  • Danielle tries to commit suicide; Susan kidnaps Mike from the hospital; Austin hooks up with Julie's friend, Sarah.

    "Perfect"
    This episode was very entertaining. Bree tries to stop Danielle from sleeping with her teacher, and, as a result, Danielle ends up trying to commit suicide. She takes pills, and tries to slit her wrist... With a spoon. She is able to get her stomach pumped when she is brought to the hospital. Plus, Austin sleeps with Julie's best friend, Sarah. Then, to add to the drama, Susan kidnaps Mike from the hospital and takes him back to Wisteria Lane, in hopes of him regaining his memory. This episode is a series classic. It is another great installment and above average.
  • Susan trys to jog Mike's memory. Gabrielle and Carlos' divorce reaches new levels of bitterness. Bree breaks up Danielle and her teacher.

    Great episode and very funny! I don't think it is a bad thing that Danielle went out with someone it older. Bree is funny when she nows her family isn't perfect and when Danielle throws a plate at the wall Bree doesn't look mad and just says remind me to buy paper plates and Danielle gets so angry! The part was awesome and when Gabrielle and Carlos have a war with relationships. Susan steals Mike and brings him for a walk. HAHA. Edie was so great when she said Soon and with Mike on top when she was talking to Susan! I great come back!

    Edie (to Susan): “If you do get hurt, that’s just gravy. Alright maybe that was a little evil”.



    If you ask me, “Nice She Ain’t” is a little too modest of an episode title and almost undersells the latest instalment. In fact a much better one would’ve been something like – “Vindictive, She Most Definitely Is” as our housewives and teenage faction prove that if you cross them, you’re going to get seriously burned.



    As if getting her house torched to the ground wasn’t enough of a payback, Susan seems to have to continue to suffer for bonking Karl last season when she finally realises that the reason why Mike is behaving so distantly with her is down to Edie’s meddling and whispering a fair amount of lies in her lover’s ears.



    Of course this is after the fact that Susan keeps coming up with embarrassing ways of jogging Mike’s memory and if I never have to sit through a scene with Teri Hatcher dancing to 1970’s music, in particular “Car Wash”, I will be a mostly content viewer but like most of this season so far, it’s consistent to the character of Susan which can be a good and bad thing at times.



    Susan’s other attempt of getting Mike’s memory is subjecting him to her horrendous cooking so she brings the very thing she can burn and undercook – her Mac and Cheese to the hospital. Just one thing Susan – do you really want Mike to remember you as the woman who gave him diarrhoea even if your intentions were good? Even the nurse looked at Susan as if she was bringing in a stink bomb to the ward.



    However payback’s a further **** because not only does a new nurse tell Susan that she doesn’t recognise her because she also tells Susan that Edie is Mike’s girlfriend and suffice to say, Susan isn’t best thrilled with that bombshell. Still though nasty as Edie is, she still gets some killer lines and has security remove Susan from the hospital, so ultimately Susan needs to think harder to outdo her rival.



    Which is what Susan does the next day when she manages to get Edie distracted long enough for her and a deprogrammer to snatch Mike and take him on a further trip to memory lane. You can’t help but wonder why the programmer was needed as Mike was hardly in a position to fight and after all, the guy has amnesia, he hasn’t been brainwashed by some wacky cult.



    Like most of his scenes with Susan, Mike surprisingly doesn’t have a huge amount of patience for Susan’s nuttiness but despite her faults, she does get a bit lucky when Mike smiles fondly and remembers her penchant for being an accident prone. Then the sympathy for Susan arrives when Edie has hospital security take Mike back and both enemies have it out with each other.



    Edie made the point that she was attracted to Mike when Susan acted as if it was a sudden revelation but at the same time, Susan is right to call Edie’s actions as being evil even when the peroxide blonde tries to justify her actions.



    Edie’s actions are callous and not just because she’s overstepped the mark in her vendetta towards which if the house burning incident wasn’t too far, then what she’s doing with Mike definitely is below the belt. Which is another thing, what Edie is doing to Mike is wrong. What has he ever done to her so bad that she thinks she’s entitled to lie about his memories? Mike’s not the kind of guy who takes deception lightly and when he becomes privy to what’s really going on, Edie had better come up with a good explanation.



    While we’re on the subject of callousness, Julie proves that she takes after her father in a way when she decides to get her own back on Austin but unlike nearly everyone else in this episode, not only can you validate what Julie does, it’s also completely justified as well and further cements my liking of the girl.



    This plot is pretty simple with the rather wooden and dolt like Austin basically tricking Julie into writing his English paper by laying on a sob story about the reason why he was in juvenile detention centre and sadly Julie buys it because no matter how much she protests, she’s into Edie’s nephew.



    Although Julie’s tack then changes when she catches him screwing her friend Sarah in the back of his car and decides to email him a paper that gives him the D- instead of the A+ he was aiming for. The fact that Austin didn’t even bother to read the paper showcases his stupidity but of course he relishes the fact that for him and audiences out there, Julie’s actions confirm what she really feels for him. If the writers do a Claire/Gabe style story from the first two seasons of Six Feet Under, then this will be a hugely enjoyable teen romance but if we have Julie being a doormat for Austin, then this storyline will suck big time. Then again, I don’t get the attraction myself; Austin’s a bit too vacant for my liking.



    Keeping with the term vacant, Danielle who’s never had a reputation for intelligence, self-control or the slightly hint of depth does however show that she can be every bit as underhanded and nasty as her mother and brother have shown when her relationship with Robert is upped a few more notches.



    When Bree tries to ban her from seeing her older and soon to be divorced lover, Danielle reacts in her usual manner by throwing plates and wondering why no-one in her family bothers to take her seriously. I think the fact that she’s a perpetual moron with a lousy taste in men might have a lot to do with it but giving this series love of making the macabre inappropriately, Danielle tries to top herself in one of the most bizarre manners ever.



    While Bree is racked with guilt and once again questions her already questionable mothering skills, Andrew’s lack of concern and in general hysterical way of downplaying Danielle’s botched suicide attempt sees Orson reacting in an angry enough fashion that even Bree is stunned. Perhaps Orson lost someone he loved (Alma, Monique?) but either way suicide isn’t funny and it loses even more fun factor as Danielle is still a dimwit and in therapy manages to twist Bree’s words in a way that gets her to keep seeing Robert while putting her mother in line. This isn’t said often about Danielle but “clever girl”! God it feels wrong to refer to her in that way!



    However Danielle isn’t totally clever as Bree still manages to put the kibosh on her relationship when the OCD matriarch uses the perfect incentive for Robert to dump Danielle – Bree giving him all her stuff. Yep, that ought to kill Robert’s desire for messing with minors.



    This leaves Robert with the decision to dump Danielle who retaliates by getting him fired and screwing up his divorce proceedings and for Bree and Orson to wonder where Danielle gets her underhanded streak from. Does that even have to be dignified with an answer?



    Also in a pretty riveting turn of events and once again forming a possible connection between Mike and Orson besides the hit and run, dead lady Monique had our amnesiac plumber’s number on her hand before she was killed. You get the impression that Orson and Monique were intimate but Mike and Monique? Now, I’m really interested to see where this mystery is going.



    Getting to the maliciousness of this episode, Gabrielle Solis has hit many a low in the three years we as audience have known but this season she seems determined to outperform herself and as a direct the writers are in serious danger of killing any form of sympathy we should feel for the character and after this episode, I’ll be surprised if anyone is still on her side with the increasing feud between her and Carlos.



    Last week Gabrielle revelled in selling his prised possessions for spousal support that she really doesn’t need, deliberately changed the locks after he was legally entitled to move back into his own house and tried to get him arrested before using her liaison with John as a means of hurting after he helped her out of a tight spot and still Gabby wants to hurt him some more. Its great material for the improving Eva Longoria but damn it, Gabby, enough is enough already.



    When Carlos decides to try and make Gabby jealous by inviting home a girl named Trishelle, Gabrielle goes out of her way to ensnare business rival Phil Lopez just to make Carlos that little bit more jealous, which she does by flaunting him in front of Carlos but when she rejects Phil sexually and pretends to be bonking him by shaking the bed and screaming at the top of her lungs, Carlos is more than thrilled to see her desperately faking it as a disgruntled Phil leaves.



    Carlos unfortunately then makes the mistake of telling Gabrielle the reason she couldn’t actually sleep with Phil was because she still cared about him. If there’s one thing you shouldn’t Carlos, it’s underestimate that estranged wife of yours who delights in proving Carlos wrong when she picks up a guy named Jason and pulls the trigger and makes sure that this time, Carlos is there to witness it, which even for Gabby is beyond low.



    And of course she isn’t the only happy to stoop low to get what she wants because after a week’s absence, Nora is back and determined to use new strains on Lynette and Tom’s marriage to benefit herself in the long run. Is anyone surprised that Nora wants Tom for her and Kayla? Not really but her efforts are destined for failure anyway, so why not indulge for a bit.



    When Tom decides to open up his own pizzeria without any experience in that line of work, Lynette asks her friends for advice and Nora tells her to nip it in the bud. Nora has point – Tom’s a lovely guy but he’s a crap businessman and rejecting Lynette’s advice of starting small to establish him in a business where the statistics for failure are greatly higher than success is childishly dismissed by her immature husband.



    This leaves Nora to swoop in and tell Tom a different story where he is a great businessman and should stand up to Lynette with the hope that he will ditch her confrontational wife for her dippy self so Kayla can have a permanent daddy. Word of advice, Nora – Lynette is not a woman to make an enemy of. You’ll learn that the hard way when she and Tom figure out what you’re up to.



    Also in “Nice She Ain’t”



    Housewife of the week: This week we saw a few housewives tamper with people’s diets and enjoyment of football while Karen McClusky called the zoning department and Bree began her successful campaign to end Danielle and Robert’s relationship.



    Danielle: “When are you going to take me seriously?”

    Bree: “When you start behaving like an adult”

    Andrew: “She sleeps with them; that’s a start”.



    Bree’s friend Tish who has only ever had dialogue in “The Ladies Who Lunch” isn’t speaking to her over the fact that Bree has a policy of not buying gifts for unmarried mothers. It’s a nice bit of continuity!



    Tom (re pizza place): “I bet you didn’t see that coming”

    Lynette: “No that was a total Frisbee to the head”.



    Male Doctor (re Danielle): “She’ll be fine, the wounds are very superficial”

    Andrew: “So is the patient”.



    I wonder why Bree didn’t have family therapy with Dr Goldfine. I would’ve loved to see what he mad of her new family. Perhaps they couldn’t get the actor back.



    Edie (re Susan): “Think Fatal Attraction with a much older woman”.



    Tom’s bad businessman skills are possibly hereditary as his uncle Vito (who in unrelated to a former member of Tony Soprano’s gang) has a gambling problem. It’s also amazing that we still know very little about Lynette’s family.



    Lynette: “He hated you for that?”

    Karen: “He also thought I was sleeping with his brother so I’m sure that was mixed in there too”.



    Nora (to Lynette): “Nip it in the bud otherwise you and I will be working on poles for braces”.



    Was anyone a little freaked out that Nora calls Kayla “piglet”? I know it’s probably a term of affection but it’s not exactly a flattering one is it?



    Austin (to Julie): “Just so you know I charge $15 to make out, so we’ll break even”.



    Gabrielle: “Not now Phil, no means no”

    Carlos: “You’re blocking the stallion’s hatchback”.



    Gabby’s faking was done in an episode of Frasier and it’s also a little coincidental that this season we’ve gotten writers from that very series where actress Felicity Huffman once guest starred in.



    Susan: “I think I found a way to get through to Mike”

    Julie: “Let it go, he’s not into you”.



    Stuff Susan showed included incidents from the “Pilot”, “Pretty Little Picture” and “Come In Stranger”. Why didn’t Susan think to mention Deirdre, Kendra or Noah in her quest to get Mike’s memory back?



    Bree: “Danielle is applying to colleges; I do hope you can give her a glowing recommendation”

    Robert: “Sure”.



    No Ian this week but everyone else is present and accounted for including our Opening Credits as well.



    Susan: “How do you sleep at night?”

    Edie: “Soon with Mike on top of me”.



    Orson (re Danielle): “I must say that was rather underhanded”

    Bree: “Yes, I wonder where she gets it from”.



    Chronology: About a week since “Like It Was”.



    Bursting to the seams with pithy dialogue and displaying degrees of nastiness, “Nice She Ain’t” certainly shows the lengths that people go to either hurt others, assert power or even protect and it also benefits that every plot was equally intriguing and progress was made with this year’s mystery.
  • Good vs. Evil

    9.4
    "Superb"
    Susan, Mike and Edie-while susan's continuous failing attempts to help her love remember what they had, edie prevails to be straight out vindictive and vengeful...and as susan said "evil evil evil." as mike grows colder toward susan, i feel she's starting to lose more and more hope. no sign of Ian lately. we find out the phone number on of course a CORPSE happens to be mike's. what other situations has he been in? definately brings a little more light to why Orison appears to hate him, and why he ran him down with a car.



    Bree-after Danielle's rediculously lame attempt at "suicide", an enlightening counseling session that danielle thinks is working to her benefit backfires. bree wittingly puts an end to the statutory relationship between her daughter and teacher, but not after a vengeful danielle makes sure to sabatoge his life. andrew seems to be doing well, but after he makes continuous cracks about his sister's cry for help, Orison snaps a bit. i wonder who in his life chose to end theirs?



    Gabby-doing better at making Carlos lose hope, but i feel she is regretting it also. i don't think she really wants to hurt him, especially not enough to make him never want her back, so i think she better be careful before she does something she will seriously regret later.



    Lynette-while she tries to take Nora's advice about her husband's "dream", it backfires when a manipulative b**** nora tries to snake her way into tom's heart. i thought it would be good for lynette and tom to split up, but not to have him end up with Nora.



    Austin and Julie-while julie insists that she isn't into austin, jealousy appears to spark when she finds him in a hot and heavy situation with her friend in the back seat of a car. she easily gets back at him by earning him a D- on his paper that she compassionately helped him with. good for you Julie.



    zack-still no word on zack/dana or paul.

    "Perfect"
    Almost every character was on this episode. From the Beginning i knew this episode was good; it was hilarious, exciting and it reavealed many things.

    Bree is dealing now with her daugther Danielle who is in love with her history teacher and she wants to separate them. Then Gabrielle is trying to hurt Carlos so bad because she says "she dont love him"; Lynnete is waiting for Tom to follow his dream which is to open a pizza parlor, and that Lynnete seems to dont like the idea at all, so Nora tells Tom she likes her idea 'cause she wants him with her. Finally Susan is hoping that Mike gets his memory again to enjoy all her time with him, but Eddie would not let that happen while shes alive.
  • The Art of Sabotage

    "Superb"
    Bree forces an end to her daughter's relationship with her history teacher, causing Danielle to attempt suicide. Gabrielle tries her best to hurt Carlos. Susan tries to help Mike regain his memory. Lynette ponders whether to continue her unwavering support for Tom when she learns he wants to open a pizzeria. This episode furthered along several storylines and had some nice revelations. We learn that the dead body found earlier, Monique, has Mike Delfino's phone number written on her hand. We also learn that their is more to Nora than an annoying personality... she wants to Tom to be a constant presence in Kayla's life, by living with them. Orson's outburst at Andrew over his making light of Danielle's suicide attempt also gives hints that Orson may have known someone that committed suicide. Overall, this was an excellent episode and I'm excited for next Sunday. Next week should further the mystery along more; I read that Carolyn Bigsby, her husband Harvey, Monique, and Alma Hodge will all make an appearance in next week's episode.
  • Witnessing the art of sabotage is really great!

    "Superb"
    It seems that Bree and Andrew are bonding, not very close, though enough to gang up against Danielle and try to get her to break her relationship with her History teacher.

    Susan discovered that Mike has been poisoned by Edie, but will she be able to undo what Edie has done?

    Tom told Lynette what his dream is, that is to open a pizza parlour. However, Lynette is not so keen on the idea. Nora told Lynette to go against Tom because she thinks the idea sucks. But what Nora really wants is to drive a wedge between Tom and Lynette, so that she'd have Tom all to herself and their daughter.

    Carlos brought a woman home, much to Gabrielle's surprise. So, she decided to return the favour. However, she couldn't bring herself to have sex with the man she brought home, and Carlos found out about that. So, he still clings on to the hope that they can get back together. Unfortunately, Gabrielle doesn't share the same sentiments, and tries very hard to hurt his feelings. Poor Carlos...
  • The title SHE AINT NICE is right, as all the girls nasty sides come to light.Nora and Edie both show their sides as the shows villains, Bree uses her wit to end Danielles relationship, and Orson starts to crack. Susans attempts to win Mike back fail .

    Boy she ain\\\'t nice! Edie makes a beeline for Mike, and her and Susan have words again. Honestly I think they are both contrived! Bree\\\'s reactions to Danielle\\\'s behaviour is just awesome, hilarious. I like how Andrew is starting to better himself, he is a character i like. You start to see cracks in Orson\\\'s persona, and so does Bree finally. Julie is still flirting with Edie\\\'s nephew, there\\\'s big tension there. I hope Gabby and Carlos get back together. They are a truly comical pair, using other people to make each other jealous. It appears they may sort things out. nora\\\'s sabotage sucks as she reveals to her daughter that she is working on getting daddy home. NASTY! I hope she\\\'s gone by the finale, she is a loon! Lynette should kick her butt!! This is one of the more witty and sharp episodes of the season. Some characters, eg Susan and Nora are getting a bit ridiculous, so hopefully something is done soon. Bring on more desperate housewives, it\\\'s getting better each year. And finally, last but not least, get Susan and Mike back together. They need it!!
  • Sabotage

    "Superb"
    It's getting meaner and meaner...

    I think about Carlos, trying to get Gaby back, but she doesn't want...it reminds me "The war of the Roses", an old movie where Michal Douglas and Kathleen Turner are an husband and wife hating each other after their marriage didn't work.

    And I think about Edie, who's stoling Mike from Susan; or Nora trying to gain Tom's trust and damage Lynette...

    About Bree's family, funny situations a go go :D her daughter is totally stupid (and totally ugly I'd say, young girls in DH are very far from being even decent), while Andrew came back as a totally changed person, I like him much more now.

    About mysteries, let's see in the next episodes how Mike is involved with the dead woman who has is phone number written on the wrist.

    Overall a good episode, I don't like much revenge histories, but I like this series' humor, in this episode there were a lot of funny scenes and quotes.

    i\\\'m from Thailand who study in CA. I used to watch from cable TV at my country. At first i saw this show.i thought it would be like a sex and the city.(Women on show) But it was different. Sex and the city it\\\'s all about friendship, fashionable, lifestyle, and many emotional likes drama, comedy and sex. but about desperated housewives it\\\'s all about that i told you above the same but it also have family things ( Things that you should do for your family). For example: How to protect and make the family long lasting. How to keep love forever. I think this show is very good and more funny that you ever thought.
  • The best episode ever ! Hillarious and breathtaking!

    "Perfect"
    First i tought that Desperate Housewives coudn\'t get any better but this episode was AMAZING !

    Bree is trying to end Danielles relationship with her history teacher but Danielle tries to commit suicide and Bree is powerless to stop her so she has another sabotage strategy.

    Gabrielle is trying to make Carlos jealous because he had a girl with him in a hot tub. Then she called Phill Lopez but her strategy fires back at her . And finally she does something that will devastate Carlos.

    Lynette is shocked when she hears that Tom is trying to a open a pizza restaurant and she tells him that that is a bad idea while Nora makes their life worse.

    Susan figures out that Edie has been telling Mike all those stuff about her so she takes Mike to suburb but his memory isn\'t refreshed.

    Finally on the hand of the dead womans body there are some numbers and it turns out that that is Mike\'s phone number.

    Getting more and more interesting and Funnier with every single episode !

    Great job for Desperate Housewives they are back again on the path of fame just like in season one and this season is promising to be better than previous two seasons together !
  • Overall, Nice She Ain't was an exciting episode. However, I have one problem with the plot. I don't know if anyone else has noticed.

    9.2
    "Superb"
    I understand that the writers are probably delaying Mike's process of getting his memory back for more dramatic and comedic effects, especially between Edie and Susan. However, I find this a little bit unrealistic. If this happened in real life, which is not unlikely, people do get coma, wouldn't they try to help Mike remember by bringing up the most significant things in his life, such as Zach, Zach's mother, who was his long time girlfriend. She was the reason that he even ended up in this neighbourhood. I mean, I know that is exactly what I would do immediately if I were Susan, and this strategy would work a whole lot better than car wash music! Susan isn't supposed to be stupid. She at least went to college and writes children's books. How could the writers make her so stupid and not aware of the way she thinks she can get through Mike, which is to remind him of Zach, Noah, and Noah's daughter. He remembers those, of course, because these things happened before he even came to Westeria Lane. This is the big problem I have with this episode. I don't know if anyone else has noticed or agreed.

    This episode was by far a favourite of mine.



    But then again, most of the desperate housewives' episodes are my favourite.

    I can't help it.......this show makes drama fun and exciting.



    Through this whole episode, there was none stop funny....i couldn't help laughing!



    From Susan's crazy comment..."who am i disturbing?...it's a coma ward---don't you want them to wake up?!



    To Gabby's loony attempts to make Carlos jealous!

    I mean, can you actually believe she moved the bed and proceeded to rock it?



    These women are by far desperate.



    Plus, added to that, was Susan's lame attempt to take Mike down memory lane.....i mean, really, did she really think that that disco dance move whould jog his memory?

    If anything, i think it made Mike question his sanity when he decided to hook up with Susan.



    Lets not forget Lynette and Bree....because without them, there wouldn't be a 'Desperate Housewives'!



    This episode was simply, just fabulous!!!



    I give it four stars (****)!
  • Sabotage! I love it... I enjoyed this too!

    This show kinda gets me at times, sometimes I find it great to watch and sometimes I find it real difficult to concentrate on that I am not bothered what happens on it but will note key things for future episodes, this time round I was enjoying every moment, was such a great storyline and had some great oneliners espcially the one from Susan in the hospital when she is being chucked out, the line about 'this is a coma ward, you would want them to wake up!' that had me laughing along with a few others. The show has not lost its touch and I am expecting great things from the rest of the upcoming season.

    So Bree's daughter is a idiot as well as a spoiled little princess. Who would have guessed that her next move after dating a murderer would be to date her teacher? Tom's a dolt and his wife(Felicity Huffman) belittles him, I am kinda rooting for the ditsy flakey chick to break up that marriage, no man deserves to be with such a controlling condescending shrew. Dippy Teri Hatcher can't figure out any way to get Mike to remember her besides doing her ditsy prat fall routine. I wonder if she'll find a videotape or a picture or two, especially one with She-Man(can't remember her name, the chick that's dating Michael Bolton)treating Mike and her like crap. Some of these writers need to think in reality for a moment while writing. And Eva Longoria proves that her character on screen is very close to her real life persona. I don't like the storyline with her and the divorce. Either divorce or don't divorce, enough with the casual sex with strangers, get on with it! Overall it was a great episode and better than anything else on at that time on a Sunday Night.

    Any episodes with Bree and the family are made for great material and this was one of the best. I loved Andrew's reaction to Danielle's sucide "attempt" and his handling it. But Orson had a great moment screaming at Andrew about how suicide isn't something to joke about, making me wonder more about his past. Bree's handling of Danielle's relationship was quite good and perfectly in character but I was also impressed by how Danielle got the teacher fired and made sure he'd get nothing in the divorce with Bree making a "that's my girl!" face.



    It was somewhat painful to see the Susan/Mike parts but hopefully it won't go too far. The best part is we all know Edie's heading for a big fall in the end, which makes her initial victory easy to take. The Julie/Austin bits were a bit much as we all know they're going to end up doing it soon. But Julie is stil very nice to watch and overdue for a spotlight. And I liked the nice touch that they're doing a Shakespeare project considering their mom and aunt can't stand each other. I liked the nice touch that Carlos doesn't seem to believe Gabby really slept with John and their war of wits is funny to watch. Still, it seems so unlikely they can ever really pull apart as they're way too good together. Finally Nora steps up to the plate and does what we all knew she'd do and make a play for Tom. I liked how she set Lynette up by playing up her own quirkiness. This followed the very nice talk with the other ladies and I hope Mrs. McClusky shows up for more as she's such a delight. So we get some touches with that phone number but overall, this was more on how twisted family life on the show can be, which is why we love it so much.

    this episode was alright

    i didn\'t think it was as good as the other episodes this season

    the stuff with eddie and susan annoyed me eddie trying to steal mike away like that made me mad

    and that crap with susan\'s daughter and that boy



    i kinda liked lynette and toms storyline with him wanting to open i pizza parlor

    what a terrible idea

    i know lynette is very mad about that



    but toms old girlffriend is now trying to steal mike from lynette and i think some stuff is going to happen....
  • I didn\'t like the episode as much as the previously ones, but I still enjoyed watching it...

    I didn\'t like the episode as much as the previously ones, but I still enjoyed watching it, it wasn\'t a bad episode. And I really had such a S1-feeling, you too? I don\'t exactly know why, but it totally felt like a S1 episode, which is actual awesome. :) Also, the speech of Mary-Alice just reminded me of a S1 speech/voice-over.



    I guess I didn\'t like the ep as much as the others, because we had a lot of scenes with Susan/Mike -- and I just couldn\'t care less about their relationship. Still, it was kinda nice to see Susan tries so hard to make Mike remember. The scene with the car-wash song was actually quite funny. :D

    Her scene with Edie at the end...mh. Edie is such a **** and I still kinda like her. :X And I actually believe her, that she was in love with Mike from day one. But she also does all this to hurt Susan(I\'m all for that! :X)



    Gaybe/Carlos, hee! :D First, he tries to make her jealous and than Gaby tries. *rofl* Her scene in the bed and later, when Carlos comes in = hilarious! :D But then she actual hurt him =( I\'d like it so much to see them both together again, but I really think that Gaby isn\'t in love with him anymore. *sigh*



    Tom/Lynette was kinda boring. But the end with Nora and Tom...uh-uh, tension! :O



    Bree! Oh my god, I love my Bree! <3 The very first scene with her and that motel-guy, mwuaha. And then during dinner. *rofl* That whole scenario was so great. :D Orson and Andrew were both great, I liked it that Orson laughed about Andrew\'s joke. And that Bree and Andrew came along pretty good, that\'s awesome.

    The last scene with Bree, when she said, that she wonders from whom Danielle her \"intruging\"-side and then she smiled. LOL Oh boy, I seriously adore Bree. I enjoy her every single episode, no matter what she\'s doing. <3



    I can\'t believe that I actual like Orson! :O He\'s evil and that, but then he\'s so cool. (And he was the one who hit Mike with the car, 100+ points for that, go you guy!) Anyway, Mike has some connection to that dead girl--which probably made suicide, I guess?--from episode 3x02. Mh...this season\'s mystery is so much more interesting than last season and also more complex again, than last season. Yay!



    *sigh* I\'m so so so happy that DH is good again, did I already mention that? :P

    Tonight was great. I an't wait until next week. It seems like Desperate Housewives is getting better and better. Im so glad they realized and fixed what was wrong with season two. This is the only great show on Tevision. Other networks should take notes. lynett doubed TOm, Nora was a bit**, Bree was great whenn dealing with not so great things, Susan lost her man to theat slu* Eddi.

    This episode was the second best of the season, in my opinion. At first, I wansn't very interested in the whole Edie vs. Susan story, but it really looks like it could play into something enjoyable to watch. Tom with the pizza parlor sounded boring, but after Nora gave her two cents, I think that her and Lynette will reach an impass that would be a great season three idea, if she wasn't set to leave in a few more episodes. Gabrielle was her typicial selfish self tonight. I think that Carlos should move on, even though we know that they're going to get back together, unless Carlos dies or something. She's a typical vicious woman looking to dig her claws into her future ex husband, but I miss seeing Carlos being the guy that wouldn't put up with it. What happened to the guy that beat two men to a pulp because he thought they were sleeping with his wife? I think it would be interesting to see him fighting back. The whole bed thing with Phil was hilarious though. Bree's storyline improved alot tonight. At first, I hated the idea of Danielle sleeping with her history teacher, but after it escalated into a full out knock-down-drag-out fight where she even threatened her teacher was brilliant! I'm still dissapointed at the lack of Mary Alice's presence. We only get to hear Ms. Strong 3 times an episode, am I the only one that wants more? There wasn't much 'mytery' tonight, but hopefully it will regain itself. Awesome episode though, thanks Ms. Cunningham.
  • Sabatoge. Nora tries to get Tom to fall for her. Danielle betrays her history teacher. Gabby is desperately trying to get rid of Carlos. Mike is still distaning himself from Susan because of the things Edie tells him.

    I feel so bad for Susan! I really thought they were gonna start getting things going on this episode because of the moment between them in front of Mary-Alice\'s house. I learned that Gabby really hates Carlos and wants him out of her life. Bree ends the relationship between Danielle and Mr. Filati. Nora is trying to get Tom to come home with her. Kiersten Warren was so good at the end of this episode! This is the first time I thought she did a really good job. Every episode gets better and better. Next week looks even better. I can\'t wait!
  • Gabrielle and Carlos are fighting again, trying to out do each other with revenge, Edy is making progress with Mike, Lynette is doubting her husband.....

    Well, the Lynette story is silly, why intorduce another kid to the show that does absolutely nothing for the show. I mean each time the new little girl is on she does almost nothing. They have enough characters doing that! Carlos and Gabby have reat chemistry and possibly the most exciting relationship on the show. Let's hope they keep Carlos around and keep him with Gabby. When they are together, it is amazing. Edy is being obnoxious, of course, that's what she does best. Maybe Mike and Susan need a time out. I mean 6 months wasn't enough time to hope. Jumping in bed with another man while your true love is fighting for his life? Low.
  • Gaby and Carlos try to make eachother jealous. Lynette struggles to stand behind Tom in his dream of a pizza parlor. Bree's family visits a therapist. Susan tries to help Mike remember their past relationship as Edie tries to ruin it. Julie tutors Austin.

    "Superb"
    As I was watching this episode, I thought over and over again just how clever this was written. In the begining, it talks about how everyone is capable of deception. And then it goes into how everyone goes about doing it. Bree was the absolute best in this episode. So many specific things she did to ruin her daughter's relationship with her teacher were so funny. For example, when she talked to the motel owner to get the room key. And when she moved in her daughter's bags to the teacher's house and bribed him to end the relationship. Brilliant! My favorite line in the episode happened at the dinner table and Danielle throws her plate at the wall. Bree turns to Orson and says, "Remind me to buy paper plates." She was definatley not going to let her daughter make her feel sorry. Another thing I loved was the whole jealousy act between Julie and Austin. I can tell they both like eachother. Hopefully, in time they will hook up. I otherr favorite part was the whole discussion between Susan and Edie in the hospital before Susan gets carried out by the security gaurd. Great fun! I can't wait until next weeks epsiode. I hope Tom stays faithful to Lynette and Gaby and Carlos decide against the divorce.
