour in order to prove their loyalty. The neighbour in question however is Edie.



Had the circumstances been somewhat different, there would be something rather noble in all the women taking a unified stance and freezing Edie. However their decision to do this is misguided at best and utterly cruel at worst. After all, not many of these women can honestly say that they aren't as bad as Edie.



The one thing that can occasionally bug me about Marc Cherry is that the extent of his love for Bree often sees him portray her as a victim even when she's the instigator in a certain plot. I mean he tried to normalise the fact that she faked a pregnancy, when the reality was that her actions were selfish.



Here he sets up a feud where Edie gets miscast solely as the villain of the piece. This has been something else about the fourth season I've loathed – making Edie the bad guy in a way that goes too far. Both Gabrielle and Carlos mistreated Edie during that dull quadrangle from hell and they were treated like victims.



Similarly Bree is placed into the role of victim. While she might have had a right to be annoyed with Edie and Orson's drunken snog in the last episode, Bree takes her anger a little too far. For instance she behaves spitefully towards Orson by denying him access to Benjamin. I mean it was fine for the past few months for Orson to pretend to be the boy's biological father but now Bree is scared that Benjamin might become a sociopath if Orson's in his life. That's rich considering that she played her part in Andrew's former reign of terror.



However it's with Edie that Bree seriously oversteps the mark. Confronting her in the street and slapping her is bad enough. Bree didn't give Edie a chance to explain herself and as soon as the woman tried to defend herself, Bree hit her. If I were Edie, I think I would've decked her. I wish Edie had decked her to be fair.



If that wasn't bad enough, Bree thought a bit of sabotage would be an added bonus. As Edie tried to sell a house, Bree badmouthed her to a buyer's wife and it was enough to ruin Edie's sale. Bree doesn't have to accept Edie's apologies or explanations but she has no right to try and ruin her livelihood.



The last time I checked it wasn't Edie who ruined Bree's marriage – Bree perfectly managed to do that all by herself with her own hypocrisy and double standards. Why should Bree be allowed to go around ruining another person's life and then act like it's her right to do so?



Fortunately this episode does see Bree taken down a notch. While Orson was stupid enough to write down that Bree faked her pregnancy, Edie was smart enough to use this bit of information to her own advantage. For once I actually enjoyed watching Bree's smugness crushed as Edie gloated about knowing Benjamin's real parentage.



The part that also makes me laugh is that in terms of revenge tactics, Edie really didn't do that much damage. All she demanded was friendship and a few muffins. Granted she made those demands in quite a vicious tone and also took pleasure in threatening Bree but Bree's behaviour has been so terrible recently, I can't muster any sympathy for her.



Even when she's forced to tell Susan, Lynette and Gabrielle about her faking the pregnancy, it's still hard to feel for her. She didn't do that to absolve her conscience and contrary to what Lynette might like to think, she also didn't cook up the fake pregnancy to protect Danielle either. Taking all of that into account, this is why I think the women deciding to freeze Edie was extreme. Sure Edie has behaved horribly this season but so has Bree, Gabrielle and Katherine and none of them are being punished for their vile actions. I actually felt bad for Edie because at the end of the day, this was a step too far.



Nicolette Sheridan has really been given the rough end of the deal this season and the way Edie leaves town is both sad and anticlimactic to boot. Whether or not she'll be back next season remains to be seen but if Edie does resurface then these ladies (Bree especially) need to stop acting like vindictive **** and give her a second chance. God knows none of them are perfect.



However while Edie is one person that I wish hadn't left town, there are two people who think should leave Wisteria Lane or failing that at least Lynette and those people are Tom and Kayla. Let's just say that Lynette would be much better off without either one of these two in her life right now.



Kayla is continuing to act like the monstrous little antichrist that re-emerged in the previous episode. When a shrink helps out with the family, both her and Tom are successful in making the shrink think that it's Lynette who is the cause of the problems. If Edie's vilification was a pain in the neck, then Lynette constantly being blamed for everything by her family is another source of great frustration. If you didn't have Tom's insensitive "cancer **** or the residual angst over Rick, then Kayla's behaviour is another thing that Lynette has seemingly caused.



Worse still is that Lynette then has to spend quality time with the evil girl and while Kayla takes great delight in testing Lynette's patience, the real straw from the camel's back is broken when Kayla threatens Penny and Lynette hits her.

Now see one thing that genuinely pisses me off is that there are people out there who can't tell the difference between corporal punishment and child abuse. Lynette is a lot of things but a child abuser is most definitely not one of them. I'm not saying that she should've hit Kayla but if there was a valid reason, then Kayla's aggression towards her siblings would be it.



Kayla openly bragged about getting Porter to hurt himself and then threatened to do something to Penny all because Lynette wouldn't get her a corndog. I would've hit Kayla for that too. As for Tom –he wasn't there and Kayla threatened Penny so he seriously needs to shut the hell up and stop demonising Lynette.



Besides Kayla's a crafty little **** and she was already quick enough to phone Joshua and pretend that Lynette has hit her in the past. That woman seriously can't catch a break and with an increasingly unsupportive husband, it's high time that both Tom and Kayla were people out of Lynette's life right now.



Gabrielle on the other hand has a lot less problems. Well as a full time abuser to Carlos she rarely has to deal with any fallout so it's a bit of letdown to her when she discovers that Ellie is more of a drug dealer than tattoo artist. Ellie really should've found a better place to hide her stash than under the bed.



Telling Carlos about what their lodger really gets up means involving the police who want them to spy on Ellie. One of my biggest fears was that Ellie was originally going to be another affair or surrogacy but kudos to the writers for actually thinking of something a bit more clever.



Justine Bateman is really good as Ellie and I actually like the effect Ellie has on Gabby and Carlos as a couple. Because of her, Gabby is less aggressive towards Carlos and Carlos also gets to get out of the house. Plus the writers give off the strong impression that despite being something of a Nancy Botwin, Ellie actually cares about Gabrielle and views her as a friend.



What originally came across as a filler plot has actually developed into something rather surprising? It would be really nice in the last two episodes of the season if Ellie isn't vilified because she's able to make Gabrielle a more tolerable person and not many people are capable of doing that.



Similarly it also seems that there aren't many mothers of main characters that really work. Mike's mum Adele is another in a long line of irritating busy body types and spends pretty much all of the episode getting on Susan's last nerve by trying to turn her into a domestic goddess.



Naturally she fails and it's fun to see that even Mike is a big wimp when his mum is in town. Susan attempting to fake her waters breaking to get away from Adele was amusing and then it happened for real. Susan giving birth was probably the only thing in the episode that felt low key.



Katherine on the other hand continues to be both afraid of Wayne and anxious to goad him at every given opportunity. When she jests about Dylan not being his kid, he gets a DNA sample and it's true – Dylan really isn't his kid.



This confirms the ongoing Dylan isn't the same girl theory and while his responses are enough to scare Dylan back to her mother, I couldn't have been the only thinking that Katherine was amazingly stupid in letting slip her little secret to Wayne. Surely the whole point was to take away the upper hand rather than give it to him.



Also in "Mother Said"



It was to see Edie and Bree's street argument from the different perspectives of a blind Carlos, partly deaf Karen and naïve Parker.



Julie: "You mean civil war?"

Adele: "I mean what I mean".



With the exceptions of Katherine and Tom, I think we've met every main characters mother in the last four years.



Gabrielle: "You know I've been hitting you a lot less lately and I'm not getting enough credit for it".

Carlos: "I know I'm a bad person".



Lynette (to Joshua, re Kayla): "Sure I'm very good with her".

Tom: "That wasn't his question".



I'm no shrink myself but apparently Kayla is a bit too old for the attachment parenting technique that Joshua wanted Lynette to try out.



Lynette (to Joshua): "Ask me how much I love Tom right now. Go ahead, I dare you".



Wayne: "Now Kathy, you wouldn't be rude to a man that still has feelings for you".

Katherine: "Does that mean you still love me?"



When Katherine was listing the men she was with, I'm surprised she didn't drop Tim's name in.



Edie: "I'm Benjamin's grandaunt, a term I don't love but it's better than grandma, which is what you are".

Bree: "How did you know?"



Edie: "Guys I know I crossed a line this time and I'm sorry".

Lynette: "Did you hear something?"

Bree: "No".



Edie ended going to her son Travers, which was nice. She was also trying to sell Mary Alice's house yet again.



Mike: "You know this is nice".

Susan (re Adele): "Nice? She's driving me crazy".



Kayla: "Just give me what I want or else you won't like what I'll do next".

Lynette: "Are you threatening me?"



No Andrew, Danielle, Adam, Bob or Lee in this episode.



Mike: "Susan are you going into labour?"

Susan: "Maybe. Later. Go at it!"



Chronology: May 11th 2008, the same day that ABC aired the episode as well.



"Mother Said" is easily one of the best episodes from this season but it's also one of the most misguided in the handling of the Bree and Edie debacle. Overall there's only two episodes left and I'm stoked to see what'll happen next.

to be honest edie was the only reason i watched the show. i know she was a **** but she was funny, good-looking, and great in the show. she may not be gone for good, but if she is i don't think they gave her the goddbye she deserved. she should have goteen one last great performance that she was robbed of, and i hope she comes back. lynette should just keep her mouth shut around kayla, maybe then she wouldn't be such a spawn of saitn. i really hate bree, she should get over herself. i mean she did slap edie, and ruin all of her buisness, witch i think was her taking all her anger from orsan out on her. she had no write to turn averyone againts her. i really don't care about gabby, but kathrine just got interesting and i can't waite to find out her skelitons.

Its mother's day on Wisteria Lane and Mike's mother comes for a visit. She gives Susan a cook book filled with family recipes and she offers to help make some with making them. When Lynette's kids get home from school, a counsellor is there to greet them. As Lynette is explaining to him that Kayla is an evil child, she comes down stairs acting all nice and calling Lynette Mammy. She also brings her a card and hugs her. Dylan discovers that her mother wants to move to Baltimore. Dylan tells her that she can move but he is staying with her father. Susan's visitor (mama as she lies to be called) doesn't seem to like Susan all that much, by telling her things like she needs to get a proper job. Tom and Lynette go to see the counsellor by themselves and Lynette is asked if she loves Kayla and doesn't know how to answer and it is suggested that Lynette and Kayla be together a much as possible to improve their relationship. Orson has an agreement with Bree when he says that he wants to take Benjamin out for the day. So she informs him that she has hired a lawyer. Gabby has to go into her tenant's room to switch off the fire alarm and discovers her drugs under the bed. Katherine tells her ex that Dylan isn't his. He takes Dylan's chewing gum out of the bin. Edie goes to Orson's hotel room to see him and he is in the shower and she finds his notes on everything that has happened with baby Benjamin. When Gabby goes to the police they discover that one of her customers is a police man. They tell them to act as though they know nothing otherwise Carlos will end up back in prison.



Edie goes round to see Bree, and tells her that she knows everything. Edie blackmails Bree. Bree goes round Lynette's for a game of cards and tells the girls about Benjamin. Dylan's dad does a DNA test, and it shows that they are not related. All 4 of the girls walk over to Edie's they tell her that their all done with her. They all walk off and Edie is left alone and looks upset. Dylan's dad watches footage of her from when she was younger and we can see that she has a scar on her arm. Kayla and Lynette go shopping and she works out that the counsellor made Lynette take her shopping. When Susan Mike and his mother go out for lunch, she goes into labour. This all happens when his mother offer to stay for a couple of weeks until the baby is born. Susan is faking labour to get rid of her mother in law. Mike isn't pleased about the situation, but understands it. Kayla tells Lynette, to give her what she wants other wise she'll in trouble she says guess what I can get Penny to do. So Lynette slaps her and everyone in the store looks at them. Kayla looks in shock. When Mike is telling off his mother about Susan she goes into labour, for real this time. The next day Tom is still annoyed at what Lynette for what she did to Kayla. So Kayla phones the counsellor and tells him what is "going on". Dylan goes to her dad's and holds her arm and looks for her scar which is not there. He tells her she has to go. He shouts she leaves. Edie leaves to go and visit her son. Is the end of Edie as we know it? At the end we see Susan hugging her baby boy.

This episode just seemed like a filler to get to the season finale. Nothing really happened. Susan was not as annoying as usual, thankfully, but Mike's mother was. Bree being revengeful was out of character, but luckily her acting is strong enough to play the role. Orson continues to be great as well, and hopefully he will get back with Bree soon. Edie was also pretty funny in this episode as well.



While the show is still one of the strongest dramedies on television, but after four years the show seems to be getting desperate, pun intended, for storylines. Let's hope the finale delivers.

Another great episode. Kayla is so evil, I feel really sorry for Lynette, having to deal with her. And tom, open your eyes, your daughter is evil. I'm so glad Lynette slapped her, it was a really well done scene. The ending summed Kayla up, saying that Lynette always abuses her, should be interesting.



Gabby and Carlos finding out about Ellie was good. Was nnice to see Gabby show that she cared about someone, the tears at the end. Susan and mike's mother was really funny, the fake birth and club soda thing was hilarious. Can't wait to see the new baby.



Bree and Edie was funny, then when Edie found out about the baby and blackmailed Bree, it was a good scene. I did really like that bree then came clean and they all told Edie that they were done.



Wasn't surprised about the dylan twist. Can't wait for finale.

Let me just start out by saying that I absolutely loved this episode of Desperate Housewives. Desperate Housewives has definitely been on a roll ever since the show returned from the writers strike. Once again I loved all of housewives' storylines in this episode. While I loved all of the storylines in this episode, I would definitely have to say that Bree's, Susan's and Lynette's storylines were my favorite. Gabrielle's storyline was great too. It was very well written, and it included some really great lines. I thought that Katherine's storyline was very revealing in this episode, and I can't wait to see how the mystery with Katherine all turns out in the season finale. I was very shocked by Edie's behavior in this episode. That really was a whole new low for her. I loved Mike's mother, Adele. I thought that she was really funny. All in all, I thought that this was a very well written, well acted, well made episode. This really was an amazing episode of Desperate Housewives, and I can't wait for the season finale.

Awwww.... so excited for Susan and Mike!!!! The baby was so cute, and Susan's scene at the end with the baby was very cute.... Mike's mom was funny and Susan faking labor was hilarious. She was right though, Mike's mom was being a jerk and Mike needed to defend Susan.



Kayla is the devil encarnate!!! Sheesh, that little girl is nothing but trouble. Tom needs to wake up and see what's going on, cause she can destroy their family. Lynette can be a little more patient but Kayla needs some major therapy and control.



Bree declaring war over Edie was definetely the right thing to do. Edie has been a major home wrecker for a long time and needs to be put in her place. I am glad the girls are backing Bree up on this one. But it's very sad to see Edie leave. She will be greatly missed. I hope we get to see her at the finale next sunday. Desperate Housewives won't be the same without her. I wonder why she is leaving.



I knew Dylan wasn't the same Dylan from 14 years ago. This is the first time the secret has been so mysteriously kept and we really have no idea what happened. I can't wait for the finale and see what it really is. I'm glad Carlos made Gaby turn Ellie in. It could have cause them a lot of trouble.



Oh boy, one more episode and then we will have to go on a great hiatus without our girls. Oh, so sad!

This has to be one of the best episodes in "Desperate Housewives" history! Susan meets her mother-in-law, which is humorous, and Susan eventually goes into labor, and has a boy. Lynette smacks Kayla after Kayla threatened to do something to Penny. I would have done more than smack that little demon. Gabrielle learns Ellie's secret, and it was an interesting storyline to follow. Bree and Edie's storyline was also interesting. I can't believe Edie is gone! She has been such an interesting character, and had some good plots. But, I like the way she went out with a bang. This is definitely one of the best episodes of the season, and even of the series.

Lynette has a child with problems - You just knew that Kayla was not going to come around no matter what Lynette does. Had Kayla not hear Lynette speaking to the psychologist, maybe progress could have been made. However, Kayla continues to be her evil self and after being slapped by Lynette tells the doctor that it has happened more than once. Poor Susan - It appears that she is about to get some help from her Mother-In-Law. This only makes things worse as Mike's mom repeats any and all shortcomings that Mike has mentioned. In order to hopefully make her leave, she fakes her own water breaking so Mike and her can leave the restaurant. Bree - Anger over last week's Edie-Orson kiss resulted in a knock-down drag out in the middle of the cul-de-sac, with Bree slapping Edie in the face. And the occasional torpedoing of Edie's real-estate business. Orson and Bree had it out, and she threw a "you're not his real father" in his face. Orson's response? Call a lawyer and write down his deepest secrets on a legal pad, of course, including the info about all the parent-posing, and then leave it lying around. Good call. Edie - Stung by Bree's smacking and sabotaging, Edie paid a neighborly visit to Orson, only to come across the facts about Ben. She drops the "I'm his great aunt!" bomb on Bree, along with a well-placed "grandma." She blackmailed Bree for muffins and the occasional brunch. Faced with a lifetime of baking for her, Bree told the other housewives the truth. It's time for ... a down-the-street four-woman stomp, and the threat of an unending deep freeze. Edie peeled out of the Lane. So is Edie gone for good or what?



Dylan - So who exactly is Dylan and where did the real Dylan go? All in the family: Dylan discovered that Katherine is looking to move from the Lane, and Mom warned her away from ex-husband Wayne, who was coming to Dylan's senior recital. A real family outing! Wayne accused Katherine of kidnapping their daughter. She accused herself of having numerous affairs, saying that she tricked him into thinking that Dylan was his. DNA tests all around - and no, Dylan really wasn't his baby. Or, in fact, Dylan. Gaby and Carlos - Gaby finds out that their new border is dealing cocaine. Carlos (on probation) does the right thing and reports her to the cops. However the cops already new about it in fact had a plant buy some drugs off of her. They want Gaby and Carlos to continue along as if nothing happened. I can see this going bad.

This episode is one of the best so far. Mainly because Edie finally gets her comeuppance. Here, she threatens to tell everyone about how Bree and Orson's baby is really Danielle and Edie's nephew's. In return, Bree has to treat Edie like a best friend and basically do anything she wants. Thankfully, Bree stands up and tells her friends and Edie is finally taken off her high horse.

Gabby and Carlos discover that their new tenant is a drug dealer, but the police can't do anything about it because they're already investigating her. Can't wait to see what happens with that!

The best part of the episode is between Lynette and Kayla. I thought it was kind of weird how well she adjusted between her mom dying and moving in with Lynette's family. But now, you can see she is really evil. Lynette and Tom finally do hire a psychiatrist who tells Lynette to spend more time with her because they are not really mother and daughter. Kayla discovers Lynette "has" to take her out, so she threatens to hurt Penny if she doesn't get what she wants. Lynette slaps her involuntarily, and is accused of abuse. Personally, if someone said the same thing to me, I would probably slap him too!!

Also, Mike's mother-in-law comes to visit, with some interesting consequences.

Wow, this episode was very good and had so many storylines reach their climaxes but for some reason, it just didn't feel enough... well anyway, the episode's theme is mother's day!



Ok, so Mike's mom Adele is in town and she begins to give Susan a hard time from the get-go... there are some funny scenes especially when Susan fakes labor, also Susan ends up giving birth to her baby! The very last scene during Mary Alice's narration which shows Susan and the baby was definitely one of the episode's highlights



Ellie takes Carlos out on a walk and in the meanwhile, Gabrielle finds the cocaine under her bed and they report the police only to discover that they are working on arresting her so they have to pretend to be normal until the police can take her... in the storyline's last scene, Ellie gets Gabby a present on mother's day in a VERY emotional scene!



Lynette's storyline didn't really do much for me, but it had some nice developments... Tom & Lynette get a shrink to see Kayle but she's too smart for that and appears to be very good in front of him and so the doctor suggests Lynette takes Kayla out... while they are out shopping, Kayla provokes Lynette with her words that Lynette ends up slapping her, and for a good reason... her storyline ends with Lynette & Tom having another argument and for some reason, Tom just can't seem to see the evilness of his daughter! Also Kayle calls the shrink and tells him that Lynette always hits her!!



Katherine's storyline wasn't the episode's highlight definitely, Katherine confronted Wayne once again and told him that she has slept with so many other men during their marriage and that Dylan isn't really his and so he runs DNA tests to make sure and discovers that Katherine was telling the truth... so while Wayne is watching a video of Dylan when she was little and had a bunch of stiches on her hand, he calls Dylan and tells her to come over because he has something to tell her and when she does, he realizes that the stiches aren't there and realizes that this isn't the same Dylan and kicks her out of the house!



The highlight of the episode was definitely Bree & Edie's storyline... so Bree confronts Edie about her kiss with Orson and slaps her during the opening scene (which was absolutely brilliant and very cleverly-written) and a war erupts between the pair... Bree scares off some of Edie's clients and Edie ends up finding the truth about the fact that Benjamin is actually Danielle's baby and not Bree's! Edie confronts Bree and actually blackmails her, so what does Bree do? She confesses to her friends! Yes, finally! The housewives gather and they all walk in the street in a really terrific scene where they confront Edie and tell her that they are no longer her friends and that she is invisible to them, that scene was really great and somewhat sad! Later, Edie calls her son Travis and tells him that she's spending mothers' day with him and that she's going to be spending a lot of time with him from now



So it was a really terrific episode and really excites me for the season finale, but given the season's history previous seasons have done better jobs in setting the mood for the finale... especially the first two seasons, but that's fine as this episode was exciting too

So far, Desperate Housewives has never dissapointed me. The third Season has been amazing so far and this Episode isn't a exeption. I really enjoyed all the plots and Mike's Mum was hilarious.



I really liked how they brought that thing with Benjamin actually being Danielle's son up again. I was a little dissapointed by the way they appearently ended that, so i'm glad that they are not doing it properly.



The only thing that keeps me from rating this even higher, is Kayla. She is such a mean little brat, it's unberable. Before the last few episodes, it seemed like she had settled in with the Scavo and now they start a Kayla storyline once again. That isn't exactaly bad or anything, but i think they are just going overboard. Lynette has been so nice to her and that kid just keeps behaving like a physco, manipulating even the shrink. She so deserved that slap she got from Lynette and i'm actually very much against hitting children. How can Tom be so blind when it comes to Kayla???? I just hope that they'll end that whole story soon.

Yet another winning episode which featured a whole lotta discoveries. We always knew that, at some point, the ladies of Wisteria Lane would be fed up with Edie's antics. Tonight, we got that. We also learned more about the mystery surrounding Dylan, which I won't spoil, but suffice to say, could turn quite ugly.



I loved the introduction of Mike's mother. I hope they keep her around; she was definitely a fun addition.



I'm really digging the story with Gabby, Carlos, and the drug bust. This should be a fun story to follow.



Kayla. Wow, that girl's creepy. I have a feeling that we haven't seen the worst of her just yet. And how is this going to affect Tom and Lynette?



Susan's baby--Yay! By the way, Teri Hatcher was so cute in this episode. Well, she's always cute, but even more so here.



Judging from these last few episodes, I think we're in for a doozy of a finale.

The episode was so good :) And OMG, OMG, OMG, Susan had her baby! It was so suddenly and I didn't expect that it will happen so quickly, but it really did. I guess they had to do it that way, because they had a specific storyline for the finale next week. Can't wait to see it :) And it was so great to see Bree vs. Edie! At the end I felt sorry for both of them… Edie was just trying to fight the fight Bree started. And WOW Bree told her friends about the baby. That was so amazing, I didn't think that it will happen like… ever! And I just couldn't believe when it did… And the scene when all the housewives turned against Edie was so funny and so sad at the same time… So – Edie is leaving and Bree's secret is out. Oh, I can't wait to see the finale. And Dylan is not the real Dylan? A lot of people thought that from the beginning of the season, but I never believed them. So it looks like they were right all along… God, I just can't wait to see the finale. And Lynette was great, so was Gabby. Both storylines were great, just not as shocking as the other ones. So overall – I CAN NOT WAIT TO

SEE

THE

FINALE

!

Once again, the arrival of a mother to Wisteria Lane answers questions on how their children turned out. After all the utra-honesty of his mom, no wonder Mike learned to play things a bit closer to the vest and the fun of seeing them battle was good. Of course, it had the great payoff of Susan trying to hold off labor until Mike could tell his mom off, promising a new twist to their relationship.



The stuff of Gabby and Ellie was funny of course ("I was a model in the 90's, I know cocaine") and how they were willing to let that slide just to have a great houseguest along which works out great. We also get the big push of Katherine's secret regarding her "daughter" to be revealed for good next week. And we also get Kayla finally going bad seed on all of us and how it'll rock things for sure for Lynette.



But the big one was the Bree/Edie stuff. I find it so ironic that after going to such lengths to hide Danielle's secret from everyone, Bree finds them not judgemental at all but just wanting to help her out. The showdown with Edie was something the series had been building on for so long and it paid off beautfiully as they FINALLY let Edie have it for her duplicity and cutting her off. It's a bit sad to see Edie going off but she has pushed the final line and that looks to be it. So now, we get the set-up for the finale and it looks to be a great send-off to a season that returned us to form.
