Lynette comes home from the Scarfitorium to find Tom waiting for her on the front porch. Lynette immediately assumes the worst, but Tom tells her that someone is there to see her. When led into the house we see veteran character actor and all around queer Richard Chamberlain as Lynette's stepfather Glen. Lynette is tearfully glad to see him since they haven't spoken since Stella drove him away with her infidelity when Lynette was a child. At least that was the official story. Stella called him for money and he thought Lynette would like to know that her mother had been living in a car that she had broken into. My mom can't even use her microwave. Lynette and Glen concoct a plan to corner Stella when Glen goes to meet her with the money so that Lynette can grab her and drag her home by her wig cap.

"If this hand could talk......well, it would probably just try and catch its breath."

As Bree is exiting Orson's office, freshly splooged, she runs into Adam who is stopping by to see Orson. Bree tells Adam to go on in since Orson is in the exam room doing nothing but readjusting his chair and mopping. When Adam enters the exam room he asks Orson if he would be willing to write a prescription for Mike since Mike is in a lot of pain, and keeping a big secret for Adam. Orson tells Adam that's it's not ethical for him to write a prescription for Mike before Adam subtly reminds Orson how he is happily keeping the secret that Benjamin is not Bree's baby, rather Danielle's. I love the smell of Jewish guilt in the morning.

When Bree pulls into her driveway she sees Andrew loading up his leather swing and a box marked "dilldows" written in red crayon into the trunk of his car. Orson obviously banged out Bree's common sense because she asks Andrew what he's doing despite the obvious clues. Andrew says that he's chosen to move out so that his stink of failure won't smell up their new baby bungalow. Bree pleads with him to stay but Andrew says he's already paid the deposit; well more like worked it off in trade, and is sticking with his choice. He drives off leaving Bree in the driveway upset and perplexed, and still freshly splooged.

"Was I speeding officer? I'll be happy to take some kind of breathalizer to avoid a ticket, if you know what I mean. I mean I'll blow you."

Orson meets Mike in a dark and seedy corner of Wisteria Lane to supply him with a prescription for "the stuff." Orson tells Mike that he's not comfortable giving it to him because medication is only meant to treat symptoms and make you forget where mommy touched you. If the pain is truly chronic he should see a physical therapist or get run over with another car to reverse the polarity. Mike says that he doesn't need physical therapy, he needs a few weeks off but can't take them because the baby needs a college fund, Susan needs her goat placenta injections to maintain her youthful glow, and Julie needs another case of tweezers to pluck her enormous chin. Mike tells Orson that when he signed on to this suburban dad gig he assumed it would be more like a Hulk Hogan movie where he'd get to wear a tutu. Mike shares the fact that he's been in pain everyday since he got hit by a car, causing Orson to gulp like Ichabod Crane. Orson calls the event a tragic accident but Mike tells him that he's sure it was no accident. Whoever ran him over meant to do it, and based on the police profile it was a middle aged pan-faced momma's boy with greasy hair and thin lips. Mike vows to track down the man that ran him over and make him pay. Orson quickly hands over the prescription and wishes Mike a speedy recovery before racing home to his momm.....wife.

OMG that was brilliant. That was flipit brilliant! I usually only laugh that hard at flipits recaps but you have outdone yourself! I love this show but this recap tops it!
Sadly knowing these writers they will kill off one of the gay guys. Surely they wouldn't kill Andrew, not when he just started to act like a man...........shit. He's toast!

roadtripper8:

LOVED the Daria reference!

I missed this episode because I forgot to set my DVR. No fear... your recaps are way better than the show... leaving me to ask myself "Why do I still bother?"

If Andrew dies, I will experience accute buzzkill. Can't they just kill Danielle instead?

Rvrctylady:

Great recap. I agree this episode was entertaining, just not exciting. I do think that someone close to Lynette dies since the previews show her screaming. I also see Susan falling down the steps, or did Mike accidently push her??
Whatever happens, I cannot wait for Sunday night !!
And please do not let it be Andrew...gay or straight I love him.

lotsofhose:

I have to agree with roadtripper8- dont kill Andrew, kill Danielle- I mean what has she brought to the table the last 2 years? Andrew has all the juice- Danielle is a raisen!


Fozzie- the comment about Gaby being a 4 ft tall supermodel in ny-too funny, never occured to me how insane that story is.

Also the thornbirds reference- hilarious!

juddfan:

Fozzie, Fozzie, Fozzie . . . I'm with Cherie--You and Flipit rock my world!!! did you happen to get Edie's doctors number, I want to be trannyliscous too!!!

And yeah, Tivo never gets upcoming scenes, so besides whipping hair, I didn't know someone would die, but I'm guessing one of the new neighbors or Mike . . . wouldn't that be un-boring!!!

fire@will:

Another fine recap.

Maybe Lie-net's husband will die. Or his daughter we hardly ever see.

My hope, though, would be to (officially) kill off Mike.

Donna Martin Graduates!:

Witty recap. Thank you.

That is all.
