RSS'Desperate Housewives': Marry me, Bree
Tonight on "Desperate Housewives," Karl proposes to Bree. Holy crap.Bree's Bridal Shower
Our lovely neighborhood redhead starts to fall for Karl and just as she tries to break up with him, he gives her a beautiful antique cameo and says, "I love you." Holy crap. Of course, Bree wears it to a dinner party at Susan's and Susan recognizes it. Bree returns it to Susan, while shooting daggers at Karl (who is dropping off Julie).
Bree uses this duplicitous re-gifting as a reason to break up with Karl but he just blurts out "Will you marry me?" HOLY CRAP. DH is really busting out the the big guns for sweeps. Bree goes to Susan to fish for information on Karl. Susan actually says some nice things about Karl.
Bree then goes back to Karl and tells him he should focus on getting her divorced first and then they'll work on the changed Karl he promises to become. She says no sex for a month so that she can be sure it's real.
Right at the end of the episode, Orson goes to the antique store where Bree says she purchased the cameo and finds out they don't sell antique jewelry, only furniture. DUN DUN DUN.
Gabby & Carlos' Blanks
At the elementary school Thanksgiving pageant, Juanita forgets her lines and says the F-word in front of the whole school. Oops. And also: HA! Swearing little kids is funny. The principal is making Juanita draft an apology letter, drop out of the Thanksgiving pageant and be on cafeteria-cleaning detail. Gabby goes ballistic and when the principal questions Gabby's parenting skills, Gabby pulls Juanita out of the school.
Since no private schools have any openings, Carlos tells Gabby she has to home-school Juanita. Uh, there aren't any public schools in Fairview? It looks like a fairly suburban, affluent community. There really aren't any suitable public schools? I went to a public school and got a top-notch high school education. That's just silly. They don't live in East St. Louis.
Home-schooling doesn't go so well because Juanita wants to be back in school. Gabby has to fix it with the principal.
Lynette's Cheater
Tom comes home drunk with some of his "college" buddies. There was a bar and some beer pong and they call him "T-Scav" and that's all well and good when you're 20 years old, but seriously Tom. You're a middle-aged father of 4 (soon to be 6) so rein it in.
A few days later, Tom says he's going to the library but really he's going to a party. Lynette heads to the party to bust him and finds out that Tom is being "T-Scav" in order to get mid-term answers. Oh Tom.
At home, he confesses to Lynette that he's drowning in college, especially a required course that he doesn't need (statistics). Lynette says what he does is talk to her or talk to his professors but he doesn't cheat. He calls her on lying about being pregnant and tells her not to act all self-righteous.
Susan & Katherine's Tension
Katherine comes to apologize for her cuckoo-pants behavior and she manages to apologize in the craziest of ways. When Susan is hesitant to be BFF with Katherine, Katherine passive-aggressively threatens to sue Susan and essentially blackmails her into being friends.
When Katherine calls late at night for plumbing help from Mike, Susan insists that Mike help her but since it's in the master bathroom, Susan comes with Mike to help. Katherine is quite surprised when she answers the door in a negligee and Susan is there. Susan sneaks upstairs and finds Katherine's love nest for Mike. They start fighting and end up in the bathtub. Natch.
The Bolens
Angie gazes at a picture of her mother and is sad because tomorrow is her birthday and her mom passed away. We find out later that Angie's mom is alive and doesn't know where they are. Katherine overhears because she's being all "Bonnie & Clyde" with Angie like they're partners in crime and stops by unannounced.
Katherine wants the gun for evidence so she can get Susan arrested. Angie pushes her off but she calls Susan over to spill the beans about Katherine's lunacy about Susan. Angie plants the seed in Susan's mind that Katherine strangled Julie.
Thoughts & Tidbits
- Now that Angie has turned the suspicion on Katherine, I no longer suspect her. My suspicion's back on Nick Bolen.
- Carlos: We are both at fault, but you're home-schooling her.
Gabby: Fine. But I know someone who isn't getting blanked tonight.
Carlos: Fine with me. I blanked-off earlier. - [Lynette gives Gabby a globe for home-schooling Juanita]
Lynette: Here you go, Gabby. It's kind-of old, it's from before the Soviet Union broke up.
Gabby: The Soviet Union broke up?

You know what, now I think Angie herself strangled Julie. Nick would be the too obvious choice.
Wouldn't Bree have thought it might have been Susan's brooch at one time in the first place? And why on earth didn't Bree offer to give the brooch to Julie when she found out it had been Susan's? After all, it is from Julie's great grandparents. Certainly giving the brooch back to Karl's family would have cleared Bree from any wrongdoing in others' minds. This bothered me the entire episode.
I enjoyed this episode alot and even though i am not for Bree and Karl happily ever after, I am definately starting to like Karl more. Yeah Orson is finding out more and more about the affair, i can't wait for the Orson and Karl showdown, my money is on Karl. Sadly, this episode continues to make me believe that Karl or Orson will die.
Katherine and Susans fight in the bathtub, hilarious. someone please get Katherine a boyfriend.
Katherine and Angie partners? I don't think so, if Katherine keeps walking into the Bolens house unannounce then she will get shot again, and this time on purpose by one of the Bolens. Hopefully, it will not kill Katherine because i still like her.
Gabby's daughter says the f word during a school play. I personally do not like teachers or principals so this may sound crazy. I 90% on Gabby's side just because i believe a month of anything for saying the f-word is too much. Gabby is not a bad mom because her daughter cuses but she does not earn mother of the year for getting her daughter kick out of school. No sweat Gabby i would have done the same.
Public school is not really all that bad. You are 100% right, their should be some sort of good public school in fairview. Oh well, it was funny to see Gabby be a teacher. I am sure Carlos and Gabby will eventually hire a tutor or send Juanita to a good public school. Or knowing Gabby she will find a way to get a girl kicked out of their public school and her juanita will take her spot before it is too late.
Tom is cheating, cheating is wrong but so is lying Lynette. Tom, just because someone else is doing something bad does not justify your own selfish bad act, cheating is wrong. If you were going to confront Lynette on the lying you should not try to do it in a way that will hurt her. I still love both these guys though. T-scave, yeah.
Angie is getting Katherine and Susan against each other, or at least she is not helping the problem and now Angie makes susan think that Katherine strangled Julie. Now it makes me wonder whether or not Angie strangled Julie because she hurt his son, remember their fight on the street in the first episode, or maybe she knows of the affair.
Favorite scene: Lynette confronting tom about the cheating and tom confronting lynette about the party. Very well done by these two actors.
Hello
Hey I like this show very much and I watch it regularly.I always enjoyed it a lot.Thank you very much for sharing its episode with us.You have done a good job.
I thought Juanita was in public school and that was the school that Gabby got her kicked out of -- did I miss something that said it wasn't a public school?
This episode was ridiculous, as have been most of the recent shows. I will be bailing soon if it doesn't get any better.
I kind of hate Gabby's kid. She's a damn fine mother, constantly trying to protect the girl and fight for her. Okay, so it doesn't work out, but it was so disrespectful and sad that the little girl sees her mother as a bad mom. Maybe she's a bad daughter...
thanks for the east st louis crack. jackie joyner kersee would love it, and my cousin who grew up there and is a doctor, and his sister who's a nurse. let's see, my college buddy was raised there and became the mayor.
actually tom will soon have 7 kids. porter, preston, parker, penny, (twins on the way)and kyla
Andrea, are your Sunday evenings really so full that you do not have time to write a thoughtful and coherent recap? Yours reads as though you knocked it off in fifteen minutes - devoid of any insight or humor. Only half a dozen comments indicates your audience is leaving in droves. Zap2it continues to head downhill, and I am so sorry to see it.
