    Damn, I was scared for Nora. Lynette looked like she was gonna kill her in front of kayla! All you hear is "If you ever associcate with my husband again, I will do to your spin what I did to your door!" I think that Lynette went a bit over the top but then again, Nora shouldn't have tried to seduce Tom. And if I was Susan I would have sent Edie out of the window when I saw her screwing the guy in hospital (don't know his name!)! it was so jokes. And Gabrielle was deep when she pushed Carlos out of the window. Nah man, she's wrong. How could she want to marry him to get money outta him when she already owns everything he has?
  • Susan professes her love for Ian. Gabrielle and Carlos try to rekindle their love. Bree is confronted with Orson's past. Nora and Lynette go to war.

    Great episode! Desperate Housewives keeps getting better and better this season! Susan gets drunk and gets over Mike and likes Ian even though she was drunken she said it was here saying it. Nora is turing into a little b***h! Lynette sure scared Nora when she threaten her. That was so funny! Kayla before was like freaked out and couldn't move! Gabrielle is so funny! She pushes Carlos out the window and then calls someone and looks down and he is gone! He looked pretty preeved off and glass on him! Carlos is awesome! Mike and Edie make out and then Susan comes in! Bree learns about Orson.

    We’ve had episodes in the past where the term “confession is good for the soul” has been thrown at us with absolutely no degree of subtlety. This episode works magnificently no less because there’s no short supplies of victories for certain people.



    The first two people who reap victory are Lynette and Tom who spend the first half of the episode arguing so that the U-Turn at the end is a really touching moment when both parties finally appear to be on the same wavelength.



    However we have a while and plenty of stuff to plough through before that became a reality because as I pointed out before, Tom and Lynette did spend most of the episode on opposite sides.



    When Tom showed Lynette the place he signed a lease to open up his own pizza parlour, Lynette was in no way shy of expressing her contempt for Tom’s latest plan and while the place needed work, you can’t help but wonder if Lynette was too dismissive for the sake of being dismissive.



    Okay rats in the place is not something consumers want to see when being served their pizzas but even Tom isn’t stupid enough to deal with that little problem is he? Also the place was severely dusty which is something a good clean can tackle and Tom showed his ability to get down on his knees and scrub so his work ethic isn’t too questionable either.



    Lynette had at least one point – Tom should’ve consulted her before actually signing a lease regardless of her reaction upon inspecting the place. It isn’t just his money that he’s putting at risk, its Lynette’s also and she has a right to be annoyed over not being consulted. Even Tom had to understand where she was coming from with that one.



    There’s a wonderful scene with a mad Lynette telling the boys (while Kayla drops info to Nora) that Tom will learning a new word when he gets home but there’s an even better scene with herself, Gabrielle and Susan as they get wasted on booze and she admits that a part of her is only happy if Tom’s desires meet her satisfaction. It’s not the nicest thing to come out with but it’s honest and Lynette acknowledges the fact that she can’t or shouldn’t control Tom’s every action but at least its part of the process for the two of them to make it up and that they do pretty well.



    The other part then comes with Nora’s feeble attempts of trying her case with Tom by playing on his vulnerabilities and feeding him false confidence in order for her to kiss him. Tom isn’t thrilled and uses Nora’s actions as an incentive for him to make up with Lynette and goes even better by telling him what Nora tried to do as well.



    Since the moment Nora has arrived on Wisteria Lane, Lynette has been waiting for a reason to smack her down and short of ripping off a scene between The Bride and Vernita Green in Kill Bill Volume 1, Lynette breaks down Nora’s front door and tells her out of a curious Kayla’s earshot that she would have no problem doing the same to her spine if she tries stirring things between her and Tom again. Both Felicity Huffman and Kiersten Warren play that scene so delightfully, I’m amazed that Lynette didn’t pulverize Nora right there.



    Nora isn’t the only person worth pulverizing on the series as nutty Carolyn is forced by her husband Harvey into apologising to Bree and Orson over accusing the latter of killing Alma and while Bree pretends to accept her apology, on the outside she is still seething with the meddlesome shrew and the fact that Tish is snubbing Bree due to Carolyn’s rumour spreading forces Bree to get her own back on her former friend by booking a table with herself, Orson, Carolyn and Harvey. It certainly put the pretty vapid Tish in her place so point one to Bree.



    Now as for Carolyn – was she being sincere when apologising earlier on to Bree and Orson? Hell no and I bet there wasn’t a single member who bought her lame apology either. In fact Carolyn hauls Bree into the ladies and shows her pictures of a battered Alma and tells her Orson did it. She’s also quick to point out that she’s not a nut and is doing this for Bree’s own protection. While the pictures incriminate Orson, I still think Carolyn is nothing more than a malicious **** If Carolyn did care, then why does she sound so smug in her pursuit to separate Bree and Orson?



    Just as interesting as battered photos of Alma is the friendship between Harvey and Orson. The former obviously doesn’t exhibit the same views as his nut of a wife in regards to Orson and even is quick to point how difficult Alma’s disappearance must have been for him. This is after Harvey then tells his golf buddy that he was screwing around with an air stewardess named Monique and yes, she’s the same Monique connected to Orson and Mike.



    In fact the police are pretty determined that Mike is responsible for the killing the mysterious lady and are openly hostile when Mike protests his innocence and has Edie point out that beyond 2004, Mike’s memory is sketchy. In fact the dick of a detective uses Mike’s killing of a cop years back to bait him.



    When Edie shows up to wear something rather revealing at the end of the episode in her own way of getting him better, Mike begins to remember bits about the mystery Monique which means just like Harvey and very likely Orson, Mike was involved with Monique. This girl is becoming a hell of a lot more interesting than Alma. Maybe Carolyn should focus on her instead.



    If Monique’s death was a recent event, then it’s very likely that the reason why Orson ran Mike over and left him for dead was because he falsely assumed that Mike had been responsible for Monique’s death and he wanted payback. I’m also assuming that Orson no longer thinks Mike is responsible as he’s quick to anominously call the police and drop Harvey in it over his affair with the air stewardess.



    When Mike’s not involved in another season long mystery, he’s at least getting some action in the bedroom from Edie after she does the right thing and confesses to him, the real extent of their relationship. Is Mike just using Edie for sex because things being the way they are with Susan? Possibly but Edie is certainly enjoying herself in a guilt free manner that last week she didn’t have and having Susan walk in on her and Mike at it must have done wonders for her confidence to no end.



    Once again Susan’s love life is the big focus and while this season hasn’t had the embarrassing tedium of last season with plots for Miss Mayer, you do wonder if and when the writers will think outside the box for the woman because focusing on her love life is pretty limiting.



    This week Susan tried to avoid Ian and thanks to Karen McClusky was forced into talking to him as he asked her to meet an editor friend of his. After the whole debacle with seeing Mike and Edie having a good time, Susan got roped into drinking her misery away and began to weight her options of who would better for her – Mike or Ian?



    On one side, Mike has been the guy she’s been after since the day arrived on Wisteria Lane and ultimately the guy as an audience we’re supposed to believe she will end up with in the long run and she really does love him and pre-amnesia, Mike felt the same way about her.



    Then there’s Ian, who for the most part could be described as a British male version of Susan anyway. He’s on a same intellect level with her and is as emotionally immature to boot. To his credit, he also cares deeply for Susan as does she for him and has been a shoulder for her to lean over the last couple of months. Plus Teri Hatcher does have wonderful chemistry with Dougray Scott that slightly overshadows the chemistry she has with James Denton.



    In the end Susan picks Ian and this is after she gets wasted with Lynette and Gabby, crashes Ian’s party and as per usual does something she regrets. For the time I don’t mind this coupling and I have to admit that I am starting to warm to Ian more than a few weeks ago but there’s an element of contrivance in the way this relationship is being presented and for it to be better the writing needs to feel a lot more organic and a lot less rushed.



    Another thing that I am really warming to no end is Carlos being every bit as underhanded as that wife he can’t (and really doesn’t want to) shake off and this week he manages to excel himself in shafting Gabrielle by allowing her to have everything.



    This manages to raise Gabrielle and when Carlos receives a mystery package, the conniving wife soon discovers that he’s up for a job worth $2,000,000 and decides that half of that money is rightfully her. Short of identity theft, Gabby comes up with the nifty idea of stalling the divorce and seducing her lovelorn hubby to get what she feels belongs to her. Of course, the fact that Gabby was getting stuff that she didn’t own was bad enough.



    Anyways it’s not long before she uses her feminine wiles to get Carlos in the sack but it seems than in the course of three years, Carlos has developed some form of self-awareness and Gabby is disgusted to learn that the papers were fake, there is no job and Carlos did so that Gabby would sleep with him and he could hurt her in the same way she’s been doing to him for months.



    It’s only fair after and Carlos isn’t the only who delights in the look that Gabby shows when she realises that she’s been played. Gabby can certainly lie and manipulate but like anyone she doesn’t like it when it’s done to her and pushing Carlos out the window only proves that point. It seems that despite confessing to her friends about still loving Carlos, Gabrielle clearly loves herself all the more and this war between the pair is just about to get more unpleasant.



    Also in “Sweetheart, I Have To Confess”



    Housewife of the week: Edie bragging to her local priest about her list of conquests which included the cable guy, a folk singing duo, Rabbi Lipman and now Mike Delfino. Did anyone else think the priest was more jealous than appalled?



    Bree (to Orson, re Carolyn): “Thank you darling but if you think that I am going to break bread with that malicious, pill popping shrew, you’re out of your mind”.



    This episode saw Ian in his publisher element and given that Susan has been blacklisted, maybe she should use some of his connections.



    Tom (re pizza place): “It’s a fixer upper”

    Lynette: “It’s a burner downer”.



    Carlos: “You’re gonna wash my shorts?”

    Gabrielle: “I don’t want to but if you wear them one more time, they’ll ask me to wash themselves”



    So was Bree playing with her friend Rebecca? Maybe her and Rex did take lessons after all.



    Tom: “I love my wife”

    Nora: “Really? The one that thinks you’re a loser?”



    Gabrielle: “I still love Carlos”

    Lynette: “Yeah, he’s hot”.



    I loved that scene with the girls getting pissed even if it was without Bree. Susan stealing Ida’s cab was funny also.



    Tish: “Nice to see you”

    Bree: “Nice to be seen”.



    Monique: We learned that her surname was Polier and that she was an air stewardess. Now how, when and where Mike, Orson and Harvey would be interesting to find out.



    Lynette (to Nora): “You will never see my husband again. If you try to I will do to your spine what I did to your front door. Nod if you understand”.



    Ian: “Then you said you wanted to dress me up as a naughty schoolboy and spank me – Susan or booze?”

    Susan: “I didn’t say that”.



    No Andrew, Danielle, Julie or Austin this week.



    Gabrielle: “You are a bastard”

    Carlos: “Better a bastard than a whore”.



    Chronology: None was directly specified this week.



    “Sweetheart, I Have To Confess” may be about confession and setting the truth free but when it comes to both Alma and Monique, I’m not entirely sure what I should or shouldn’t believe. On the plus side, finding fault with this season is becoming an increasingly difficult task.
  • Susan Professes her love for Ian. Gabrielle and Carlos try to rekindle their love. Bree is confronted with Orson's past. Nora and Lynette go to war.

    "Perfect"
    This is my review for the episode sweetheart I have to confess. SUSAN she walked in on Edie and Mike doing it in his hospital room. Then she realized that she was still in love with Ian. GABRIELLE she snopped around and found these papers telling Carlos about his new job offering 2 million dollars. Later her divorice lawyer tells her that she won't get half of the money if Carlos signs the contract after their legally divoriced. So she sleeps with him and he tells her that he mailed the papers to himself to see if she would try and take his money. She pushes him through the window. He comes back inside and he says oh it's on.

    LYNETTE Her and Tom get into a big fight over his new pizza parlor that he signed a lease on without telling her first. So he says he wants to sleep at the pizza place tonight.Kayla over hears Lynette telling he boys about why daddy's not coming home tonight. Kayla calls Nora and tells he that. Nora goes to Tom's pizza parlor with food and two bottles of wine. After he's a little tipsy she kisses him and he gets upset saying how much he loves his wife. Tom tells Lynette what Nora did and she kicks down her door ready to attack her until Kayla comes in. Instead she whispers in Nora's ear that her relationship with Tom is over and she will never see him again.

    EDIE Her and Mike are starting to get intimate and serious.

    Bree Carolyn shows her pictures of Alma(after she had benn brutally beaten by Orson.)Making her unsure about Orson.

    "Superb"
    Lynette-WOW! "DING DONG" lol let me start by saying YES WOMAN, finally she grew a backbone. i love how she kicked in Nora's door...who knew she had that kind of strength. i believe i would pay real money to see her actually do that to Nora's spine. that's what the serpent succubent gets for trying to slither her way into tom's heart. good for you Lynette.



    Susan, Mike and Edie-so we see that susan wound up back in Ian's arms. whether she was a little forced by being hurt, or went all on her own free will is still up for debate. honestly i think it's a little of both. we learn that mike remembers the girl in the photo...yet another person who has died. i'm starting to wonder if maybe mike used to be a hitman. lol. by the way, i can't wait to see the look on edie's face when mike finds out she's been lying to him, though i did feel sort of bad for her when she was explaining how she felt mike barely knew she existed before.



    Bree-after the former Roseanne star reveals disturbing pictures and police reports about her friend that is suspected of being killed by her former husband Orison, bree appears to be having second thoughts. i think she seriously might believe she should have definately not rushed into this marraige, or even carried on with it at all. we didn't see Danielle and Andrew this episode. i wonder who the woman is that mike remembers, and what Orison's connection was with her (besides the fact that his friend hand an affair with her.)



    Gabby-after trying to seduce her husband back because she believed he had a two million dollar job coming his way, gabby's plan backfires. though we know she really does want carlos back, obviously he doesn't know it yet. after gabby (fantastically and hilariously)pushes carlos out the window, (calling his name sweetly..."carlos...honey?" love that touch by the way)he staggars back inside sliced up and angry, stating "oh yeah, it's on". i feel sympathy for gabby now lol.



    Zack and Paul-still no sight of them, but Susan's remark about paul was very funny. "too bad paul young's still not around, he'd know what to do" lol that was classic.



    Julie and Austin-nothing going on with them this episode.

    Lynette is pissed of at Tom for buying the place for pizza without telling her and then after Tom conefesses about Nora she goes violent and has a final face off with her.



    Very surprising and shocking episode !
  • This is one ocassion where I think the show was supporting untrue religious stereotypes. It really wasn\'t a big deal, just sort-of uncalled for is all.

    "Great"
    I liked this episode but it was hard to watch Lynette tell Tom, /"I assumed you\'d have a dream worth supporting.\" She really could\'ve found a better way to say that. Sometimes she could really re-think some things she says to Tom. Also, at the beginning when Mary Alice was explaining how Bree hated unexpected visitors; I didn\'t like how Mary Alice was saying that Bree felt the two young men at her door were religious zealots. I don\'t think Bree really has room to call anyone a zealot. This is one ocassion where I think the show was supporting untrue religious stereotypes. It really wasn\'t a big deal, just sort-of uncalled for is all.
  • You Go Lynette!! I had to stop watching the episode to comment on it (thank God for VCRs cuz I will be rewinding and replaying this one until it's out on DVD!)

    "Perfect"
    When Lynette kicked in Nora's door after Tom told her what she did, I was like YES, THAT'S HOW IT'S DONE!!! Tom is sweet and loves Lynette to death and would NEVER cheat on her. Nora's conniving a-- needs to be taught a lesson and Lynette is most definitely the teacher! Lynette put up with so much when Nora entered their lives with Kayla but trying to seduce Tom was the LAST straw for me and apparently for Lynette as well! Well done on the writing! I'm going back to watch the rest then rewind to see it all again!

    I hate Nora very much

    what a way to go. .



    she was feeling so crappy about herself

    But i live her line\" i don\'t have later, you dumb biitch\"

    it was also good to see how much she really loved her daughter she wasnt just after Tom poor Kayla



    My husband and I were talking this past week when our local radio station said someon would die in this episode. I told him I was pretty sure it was going to be Nora. I feel bad cause I actually wanted it. That story line was bugging me. I guess other people thought that way too
  • While the whole of season three so far has been amazingly better than the flawed second season, this episode manages to stand out above the rest.

    9.9
    "Superb"
    This episode of "Desperate Housewives" was nothing short of amazing. Virtually everything I've been wanting from this show ever since the end of the first season was finally presented to me, and I couldn't be happier. And what's more, it provides subtle set up for the next not-so-subtle and sure to be amazing sweeps episode, which is entitled "Bang".



    The episode starts out with a voiceover from Mary Alice, about Edie. We see her confessing about seducing different men, and then we go to the hospital where she reveals her heart to Mike and they kiss. She then goes back to the confessional and, rather than really confessing, tells the priest that she just made out with Mike Delfino and that it was *great*. A great way to start the episode, don't you think?



    The conflict between Gaby and Carlos escalates as Gaby discovers that Carlos has apparantly been offered a job which will give him two million dollars. Her lawyer tells her she will not get half if Carlos signs the contract while they are still married, so Gaby seduces Carlos - and let me add in here that she was amazingly sexy while doing it. The next morning Carlos reveals it was all a lie to have sex with her, and Gaby accidentally pushes Carlos out the window, which makes him extremely angry. One can only imagine what he will dish out next.



    Susan has several good scenes in this episode. She gets drunk with Lynette and the other girls (with the exception of Bree), and then decides to go to Ian's house to confess her love for him. This is all after walking in on Edie and Mike about to have sex in the hospital.



    Meanwhile, Lynette gets angry at Tom when he buys a dilapidated restuarant to turn into a pizza parlor, and forces him to spend the night there. Nora finds out and pays Tom a visit, bringing along a bottle of wine. The two get drunk and Nora kisses Tom. Tom gets upset and leaves, and tells Lynette what happened. Lynette pays Nora a visit and gives an Emmy-worthy performance when she threatens Nora's well-being if she ever gets near her family again.



    The highlight of the episode was the very funny scene in which Lynette, Susan, and Gaby get drunk on the porch. This scene brought back fond memories of the first season. These women have such great chemistry together, despite the fact that their characters vary drastically in age and personality.



    The episode ends which Mike flashing back to a memory of the dead woman, Monique. So obviously Mike and Orson are connected through her. It's my suspicion that Mike may have killed her or something, which is why Orson ran over him. But only time will tell and I have great faith in Marc Cherry and the other producers.
  • The theme is confession. Nora tries to make her move on Tom. Carlos wanted Gabby in bed. And it is revealed that Mike, Orson, and Harvey, Carolyn's husband, knew Monique. Harvey has an affair with her.

    I know I know I say this every week but this was the best damn episode I've seen so far. I love the episodes where they mix the mystery in it. Oh! And the end was perfect! Leaving us with the flashback with Monique in a seductive outfit. The 3 ladies on the porch, crunk, was hilarious. I loved seeing them talking about their husbands/lovers. It was deep in a very funny way. All I can say is that I cannot wait for next week's episode. I'm so excited! That's all I can think about now! I hope it lives up to all the hype.
  • Woo-hoo....this is exactly why i watch this show!!! If it is none stop laughter you seek...then this is the episode for you! Definitely!!!

    Oh My God.......i can't believe i chose sleep over watching this episode.

    Allow me to explain.......Desperate Housewives, first airs on Sunday night in my country, but i had school first thing in the morning and wanted to sleep. So i decided to skip this episode.....Big mistake.

    Anyhow, i was able to catch a re-broadcast on Monday...boy was i lucky.

    It definitely had to be luck, for me to get another opportunity to watch this episode.



    This episode was truly one that will go down in history. My all time favourite part ( since i have so many favourites) is when Lynette kicked down Nora's door and said, and i quote; "Ding-Dong"...end quote.

    That was truly brilliant.



    Couldn't have directed it better myself.



    Way to go directors,writers and actors.......you truly make Sunday night tv worth watching!
  • Only the truly repentent have any right at all to expect a second chance... Which is why its best to think twice before you confess... Especially, if you don't know what it is you're confessing to.

    Bree learns that Alma had files a police report against Orson for hitting her (complete with picture supplied by Carolyn). Orson learns that his friend Harvey was having an affair with Monique, which he informs the police of anonymously. Gabby tries to stall her divorce because she thinks Carlos will be coming into money, which turns out to be a complete fabrication on Carlos' part. Lynette decides she should support Tom's dream even though it isn't what she wants and she puts Nora in her place when she comes on to Tom. Susan decides that she might ahve given up too quickly on Ian and restarts her relationship with him. Mike continues his new relationship with Edie.



    This episode was one of the best of the series. This episode furthered along the mystery nicely and had good storylines for all of the characters. The scene with the ladies drinking on Lynette's porch, Lynette bustin in Nora's door and puting her in her place, and Mike's flashback of Monique were all exceptionally good scenes. I also liked the theme to this episode... about how not all confession warrant the absolution people expect from them. The preview for next week's episode looked amazing... I can't wait!

    DH keeps showing funny episodes, I like it more and more!

    This week Carlos takes his revenge on Gaby, and I laughed while he was saying Gaby that he hoped for months to hear from her those words...and revealed that all the documents that she sent to her lawyer were fake, and therefore the are no money and no new job. I still think that they'll fall in love again with each other though.

    Best scene of the week is Lynette destroying Nora's door and menacing to break her spine too if she tries to ruin her marriage with Tom; even the ladies drinking on the porch was quite funny.

    I really hope that Ian's character becomes a stable member of the cast, I think he's a great addiction and matches well with Susan character, better than Michael did.

    About Bree's storyline, I think's it's getting more interesting week after week, maybe because I like Orson and I really want to see his psychopath version.

    With Carlos and Gaby living under the same roof, you know there had to be all kinds of trouble. But when she tried to stay with him for the money and she found out that there was no money and no job, well she opened a whole new can of biscuts! Lynette has to deal with her husbands baby mama with a fatal attraction. Too bad for Susan, she's stuck with the dork(Ian) for now until Mike gets his memory back and realizes that he was in love and almost engaged with Susan. Then I'll probably send flowers and an invitation for dinner to Edie!?! With all this going on you still can't forget, Bree's husband ran over Mike for what seemed to be a misunderstanding. Isn't this the kind of show that makes us so desperate to watch week after week?. Raise your glasses to the crew of Housewives for probably the best show of the night, Good Show..... now get back to work!
  • Good one

    "Superb"
    I'm not a fan of the dynamic between Carlos and Eva Longoria's character. The petty rich people infighting is not very entertaining or funny. Teri Hatcher's romance with the British guy causes a lot of conflict and is one of the better story lines when combined with She-man and Mike's relationship. Bree's husband seems like a loony wife killing/beating psychopath yet he has assimilated well into Bree's family and taken the insane spoiled daughter's antics and the gay vindictive spoiled boy's sordid past in stride. That storyline doesn't seem in anyway plausible and the Mike rundown makes no sense that he'd stay in the area. Felicity Huffman's character is a complete overbearing shrew. She emasculates her dimwit husband and his juvenile dreams while drinking like a fish and "acting" like a good parent. In the previews for next week they showed that someone gets shot, please o please let it be Felicity Huffman's character, Kill her off!
  • This is by far the best episode of this season!

    Drinking on the porch seemed really fun after Susan, Lynette and Eva acted it out for us. The actresses did an awesome job. They portrayed very realistically without overoing it and making themselves look silly. I would like to name Tom as the Husband of the Year. It was very good of him to turn down Nora and kick her out of the rat hole. Lynette is my superwoman. I loved how she kicked down Nora's door. I would love to see she does what she did to Nora's front door to her spine, really! I laughed so hard when Susan said she wished Paul Young were still around to help her kill Edie. Speaking of Edie, I must say she's doing a very good job and totally defeating Susan, who is probably the ultimate symbol of a desperate housewife. She went back to Ian because there was no hope with Mike. Since she was always afraid of being single, she had to go find some guy, and there was Ian. Lucky for her Ian hadn't found anyone else and Jane hadn't woken up yet. As for Gabby.... Carlos outsmarted her. Need I say more? Ha!

    Almost everything in this episode was great. The Bree storyline was good esp. with Laurie Metcalf and how stunned Bree was when she saw the pictures of Alma.

    I loved the margarita bonding party and the aftereffects for each woman. I could have done without the typical Susan slapstick with her getting sick at Ian's big party, but I like Ian and I'm glad that he will be around for a while.

    As much as I like Carlos and Gaby I'm tired of their War of the Roses and hope it gets wrapped up soon. Hell hath no fury like Lynette on a rampage and she took care of Nora good and simple even with Kayla standing there.

    Best part was at the margarita party when Gavy had a confession and Susan asked which grade he was in.
  • A very good episode! We are defenitly back to season one quality.

    Wow, what can I say? After 5 ok episodes, this one totally blew me away. Everyone's storyline was amazing, I even liked Susan's, well, like is an understatement, I really enjoyed it. And for once, Ian and Nora didn't annoy me. There wasn't any Wisteria Lane teens tonight, which is good, because their storylines are getting somewhat tiresome. Everyone was enjoyable though, and like I said, every storyline was just immaculent. The next episode looks amazing as well, and I can't wait for it, especially since there's a 'big twist' headed for us. Gabrielle's storyline was great, Carlos really surprised me with him returning to his usual ways. I was kinda getting annoyed with him being a goodie-two shoes, but atleast he's fighting back at Gabrielle. She had it coming. Lynette and Nora was for once, enjoyable. I was estatic to find them in a fight, and Kayla actually had some lines, which was even better. Bree's was great. I really liked seeing the mystery progress more. I can't wait to see what this Monique person is up to, but whatever it is, she obviously wasn't a very modest person. Again, a wonderful episode. I hope the rest of season three can be this enjoyable!

    This was a fantastic episode. It really made me laugh quite a bit, and the mystery behind Monique is finally starting to take more shape. Plus, it serves as a great lead in to next week's episode. My favorite part above all else is when Lynette threatened Nora. "I'll do to your spine what I just did to your front door." PRICELESS Lynette moment. She rules!!!



    Looking forward to next week.
  • A great episode for a laugh.

    The best part of this episode was when Lanette kicked in the door to the tramp. I also loved the arc with carlos and gabrelle. I thought it was great how he played her into thinking he was getting a job worth millions. THen how she tried to seduce him to stay with her longer. After the night together, he confess and she pushes him out the window. That was great. Plus Susan making a fool of herself again. She goes over to the brits place and is totally trashed. He is having a party and she makes such a scene.

    Oh my God oh my god oh my god, is all i can say. This epsode was so fun to watch, i loved seeing susan, lynett, and gabby together drinking and talking about their problems. It was so great. Carols was so smart to fake the job thing to sleep with Gabby again, she deserved it. Bree found out about her husbands past, im glad she did. I gave this show a ten out of ten because it deserved it as always. God bless you DH, let the good times roll. I've said it before and i'll say it again, i bet greays can't do that.
