Bree loves the idea, although she's pissed that she didn't think of it first, and takes the lead to delegate responsibilities. Susan gets drinks since she's an idiot, Gaby is assigned vegetable lasagna, Katherine can do a simple green salad and Bree says that she will make the dessert herself. Katherine obviously doesn't understand how the ladies roll there on the Wist Si-eed, and contradicts Brees's declaration, saying that she would like to make the dessert. Bree ain't havin' none of it and says that she always makes dessert. Katherine replies that the movers lost her salad bowls but her pie plates are available. The two volley niceties back and forth, until Susan chimes in that she will be happy to lend Katherine a large salad bowl since Bree's pie is perfection. Tangy, sweet and flaming red. Katherine rescinds and says that she can't argue with perfection, but she certainly can correct it. She removes her sewing scissors from their scabbard to cut a loose thread from Bree's dress. Bree gets that reserved angry look on her face, but it's probably just the fake-pregnancy hormones.
They both look like they're in their 20s. See how hard is it to lie?
Next we see Lynette and Tom in the chemo room trying to play cards, and Tom is being a raging pussy. He's almost on the verge of tears and keeps talking about the good old times, and how much he loves Lynette and does the worst thing a husband can do: lets her win at gin. Lynette is as awesome as ever and kicks Tom out for being such a pussy telling him that he's bringing her down. I'm totally going to be her for Halloween this year.
"Madam Lynetta sees greeeeeaaaat plot holes in your future"
Carlos comes home to find a sporty little import with a big bumper in his driveway. No not Gaby, it's a sports car. Edie comes out and explains that it's Carlos's birthday gift to her that he is going to purchase with some of his embezzled money from the Cayman's. Carlos tells her that people will start to ask questions if he begins buying $80,000 cars when he's supposed to be a poor....whatever he does. I'm not exactly sure what Carlos's job is supposed to be these days but I'm guessing cigar model. Yea, he'd make a great cigar model. Anyway, Carlos is standing on the receiving end of Edie's throbbing, veiny hissy fit as she tells him she'll take the car back before speeding away with another veiled threat about the secrets she knows somehow coming out.
Remember on Six Feet Under when this actor got caught getting pounded in Federico's living room? Now he's dating Edie. He's typecast.
Susan comes to Katherine's to bring her that salad bowl she mentioned and we are treated to one of those flashback scenes when the ladies were in their 30's and the bob haircut was wildly popular. Tommy Dorsey topped the charts, headlines declared "Dewey Wins" and the "talky" was the latest invention sweeping the nation. We see Susan and Mary Alice coming to Katherine's door to inquire about the moving van in her driveway. Katherine tells them that things have been really crazy since she was offered a new job in Chicago and they're leaving that night. Again, a character on television is unable to lie, even though that's all these people seem to ever do.
A loud crash is heard from the other room and Katherine yells, "That's OK. Just keep packing." Susan's Botox-senses are tingling and she asks Katherine if she's OK since she's so jumpy, but Katherine says she's fine and tells Susan through tears that she's really going to miss her before closing the door. Mary Alice then says, "I came back to life for one freakin' line?" We flash back from the flash back to modern times as Katherine answers the door and once again all hair is right with the world. Susan does some investigating and asks Katherine about her alleged job in Chicago, and right on queue, Katherine lies about it poorly.
"Honey, those creepy Jehovah's Witnesses are back."

Thanks Clair!
Although rereading it I noticed a glaring error. Nathan Fillion's character's name is Adam, not Sam. I don't know where I got Sam from. I obviously have S&m on my mind again.

OMG!!!!!! Riotous, absolutely hysterical--I am so hated for the good time I'm having reading these in the presence of the uninitiated (though I try)
Can't wait for more . . .

Oh, my eyes! What in the heck is that picture on page 4 (Edie's dream wedding gown)?!? That thing will be featured in my nightmares tonight. The other parts of the recap, however, are gold. :-)

Fozziebare!!!Great recap! Can i just say regarding susan in her lingerie;
1)I can never unsee it, DAMN.
2)Gross, she looked like a mummy that had been unwrapped, all dried up and dessicated.
3)Her boobs? um if they had pushed those B cups up anymore they would have been over her ears.
So bored with the edie tranny blackmail story, WAKE UP carlos, just move your money to a different account and run while you can!

Enjoyed the recap.
Did any one else think it was odd that a pregnant Susan tasted what she presumed to be beer out of Julie's cup at the party? Even though it wound up being orange soda, she thought it was alcohol: a little irresponsible for a prego mama. Way to go, Susan!

Funny recap. Queenlala, you're right. It was irresponsible of pregnant Susan to try her daughter's red-cup-of-mysterious-liquid, especially at a "rowdy" party. Anything could've been in that cup. GHB is definitely no good for Susan, Jr. The other thing that struck me as strange about it is that drink turned out to be orange soda. Huh? I'm not really a drinker, but is there any alcoholic drink that could be confused with orange soda??? I mean, that doesn't have a straw and umbrella hanging off the rim of the cup...
I think Carlos is probably hiring that dude to date Eddie so she'll become unobsessed with him. Why the big bulk of cash then? Well, it costs a lot to get a hetero man to date a tranny, but every man has his price. :)
