Desperate Housewives 9-28-08

Mary Alice takes us back to where we left off, five years ago, (how brilliant is this?????)Susan had a baby. Discussing another mom who had a baby girl in the next room, the mom's name was Lila and chronicled all of the times they almost met. The night they met, Susan and Mike were going out to celebrate their anniversary, and Lila and her daughter were going out for ice cream. When a missing stop sign brought them together. They got into a wreck that appears to have killed Mike.

Gabi, has become a mother, and chunky. She has chunky girls.

Bree is running a successful catering business along with her son and her frenemy Katherine.

Preston and Porter have broken into the Scavo's restaurant for gambling and drinking.

Susan is sleeping with someone and kicking him out. She is hiding him from her friends and son.

Next scene shows a man out of the blue handing a guy a LOT of money to buy him out of his lease. He hands him another bundle of cash and tells him to leave. The tenant explains he has no place else to go, but the mystery man helps him leave. He then goes to a car and says, "All taken care of Mrs. Williams," the window rolls down and it's Edie, who says "Why thank you, Mr. Williams."

The next morning Edie goes out and washers her car ala Edie. Lynette is the first to notice and calls everyone. They all go over to catch up. Edie tells them all she has a husband now. The obvious next question, asked by Susan is "whose?" Edie asks Gabi what happened to her, Gabi explains that she had two children. Edie says "what, for breakfast?" and her new husband tells her to be nice.

Carlos and Gabi fight over their daughter's weight, while Carlos is loading her up with cheese.

The Scavo's are fighting over the boys' behavior. Some things never change. Lynette finds out that instead of lecturing them about their behavior he is laughing it up with them. They then go on to fight over all of their other crimes. Tom tells her she's over reacting and un-grounds them for the homecoming dance.

The next scene is a party where Gabi's daughter, Juanita is having her second piece of cake. A very large piece. Gabi then over hears other mothers talking about how Gabi is one of "those" mothers.

Susan is making out with her mystery man, and turns out it's her painter, and Lynette walks in on them. The painter slips out the window and is caught on camera phone in his undies by the gay couple next door. Lynette came to complain about her boys.

Gabi is trying to get her daughter to go and play in the park, Juanita is downing a juice box and has cake all over her face. Gabi, makes her daughter chase after the car all the way home.

Bree and Katherine are fighting about whose recipes and whose, and Katherine is upset that Bree didn't include her in the book. They then fight over the finer points of minced flat vs. minced curly leafed parsley.

Lynnette breaks the news that they are ungrounded. She says they trust them, so much so that they get to take their dad's convertible to homecoming. He tries to convince them that they'd be better of in mom's car. She says that's an uncool car, especially after the dent they put in it. It's much cooler to show up in the convertible. Tom tries to lay down some ground rules. Lynnette tells them to just have fun.

Bree is doing an interview for tv, where they ask Katherine how it really is to work with Bree. Katherine "hurts" her wrist and asks Bree to finish off her "special" piece. A piece that Katherine contends is really her creation. And on live tv, Bree splashes the host in the eye with liquid sugar.

Gabi and Carlos continue to fight over Juanita's weight. Gabi admits that she doesn't feel beautiful. Carlos says she will always be beautiful. And that he sees her face every time he kisses her.

Back to the kitchen where Bree has made the sugar netting for her dessert and in finishing it, she catches it on her jewelry and turns it into a disaster. Katherine comes in and tries to do it despite her injury.

Back on the Scavo front porch, the 'rents are fighting over the boys being late. Tom is worried about his precious convertible and how he spent so much time restoring it. Lynnette says they have to be in sync in order to properly parent the boys. Who show up then, Tom then comes down on the hard and grounds them for a month. They say he's only worried about his car, at which point Tom goes and kicks off the mirror, which he was doing for effect because the mirror was already scratched and he'd already ordered a new one.

The next scene we see Edie and her new husband talking to Mrs. McCluskey at the Scavo's restaurant. Susan has run into her "painter". Edie and the other girls are fighting over whether the party is a "we're sorry" or a "we forgive you" party. Mr. Williams comes in to break it up. Susan's painter then starts to sing Karaoke "I wanna be your boyfriend" Susan then trips the breaker. She pulls him off stage and he wants to know why she's hiding him. She tells him he doesn't want to be in a relationship, maybe she doesn't deserve to be happy. She then tells him about the accident.

Edie and her husband are fighting over why they had to come back to Wisteria Lane. She says she never should have let him talk her into it.

Susan and the painter decide to take it slow.

Bree is at home teaching herself to make the dessert that she failed to do on tv, when she comes across a sippy cup. It flashes back to where Danielle comes to claim her son, Bree tells her that "Orson is gone, you kids are grown, Benjamin is all I have." Back in the present Orson interrupts and says she needs to come to bed as it is after 2:00 in the morning. She tells him that the cooking show has agreed to redo her segment and she needs to get it right.

The next morning Susan is in her kitchen reliving the accident. She looks out of the window and sees Mike. He comes in and asks if MJ is ready. They flash back to a fight that they had about getting the breaks fixed, and the family they killed. Mike says that they didn't kill them, they died and then shows him walking out on her. Then we get to endure the awkward ex living room I might be dating someone talk. She then pulls out a picture of her, Mike and their son.

We then get the narration, wrapping up the show. Mr. Williams answers a phone call, from his doctor. His doctor reminds him that a condition of his release is to check in once a month. He promises to. The doctor then views a video tape of Dave, Mr. Williams, asking what he needs to say to get released. The doctor says he needs to get his rage under control. The audio from the tape continues to play as he walks out of his house and looks down Wisteria lane. The doctor says he wants to make sure that he isn't a threat to himself or others, Dave says he's not a threat to himself and as for the others, there is only one person who should be afraid.
