On tonight's episode of Desperate Housewives, there's cheating, lying, infidelity, and a kid getting kicked off a Thanksgiving pageant for swearing. So yes, it's just like any episode on Desperate Housewives.
On the episode, Lynette (Felicity Huffman) discovers that her husband Tom may be growing backwards, as he has been cheating on his tests and wanting to lead the life of a frat-boy. Meanwhile, the Bolens saga continues, and the latest revelation is Angie (Drea de Mateo) trying to hide the truth about her mother, raising suspicion yet again. Elsewhere on "Don't Walk on the Grass" Gaby (Eva Longoria-Parker) is upset when Juanita is kicked out of the Thanksgiving pageant for swearing. Only, she makes matters worse because she getting involved leads to expulsion. Finally, Orson (Kyle MacLachlan) is inadvertently pushing Bree (Marcia Cross) further to Karl's arms.
On the last episode of
Desperate Housewives, there were the following: a sexist handyman, a conscientious hotel cleaning lady, a judgmental parent, and a gunshot.
Karen asked Lynette a favor to hire Roy to fix stuff around the house because when he's idle and not doing anything, their sex life suffers (way to go, Karen). So being the good friend, Lynette obliged, but the contract didn't last long because Roy would always go to Tom before he did anything, irking the strong independent woman that is Lynette. The two guys finally had a man-to-man and Tom basically told him that Lynette had a rather scary childhood that sort of justified her being a control freak, and as her husband, he lets her control him because it makes her feel safe.
Meanwhile, Gaby was all of a sudden questioning her own unique brand of parenting (negligence) when pandemonium erupted in Juanita's party because of an overworked monkey. Good thing Carlos was able to show her the light, that their daughters are both independent and resourceful precisely because of Gaby's negligent parenting.
Uptight and condescending Bree had a dose of her own medicine when the cleaning lady from the hotel gave her a stern lecture on infidelity. "Enjoy it while it lasts, because mine didn't last," she told Bree, who insisted that the lady didn't know Orson so she shouldn't judge her. Finally, Susan (Teri Hatcher) inadvertently shot Katherine (Dana Delaney) in the shoulders, giving her ammunition to deal with Susan later.
