Desperate Housewives -- "Back in Business" -- 10/19/08

Synopsis:

Spoiler:


Bree's success evokes jealousy on Wisteria Lane; Lynette, who misses using her business expertise, offers Bree unsolicited marketing advice; Mike feels as though he's not a part of MJ's life while Susan teaches their reluctant young son how to fall; and Gaby wants Carlos to be more amorous. Meanwhile, Dave's real reason for moving to Wisteria Lane begins to come into focus.

Bree is really pissing me off. She is alienating her husband, and her friends. Especially her friendship with Lynette. Sure, she may not agree with Lynette's advertising approach, but, she doesn't have to be so cold about it. Lynette was right, even though she was drunk, but, when Lynette was the high-powered executive, she didn't look down upon Bree, or any of her friends.

I hope Bree will wake up, and see what she is neglecting, or she will lose what really matters most!

Edited to add:

I'm very proud of Lynette. Even though she is jealous of Bree's success, she's willing to stand beside Bree, and be there for her.

I'm also very glad that Bree finally felt the walls crashing around her, and decided to let Orson be her partner.

I'm guessing that Dave's bizarre obsession with getting Mike to join the band is pointing to Mike being who Dave wants to exact revenge on. If that's the case, Mike's had a really tough time on Wisteria Lane. I think I'd move far away, if I were him!

The show is on a roll - and definitely at its best when they steer away from Susan's new love life.

Gaby and Carlos blind play date; Maynard's stand still-fall
"Bethany's mom will take Juanita once a wk. for TWO whole hours. That is sex and a nap!"

Will Dave need Carlos to complete his garage band of revenge??

I hope we get some sort of answers about Dave soon, they are really stretching that story out.

My grandfather has a theory that Dave may be related to the woman and child Susan and Mike killed in that car wreck in Episode 1. Perhaps he's in town to seek revenge?

That's a very interesting theory, and certainly plausible. I think it's great that your grandfather watches Desperate Housewives! I wonder if he has his eye on one of these women?

They have turned Lynette into one of the most unlikeable characters on this show.

Yep.

Good theory on Dave above.

But wouldn't Dave's vendetta be against Susan then? And why does his diabolical plan require Mike to play guitar in a band???

That is the general consensus that alot of people feel. I happen to agree.

Well, this week I am once again horrified by the actions of these women. This time it is towards Susan. Making your 5 year old son fall down? What kind of mother would do that?

The kind that makes her ex feel like he's got a relationship with his son. 5-year-olds fall down all the time -- frequently on purpose. Usually getting them to calm down is the problem.

That's been my guess every since he debuted on the show. I figured that he was the husband of the woman and father of the child, but I think that would be a little too close, so maybe the brother of the women instead.

Sperm!

As far as stupid plans go, Susan's wasn't THAT horrible. I at least could see the rationale behind it.

So, is this taking place in 2013 or is the timeline just a TV cheat?

If it's not a cheat, bring on the hoverboards, transporters and hologram phones!!!!!
