It seems that real life has taken over this week causing me to be very late with the Desperate Housewives recap. We're going to give a quick rundown of what happened per person 2 episodes ago and then lead right into the full recap of this week. Hold onto your hats 'Gasm fans, it's going to be a bumpy ride.
Bree: Bree kicks Orson. Orson is sitting drunk on the corner when Edie pulls up to ask him if those are Bugle Boy jeans he vomited on. The next day Bree finds out that Orson spent the night at Edie's International House of Whorecakes and calls Edie on her tendency to pick at her friend's leftovers (Carlos, Mike, Susan's ex-husband, Katherine's veggie platter, etc.). Edie is offended so she lets Orson move in with her to teach Bree a lesson, of what I'm not sure. Later that night Edie kisses Orson and Bree sees through her night vision goggles.
Gaby: Gaby and Carlos are broke so they take in a roommate Justine Bateman, AKA Ellie. Gaby sees several men coming and leaving Ellie's room. Gaby thinks that Ellie is running a brothel out of their guest room, which infuriates Gaby as that is her signature move. Gaby concocts an elaborate ruse with the help of her fem gay neighbor to catch Ellie red vaginad. When he propositions Ellie for sex in exchange for money, Ellie punches him to the ground and begins kicking him. Gaby interrupts the beating and gets in a good kick before she finally tells Ellie about her suspicions. Ellie tells Gaby that she is a tattoo artist and the men that Gaby has seen are merely getting tattoos.
Lynette: Lynette finds out that Kayla told the boys to start the fire. Lynette confronts Kayla and Kayla responds with a deadpan expression like The Bad Seed. Lynette takes Kayla to a therapist. Kayla tells Lynette that she is going to go to the police and tell them what the boys did. Lynette sees the pure evil in the girl's eyes and quickly removes her from the doctor's office. Later while Tom and Lynette argue Kayla convinces the boys that she jumped off the roof using an umbrella to float to the ground safely. When one of the boys tries this he hurdles to the ground like a bag of wet cement and breaks his arm.
Susan: Goes to Lamaze and runs into her ex-husband and his child bride. She tries to impress him, until he finds out Mike is a recovering addict. Antics ensue.
Katherine: Katherine decides to follow Dylan on one of her dates and spies Dylan and her dad, Wayne, having dinner together. Later Dylan tells her mom the truth and asks if Katherine would meet with him so they can be one big happy family again. Katherine agrees and Dylan's dad comes in the house. When Dylan goes upstairs Katherine tells her ex-husband that she knows why he's really there and warns him that she can't be pushed around anymore, while cutting vegetables with a very sharp knife.
We open this week with Edie going for her daily run from the devil when Bree spots the plastic blur go by her window. Bree chases after Edie, who is easy to catch since she's jogging in Lucite platforms, and stops her on the street. Bree tells Edie that she needs to stop going after Orson simply out of spite. Orson has a finite number of ejaculations left and Bree may need those if she decides to take him back. Edie puts on bravado and her usual lot lizard class, which leads Bree to slap Edie and storm off.
It's the week before Mother's Day on Wisteria Lane, and the rest of the country I assume, so Mike's mother stops by to visit her son now that he's sure not to steal cash from her pocketbook for smack. Mike's mother is doting, Southern and a full-on passive aggressive bitch to Susan. Mike's mom tells Susan that every wife and mother should be a chef in the kitchen, a maid in the living room, a whore in the bedroom and a bear on the toilet therefore Mike's mother is there to help Susan learn how to cook and clean.

Gumdoll!!! Tucking it!!!! Absolutely hysterical!!! You are always worth the wait.
So is it me, or does anyone else feel sorry for Edie--I find it pathetic that her blackmail is to make Bree be her friend, it's "sniff" so sad . . . I recall a simillar thing with Susan near the start of the show . . . she's my fave on the show, and my God she's a good tucker, cos I never see the slightest bum where her vulva should be . . . why should she need to read, Tucking it, when she could be the editor!

I'm still on the first page...
Nice recap of the past 2 weeks. It's pretty sad that the plotlines can be summed up that easily and quickly. Goes to show nothing of any substance is happening on the show.
Correction: Katherine was rolling dough with her bare hands with the knife lying in an open drawer while talking to her ex-husband. The "I will kill you" threat was implied.

So I finally finished reading the rest of the recap. Good job. I like the run-on sentences that are 50% truth and 50% would be awesome if this really happened!
I hope Edie is leaving for good. Her character is no longer necessary. She's running out of husbands/boyfriends to steal. DH did surprise me a little this week by not making Lynette offended when they realized Tom is the only hubby Edie hasn't stolen, yet (with good reason).
Btw, I cheered when Lynette slapped Kayla. I guess that makes me as evil as Kayla, but I don't care. More kids need to be slapped. Maybe then we wouldn't have to put up with their evil delinquent ways as adults.
