Tonight on Desperate Housewives: Money money money money. Money! Susan wants M.J. to go to a private school; Gabby wants to slim down; Tom finds out about Dave's lies; Lynette gets a loan from Bree; and the countdown to a non-Sheridan DH has begun. Boo!
Not OK!
There's a 20 dollar bill on the street, which makes Mary Alice want to blah about money and how some people have it (the gay dudes, obviously, as well as Bree and Orson and Edie and Dave) and some don't, like Lynette. She sells Tom's convertible to some dude. Wow, turns out Tom actually knows about it. What happened, Lynette? Did you lose your crazy yet lovable whimsy along with your natural hair? Yeah, that's right. I made a cancer joke. Turns out the Scavos are about broke thanks to one of their sons boffing some cougar with a psycho husband whose bar just happened to burn down therefore implicating that said son committed arson. For the second time.
Next on the list, boner pills.
But you know who's not poor? Good ole Bree "Rub My Money In Your Face" Hodge, who drives up in a new car, holding that 20 that was blowing around the street. Lynette gives her the ole stink-eye. Credits.
She thinks she's so great. Just look at the way she closes bother her eyes at the same time just to mock me.
Bree wants all the gals to ooh and ah over her new car that comes with a freaking fridge in the back seat that is just big enough, Bree tells us, for some champagne. Remember when Bree went to A.A. because she's an alcoholic? Apparently neither do the writers.
Hey, Edie's in this scene, so you better get a good look at her while you can, cuz Nicolette Sheridan is so over this show y'all. I wonder why she's leaving? It can't possibly have anything to do with the fact that she's had a total of 15 lines this entire season, can it? Anysnooch, after Lynette leaves in a huff, the gals tell Bree that the Scavos are having a bit of money trouble (see above). Bree feels bad, but not bad enough to show the girls that the car . . . parks itself. Yeah. I know. Also, I think that's the same model that talks to you in a British accent while you travel the countryside solving crimes in your members-only jacket.
I can totally close them both if I just concentr...damn you Bree!
Susan's at a private school, talking to the principal about enrolling her son. Turns out, M.J. is accepted because he was first on the waiting list. Of course, private school ain't cheap, and when Suzy gets the tuition bill, she's a little antsy. Hey! I think this episode might be about money!
Over at Carlos and Gabby's, Carlos wants to go out to The Palm for a fancy dinner because he got some bonus, which gives Gabby a big ole money hardon. She's going to wear the same dress she wore when Carlos proposed to her, although Carlos questions her ability to fit into the dress. Oh, yeah, Gabby's ENORMOUS. She must be a size 2! The shame! Gabby's totally going to fit into that dress, you just wait and see.
Over at Tom's, Mr. and Mr. Gay come over to shoot the shit about Tom's car, when Dave interrupts to ask about the car. Things get a little awkward (why? you ask. I have no idea) and as they leave, Bob tells Lee that Dave was the only witness who put Porter in the storage room at the club, therefore is the only one linking Porter to the fire. Ah, that's why it's awkward. I thought maybe Bob and Lee thought that Dave was hitting on Tom, because let's face it, Dave really does give off that repressed homo vibe. Am I right?
I was just wondering if I could borrow a piece of your hair to match paint samples to. Lynette won't stop obsessing over beige walls.
Gabby tries to fit into her dress, but it's not going well. She spies Edie running, and asks her how she lost 5 lbs in one day, according to McCluskey. Acai berry smoothies? Nope. Edie: "I got drunk on bourbon and threw up all over he lawn." Hee! Don't go, Edie! Don't go! Next season will be better! Actually, Gabby was asking about some program, Edie says it's military and tough and shit, and there's no way that Edie will recommend her. Gabby's all, what up bitch, you afraid I'll look better than you?! Edie's all, 6am, the park, be there.

okay, I thought this part was funny:
"Gabby, shamed, joins the group outside. Just in time for lifting 3 lb. weights while standing still, followed by stretching. Oh, that's just cruel! Where did Eyebrow get his ideas? Who's in charge of Israeli Army fitness? Olivia Newton-John?"
I don't think this is going to end well for Edie. I suspect there's going to be another funeral very soon.

Oh no! I didn't even think about that!
