    Primero: 'Como juzgar a Gabrielle por ser tan egoista, celosa y atrevida cuando vemos que obviamente el modelo a seguir en su niez fue tan "interesante"? Antes es mejor agradecer que sali siendo un poco mejor que su propia madre. Mientras tanto el problema de Bree con el alcohol empeora y ella no se quiere dar cuenta. Lynette cumple su rol de mejor amiga en una forma casi perfecta. Susan se arriesga a volver con Karl, y Eddie se aferra a la idea de que le van a proponer, claro sin perder oportunidad de echarlo en cara a Susan, lo cual resulta poco conveniente.moreless

    Bree has to be one of my favourites in this series and Marcia Cross\'s performance is superb. With her husband murdered by her psychotic pharmacist who commited suicide and with two rather obnoxious children, Bree is beginning to spiral down into an emotional wreck, surpressing the emotions with alcohol.
    Her alcoholism has been subtlely introduced over the past few weeks, with many scenes including a prop of a glass in her hand.
    I just wanted to reach out to Bree in this episode and help her.
    Gabrielle's storyline this week was a little bit silly and I wasn't entirely convinced by the actress playing her mother.
    Edie's excitement over the assumed proposal was delightful yet painful to watch.
    All together, not the most outstanding episode to date, but certainly an important one.moreless

    A drunken Bree stumbles home and falls asleep on the lawn. Mrs McClusky tries to help her, and goes inside to tell Andrew. He looks at Bree and laughs, then turns on the sprinklers. Gabrielle and Carlos learn that she is most likely unable to conceive a child again because of complications caused from her recent accident. Susan and Karl marry so that she can get her health insurance for her operation, unbeknownst to Edie, who finds the ring and a prenuptial agreement and thinks Karl is going to propose to her. Gabrielle's mother comes to visit in the middle of her and Carlos' baby problems, and offers to be their surrogate. Gabrielle sees it as a way for her to stay in their lives, and she refuses. It is revealed that Gabby was sexually assaulted by her step father when she was fifteen, and her mother refused to believe her, thinking she was just jealous. Carlos then turns her away, and comforts his wife. Tom asks Mrs McClusky to baby-sit, much to Lynnette's displeasure, so she gets Bree instead. While looking after the kids, Bree stats drinking, and soon falls asleep. The boys get together and take baby Penny and end up miles away in a salon. Lynnette and Tom get a call and they go and pick their kids up. They arrive home to find a frantic Bree, who has awoken and had no idea where the children were. Lynnette asks her about it, and Bree lets her believe the boys just ran off. Later, while Lynnette is talking to Mrs McClusky, she reveals the incident that happened on the lawn. Lynette confronts Bree, who is shocked by her accusation and refuses to talk to her. Bree goes inside, and Lynnette goes through her trash and takes out all the wine bottles, lining them up on her doorstep with a note saying 'Do you think you have a problem?'.moreless

    The plotline of Edie and Susan is just hilarious, how can anyone make up this stuf? It is so funny and so great that only Desperate Housewives can be responsable for that. Bree who has an drinking problem isn\'t that great eventhough the rest of the episode is. Funny that she had to lie and that Lynette believed her. I found it very disturbing that the kids weren\'t getting mad! The love between Gabrielle and Carlos is growing, just the way is should! They are perfect for each other. Evenso, Thank You So Much isn\'t an excentric episode. It has the same quality as any other Desperate Housewive-episode; great plot-outlines, funny situations and good acting. Just the way I like it..

    ADD QUOTES
    • Bree: Well, I didn't wanna come here because I was afraid it would drudge up memories of my husband. This was our place. Rex passed away recently. He was, um, murdered by our pharmacist. Tony: Wow. I hope you changed pharmacists. Bree: I didn't have to. He committed suicide. Edit
    • Bree: For god sakes, it was an honest mistake. I thought I could have just a little bit of wine with dinner, but, apparently, my body couldn't handle it. Fine! If it makes everybody happy, I will just suffer through my sneezing fits and my hives on my own. There. Is that better? Andrew: So basically you would rather drink than to not have allergies? Edit
    • Mary Alice: Susan Mayer had always believed the punishment should fit the crime. She first came to this conclusion when she discovered her husband Karl had been unfaithful. Since Karl had destroyed the love she had given him, Susan felt it was only appropriate she destroy the things he loved in return one by one. But now, three years after their divorce, Susan was reunited with Karl once again as partners in a crime of their own. Yes, Susan Mayer believed the punishment should fit the crime. But for that matter, so did Karl. Edit
