It’s been two weeks since we last had a fresh episode of Desperate Housewives, and the question remains “Will it get any better?â€? Well, apparently I am in the minority on this because the last episode two weeks ago actually beat out the World Series. That’s right, a team that hadn’t won since 1917 sweeping in the World Series was beaten out by the image of a 43-year-old woman with bad plastic surgery dancing on a bar. But who knows, maybe they were all just Grey’s Anatomy fans watching ABC just waiting for 10 o’clock (never underestimate the power of Patrick Dempsey). Or perhaps it was thousands of would-be bloggers who were given the task of recapping a show that they think isn’t as good as it used to be. Either way, the country spoke, and I shall listen. This week the show actually did get a little better. Less goofiness, and a darker edge, and that uppity Susan got hers. Granted it was still full of absolutely huge, laughable plot holes, but seeing as how it’s really just a soap opera with a big budget, it’s par for the course.
The show starts with a little back story on creepy murderer George and how he came to be creepy murderer George. We get a quick montage of him getting rejected by numerous women slamming the door in his face, and then a flash to the present day where Bree opens the door and welcomes him in with a smile. After dinner they both go to the couch and soon George is all over her, trying to taste some of Bree’s honey pot. Before they can get anything going Bree breaks out in a hideous rash. It looks like herpes simplex ten broke out all over her face. I know this cuz I saw a picture…in a book once… Yeah, that’s it. Later when she is at her psychiatrist’s office, he tells her that it is most likely a psychosomatic illness brought on by her guilt. She refuses to believe it, so freaky STD still on the table as an option.
At the Mayer’s house, Susan is with her mom Sophie getting her wedding dress ready for her marriage to Morty, played by, ahh, the, umm, in-in-inestimable, B-B-Bob, ahh, N-N-Newhart. When Mike comes in, Sophie tells him to leave as it’s bad luck. Mike then hints that Susan can get her own wedding dress soon. Looks like Mike and Susan will get married soon. Either that or something will drive them apart later this episode (gee, I wonder which one it will be?).
Over at the courthouse, Gabrielle shows up to court wearing another hot outfit that would also easily fit on a 9 year old girl (The woman is comically short. It always makes me laugh). Apparently her baby is being grown in a lab somewhere since she got pregnant last season and still has a washboard stomach. Max Headroom Lawyer David is upset because he told her to look maternal. Apparently mothers can’t wear nice expensive clothes. While they are arguing a weird guy named Louis, a former client of David, comes up and starts yelling at him. Before you know it he pulls a gun ands starts shooting. When he empties the gun of bullets and doesn’t hit anything, he then throws the gun at David. When David picks it up, a cop finally shows up, and when he sees David with the gun, shoots him in a wacky mix em up, Housewives style. Only this show can have a courthouse where you can A. sneak a handgun in undetected and B. empty six shots in the air and not have a cop show up for about 2 minutes. It’s like the writers are daring us to see how much they can get away with.
Which leads us to the next scene. Paul, the cold blooded murderer who we last saw about to be executed by Mike last season before he changed his mind at the last second, is back home and mowing his lawn like nothing happened. Not only did Paul murder Mike’s ex girlfriend, stick her in a trunk, bury her beneath the pool, and then inexplicably dig up the trunk again and dump it in a pond (the only reason so the cops could find it and get the plot moving. Otherwise he’d have been completely safe), but he also killed Martha Huber for finding out his secret. Gabrielle and Bree are both on the phone shocked that he’s there and wondering if Susan has seen him yet. Cue Susan coming home and holding groceries, because if she wasn’t holding groceries there would be no opportunity for her to drop them all in shock in some classic Susan moment. The writers should just have her start wearing a monocle, so then whenever something surprising happens she can look amazed and the monocle can drop out and fall in a wine glass or something. Or maybe wear a dickie and every time someone surprises her it can just pop out and roll up. Or maybe they can just go ahead and make her a CGI character. You know, now that I think about it, I finally realized what it is about Susan I don’t like so much. She reminds me of Jar Jar Binks. I mean think about it. She’s weird looking, always getting into slapstick hijinks that are never funny, you cringe everytime she appears on screen. It’s uncanny. I think they should have her talk like Jar Jar just to make the transformation complete. “Oooh, mike! Mesa thinks Zach is a bantha poo doo! Okie day!�
Once she drops her groceries after seeing him, Gabrielle and Bree come out and stands between them warning Paul that they called the police. Moments later the police arrive, thereby confirming that it’s safer on Wisteria lane than it is in their local courthouse. When the police ask for proof that he’s a murderer, she brings them over to Mike’s house where he simply denies everything. Susan looks stupid, again, and the police leave. Great boyfriend you got there Susan.
When she confronts him about lying to the police later on, Mike tells her that he couldn’t say anything because he could go to prison again if he told them about the whole almost executing Paul thing from last season. When she asks why he didn’t tell them about Mrs. Huber’s journal where she writes about how Paul admitted to murdering Zach’s mom, he says the journal also says that Susan burnt down Edie’s house. Never mind the fact that the journal is complete hearsay and not admissible in any court, and there was never any evidence that Susan burnt down the house (it was an accident that her madcap klutziness caused). Things like reason and logic have no place in Wisteria Lane! Either that or I’ve seen to many court dramas. Mike finally tells her that he wants Paul back here in order to Lure Zach back. With this we get the guilty look from Susan because we all know she found Zach a few weeks ago and convinced him to go to Utah.
Lynette meanwhile is trying on a new white suit, since Nina and her coworkers were criticizing her cheap suits earlier. When her husband finds out that the suit cost 900 dollars, and that she’s got a pile of them, he gets upset that she’s wasted so much money. He says he made sacrifices over the years when he was working and its time for her to start doing the same. She reluctantly agrees to take the suits back the next day.
When she goes into work the next morning wearing her usual drab gray suit, she sees all the clients waiting for her presentation wearing their own expensive suits. That’s too much for her so she goes and grabs one of the new suits, changes in the bathroom and hides the tag. My mom did this to me once with an Easter suit when I was 12. When Lynette is going through her presentation, which in another nod to the budget is done with big drawings on easels, and not how they have actually been done for years now with multimedia presentations, Nina notices that she missed the tag on her skirt and its showing through. Never one to miss an opportunity to embarrass Lynette (she must really miss getting laid) she points it out to everyone at the meeting. Not the best move to openly insult your project manager while she’s doing her presentation in front of her clients, but since this firm still hasn’t figured out PowerPoint, its like arguing the placement of the deck chairs on the Titanic.
When Lynette comes home that night wearing the suit she promised to return, Tom is obviously upset. And since these are the Scavos, there are only three things that they can do to fix the problem. Lie, backstab, or bribe. It’s what the Scavos do. So Lynette pulls out a set of new golf clubs from the trunk and tells Tom that everyone and a while they need to do something for themselves. It helps them become better people, and better parents. Tom, being a shallow Scavo, agrees and takes the club gingerly. A bunch of 900 dollar suits in exchange for a set of golf clubs? Tom’s an idiot. Later we see the kids eating cat food for dinner.
Over at the hospital Gabrielle is visiting David. When David tells her that she is his first visitor in the two days she has been here, she is surprised and feels a little sorry for him. She then helps him cut his meal and feeds him his dinner, and David gets that “I am in love with you because you were nice to me for five minutes� look that we all know so well. This from the guy who is supposed to be the big lothario who uses women. God this show makes no sense.
Either thats another bullet hole or he has comically small nipples
IT gets worse the next day in court when as he is about to ask for a dismissal, he stops, says he “can’t do this� and walks out. When Gabrielle catches up to him in the hall, he says he can’t do it because he is madly in love with her because she cut his veal cutlet. He can’t help Carlos because they belong together. This is so stupid on so many levels I almost threw my shoe at the TV. To recap, the big studly lawyer who sleeps with all his beautiful clients, falls in love with one of them when she cuts his food, he then walks out on them in the middle of a court session, isn’t fined for contempt of court and it doesn’t occur to Gabrielle that she can threaten to get him disbarred instantly, which she so obviously can, for his idiotic behavior. Lionel Hutz is a better lawyer.
Instead of just telling him she can get him disbarred she instead later invites him over to her house where she attempts to seduce him and offers to have an affair with him. When he says yes, she tells him that that is proof that he doesn’t love her otherwise he would have said no to an affair and told her he wanted her completely. Am I wrong to be completely aggravated by this nonsensical writing? Am I taking it too seriously? I don’t usually watch soap operas, but even Melrose Place didn’t get this stupid and at least they had the glorious Daphne Zuniga.
After Bree’s epidermis malfunction, George calls her to tell her that he has some antihistamines that he thinks might be able to help her. She does him one better and tells him that they should go away for a romantic weekend together. When they get to the hotel the man at the desk mistakes them for a married couple and as soon as Bree hears that her rash comes back again. She starts freaking out and makes George agree to separate rooms. Once they agree to this her rash magically disappears. But this is George were talking about. He’s already killed her husband in order to have her; a simple rash isn’t going to stop him.
At dinner George tries to convince her to take the antihistamines. She doesn’t think it’s such a good idea since she’s drinking wine but George says it’ll be fine. Soon enough she is plastered beyond belief and he is forced to take her upstairs. When he drops her on her bed she passes out almost instantly. At that point George stands over her and says that he loves her and he will do anything to make her love him back. Then he loosens his tie and we fade to commercial. Did George just rape Bree? Inquiring fans want to know.
When Bree finally wakes up she looks over to see George sitting there watching her. Nothing creepy about that. Nope, nothing at all. When she asks why he didn’t sleep next to her he says “I already stood over you while masturbating and choking myself with piano wire so I didn’t feel the need.â€? Well, he didn’t say that out loud, but he said it with his eyes. When she tells him that she just isn’t ready, George warns her that there is only so much rejection he can take. With that, she suddenly changes her mind and she tells him to stay. They then start to kiss and pan over to the clock which goes from 3:25 to 4:30. If this show was realistic, they would have had it change to 3:27. I mean c’mon, the guy’s a dweeb who never gets laid.
Later we see Susan working under her sink. Now normally, since this is Susan, we would expect to see the pipes burst and water shoot all over the place as she runs frantically around looking for a wrench. Before that can happen however, there is a knock at the door. Susan tells the person to come in and when she gets up to look and see who it is, it’s Paul. He has the flyer about Zach’s disappearance and wants to know if Susan is hiding something about Zach from him. As he is saying this she is reaching back into the sink looking for something. When he asks what it is she is looking for, she says a knife. He then picks up one from the table and menacingly approaches her. This of course is enough to have her spill the beans about how she saw Zach and sent to him to Utah. Not so much because she is scared, but because the writers are lazy and couldn’t figure out a better way to have Paul find out this info to drive the plot forward.
So it’s no surprise later that when Mike approaches Paul while he’s gardening to tell him that no one wants him there, that Paul lets it slip that Susan got rid of Zach. When Mike realizes this he goes to confront Susan. Susan is of course wearing the wedding dress for her mother, and Mike asks her if he can ask her an important question. Susan’s mom Sophie assumes that he is going to ask her to marry him, thus confirming that the idiot gene runs in the Mayer family. When Mike finally asks Susan if it’s true that she saw Zach and sent him away, she admits it. You see, Zach is a creepy freak who held her at gunpoint and is obsessed with her daughter, so she freaked out and sent him away. I’m not exactly sure what logic she was using because if he did come back he is wanted by the police for kidnapping, aggravated assault and possibly even attempted murder, so its not like he would just move back home. But with the writing on this show, you can never be sure.
Once Mike hears what Susan says, he says it’s over between them and walks out. Susan follows after him, still dressed in her wedding dress, and sobbing uncontrollably. And her aging, surgery ravaged face literally disintegrates before our eyes as Mike drives away. First we had Margot Kidder fall apart, now Teri Hatcher. I fear for Erica Durance on Smallville.
Everyone looks beautiful in a wedding dress!
So as the episode ends we realize it’s been another week and no glimpse of the “storyline no one cares aboutâ€? featuring the Applewhites and their basement prisoner. Could this have anything to do with the fact that the actor playing the prisoner wasfired for “improper conductâ€?? Perhaps not, because the previews for next week’s episode shows that that storyline figures prominently. We can only hope he goes on some sort of murder spree. We need something to spice up this show.

This episode totally squicked me.
That is all.
Sorry, the show is stupid, but it doesn’t deserve your treatment. Enjoy it in its stupidity, a la’ Laguna Beach, or move on to reviewing Baseball, which seems more up your alley.
hey edhill, this was a great, and funny re-cap!
i cant get over how much alike the lawyer and george look! anyone else? and george, man–the dude creeps me out. kill him!
Great recap EdHill – I laughed out loud. But, what do you have against short people?
What the fuck was the basement guy fired over? Inquiring minds want to know.
Page Six said that the basement guy was fired for flashing people on the DH set.
Seems as if he flashed some peeps on the set.
First, this was the best recap ever. Jar Jar Binks picture = tears in my eyes. I may have to print it out and put it on my wall at work just to make the day that much better. Second, you are absolutely right that this show is full of laughable logical holes… we have a theory that you are a lawyer by day b/c you pointed out stuff like diary = hearsay, laywer could have been disbarred and held in contempt, etc. That would make you the coolest lawyer in history.
Get Laguna posted! We are dying waiting for it!
Great Recap!! I laughed my ass off then called my friends to share so they could do the same.
But the crazy weird guy Louis was not David’s client. He was the estranged boyfriend/stalker of one of David’s clients.
Sadly,I thought this weeks show was the best so far this season.Hardly a ringing endorsement but at least it was interesting.Now if only they would dump the prisoner in the basement story,maybe the show would get back on track.Until the credits for next weeks show came on,I’d forgotten all bout that tangent.
It doesn’t seem that bad when I’m watching-but then I read the recap and all the plot holes are pointed out-and so humourously I might add-that I see that it really isn’t that great. I think I may still be watching because I enjoy the recap so much.
I wish you got some of the factual details of the show right. For instance, only 1 of the suits was $900. And she only kept the one suit. You seem to do this a lot.
Perhaps you can only complain about plot holes if you actually can keep track of the plot. It’s not that complicated.
I think it is funny how they conveniently don’t have kids (except for the Scavo’s) anywhere except if they are essential to the plot. No Julie, no whiny whatever Bree’s daughter’s name is, no Andrew (but I think he’s back at camp, right?). And not even a peek at Alfre Woodard or Frazier’s agent.
And thanks to Aries and myaseals for letting us in on what was going on with the basement guy getting fired. Everywhere I went, I found nothing…
There’s a plot?……..Now if only the writers knew what it was maybe we could figure it out too……..
Ooooo, that Cameron (# 12) really told you, edhill! Hey, if they don’t like your point of view, ack ‘em. You do a fine job of recapping and I look forward to them every time. Yes, the show is stupid and the plotline meanders more than the Mississippi river, but its stupidity is an endearing quality. This is one show in which I do suspend reality. It’s fun watching these stupid bitches act up, and their snarkiness while playing their roles shows right through. I love their tongue-in-cheek attempts st reality. Beats the hell out of the “realism” of Grey’s Anatomy any day.
There’s a show that’s already so snarky that you just have to review: “Boston Legal”. The combination of James Spader and William Shatner is devastating. Please?
First of all, this was not a funny re-cap. Second of all, the World Series was not publicized very well. Third, I really doubt that Felicity Huffman has had plastic surgery. And finally, did you really say dweeb? Are you kidding me? Who says dweeb? Go back to Saved by the Bell.
Ouch! Why all the hate toward EdHill? I think the recap was great, and I’ll still watch the show. Details are just that…details.
Tony A – you are right on the money. Just enjoy the show for what it is and its a lot more fun. Great recap EdHill!
Going over this episode replacing Susan with Jar Jar made me laugh so much that it probably counted as my aerobic exercise for the day.
seriously- recap baseball. you arent funny. Oh and please dont reply with ‘do you think you can do better?’ because I don’t, but all of the other recappers are able to do their jobs and WELL I might add. So lets have someone else assigned to it. please!?
WHERE IS THE LAGUNA POST?!?! I cant wait!
okay. well, i don’t think the world series needs to be heavily publicized because it happens EVERY year! com’on.
secondly, i think this season sucks and i read these recaps to know what’s going on.
anyway, this was hilarious as far as recaps go. i will never throw my shoe at the computer monitor.
Wow, someone touched a nerve with all of the desperate housewife fans out there. Be afraid Edhill, be very afraid.
I love the jar-jar graphic.
I am in total agreement, Teri Hatcher should be fired, as well as the writing team for this abomination of a series. Teri Hatcher should take the Susan character and do a 2005 remake of Three’s Company with her, Jar-Jar, and the Urn with the remains of Norman Fell. I think it would be more entertaining, and she can get into more madcap zany situations: Susan accidently vacuums up Mr. Roper! Hilarity ensues when the vacuum cleaner bag bursts all over jar-jar!
Alfre Woodard is so under used in this pathetic series. It is a slap in the face to all qualified actresses.
The Lynette story lines are so idiotic, stupid and disturbing all at the same time. No VP is going to call out her staff for a price tag on a skirt. Please.
I don’t know if I can continue to watch this mess of a show.
KH
did anyone else think it odd that susan was fixing something under her sink when her BOYFRIEND is a PLUMBER? she is the clumsiest woman alive, why not wait til the man who actually knows what he’s doing returns? i know my tail wouldn’t do one thing pipe-related if i had a plumber permeantly on call.
i personally am one of those who watch desperate housewives because it’s on before grey’s anatomy, which is much much much better. thanks to patrick dempsey.
plot holes driving me crazy as well.
however, that graphic of jarjar binks was priceless.
Can we please stop all the Ed hating? If you don’t like his recaps, don’t read them. And these recaps could be a lot more offensive to those of you who actually think this show is quality tv, however I think he is holding back a bit. Keep it coming Ed – I think you’re brilliant!
I love you EdHill.
I also thought it was a bit crazy that in one episode Mike lies about what he told Susan (in front of the police and a big crowd)and then Mike finds out that Susan lied about Zach. Seems to me that if there is so much lying in their relationsip, they would realize that it isn’t such a good idea for them to be together.
Edlover , Oh I actually decided after this one to stop reading them. Ehhill sucks and is by far the worst on this site. Ill stick to the other recaps and different sites for DH.
At least Susan asked Mike why he lied…Mike didnt even ask, he just stormed out like a teenage girl who didnt get her way. Um how would he feel if he had a daughter and there was a creepy boy who wouldnt leave her alone?
I have to admit that I watch this show to see what stupid situations they will come up with next. And I love Greys Anatomy but TIVO it and watch it on Tuesdays when nothing worth watching is on. Why is there no recap for that show??
When Bree and George went up stairs at the hotel I thought for sure the Manager was going to do soemhting about the fact that she was soooo wasted…Did you see his face? He would have been the perfect witness had he really taken advantage of her in the hotel room. Hopefylly in the next episode when George asks Bree to marry him she’ll realize he is an absolute freak….How are they going to get to the whole George poisoned Rex? and Toms “I did something really bad”
Good. This site is about snark not flame. Take your nasty comments elsewhere.
this show sucks, edhill wrote a very funny recap with the material provided.
it seems as though once laguna started being recapped, all the whiny bitched started populating these comment boards with nasty comments.
if you have nothing nice to say…how’s the saying go? oh yes, fuck off.
They wouldnt have to fire Teri Hatcher if they would actually give her a good story line. At first the story for her was fine, but now all they do is make her the victim and whine about everything. What happened to strong snoopy Susan? I hear they are bringing Edie into everything a bit more so things shoud liven up a bit…Somehting about her having a 6 year old son or something…
LOL Jash, I agree, show may suck right now, but Edhill is doing a great job of pointing things out. Yes he is a bit harsh on the show but he is only saying what we are all thinking.
I wouldnt say people are being bitchy- just exercising their right to not like the DH recapper as much as the DH recapper doesnt like DH. Sounds pretty fair to me. As for the show- I used to watch Gray’s because it was on after DH well now I think ill watch DH because its on before Gray’s.
Also, is it me, or is edhill the only recapper who gets hated on? everyone loves everyone else. Might be something there.
Ed maybe you should recap Greys Anatomy???
CB-I agree, what happened to Tom’s big secret? It’s like that storyline never happened! And they seem to have no intention of resolving it.
EdHill can recap me anytime he wants, I love his writing and his work.
KH
I love everyone!
Who knows..maybe it went with the twins…where ever they are…and on a side note…Zach looks nothing like Mike…even if they made him not so dorky…he still would look nothing like him…
Spanky-All the writers on this site get hated on. It’s the best part!
Spanky-All the writers on this site get hated on. It’s the best part!
not j-unit, and he’s the worst of the lot! i jest, of course–my days would be much longer without the ANTM or OC recpas!
the laguna-heads are the new conservative-right.
Look, the Svan says Edhill is good so all those who are critical of him, go fuck off. The Svan would also like to thank those who answered his question promptly. It is greatly appreciated.
Ok, I wrote a whole post and accidentally deleted it so now I’m annoyed.
Just wanted to add my 2 cents. 6 cents, actually, since I have 3 points to make..
1- Although I agree with some of the recaps’ critics, I think there’s no need to get so harsh. Yeah, everyone’s entitled to an opinion, and should feel free to express it, but there’s a way to do that without being an ass. And if you’re so damn annoyed that you just HAVE TO be an ass, then… maybe you shouldn’t be reading the recaps cause they’re causing you psychological trauma.
2-Having said that, here’s one of my quibbles: I feel that the recaps would benefit enormously from, like, even 5 minutes of proofreading. Although typos and mistakes annoy me, we all make them, so I can let it slide.. but some mistakes are too much. Lynette “tells Tom that everyone and a while they need to do something for themselves”… are you serious??? Everyone in a while? Um. That makes no sense. Maybe every once in a while? just a thought.
3- To add to the whole suit vs golf club discussion: I also got the impression that Lynette kept one suit, worth 900$. And, having too much time on my hands, I looked up the price of golf clubs… according to about.com: “Top-of-the-line drivers range from $300 to $600. A top-of-the-line set of irons (usually 3-iron through pitching wedge) can range from $700 to $1,200.” And, judging by the I-just-creamed-my-pants look on Tom’s face, I assume the clubs were top-of-the-line. I don’t think he got the short end of the stick, as far as their deal is concerned.
4- EdHill, you accuse the show of being as bad as a soap opera.. but… it pretty much IS a soap opera. So, yeah, it doesn’t always make sense, there are plot holes, etc… but to critique it for that is like going to McDonalds and then complaining that your Big Mac tastes like junk food. You’re watching television’s Big Mac. Enjoy it for its nutrition-free, bad-for-you, you-know-you-should-be-doing-something-else kind of deliciousness, or if you feel too gross about it, opt for healthier fare instead!
Seriously! BEST.
Also- JASH WROTE

if you have nothing nice to say…how’s the saying go? oh yes, fuck off.
I seemed to notice you on the Laguna site. I thought you didnt like Laguna- Do you even watch it. Why dont you take your own advice and fuck off? Classic Hypocrits- step right up- Jash?
^ Just thought I’d mention that the “Laguna site” is the same site the Desparate Housewives recaps are on.
It’s called TVgasm. Dumbass.
Actually, there was no World Series on Sunday. It ended on October 26th, which is a Wednesday. Housewives beat out Game 2 of the World Series on Oct. 22nd.
Sometimes I feel like a lone fashionable wolf. I honestly don’t think the writing has gone downhill this season despite what every person, article, critic and website says. Everyone is saying the problem is that the wives don’t spend as much time together but I honestly don’t remember them ever being together that much save the occasional poker game or awkward dinner party. People say they don’t care about the new mystery plotline but we don’t even know what it’s about, so I’m willing to have an openmind that it could go somewhere freakin’ awesome! Personally I wouldn’t want to see the same murder mystery type plot every season because how often could someone get killed in that subdivision?
Actually, even J-Unit was getting hardcore flamed over on the Veronica Mars thread…
What was supposed to happen with Tom’s “I did something bad” was that he was going to be a bigamist, and have a whole other family. They started hinting at that with Lynette saying ‘you’re only here half of the time’ and then him freaking out when Lynette said she would leave him if he cheated on her. But then apparently Marc Cherry thought that would be too unbelievable… Eonline’s Watch With Kristin had the whole story if you want to check it out.
Oh and the twins were off shooting Cheaper by the Dozen 2, which is why they haven’t been seen…
Love the recaps EdHill!
