Desperate Housewives

This was another great episode from desperaten housewives dseason 4 is quicky becoming the best season so far.

All the storylines this week were funny i thought orson and bree disagreeing over benjamen was pretty funny

susan discovers that mike has a drug problem

Gaby had a entertaining storyine with victor this week as her and carlos knock him off board now the question is has victor survived or has gaby and carlous killed him katherine had a good storyline this week as dylan wants to find out about her father the scene were we discover the blank piece of paper was amazing

overall another good one, desperate housewives realy is on top form at the moment and better then it has ever been

Funny, Funny and Funny, Gabbie and Victor on the boat and she kept hitting him with the fishing pole. I couldn't stop laughing that I had to pause my tv. But a great episode and I can't wait till everything comes out into the open and Susan's Daughter's friend finds that paper and find out what really happened to her in that house and find out what really happened to her father. They probably killed him or something but the girls mother is a good faker and things will turn on her they always do on westeria lane. I feel bad for Gabbie and Carlos things are gonna get bad for them now and all they wanted to do was be together and now they might go to jail.

A disappointing episode from the housewives this week probably my least favourite of the season so far. After a strong episode last week in which Lynnette, Bree's and Edie's storylines had come to a relative close, this week saw some slightly frivolous stories come into play. Whilst all the stories were entertaining enough to watch some of the conclusions were a little weak.



I enjoyed Bree's storyline, the debate over circumcision was interesting and I loved Bree's attempts to get what she wants. It was a little disappointing however that it took a sudden turn into the underlying reason being that this isn't actually Orson's child. Whilst this issue surely had to be addressed, I felt there could have been a better storyline to lead up to this.



Susan's discovery of Mike's addiction had me worried near the end that it was going to turn out that Mike wasn't addicted and that he was really actually doing this to earn money. The final scene with him trying to get the drugs from the drain (yuck!) was good though and makes for a much more interesting storyline



Now that Lynette's cancer has gone, it was time for her to have a lighter storyline. Now I have to say I don't always love Lynette's humorous plots. She is so much better suited to the drama, and her humorous stories always make her seem much more desperate and juvenile than the other housewives who seem to pull off the ridiculous a little better.

While I thought Lynnette's sisters were hilarious (why haven't we seen them before? It's a real shame) the fight over who should take their mother was played out completely childishly. First of all arguing in front of their mother was completely unnecessary and unfair. Secondly, Lynette is showing complete ingratitude in chucking her mother out. Her mother really looked after her these last few months and its unfair for Lynette to chuck her out now she's better (though I do understand her annoyance with her) When her sisters claim that they don't care for their mother enough to look after her, Lynnette's emotional act of bravery here rung little hollow. She has only been with her mother for a few months whereas her sisters had her for 1/2 years and therefore have more of a reason to not want to look after her.



Katherine's mystery is growing deeper and deeper. She is keeping up the story of her husband abusing her even to her daughter with a convincing display of emotion, so if he didn't abuse her, than what did the husband/Katherine do in their past?



Finally Gabby's story has to be the most ridiculous of all. This whole affair thing was funny for a while, but Gabby's to-ing and fro-ing was getting dull so it was good that he found out. Now I know they want Gabby and Carlos to get together and therefore they need to write Victor out but did they really need to do that faux killing?? Its ridiculous especially considering they'll hardly send one of their lead housewives to jail so its unlikely that he actually dead. The whole storyline is just stupid and hopefully it will get quickly resolved in the next episode.



Overall an average episode of the show, hopefully it will pick up with the next episode.

Wow, this season is just too good. Lynette's sisters Lydia and Lucy come to visit. While having dinner with Susan and Mike, Bree and Orson realize they share different views on whether their newborn baby should be circumcised. On a boat, Victor confronts Gaby about her affair with Carlos and she throws him into the ocean. Later, Bree informs Susan that she thinks Mike is addicted to drugs. I loved the scene when Lynette was putting her mother's things in her sister's car. I also loved when Bree made the Mohel circumcise Benjamin. LMAO I love Bree. Great plot with Gabby, too. 10/10.

Bree (to Susan): "Addicts are good at deception. My advice to you is trust but verify".



Tell me something I don't know. On this show just about everyone lies as easy as they breathe, maybe even a little easier to for good measure. All the plotlines here are drenched in some form deceit and while this episode isn't a classic, it's still an entertaining hour to behold.



First in the lying awards goes to Mike. So far this season him and Susan have been the only couple with a clean slate. They haven't adulterous like the Edie/Carlos/Gabrielle/Victor quadrangle, riddled with cancer like Lynette/Tom or faking pregnancies like Bree/Orson. No, they've been perfectly content with one another.



In fact you could argue that they've been so happy, it's almost record breaking for the pair. Well, now that we're into our seventh episode of the season, it's time for much needed drama when Mike's renewed drug addiction threatens the not so long marriage of him and Susan.



In the previous episode, Susan got a harsh wake up call from Nick about Mike and because Susan tends to have her head in the clouds 90% of the time anyway, she chose to ignore it. Which for Mike definitely had to have made being a drug addict both easy and frustrating at the same time.



So why is Mike back on drugs? It seems the stress of imminent parenthood is the main reason behind. Mike's needs to make ends meat was touched on last season when he was determined to give Susan a lavish wedding and relapse is totally a possibly for anyone with a serious addiction.



There's just one problem – aside from the money issue, a part of this plot does feel a little rushed. I'm all for anything that gives Mike a bit of grey area because in spite of James Denton's acting skills, Mike comes across as being a lot more real that oh so, McDreamy or Robert McCallister but perhaps the drug thing should've been a little more gradual.



Probably the most interesting thing about the plot is that it's Bree who became privy to Mike's addiction and not Susan. One of the successes with certain episodes is getting characters slightly involved in the goings on with other characters that they don't often interact with. Maybe my memory is failing but Bree and Mike haven't exactly had a lot of scenes together, which is why her involvement works here.



Bree spotted Mike acting suspicious enough and was wary when he told her that the pills were for the pain he suffered due to being knocked down. Okay, so Mike wasn't lying there but he was taking more pills than required and Bree's abilities to smell a rat was superb on that score.



Instead of being a judgemental harpie about it, Bree did the decent thing and warned Susan. There was no malice or a sense or moral satisfaction, just concern for a friend and the very thing you would do yourself in a similar situation. Susan at least had the brain cells to take Bree's advice on board.



The annoying thing is that Susan then got made to look like a dummy by believing Mike. I know Susan lacks self-awareness as a person but given how unconvincing a liar Mike seems to have become, perhaps Susan should get her head. Even Bree had to shake some reality into her but pointing out an obvious thing about addicts.



Bree's method of doing this is hilarious but she is vindicated when Susan actually finds Mike's stash and has it out with him. This scene I did enjoy but I sided more with Susan than Mike. I got that he felt the pressure to be a provider but even still going back to drugs wasn't a smart move.



The only thing that undermines this plot is that Mike then manages to get Susan to believe he can quit cold turkey. Most smokers and alcoholics can't quit cold turkey, so I don't a drug addict is able to do the same thing. Naturally Susan is a little too quick to believe him and it's way too obvious that Mike was still using without the inclusion of the last scene to back it up.



Another person who is top notch in the lying department is Bree. Over the years she's covered up two hit and runs, found ways of lying about her deceptive children and now is happy to pretend that her grandson is actually her own son. To Bree, things like this make perfect sense but to everyone else, the woman's just a nutter.



A funny thing is that Bree has also her mirror self in Orson. Okay, he's possibly a lot more saner than Bree but if ever there was a perfect match, it's certainly these two. That being said, even two peas in a pod like Bree and Orson can have very different opinions on things and this week both of them conflict over circumcising Benjamin.



Basically Bree is all for having her baby boy snipped in the neither regions and Orson thinks there is nothing wrong with a little foreskin. The fact that he also had a bad experience himself when he got circumcised also plays a part. To keep things simple, I have to admit that I do side with Orson on this one.



Once again, part of Bree's reasoning for circumcision is down to appearances and in fairness, I don't necessarily feel she is a qualified party to make that decision. A part of her might have Benjamin's best interests at heart but once again, it's her own selfish needs that she puts first.



At least Orson is smart enough to try and combat Bree over getting their son circumcised. The letters to the various doctors and hospitals, followed by the wry observation about how well he knows his wife made me laugh. Even Bree couldn't deny Orson's perceptiveness.



It would've been nice if Bree had the respect for Orson to leave it there but sadly she didn't. Instead she decided to raid a Bris and managed to swindle the Rabbi into doing the snip on Benjamin even though she knew it would pissed off Orson. Even after Orson expressed his upset over Bree's actions, she did dismiss his feelings. Heck not even allowing Orson to hold Benjamin is much of an apology. Bree I am very disappointed with you this week.



Also disappointing but inevitable was the departure of Stella. I suppose I should be grateful that she has gotten to last much longer than any other mother of a housewife but I have to admit that I have gotten attached to her, even when she is wrecking Lynette's head.



With cancer now out of the way, Lynette really didn't have any need for her mother and just wanted her gone. The thing is with Stella actually having no money to fend for herself, Lynette had to be inventive when giving her mother the old heave ho. I mean, it would be cruel just to dump her out of the streets, right?



No the better thing Lynette could've done was to pass Stella off to her weak willed younger sister Lydia, played very nicely by Sarah Paulson from the sadly cancelled Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip. Lydia is one of those characters now in therapy after systematic abuse from Stella and she's pretty determined not to renew contact with her mum.



Lynette who isn't the most sensitive of people treats Lydia's distress by dumping Stella's bags in her car and leaving. Maybe a few years that tactic might have worked but Lydia is so fed up with Stella that she ropes in the other sister Lucy to take on Lynette and foist Stella to her.



I get why all three women don't want Stella. As fun as she is to watch (and she has been big time), she was also a crap mother who gave them a horrible life. Some people are able to forgive, forget and move on. Clearly Lydia and Lucy aren't two of them.



Playing the emotional guilt card fails to resonate with them as well. At first I was a little disgusted when they flat out admitted that they really didn't care about Stella but if I had to grow up with her as a mother, I'd react the same way. Still Lynette doesn't have to worry about being saddled with her because Stella just ups and leaves anyway.



Speaking of leaving, the sooner this quadrangle between Edie, Carlos, Gabrielle and Victor is over, the better. With their affair pretty much being knowledge, Victor plans a boat trip for him and Gabby while Edie had little better to do than goad Carlos. Yeah, I'm really loving how pathetic Edie is being made this season – not!



The upshot is that Victor manages to get knocked overboard twice, only for the second time to matter. The first time is more an act of stupidity on Gabby's part because instead of trying to kill (which I don't think I would blame Victor for doing), Victor was actually trying to get Gabby a sweater.



The second time however, Gabby did have a right to knock him overboard. After all he was going to kill Carlos and possibly her but the fact that Gabby and Carlos left Victor out there to die doesn't do them any favours. This is the problem with this plot – no-one is being made in a victim, so it's a little to feel for anyone even Gabby and Carlos, whose lives were put in danger in this episode.



Then to cap everything else off, there's still very little progression in whatever dark little secret that Katherine is so desperate to keep hidden. Dylan is ballsy enough to stand up to her ogre of a mother this week when it came to getting an address for her father but as soon as Katherine laid on the water works, she lost her ground. Too bad because Dylan works better when she's feisty.



It also doesn't help that the note Katherine had was obviously going to turn out to have nothing on it. While this plot is still interesting, can we please have something significant happen with it already? I'm getting from the lack of Adam, that he doesn't really factor that much into things.



Also in "You Can't Judge A Book By It's Cover"



Victor got his backstory in the teaser this week. Perhaps it wasn't surprising that it revolved around his own ability to deceive people.



Bree: "Orson take Ben into the bedroom before my friends run out of lies".



Benjamin certainly cried a lot for one little scene. Watching the women lie (especially Gabby) was a nice touch.



Susan: "This is what people do in the suburbs".

Mike: "Ah, yes. The suburbs".



Orson: "I hope I didn't offend you".

Mike: "I haven't heard a word since 10,000".



Seven episodes in and Teri Hatcher hasn't been given a fake belly yet. I'm guessing it'll come soon.



Gabrielle: "Oh that's right. Those two boring hours I'll never get back".

Victor: "Well the good news is that this trip won't be boring".



Bree: "What's wrong with that? I thought we liked conformity".

Orson: "Not at the expense of pain and reduced sexual pleasure".

Bree: "Well I know someone who's sexual pleasure is going to be reduced big time".



I appreciated the little nod in this episode about Bree's booze addiction from Season Two. It worked well during her warning to Susan about Mike.



Carlos (re his picture): "There's a hole in it".

Edie: "Yeah I don't get modern art either".



Orson: "I see myself as Benjamin's father. I need to know if you see me that way too".

Bree: "I know how much you love Benjamin. I guess I just have to remember that it's love that makes us a family and not blood".



Orson got circumcised when he was five as an act of spite by Gloria. Now that she's been mentioned, will she ever return?



Lynette: "Lucy every fight we have ever had has ended with my foot on your neck. I guarantee this one's gonna end the same way too".



Lucy (re Lynette): "There it is, the 'I have a family' card".

Lydia: "Good news, congratulations. We can all reproduce".



It's interesting that Felicity Huffman has worked with both Carrie Preston (Lucy) and Sarah Paulson (Lydia) on different things before they were cast as her sisters here.



Lucy (to Lynette, regarding Stella): "I know I'm supposed to feel guilty but I don't".

Lydia: "I don't either".



Victor: "You tried to kill me".

Gabrielle: "I came back, didn't I?"



No Adam, Danielle, Andrew or Julie here and Tom didn't have much to do either.



Susan (to Mike): "I'm thinking you're a drug addict and a liar so say something that isn't that".



Chronology: The day after "Now I Know, Don't Be Scared".



Well this certainly lived up to it's title. "You Can't Judge A Book By It's Cover" may not be the best episode so far this season but seeing as the majority of the plots are still maintaining interest, I don't think there's anything otherwise wrong with this episode.

wow...another great episode this season...gabby is on a boat trip with victor(one of the best parts of the episode)..she throws him off the boat cause she thinks he was gonna kill her...bree wants her so called son benjamin hodge aka(benjamin McCann) circumcised but orson doesnt...suzan finds out mike is taking drugs...and dylan wants to find out more about her dad.....lynette and her sisters are fighting because non of them wants their mother to live with them....



i also liked the mary-alice narration about deception...



Deception you find it in all the best homes



parents rely on it when dealing with inquisitive children



Women use it to help keep secrets big and small



Lovers need it to cover up inconvenient accidents



Why do people resort to deception,because its a handy tool that helps get us exactly what were looking for...



again..a very special episode to remeber....

OMG!!!!!!!! This season is getting so good so fast!!!!!!! It's been so much better than past few seasons!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!! Susan and Mike's storyline, terrific!!!!! Great writing!!! what is going on with him???? Meeting his dad was really interesting! I wonder if he's got some mental problems. Teri Hatcher is such a terrific actress! I loved all her scenes!!!! OMG, Gaby/Victor/Carlos storyline made me jump outta the chair!!!!!! OMG, I can't believe he might be dead!!!!! OMG!!!! I honestly have no idea what could happen! But seriously if he is dead and they do find a body, I am almost sure they will catch Gaby and Carlos. Their fingerprints are all over the boat, they can't lie about not being on it, unless they have wiped them out. All of it, which I find a bit hard to do. And the police always catches on. Oh boy, I don't know what could happen. And Bree circumsizing the baby, hahaha so funny. She is right though. He needs to be. It's hygenic. I knew Katherine had written nothing on that piece of paper the minute she started saying stuff to Dylan. She is so manipulative. Dylan needs to catch on that and try and find her dad, if he is even her dad, cause I am almost sure she is not the real girl, so she could find the truth! Oh boy, I can't wait til tonight's episode!!!!!!!!! I am dying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The twist of the Bris was a classic Bree move! I knew she was up to something when she said she would go. Gabby and Victor, I can only hope they find him ok, but that he is smart enough to dump her, she belongs with Carlos (better yet, pay her off to "pretend" to stay married to him until the next election, as his father attempted, and then divorce, all the while giving her freedom to be with Carlos, what a twist). I just hope he has the wisdom NOT to turn her over to the cops when the time may come and it is revealed that he really is ok, I think the two of them are a crafty team each out to get what they want and not worrying about the "emotions" of a real relationship. Lynnette, can't wait to discover how she ends up getting Mom out of her house, but who knows, maybe she will end up wanting a closer relationship with her, or she will dump her in a nursing home, since her sisters don't care. I am always on the edge of my seat to find out which twist or turn will be revealed every week, just gotta love those ladies!

bree find's mike's pill on the floor and tells susan about his problem...Susan as always doesn't want to see the truth...Linnete has a surprise, when she meets her mother's one night stand in front of the possy and try's to get rid of her mother by dumping her on her sister, but then get's ganged up on by both her sisters.Gabrielle go's on a boat ride with victor and end's up with Carlos on the dock...Katherine has her secret safe for now.Bree has her baby circumsized without orson agreeing to it at a bris after trying the hospitall where she find's orson has warned all the hospitall's in 4 countys...Great episode but not as great as the next one..

We finally meet Lynette's sisters and she finds out that they don't care about Stella anymore. Stella also brought Stan for sleepover and Lynette wants to get rid of her. Susan finds out that Mike is a drug addict and finds pills hidden but he throws them all away in the sink just to get them all back when she goes to sleep.

Bree and Orson are having a discussion about circumsizing their baby Benjamin and Bree goes to a bris and she has her baby cut there. Gabrielle goes to a boat trip with Victor and he tells her that he know about the affair and she knocks him overboard when she thinks that he was going to kill her. Carlos tells her that she needs to go looking for him and they find him but he grabs a knife and wants to kill Carlos and Gabrielle kicks him again overboard but this time he may be dead as he wasn't found and he probably drowned. Amazing episode but the next disaster episode is looking to be even-better-then-Bang episode !

Desperate Housewives. Uhmmm... what can I say this week? The episode was very average, not the level of episode I expect from this show, but things like those happen with these great shows.



Lynette

The typical American story, no one wants to take care of the elderly parents. Maybe this is why I love Brothers & Sisters so much, it is because they're actually together as a family all the time, a little bit of the East located in the West Coast I guess. But for Lynette and her siblings, no one wants to take hold of their mother, and she ends up finding her own way. Filler... filler... total filler... boo!!! Well, I guess Lynette has had enough drama with the cancer, but still, bad storyline.



Bree

Just like Lynette, another housewife fills us up with some filler. Baby Benjamin Hodge is about to get circumsized, but not if Orson can help it. You see ladies and gents, apparently, circumsizion reduces sexual pleasure, and what father would want to take that away from his child? Though Bree has something else in mind, Bree being Bree cares for the image of her son and decides that a circumsizion is best due to the possible teasing in the child's future. So what will be on top? Orson's masculinity or Bree's obsessiveness?



Gabby

Oh my God! This plot shows how Desperate Housewives can make a very serious matter into a laughable situation. I mean seriously, how does this show make fun of the death of one of Gabby's men? You know, Gabby's man, his name is ******. Before you jump to conclusions, you might want to try both possibilities, and you will discover you hate me.



Susan

If it wasn't for this show's capability of making the most serious matters irrelevant, this would be one of two serious plots on the show, but I don't think Gabby's counts anymore. Susan finally discovers Mike's secret, but Mike reassures her that he is in control and he is ready to stop. But as predicted, there is more to it than words alone.



Katherine

This plot was very blurry for me, but I believe it will straighten out as time progresses, but I refuse to believe that Dylan would give up so easily. She should really make friends with Andrew, that way she would already have gotten all the information she would need. Oh well, in due time Dylan will know. I'm waiting for Austin's return, more kids on the show please, and no, not the Scavo kids.

Episode Quote (courtesy of Mary-Alice Young): Deception. You find it in all the best homes. Parents rely on it when dealing with inquisity of children. Women use it to help keep secrets big and small. Lovers need it to cover up inconvenient accidents. Why do people resort to deception? Because it's a handy tool that helps get us exactly what we're looking for.

Bree and Orson confrontation is one that can take place is many households. Maybe not over circumcision, but, when there is a blood sibling and a step-parent. It was funny on how he knew that Bree would sneak around and his measures to stop her. Being a step-parent myself, I know that sometimes the biological parent will not consider the step-parent when makin a decision. They did the Mike and Susan thing well. An addict will go thru all of the motions to appear clean (as Bree demonstrated) but will also go through anything to get thier drugs. Come on Susan, Mike's a plumber did you not thik he would open the trap to get the pills.



Is he or isn't he dead? Of course Gaby's and Carlos' fingerprints are all over Victor's boat, they would have been better served setting it on fire. It was funny watching Gaby wield her oar. Katherine, Katherine, Katherine just what secret(s) are you hiding? Don't buy the abusive husband angle.

The Gabby, Carlos, Victor plot was great. It was really suspensful and I could not wait to see what Victor's intentions were. I loved how just as they thought he was just there to work things out, he came at Carlos with a knife. I can't believe they killed him and I can't wait to see what happens next. Bree's storyline origonally didn't seem too great, but it turned out being funny and it brought up bigger issues. I loved how he knew she would sneak off to get it done. Lynette's storyline was also ok, but It seemed like it was just a lot of petty arguements. It had some funny parts, like her sister reading off cards, and Lynette sneaking away from the resturant. I also liked how Lynette came to realize she could not treat her mother that way. It was interesting to once again see Katherine do everything in her power to keep the truth from her daughter, but I want to see development in the storyline. I just didn't like Mike and Susan's storyline. It seems like the writers are trying to hard to create conflict between Mike and Susan, and I can not believe this would happen. I hope there is a good reason, that Mike is hiding from us.

Mike is doing drugs.



Gaby is in danger ?!?



Lynnette is trying to kick her mother out.



Bree wants to circunsize the baby.



This was a good episode, we saw Bree and Hodge fighting about the circuncision(misspelled) and eventually she sees him as the father of the baby.



Mike and Susan have a fight because she thinks he is using drugs, and he is only using because he is afraid he wont be a good provider for his kid.



Lynnette has a big deception with her sisters and her mom ends up leaving without telling anyone where she is going.



Katherine lies to her kid, again !!!



Gaby kills Victor.



Was a good episode, nothing too dramatic, but good.

I couldn't believe the plot twists in this episode. It definitely was one that me go: "WHAT!?" Especially, when Gabbi hits Victor with the paddle.



Not only that, but when she does it again and he doesn't come back up. I could only think "NO WAY!!" lol. In a terribly morbid way, I'm kind of glad he is dead. I think Gabbie and Carlos are perfect together, and now finally, no one is in their way. Although, I'm curious to see the repercussions of Victor's death, and see if the characters actually believe Carlos and Gabbi's story. But, I'm curious to see what happens with them.

1. Lynette and her sister Lucy and Lydia argue about who their mother should live with. They all dislike her because she's rude and critical. Lynette suffered 4 months of cancer and her mother, she feels someone else should support her mother. But her sisters think Lynette is just looking for sympathy.



In the end, Lynette decides to care for her mother because her sisters don't care AT ALL about their mother. However, Lynette's mom is taking a taxicab and driving away...

--

2. Bree and Orson argue about circumcision about the baby. Orson has sent hospitals in the neighbouring states an email, that says they shouldn't take orders from a woman named Bree Hodge. Bree sneaks out and has the baby circumcised. She says since the baby has her blood, Bree feels she's the prime descision maker.



Orson feels unneeded and confronts Bree if Bree will treat Orson like a father...

--

3. Bree catches Mike taking a pill and finds out that it's a narcotic. Mike tells Susan that he's taking pills because he hurt his back. Bree tells Susan that addicts are VERY good liars. Susan believes Mike after he flushes the pills down the sink. But Mike's a plumber...

--

4. Carlos phones Gabby and tells her Victor knows about their affair. Problem is, Gabby and Victor are on a private boat all by themselves. Gabby accidently pushes Victor overboard because she thinks he's going to kill her. She panics and calls Carlos. They eventually find Victor. But Victor threatnes to kill Carlos, so AGAIN Gabby hits him with a paddle and he falls overboard. This time, they cant find him...

So Bree and her husband have completely different views about circumsizing the new baby. Susan thinks Mike is a drug addict and finds his pills that he lied about having. Dillion learns that her dad was abusive to her mother, at least that is what her mom told her so that she would stop asking so many questions. Lynette tries to get her sisters to take care of their mother but learns that they don't care about her. She realizes how much her mother really means to her. Gabrielle and Victor go out on the boat after he finds out about her recent affair with Carlos. Gabby ends up knoking him off the boat because she believes he is going to kill her. Then she calls Carlos and asks him to help her. They go back out to rescue Victor then Carlos antaginizes Victor into a fight and Gabby once again knocks Victor into the ocean only this time he doesn't resurface. Carlos and Gabby have to cover up the murder. Deception is occuring all over Wisteria Lane.

Last week's episode was one of a kind, so I had high expectations for this episode and for the most part I wasn't disappointed at all



Susan's storyline is surprisingly deep, considering how shallow her storylines have been lately... she finds out about Mike's drug addiction thanks to Bree and this leads to a very touching scene in the end, but Mike lies to Susan twice so I think things won't be alright after all



Lynette is trying to get rid of her mother, so she tries to get her to move in with one of her sisters but then when they are arguing, Stella leaves in a taxi leaving her destination unknown for now... also a very touching episode occurs with the three sisters



Bree's storyline is very funny, she & Orson argue about something related to the baby so she ends up doing it behind his back which also leads to a very emotional scene, which is perhaps the best scene in the entire episode



Gabrielle's storyline is perhaps the highlight of the episode, while I enjoyed the other storylines more this one made things more twisted and a lot more interesting... Victor takes Gabrielle on a boat trip making it clear that he's going to kill her after finding out about her affair with Carlos. Carlos finds out that Victor knows from Edie and so he informs Gabrielle who thinks that Victor is going to kill her, so she kind of pushes him off the boat and returns to the shore where she meets up with Carlos... they discover that Victor wasn't trying to kill Gabrielle so they go back looking for him and they find him and then a fight takes place between Victor and Carlos and Victor is pushed off the boat once again, but this time he's lost!! Carlos & Gabrielle decide to keep this a secret and they let the boat go all by itself... this seems like a very promising storyline indeed



As for Katherine's storyline, while it didn't really give more clues about the season's mystery it was still very enjoyable. Dylan has a school project about her father, while Katherine isn't very pleased with this Dylan finally grows out of being scared of her mother and stands up for herself and decides to carry on with the project... later on, Katherine offers Dylan a piece of paper that has information about her father but Katherine asks Dylan not tell him where Katherine is because the last time they spoke he left her in a very bad shape and almost killed her... hearing this, Dylan tells her mom to call her teacher in order to change her homework and then once Dylan leaves Katherine opens the paper and it's empty!! So it was a trick after all!!



Overall, it was a great, revealing and somehow shocking episode that leaves me highly anticipated for the upcoming episode... I can't wait to see what happens with Victor and Susan next and where Stella has gone

Definitely, I can't get enough of this show, and this new episode brings, again, another great story, with the usual comedy and, the usual drama, magnificent. This episode was a roller coaster (literally), everything was a beautiful puzzle, and the pieces were all over the place. I really enjoyed the whole 'circumcision' thing, Bree sneaking out with her baby... fabulous.



Gaby and Victor's boat trip was the greatest damn thing in this episode, Victor in the water, Gaby freaking out, and Victor in the water again... that pulled out some good laughters. Dylan trying to find out about her father, and Katherine covering up with fake tears was the big confirmation that something big is coming along.



Lynette fighting to give up her mother, but realizing about family and love was a wonderful part, nonetheless, her mother going away was both, sad and funny.... quirky writing.



Anyway, this episode was fantastic, another great thing from Desperate Housewives, full of confusion, fun, drama, and I can wait to see more of what is coming.
