Desperate Housewives

We’ve FINALLY got a new episode to talk about! And the title is really misleading because there are plenty of all three. Such as the fit Ian threw when he found out that Susan went to go see Mike in jail again, after he asked her not to. Whoops! Or how about the fight between Lynette and the suddenly amazingly bratty Kayla who seems to have a little more Nora in her than we previously expected. Then there’s the feud which has come to a head between Bree and Susan. Susan unapologetically insisted that Orson killed Alma because that might mean he was more likely to kill Monique since OF COURSE Mike would never do such a thing. So when Alma shows up on Bree’s doorstep very much NOT dead, Bree relishes the opportunity to rub her not-deadness in Susan’s face. Right about then is when the cops show up at the Hodge’s to question Orson about Monique. To her credit, Susan tipped them off before she knew about Alma. Unfortunately for Susan, Bree isn’t interested in semantics and the fur flies, ending with Bree vowing that Susan is so not her friend anymore. I can’t feel very bad for Susan because the girl oughta know better. She seems to find herself in these situations ALL THE TIME. Lucky for her, Ian forgives her for going to see Mike, after she blurts out that she loves him. I’m guessing that while that might be true, she loves Mike more. Sorry, Ian!

In other news, Danielle, who has nicknamed herself “Danielle Van de Tramp”, lives up to her nickname but good. After telling Julie that Austin might not stick around if she doesn’t put out, and then Julie DOES put out (my eyes!), guess who else puts out too? That can’t be good. Gabby goes nuts when an annonymous admirer has a big basket of roses delivered. She’s sure that Carlos sent them but he’s not fessing up. She even goes so far as to lock the florist up and go through her receipts to find out who it is. She doesn’t get an answer there and the episode finishes with Carlos telling her he did NOT send them and proceeds to describe what he would have sent if they had been from him. It’s a very sweet conversation and I really hope those two can get back together again. Lynette has the best moment of the night when she gets around snotty Kayla’s screeching in a public restaurant (and all the accusing stares of the nearby people because obviously it’s child-abuse…whatever) by having her sons strong-arm the girl out and into the car. And Alma’s excuse for where she’s been all this time? Winnepeg. Living with an old, nearly deaf aunt and no credit cards. She wanted people to think Orson killed her, to punish him for having an affair with Monique. Apparently, she feels bad about that now and that’s why she came back. Of course, I’m not buying that. After all, she injected herself with a mystery SOMETHING and when she purchased a home on Wisteria Lane from Edie, she had a creepy, all-knowing smile on her face. And we all know that means she’s hiding something.
