Desperate Housewives

loved this episode as in true housewives fashion everything was wrappe up in a nice neat little package as the orson gloria saga comes to a dramatic end, the pizzeria finally opens its doors and there are two marriage proposals, this episode certainly was a great one it almost felt like to much was happening to quickly but i guess thats what made this episode so entertaining the only thing im concerned about now is that the mystery has been resolved and bree is leaving town where will the season go from herre

This is one of the finest episodes of Desperate Housewives, especially during season 3. Finally, we find out who killed Monique Polier, which was a relief to me. The final scenes between Dixie Carter and Orson Hodge are ones that are absolutely not to be missed. Also, the satisfaction of seeing Gloria Hodge get what she missed is completely worth it. Also, We learn that Ian isn't the absolute prince he appeared. The only drawback...we will not be seeing Marcia Cross for a few episodes. Finally, the whole Zack and Gabby storyline comes to an end, for which I was very grateful. Overall, this episode is not to be missed.

This episode was so amazing. It was very well written and entertaining to watch. This episode is one of the best episodes ever. When Alma fell off the roof, it looked like she would survive, being that she fell into the bushes. But she died. Gloria has been permanently paralyzed, which wraps up Orson's storyline. Orson and Bree finally get to go on that honeymoon they never got to go to. We also learn why Orson ran over Mike. It was such a good episode. It is definitely a series classic. It was one of the best episodes of the entire series.

The main story-line in this episode is the revealing of the Monique Pollier-mystery. At the beginning of this episode we discover who really killed Monique – Orson's mother and Orson was forced by her to cover her. We also discover why she walks with a cane: Orson pushed her in the grave she was digging for Monique. Later it is revealed, that he left his drunk father unattended one night and he killed himself. His mother blames him for that. Although Gloria told Alma to get Orson back now, Alma gave up and wants to warn Bree because Gloria is going to hurt her. She's locked by Gloria in the attic. Gloria convinces Danielle to bring her mother a poisoned soup and then leave, In a furious finale in Bree's house, Gloria tries to kill her like she killed her husband and is eventually stopped by Orson and Andrew. She suffers a stroke and is from now on paralysed. Orson on the other hand, can be a happy and free.

Apart from this main-storyline there are three other story-lines:

Gabrielle wakes up next to Zack not remembering last night but being told that the two has sex. Zack makes a lot of plans for them, even proposing to her but in the end she discovers that they didn't have sex after all.

Lynette and Tom are very nervous because the pizzeria's opening is tonight.

Ian finds out that Mike wanted to propose to Susan and is not pleased. Challenged by Mike's proven innocence he proposes to Susan and she accepts. As the summary of this episode is already very much I'm just going to say a few words. I LOVED this episode . I was totally bound to the TV and couldn't keep my eyes of it. The mystery was finally revealed and Orson's mother got her just punishment. Well, I guess it'll be hard for the writers to come up with an even better story than this one. Just great.

Great and funny episode!! Gabrielle wakes up to Zach by her and he faked that they had sex when they really didn't. Gabrielle gets Carlos to tell Zach to back off but when they are in the bathroom and Carlos sees his thing then he knows Gabrielle would of remembered and thats when Zach admits the truth. The other part I liked when Carlos came to Gabby's house and asked why Zach was there and then why he left her house in 7:00 in the morning in his underwear. I so cracker up during those parts. Ian proposes to Susan!! Yay! But bad idea for Zach, he does the same to Gabby and everyone starts clapping! Ah this episode was so great!

I've liked this season a lot, it has some of the greatest comedy, action of this serie, but during this season I hadn't found an episode so espectacular, until I saw this episode.

One of my favorite characters in DH is Orson, I think Kyle and Marica Cross are so good in their roles that I think they are actually married, I didn't like Bree's character in the first season, I found her not the best actor, but I think that was because Rex and Bree were a non-credible couple for me, but now that she is with Orson, I think of Bree as my favorite character oh Desperate Housewives.

This episode was the climax of all the secret past of Orson and the end of Orson's mom and Alma. Orson is has a happy life for a change!!!

because of this kind of episodes I love this serie, I'm very sad because marcia cross is leaving in this episode because she's my favorite character, but anyway, I'm sure she'll come back, without her this won't be the same, anyway I still love this serie, I can't miss any episode of this serie

This episode was very predictable. The beginning of the episode was very show, the ending was much better and made the episode seen good. Finally Orson's Evil mother is out of the picture and so is the woman Olma. I'm glad the Pizzaria was a sucess but i thought the whole Zack story was pointless. This season is turning out to be the best so far in terms of stories. I hope that the show stays at this good level. They have to stop people falling off roofs but other than this this show is very good. Looking forward to the next episode.

The second best Housewives to date. Just behind BANG! This episode had so many twists that i didn't see coming. Alma dieing, although shocking, was a little funny! lol. And Andrew was so great... even when getting his face smashed by his gran! But the end was beautiful! Orson isn't the baddie we thought, well, I thought... except for running Mike over... which I'm still not 100% clear why he did it. But anyway... SO GOOD! What are they gonna do for the rest of the season? It better be good! Lets have some more BANG-type episodes... Lets burn Susan's house again... Give Andrew a boy-friend who gets involved with Danielle (lol)... Lets get Gabby and Carlos together... and lets cut Zach's hair.

Peace.

It was really great! In this episode you can see what really happend with Monique Polier. And it's really interesting ^^ This episode is full of drama. It's the best for the season. First of all, Bree. This is the final episode for Marcia Cross before she gets maternity leave. And it's something like final episod for Bree, too. All the secrets of Orson are revealed and now he and Bree can really live happily ever after ^^ Then comes Susan. She is pretty happy in this one. She finally has man, who loves her a lot and wants to spend his life whit her. And maybe this man is not one :) Lynette has some troubles in this episode. But, it's Lynette - you now that she can deal with everything ^^ In the end she and Tom open the pizzeria and they are bouth happy :) Gabrielle also has some problems. But she discovers truth and she's finally free form that psycho Zach. Did I mention that I LOVE this episode? ^^

This episode continuse from Orson falling from the roof of the hospital, suprisingly he actually doesn't die. The Scavos Pizzaria is finally opening.

Alma tries to escape from the attic she was locked in by Gloria but ends up falling from the roof and dieing. Orsons mother has a plan to kill Bree the same way she killed Orson's father "drown her", while Bree is on bedrest Gloria stops by and offers to mind Bree, instead of Daniell minding her which is what Andrew wanted her to do, while he was at Scavos Pizzaria. Gloria druges Bree and then she tries to drown her in the bath, but Andrew rushes back home for Bree and Gloria hits him leaving him unconsious, Orson then leaves the hospital and goes home to save Bree !! Orson hits Gloria alot and she ends up having a stroke. Orson then leaves her beside Almas house but then finds Alma dead. so he hatches a plan to leave Gloria there with this dead body and hopefuly some astonished neighbour will ring the police and the police will find a paralised woman called "Gloria" and a dead woman called " Alma". Orson is more than happy that his mother is paralised and she also cant speak so he dosen't have to worry about her telling any secrets of his and hers !!

Mary Alice: “Yes, Orson Hodge had always assumed that his life would flash before his eyes the moment before he died. Luckily for Orson, that moment was not scheduled for today”.



Imagine one of the goofier cold opens of an episode of Six Feet Under in reverse and in some ways that is more or less how Orson survives dropping nearly ten stories, along with the help of some conveniently placed trees. The slow motion could have killed the suspense of Orson’s fate but oddly it didn’t.



With Orson alive, Mike doesn’t have to worry about being involved in another death that wasn’t his fault even if he isn’t jumping from the rooftops when Carlos tells him that he survived quite a fall. I like that Carlos is actually being a friend to Mike as opposed to just sponging off him and I probably should’ve mentioned that in a few reviews beforehand. It seems on the other hand, Orson might be in short supply of people on his side because not only is Andrew still doubtful of his innocence but it takes very little convincing for Bree to start wondering whether or not she’d hooked herself another psycho and after all the stuff that Orson has told her, you can’t blame her for having concerns that anyone in their right mind would have too.



Bree’s doubts even extend to her telling Susan how she can exonerate Mike, which obviously thrills Ian even more than Susan. Just kidding – Ian is still jealous of Mike and when there’s a mix up between Mike and Jane’s belongings, Ian uses it to his advantage but I’ll discuss that a bit later into the review.



With everyone doubting Orson, we the audience really don’t have to because in less than three minutes into the episode, Monique’s killer is revealed to be Gloria and in fairness with the crazy **** she’s been pulling, is anyone that surprised? I wasn’t but because I had already guessed it was Gloria that didn’t mean that this plot didn’t get better and better because it certainly wasn’t lacking solid drama.



So how did dear old Gloria do in her son’s mistress? Well Watson after too many episodes of The Sopranos, Gloria just bashed Monique’s head with Mike’s wrench and hid as Orson got rid of the plumber. It’s a good thing that Mike did leave when he did or else there would’ve been two graves being dug up that night. You could just imagine what Gloria’s warped little mind was thinking as Orson was obviously trying to get Mike out of there.



Killing Monique is bad enough but aside from the woman sleeping with Orson, Gloria really had little to no incentive to do her in as not only did Orson admit his affair to Alma but he was also delighted when she was leaving and also, what the hell did Orson’s marriage have to with his mother anyway?



Not content with also killing an innocent woman, Gloria used emotional blackmail to stop Orson from calling the cops on her ass and even pulled Monique’s teeth out so she couldn’t be identified via dental records and trust me, Orson wasn’t the only one disgusted with the sheer callousness of his mum’s actions.



This has to be the moment in which Orson truly hated his mother because while they always seemed to have a tempestuous relationship, I think when Gloria slipped into Monique’s grave and put her hip out, Orson seriously had to stop himself from burying her alive. I kept hoping he would because Gloria is one evil ****



Also Gloria is the very reason as to why Orson had a spell in a psychiatric hospital and had issues with suicide because even though we know pretty early on that Orson wasn’t responsible for his father topping himself all those years, Gloria made sure that he was made to feel as if it was his fault and that is a seriously rotten thing to do to another person. Orson clearly loved his father even if Gloria eventually went on to hating him.



The flipside of having his life saved is that Orson’s history is used by the doctor’s as an incentive to keep him in hospital and away from Bree. The doctors jumped to the assumption that he was trying to kill him and Orson refusing to open up about his past didn’t help matters for him, especially when Gloria decided to broaden her horizons and inflict more of her special brand of misery with both Alma and Bree as recipients.



All those weeks ago, Alma and Gloria were as thick as thieves plotting to separate both Bree and Orson and going to the lengths as date rape and blackmail were no problem to either of them. These actions have made them dislikeable but effective and at the end of the day, effective is what really counts and as fans of the series, you’re unlikely to forget these two for a while to come.



However things quickly soured when Alma finally realised that she could carry a baby and Orson still wouldn’t want anything to do with her and so she decided to give up, only for Gloria to lock her up in her own home. Although Alma doesn’t get redemption at least she maintained her stance about giving up on winning Orson back when Gloria more or less mentioned how she would deal with Bree.



Showing a conscience Alma managed to find a window and got out of her window, hopefully to warn Bree but sadly for Alma, Danielle’s inability to hear someone calling for a minor distance and slipping off her own roof proved to be her undoing.



It’s funny that Orson can fall out of a hospital roof and survive with a few scratches but Alma fell from a much smaller height and she’s done for. Don’t worry I don’t plan to shed tears for Alma but it is further proof that being associated with a Grade A nut job is seriously bad for your mortality but even if she is the Angel of Death, Gloria’s luck has just ran out.



Making Orson believe he was to blame for his Dad’s death when she was the real killer (like that’s surprising) and offing his mistress were bad enough but trying to kill Bree after causing her that accident with the ladder last week was third time unlucky and boy, short of getting Dexter Morgan onto her, I did enjoy Gloria’s comedown in more ways that one.



She very nearly got there with drugging, trying to drown and slit Bree’s wrists and she was able to dispatch of Andrew with a quick belt of a golf club and even put up a fight with Orson but at the end of the day, Gloria’s arrogance because her undoing.



Not only did Orson save Bree and assaulted Gloria but the evil hag got a stroke so severe, she’s virtually paralysed and Orson takes great pleasure in not only promising Bree that him and her will have the honeymoon they promised over half a season ago but also in telling Gloria that she can no longer control his life.



As a comeuppance goes, Gloria’s is pretty sweet and while I would’ve preferred that she had died a violent death and hope she never recovers from her state, the fact she no longer wields power of Orson is great for him and everyone in his life and it’s nice that Alma’s death is used as a means of giving the police a killer for Monique and freedom for Mike. The only question now is what else can be done with Orson and Bree because as a couple I seriously want them to go the distance.



Unlike Ian, who I would prefer to take a plane back to London and maybe never return. Insecurity motivates people into doing rash things and Ian nicking the very engagement ring that Mike had for Susan and then proposing to Susan in front of Mike speaks volumes about Ian as a person. Of course Susan makes it worse by accepting and asking like a spoiled brat when Mike refused to tell her about his beef with Orson. Wake up, Susan you can’t have it both ways!



If Ian’s proposal didn’t make you want to hurl then one I guarantee will having reaching for the sick bucket is Zach trying his luck with Gabby. Tom might need to put some form of a rule in his restaurant – no proposals or cheating revelations!



Yeah, the whole Gabby and Zach thing trundles along this week when Gabby thinks she’s slept with him but can’t remember and she can’t necessarily dump him because Zach is clever enough to use emotional blackmail on her by mentioning Mary Alice. Um, Gabby do you think one of your formerly alive friends would be happy that you’re dating his son? I don’t think so either!



However Gabby always has a Plan B and that involves Carlos trying to scare Zach into dumping her but when Carlos finds out in his own unconventional way that Zach only lied about sleeping with Gabby, she more or less has the incentive to dump him guilt free, thereby putting an end to Cody Kasch’s pointless reappearance this season because after all being alone is more appealing than having Zach Young as a lover.



There’s also a wonderful moment between Gabrielle and Carlos that makes me understand why so many viewers ship them as a couple. It’s a bit like the one they had in “No Fits, No Fights, No Feuds” because Carlos more or less tells Gabby that moving on from her is hard and her response, though not entirely sensitive does indicate that she needs and maybe wants him more than she believes she does.



The least interesting part of this episode this week is the opening of Tom’s pizza parlour and the anxiety that follows it with Lynette getting the wrong order of chairs and being forced to improvise when she isn’t ensuring that Austin pulls his weight and trying to undermine delivery men.



Although the pair do make up during the opening with a sense of genuine feeling between them, you do have to wonder why they are working together. This was one minor mix up but if something serious happens, then how will Tom handle it and similarly what will Lynette do to help rather than dictate?



The opening is a predicted success but the only person outside of the Scavos who deems a speech is Edie in a priceless moment where she delights in Tom’s food and Austin not getting fired and luckily for us, Edie is set to get more to do in the next nine weeks because as fun as her little moment here is, I’m sick of Nicolette Sheridan not getting as much to do as the other housewives, even if this season has given Edie a few storylines.



Also in “The Little Things You Do Together”



Husband of the week: This week we got Orson’s POV on the night that Monique died, coupled with him surviving that fall.



Orson (re Monique): “I loved her”

Gloria: “And I lost someone I loved once, thanks to you”.



I just noticed that this is at least the third episode in a row told from a male perspective, which is cool given that next week will be all about the men of Wisteria Lane.



Tom: “You were hitting people”

Lynette: “Only two and the mailman has the good taste never to bring that up”.



Carlos: “Orson’s gonna pull through or would you rather he didn’t?”

Mike: “No”.



We learned that Orson was in a mental institution when he was 16 back in 1976, making him at least 47 in the present. We also learned his father cheated on Gloria, suffered public shame and developed depression as a result.



Gabrielle (re her “night” with Zach): “At least I think we did. That’s what he told me”

Carlos: “Weren’t you there?”



Gabrielle: “Where are you going?”

Carlos: “To warn the Scavo boys”.



Isn’t it slightly annoying that when both Zach and Paul reappeared this season that Mary Alice was either pretty non-vocal about them expressed no personal love or concern or opinion about their actions?



Tom: “What can I say, Lynette, it is what it is”.



I noticed the nurse who didn’t believe that Susan was Mike’s girlfriend in “Nice She Ain’t” had nothing to say to her when she and Ian went to collect Jane’s stuff. I’m surprised we haven’t seen Nurse Heisel this season though.



Andrew: “For once in your life can’t you be responsible?”

Danielle: “I liked you better when you were a psychopath”.



Did anyone else want to bop Danielle when she said she was meeting Austin for booze? The girl clearly doesn’t care that she hurt Julie.



Mike: “It’s complicated”

Susan: “It always is with you”.



Edie (to Tom): “You did it; there are a lot of people in this room that didn’t think you could pull it off. Okay, well maybe just me. Anyway, congratulations! The pizza is excellent and the service is sublime. Cheers!”



Not to be dense but has Tom actually given his place a name? He didn’t mention one once during the opening of the place, which I found pretty strange.



Lynette: “I think what my husband is trying to say is if you want to test a marriage, open up a restaurant”.



Gabrielle: “Well hold in there as long as you can because I still need you”

Carlos: “I’ll do my best”.



I had to laugh at how Carlos was able to convince that Gabby that Zach didn’t sleep with her after all. Ricardo Antonio Chavira pulls of the comedics pretty well.



Gloria: “I think I’m having a stroke”

Orson: “You need an ambulance, Mother. Too bad there’s no-one here who would even dream of calling you one”.



Chronology: Mere seconds after “I Remember That”.



“The Little Things You Do Together” is written like and most definitely comes across as a season finale as well as a sweeps episode. The entire Monique saga is nicely wrapped and dare I say that the resolution is far more satisfying than either the Mary Alice or Applewhites saga were? It’ll be interesting to see what’s in store for the remainder of this season.

Fanatastic episode! I already had an idea that Gloria killed Monique but the reason why was so compelling and well thought out. Even though I think the writers have changd this mystery so many times, it had a great agenda to it. I was hoping for some cliffhangers and to get an answer of why Orson ran over Mike. I know he wanted to protect himself from going to jail but there was still no clear answer. Gabby's storyline was funny and I'm glad Zach isn't around anymore. That storylone was fun but a little useless unless Zach will make his was into Wisteria Lane again. Susan's storyline was a little bland but yet enjoyable and heartbreaking at the same time to see her engaged to Ian. Tom and lYnette have a good storyline as they get in a fight but end up being happy and supportive. I can't wait for tonight! It will be interesting to see a male-centric episode narrated by Rex. Hope you'll tune in as well.

Wow this was a great episode to watch! I'm glad that Orson's annoying ex wife and mother are out of the picture! I miss Mike and Susan together, but I think he will remember soon and win her back! I like the british guy but Susan still loves Mike deep down inside. Gabrielle needs to either get back with her ex husband or leave him alone. Lynette is always bailing her husband out, but finally he is stepping up to being a man. I love Bree!!!!!! She is awesome and Edie sucks! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Mike is sexy!

I am so glad that this is one of the shows that I watch religously. If you don't watch an episode or two you wouldn't know what was going on.

I was on the edge of my seat half the show. I was lead to beleive that it was Orson who murdered the lady that Mike was being blamed for. But at the same time I wasn't shocked when it turned out to be Orsons mother as the murderer. She looked and acted like a you know what! I was on the edge of my seat when Bree's kids were out of the house and Orson's mom came over and tried to kill her. I thought that Bree was a goner. It was exciting.

I had laughed the hardest when Gabrielle thought she slept with Zach. That was priceless. For future episodes I hope that Gabrielle gets back with Carlos!

I will never stop watching this show.

If this show wasn't planned out then their writers are genius! They wrapped up so many loose ends and explained the story lines so completely that watching was a pleasure! I love that Orson is not the shadowy monster than was poked at since the second season (other than hitting Mike with the car - Bad Orson!) In one swoop we solve some mysteries and write-off the baby guys (or gals as it would so be). I'm love that Andrew is now a doting son - it's about time. Awesome he tried to save his mom from the mean old granny! And Marcia Cross was great as bedridden - what else could she do? (congrats on the new babies!) While I'm not pleased with Tom Scavo's insecurities or his need to belittle his wife in front of staff to make himself seem in control (doesn't he know that a tantrum shows someone out of control) it was nice to see them working together and that the restaurant was a smashing success. Poor Zach is crushed by Gabby but what did the kid expect? My heart did a little flip when Carlos said that he didn't know how long he would be able to keep just being Gabby's friend wither... does this mean that he wants to get away and start again or that he misses her and wants her back? My flipping heart is hoping for the latter of course.



Let's see how Susan can screw up the incredibly romantic proposal that Ian gave in front of everyone. She was awful quick to brush Mike off, especially considering everything they have been through together. What will happen when she (and he) finds out he was going to propose the night he was mowed down in the street?



So many answers and so many new questions - this is such a great show!

I was so excited about this show. It surpassed my expatiations. Im ready to see what they will do next. The previews look extra juicy for the next new episode. I hate that there are so many breaks between new episodes. This is by far the best season, in my option. As usual, Mary lace was amazing, she should be nominated for an Emmy for best narration. This show just gets better and better. I can’t wait to see Edie’s son. And I can’t wait to see where Eddi’s character goes from here. I love Dh. Very good epsode. One of the best

I think that with this brilliant episode sorta of a "subseason" ended...it seems that Orson and Bree's trouble are dead with Alma and Gloria: their storyline was really the most important of this season, so what's next?

It was a very exciting episode, and the way authors organized a couple of dramatic turn of events (the truth about Orson's father's death, the final confrontation between mother and son) was intelligent and well thought...I'm just a bit sorry about Alma, I started liking her in the past episodes, but I really can't think of another way of getting rid of her.

Gabrielle and Zach's relationship turned the way I wished from the start it should have, and I'm very very happy about it, they even managed to put some humorism with the bathroom scene with Carlos (hope it will win Gaby's love again soon) and the "long-haired" boy (what a silly character, I'll never get tired of repeating this).

Lynette and Tom are having a good time and it seems that Ian and Susan will soon get married, even with Mike near...

There are a couple of things that could be developed: Art's escape and Lynette relationship with Kayla...it's not enough though, maybe they'll leave more space to Edie now that Bree (Marcia Cross is sooooo pregnant....) is out of the game for a while.

I'm very curious, let's see a new beginning for this DH season!

This episode is great, alot happens. We get to see orsons past and the mysteries are solved. I'm still not quite sure why orson ran over mike, maybe that will be explained.

The situation with zack and gabrielle is a great story to be built on.Theres alot of action with orsons mother in law andrew and orson.I'm not sure if the scenario that orson explains at the end really happened or if he just expects it to happen. This episode is exactly why I like this show, there are always new things happening that keep you on the edge of your seat.

This was a good episode, all the characters had a good part, I thought the person that played Orson's mum did so very well. I just thought after quite a lenghty mystery it was solved a bit too quickly, what are they going to do next? I have to say that this season has been a very good one.

Also the person who was standing with Orson in the sunset etc (the future bit), at the end, was so oviously not Bree, LoL. I look forward to the upcoming episodes, but why do they have to take ANOTHER BREAK ?

At the end of the episode, everything seems just fine - Orson's flashback on his bright future, not the past - all the desperation and sorrows are likely all gone.



But I myself do not like the story line in this season so much, Mother Hodge plays like an absolutely evil character, who does not show a multi-dimentional personality - unlike Ms Applewhite in Season 2 (which maybe did not received many good comments), who is cruel and meanwhile shows much feeling of a kind MOTHER.



This episode can even be regarded as the whole ending of the TV series ...lol.



I cannot help thinking if there is no death, no blood affairs, no murdering, what can be the source of desperation? The trifle tiny daily life, which Orsan looking forward to, can even be described as the source of happiness.

It is also the setting for the rest of the season, which will probably focus on Susan and Ian's engagement, and a possible reunion with Mike.



Not that I really like Susan anymore after this episode. She shouldn't have treated Mike like that. The man who charged with a murder he did not commit after getting hit by a car. Susan finds out he's innocent and what does she do? She gets mad at him for his involvement in Orson's fall. That's what I hate about Mike and Susan - they never explain anything to each other. They get pissed at stupid things and missunderstandings... So yeah, Susan belongs with an annoying man like Ian. Mike should move on!



Monique's killer was exposed in this episode. Gloria. Was it shocking? Not really, I've seen it coming, but I admit I wasn't sure if it was her, Alma or Orson. As it turns out, it was Gloria all along, cuz "the church does not allow cheating". Or whatever. Dixie Carter was good in this episode, and don't forget it's hard playing such a role when you have to kill a woman who's laying in bed and carries twins. Off record of course. Bree couldn't really walk around or be active, so all she could do is lay in bed and act miserable while her son tried to protect her from her husband, and her mother in law tried to kill her. Bree is usually my fave character, but in this episode - and I know it's the hidden pregnancy - she's doing nothing more then lay there and look pretty. As for Tom and Lynette - that couple is getting on my nerves. Seems like since the pizzeria idea was brought up, Tom is busy proving he's worth more then his wife ever did, while she's busy being a control freak like she does best. Last week Tom yelled at her infront of his workers because she was mad he rehired Austin? Well, this week he got all touchy when she messed up with the chairs. He's trying too hard to prove that he's not checking his balls at the door anymore. And I hate that.



I loved Gabrielle, Carlos and Zack in this episode! First, her reaction when she saw Zack in her bed. It was pricless. Second - Carlos reaction to the all situation. Trying to stay out of his ex wife's love life, but then stepping in to help her out of this mess, and finally admitting to her that he won't be able to be her friend for much longer. It was beautiful, well written and even better acted. Carlos and Gabi are officially my favourite couple after watching this episode. So what's next? With Monique's murder puzzle solved, I guess the rest of the season will focus on the Susan/Ian/Mike triangle, Edie will be more in the center with Bree off the picture, Tom and Lynette will face a big test to their marriage and Gabrielle and Carlos will keep the fire going. I can't wait to see how those stories will develop!

It is also the setting for the rest of the season, which will probably focus on Susan and Ian's engagement, and a possible reunion with Mike.

With Monique's murder puzzle solved, I guess the rest of the season will focus on the Susan/Ian/Mike triangle, Edie will be more in the center with Bree off the picture, Tom and Lynette will face a big test to their marriage and Gabrielle and Carlos will keep the fire going. I can't wait to see how those stories will develop!

I haven't watched this show in awhile so I tuned back in and wow, nothing's changed. Dead bodies that need to be chopped up and disposed of, a weird older woman (used to be Harriet Harris, now it's Dixie Carter) and more and more Botox in the women's faces. All I could think of was the Mad TV spoof on Youtube. One thing that has changed is it's not funny or clever anymore, which is what set it apart from other shows. And I'm sorry but I can not STAND the voice of the woman who does the narration, it's like she's speaking to the brain-dead. So relieved to hear they're going to give the job to Rex next week. Now there's a dead person I wouldn't mind listening to.

We finally discover what happened to Monique. Gloria killed her the nigth Mike came. After Mike left to buy the missing parts she came and killed Monique and then Orson came and he had to cover the tracks because of what he did to Gloria long time ago. His father killed himself and Gloria blames Orson for that.

Bree tells Susan everything. Susan accepts marriage proposal with Ian. Mike is sad because of that. Lynette and Tom have another marriage problem because of the pizzeria. Gabrielle breaks everything up with Zack. Fantastic episode. Better then any episode of Season 1 and 2 but still can't beat Bang. :D

A lot of excitement. At last we know the whole truth about Orsons past. His psycho-mother killed her husband by faking his suicide, made Orson feel guilty about that, killed Monique and finally tried to kill Bree.

Andrew has become a great son (is this normal?).

Ian finds out about Mike wanting to propose to Susan before his accident and proposes to her at the Scavo opening evening. Poor Mike.

Carlos is still in love with Gabrielle. I hope they will get together again. Tom is really the boss in his restaurant. This is new since Lynette was always the strong person in their couple. I think Edie will try to seduce Tom. That would spice the show up again a little bit. Zack is a real freak and now that Gaby has put him off clearly I'm sure he will do some crazy things in the next episodes.

Here in France my daughters and I cannot wait every week till the next episode. We just adore Desperate housewives.

Holy Moly! What An Episode ! WOW! It Blew Me Away! My God .. Hahahah .. I'm Still Trying To Digest What Just Happened! I Always Hated Orson, Since The Day He Came To Wisteria Lane, I Just Hated His Guts. But All This Time, I Misjudged Him! Its Was His Mother, Mama Hodge, Who Was Behind Everything After All! Don’t Get Me Wrong, I Hated Her Before, But Now I ABHOR Her! God, Who Would Do That To Their Son? To Their Only Son? Man, She's Really Crazy! Killing Her Husband And Tormenting Her Son! Ouch! It Was Really Kind Of Orson To Let Her Off That Easy! Yes That Orson, What A Man! Finally, Bree Gets Happiness In Her Life! She Deserves It! Speaking Of Bree, I'm So Happy That Bree And Susan Are Friends Again! Yaaaay! And Susan Finally Finding Out That Mike Was Innocent! That Made Me Happy (For Like A Second) .. For Then She Heard Mike Confess To Carlos That He Might Be Involved In Murdering Orson! Aaah! She Was So Close To Talking To Him And Being There For Him, And Yet So Far! And IAN Finding Mike's Engagement Ring! Aaah! I Was So Mad That He Didn’t Tell Susan (obviously), But Then When He Proposed, I Was Furious! I Was Like Nooo, That's Not Supposed To Happen! Mike And Susan Should End Up Together! Siigh .. I Miss Watching Them ! .. Hopefully, Something's Going To Happen Later In The Season .. I Mean, It Has To, Right?! :O

There is something special about "Desperate Housewives" that no other show can brag about. The ironic sub-ubrian life in which nothing is left out combined with truly outstanding actors make this show uniqe. And it truly is!



This episode was extremely good. A lot of things happened, a lot of things was revealed and a lot of things went down the barrel! This episode was exciting, funny and informative, and most likely up there amongst the best episodes that has aired in the "Desperate Housewives" series.



The only question I am sitting back with, however, is where now? Almost everything the previous episodes has buildt up to has happened. So what will happen now?

This episode was so amazing. It was very well written and entertaining to watch. This episode is one of the best episodes ever. When Alma fell off the roof, it looked like she would survive, being that she fell into the bushes. But she died. Gloria has been permanently paralyzed, which wraps up Orson's storyline. Orson and Bree finally get to go on that honeymoon they never got to go to. We also learn why Orson ran over Mike. It was such a good episode. It is definately a series classic. It was one of the best episodes of the entire series.

This episode was so good. Two proposels and murder. The proposels were so funny. Susan and her pizza and the whole Zach thing was so funny. He lied to Gabby about sleeping with her then she crushed him. The pizaria opened with a sucess and unmatched chairs. Gloria killed her husband when Orsen was young and blamed him. Now she tries to do the same with Bree. She also killed Monique. Alma falls off the roof and Gloria has a stroke. It was so funny because Gloria got what she deserved. This was such an exciting episode.
