At the hospital there is a news report on the television saying that another tornado has touched down outside of Mount Pleasant but both Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton, or possibly Pullman, are safe and accounted for. Mike rushes in the door carrying Susan in his arms as if she weighed no more than that new Lindsay Lohan doll that's sweeping the nation. Unfortunately many people were already injured by the storm so Susan's little tumble isn't considered critical despite her pregnancy. Mike tries to demand immediate attention but the tiny nurse Chenbot tells him that a doctor can see Susan. "BUT FIRST, we're going to stop all the other patients from dying." Denied!
Katherine is fuming at Adam for not telling her that Crazy had visited their house. Adam promises Katherine that he will get a restraining order to make sure that she never comes knocking on their door again, right before there's a knock upon their door. Katherine and Adam both look at the door, then back to each other, spit in each other's face and simultaneously say "I love you." Katherine goes to answer the door to find Bree on the doorstep who asks to borrow Adam to help her with a little situation back at her house.
"Hello, is this the Creepy residence?"
Adam and Katherine both come with Bree to try and lure Crazy out of the terlet. Katherine asks Bree why Crazy is in Bree's house in the first place, and Bree tells her that she saw the woman crying and offered to lend an ear. "I can't help that I have a sympathetic face. It's the one I bought." Katherine calls Bree on her lie and says she knows Bree wanted nothing but dirt. Adam knocks on the bathroom door and asks Crazy to come out, but when Crazy calls Adam "darling" through the door, Katherine pipes up and insists that she not call her husband that word. "Shithead and dickless, however are fine." Bree drags Katherine away so that Adam can work his magic and get that nut out of her loo.
While in the kitchen Katherine asks Bree what Crazy had told her. Bree tells Katherine that Crazy insisted that she and Adam had an affair. Katherine corrects the story and says that Crazy is, get this, crazy, and built up the relationship in her head. One day Adam gave her a sympathetic 15-second open mouth, tongue twirly kiss, and Crazy took it to mean they were in love. When Adam wouldn't pursue the relationship, Crazy had a breakdown and accused Adam of sexual harassment. Instead of a lengthy trial, Adam settled out of court, but in the process lost his practice, he and Katherine's savings and all of their friends in Chicago which is how they ended up back on Wisteria Lane. Bree tells Katherine that she too would have spit in the woman's face, and Katherine and Bree start spitting in each other's face and just laugh and laugh.
My Aunt Edna gives this episode a "whaaahhhht?"
In Miss McCluskey's dungeon, she and Ida are enjoying a game of strip poker, when Lynette and the kids file in like the Von Trapps on coke. The kids immediately start screaming and finding small animals to torture, and are thrilled when their dad points out that there is a cat in the basement with them. Them's good eatin'. Ida brought her one friend, Mrs. Whiskerson Von Tinklesberry III with her but unfortunately Tom is highly allergic. Lynette asks Ida if it she would mind if they put the cat in a closet upstairs, but Ida tells her only if they can put one of her kids in the closet too. Lynette initially agrees to send the little one that she never really liked anyway but then realizes child protection is on her ass like glue, so she better watch her step. Lynette tries to tell Ida that the cat is just and animal and her husband, who is 83% human being is in pain. Big M steps in and tells Lynette that if she has a problem with Ida's cat she can take her demon children and leave.
These two are playing Old Maid. The cards are just a formality.

I totally forgot about Andrew leaving home. I just assumed he, Lee and Neil were having a Wizard of Oz party.

I know my husband and I weren't the only people in Tornado Alley laughing out loud and the "preparations for the tornado warning to come!"
We really couldn't take any of the other stuff seriously because we just couldn't stop laughing at the whole storm is coming thing.

He didn't push me down the stairs -- I'm just really klutzy. Luckily my freakishly giant boobs broke my fall.

Great recap Fozzie! And thanks for being the only recapper since Season 1 to actually consistently watch and recap every episode of this torturous, but somehow addictive show.
Seriously though, Victor dying? First of all, a mayor with presidential aspirations wouldn't be stupid enough to personally kill his wife's ex-husband (or his wife if he was going after Gabby). Second, it makes for a much better storyline for Gabby to stay married to a Victor after she tried to kill him. Marc Cherry is a dumb shit, honestly I could come up with better storylines.
This ep. definately did not live up to the "BEST EPISODE OF THE SEASON" commercials that ABC ran all week. I really couldn't believe that was it... and I predict the kids aren't dead. Maybe Tom is injured or something, but if there is one thing that is consistent about DH its that they don't take risks in writing. Predictability always wins.

Awesome recap(per)!
Ida makes sense for the room temperature "friend", which means Lynette's husband isn't put out of his/our misery... and since it isn't cable (or my dreams), the kids will be okay, too.
The special effects were laughable. Objects fly through the air while trees in the background remain stationary or characters stand without leaning into the wind.
No way even Lynette would leave her kids in that situation to chase after a cat... even with the lovely Mrs. McClusky thrown in.
Oddly loved watching Crazy sucking to her probable doom. (But still love ya, Tina Fey! XOXO)
I will miss your inspired recaps more than the show itself!

Meant "sucked", but Freudian works, too.

I think this is the first time I've responded to anything related to this show, but I just couldn't pass this opportunity up!
First off, I agree with KutiePie. I live in Indiana, and we have tornadoes/watches/and warnings weekly throughout the summer and other times during the year. What the heck? When was the last time you taped your windows in preparation? haha
Oh...and the fact that the people outside had like 25 minutes to fight and chase cats or whatever while the tornado was RIGHT THERE on their street was also funny.
And "stationary background trees." I noticed that too. Good stuff.
For what it's worth, I say that Victor and the old lady in the basement are dead.

Susan, Edie, Lynette, Bree, & Gaby are all alive, so ABC's marketing department is full of shit. Those are the only "main characters" on the show.
I wish Danielle had gotten sucked into the tornado swirl along with Crazy. Now THAT ending would've been worth all of the residuals in the world. And it only took me 2 seconds to think of it. Show me the money!
