![]() ![]() Lynette, understanding the criticism but unable to reconcile the Scavo budget attempts to wear the clothes and return them ASAP, and how many times in our lives have we kept the price tag on hoping nobody would notice, whilst meticulously avoiding any potential stains before returning the clothes? Of course, cunning Nina exposes Lynette’s new label and in a creative decision typical of equally cunning Lynette, she palms off Tom with some new golf clubs, reminding us that capitalism makes the world around in suburbia. I also enjoyed this story because everything Lynette wore in the first series was pretty ugly, polyester and flammable. I loved the Lynette story in this episode about everyone judging her bargain basement clothes – something that also has happened to me, where people assume my sartorial taste is cheap, in spite of the price of my vintage threads. It’s a tour-de-force from Gaby here.īest Housewife in Show: Gaby, if only for her Lynette! Gaby is furious, and later horrified when Xiao-Mei’s baby turns out to be black. They’re still connected with Xiao-Mei’s baby and they’re not letting that stop them with the scheming with Gaby trying to hook a gay waiter at Bree’s wedding and Lynette successfully pairing Nora with Carlos. Gaby and Carlos’ divorce was technically one of the more comical divorces in TV, with them fighting over goods, exchanging wise cracks and treating it as a reconstructed War of the Roses. Nora’s single and one of those mothers who needs a man so Lynette has to find a man desperate enough to get entangled with her. Lynette gets in a great Manson family reference about Nora (Tom’s ex-Atlantic City lover) being the new Squeeky Frome with Nora, who like Carolyn has entered the show with a bang. This is her best work for this season which is drowned out by Mike and Susan slowly but surely getting back together, once again. Susan is also tasked with finding out more about the suspicious disappearance of Alma so rolls up to Carolyn Bigsby at the bank demanding answers and demanding as well 10 dollars in unrolled pennies. In an improbable scene on their date, Ian clocks Jane’s parents (Jane, of course is also in a coma) and tells them that Susan is a neurosurgeon, and much laughter ensues. It’s a great Susan episode as she now accepts a date with Ian, the archetypal stereotype of a Brit and the stand-in love interest for Mike, who is currently in a coma. Bree however is fairly happy with Orson, even though she stops the ceremony to ask Orson to confirm that he didn’t kill his wife, and later on, her wedding night is overshadowed by a visit to the morgue. The gang try to disuade Bree after the arrival of the crazed Carolyn Bigsby prophesying that Bree will wind up dead, like Alma, Orson’s first wife. Even though we have missed almost all the courtship due to the six months later opening to the season, Bree is getting married again, this time to Orson, who is somewhere between a perfect match and a sadistic figure, mainly because the actor wanted to stay on and the writers continued to tinker with his character throughout the show. (Also, please note, this was the season with the best artwork.)Īfter a wonderfully lit episode with rainstorms surrounding Wisteria Lane and a feeling of general melancholy, this second episode really sets revs up the third season. ![]() She grew and grew (in screen time and character) throughout the show and her ‘Son of a bitch’ confession was delivered like you’d imagine actresses all over the world would love to deliver. Finally, to quote Edie, how they lived…īest Housewife in Show: Karen. I remember exactly where I was when I saw this and said, in a crowded office, again and again to myself, but they’ll never play poker again…? The creator went completely out on a whim making sure there wouldn’t be a reboot, which probably wouldn’t have worked, and it’s like saying what happened in Wisteria Lane died in Wisteria Lane. We’re come to the end of the road, and after watching it all over again still I can’t let, it’s unnatural, they belong to us, we belong to them… The finale is both bittersweet and totally satisfying. Technically the trial just before was a sumptuous feast of surprises, twists and a full exploration of the whole ensemble, but this episode indeed finishes the hat. Here is the 16 best episodes with a variety of plots and character analysis thrown in. It’s the age old question, isn’t it, how much do we want to know about our neighbours? Having re-watched Desperate Housewives in just over a month, I found out everything. ![]()
