'Desperate Housewives': The grass is always gayer
In this episode of "Desperate Housewives," the kids are really throwing a wrench into lives on The Lane while two of our housewives go gay.Gabrielle goes gay
Gabrielle is having a crazy mom morning. When they find out Celia has the chicken pox, Gaby, who has never had them, takes the chance to escape the madness. In the meantime, she stays with Lee and Bob. She's loving their childless gay life. When she finds out the kids aren't contagious anymore, she is reticent to go back and makes up a stomach virus. At a party later, Gaby goes upstairs to find somewhere quiet and she discovers a nursery. Bob walks in and admits that they've been having a hard time adopting and while she may envy their life, they envy hers.
A birthday Lynette will never forget (again)
Tom and Lynette start the morning with forgetting Penny's birthday and they can't cover it up. Later that night, Lynette throws her a make-up birthday, but when the cake comes out it says the wrong name! Lynette accidentally put the name she wanted for the new baby on the cake. Later, when Penny doesn't show up on the bus, her friend tells Lynette that she's running away and hands her a note from Penny. At the police station, they tell her that they've found Penny trying to use their credit card to check into a hotel room. When Lynette goes to apologize, Penny admits she's not mad at her mom, she's mad at the new baby. Lynette convinces her that with all the guys growing up and moving out, soon the gals will be running the house.
Susan's meddling is the least of Roy's problems
Susan and Mike go over to the old folks', Karen and Roy's place, for breakfast and Susan stirs up some trouble. She basically guilt trips Roy into proposing to Karen. Later when Susan comes over to show Roy a bouquet for Karen, he tells her to butt out. He's now scared that he won't be able to stay faithful to her, since their relationship will lose its exciting "living in sin" nature. Then, he plants a kiss on Susan. Now, she wants to warn Karen, but Mike thinks she has meddled enough.
Of course, she doesn't listen and she walks over to tell her. Before she tells Karen, she finds out that Karen possibly has lung cancer. On the way out, Roy tells her that Karen's cancer has changed his mind. He realized losing her would be the worst thing.
Katherine's dream comes trueKatherine has a steamy dream about Robin and it clearly unnerves her. At therapy later, she tells her doctor about the dream. Katherine is convinced that there's some hidden meaning in the dream and doesn't believe she can just change into a lesbian. Her doctor tells her that she should steer away from relationships altogether. He thinks it's best that Katherine ask Robin to move out. Later when she gets home, Robin tells her that she got a new job. When she opens a bottle of champagne, Robin spills some on her top and starts taking it off. Katherine freaks out and blurts out that Robin needs to move out. After Katherine tells her she's starting to have feelings for her, Robin admits that she also has feelings for Katherine. Next thing we know, Robin and Katherine are naked in bed.
Danny is AWOL
Angie finds a note from Danny saying he went camping with a friend. While her husband thinks it OK, it freaks Angie out. Little does he know, huh? When she sees Danny's friend at the store, he tells her that they never went camping. In fact, Danny went to New York City to chase after Ana.
Bree's new hire is like a son to her (or he wants to be)
Bree and Andrew aren't seeing eye to eye right now when it comes to running the company. When Tad, one of their employees, orders 100 floral arrangements instead of 10, Bree freaks out. Andrew asks that she let him deal with it. Later, Sam (played by "Mad Men's" Sam Page), who's a big Bree fanboy, stops by and solicits Bree for a job. She basically tells him she has nothing for him, but when he solves her extra floral arrangement problem, she reconsiders.
When Andrew finds out Bree hired Sam, he's not happy. And when Sam suggests they fire Tad, Andrew becomes argumentative. He then accuses Andrew of having an affair with Tad and Andrew confesses that he has. Bree is shocked and while Andrew brings up her affair with Karl, Bree still thinks firing Tad is the best thing.
Later, Sam suggests to Bree that Andrew may be feeling a sense of entitlement and that cutting the apron strings may be the best thing. After she leaves, he takes Andrew's "greatest son" mug and drinks from it. Um, crazy stalker!!!
How do you feel about Katherine's blossoming lesbian romance? And, are you as excited as me about the Bree/Andrew/Sam power struggle that's going down? Are you excited to see Angie's next move to get Danny back?

I'm so glad Danny and Ana are gone. I'm not delusional, I know they'll be back (gag), but it was a better episode due to their absence.
I don't know how I feel about Katherine's lesbian adventures - yet. I am glad that she's still seeing her doctor and the point that I brought up last time was mentioned - how is she looking to get into a relationship if she's still a little out there?
Sam is crazy! It was funny that Bree called him a deranged stalker and he is!
Why don't these women ever do better background checks!!?
I still love Angie, Bob and Lee. Good ep.
Very gay episode!
I like Robin. I hope she sticks around.
completely agree with Luara on the Katherine thing. Hello, you were crazy over Mike. And what about the whole "i was born gay" theory. If Katherine's gay then i think the writer of Desperate Housewives or at least Marc Cherry does not stand behind that theory. I am going to throw up if Katherine starts saying that all her life she felt gay because as hard as she fell for Mike and her Second husband (Nathan Fillon or whatever) i highly doubt she felt that way since she was born. For those of you who wondering yes i am a Conservative Republican, let the hate mail begin.
As for all the other storylines and character introductions it is nice to see the writers actually writing material that can be stretched out and resolved in the finale. Bree's new employee, i wonder how they are going to spin that. My hopes, make him go completely crazy over Bree, not in a mother way but in a "i love you so much it makes me bleed inside" type of way. It would not be unusual for this show seeing how it is already filled with crazy people.
Susan, well it is Susan, once again it was some very weak material. Susan almost seems like one of those characters that you can do away with all together. Sad about Mrs. M. cancer though. I hope she can fight through it but given her age, no offense, it is going to be tough.
Lynette forgetting her daughter birthday and putting the wrong name on the cake. oooch! i love the way this story played out especially the fact that in the end of the day their were no tears from Lynette and we finally get a Penny centric storyline, yeah!!!! The young actress did a good job too.
Gaby is Gaby, she get to be single and gay all in one week. no she has not made out with another women on the lane but she did hang out with Bob and Lee. And even though i am Conservative, I love Bob and Lee. I wish i could go party and get hammered and then come back home and get even more hammered. Who am i kidding, i am single, i can still do that.
Katherine going down the gay path and Julie Benz is still talking like she is five. I will say the fantasy at the beginning was hilarious. I mean i was like, has this show become a porn. Julie Benz has an amazing body, why did they not show it more on her other show, Dexter, i will never know.
Angie discovered that Danny is gone to new york. I love how he acts like he does not know his parents are on the run and so he could just leave a note for them and that will be good for everyone. Now it looks like in the new episode we will have Angie in New York and hopefully some serious digging in her past.
I loved last night's episode, the most exciting thing about it was probably the thing with Bree, Andrew and Sam.. can't wait to find out what that's about! I don't know how I feel about The Katherine-Robin plot.
I don't want Ana to come back, but I would like to have Danny back..
Isn't Madison De La Garza overweight? Where is child services?
Good episode! Hope that Julie Benz stick around!
Gay 101:
You may be born gay, that doesn't mean you will realize it instantly! It is especially true since society promotes heterosexuality as the "normal", expected way of life. A lot of gays and lesbians date people of the opposite sex before they realize that something is missing...
Why does ABC feel that the only way to create spark in an otherwise useless female character is to make her gay?
Not that I'm against the pairing necessarily, it just seems to come out of left field for Katherine (ala GA) and that's annoying.
Likewise with the suddenly stalker-boy. How many chef's have their own stalker? I'm just saying.
BUT...LOVED that they are using Lee and Bob more. I adore them! Putting Gaby in their world was perfect!
Susan continues to annoy me with her seemingly lack of boundaries...and Lynette forgetting her daughter's bday was priceless!
btw..just because someone has a fling with someone of the same sex it doesn't mean they were 'born gay'. It can be an option just like anything else.
Katherine missed this stage in college so she is catching up now. As for Robin. Well Robin is just delicious.
