I missed Desperate Housewives last Sunday

[JanetRose]

Can anyone tell me what happened? Didn't ABC use to show reruns? Thank you!

I missed it too because they showed the Philadelphia Eagles game and moved Desperate Housewives to 7 when my kids were still up. I was hoping it would be rerun on Saturday, but it wasn't.

Posts: 2,685 If you remember...Gabs HAD preg. symptoms in the beginning...that's how she found out she was preg... remember she bought that new convertible and puked in it?? Anyway, most of the episode was recapped. I just would like to "fill in the holes" for those who missed:
Lynette's boss (in a meeting w/ everyone) asked her to do a presentation to a client, but mentioned "not to wear the blue suit". Then everyone was chuckling and they seemed to find something wrong w/ every suit she owned. (Too old, spit-up crusted on it, holes in the seams, etc.....) This prompted Lynette to go out and buy about 4 or 5 suits....one being $900! Her husband estimating the total suits at about $3000! So, she was going to return them all, after losing the arugment with Tom..(can't afford those luxuries and such). She changed her mind and changed into the $900 suit at work. She paper clipped the price tag to the tag inside the jacket, with the intention of wearing and returning it. Well, she didn't realize they also put tags on the skirts, and while starting her presentation, her boss noticed the skirt tag hanging out of her skirt, and went up to her and yanked it off! Well, now she is stuck OWNING this $900 suit she promised Tom she would return. So, she bought him really nice golf clubs--that, at first, he refused....but tried them out. She said they needed to do nice things for themselves once in a while to be better parents/people.... hence "feel like a better parent already". Paul came back and inquired Susan as to if she's seen Zach. Susan freaked cuz she knows Paul killed Mrs. Huber. Bree, Gabs and Lynette were outside witnessing Paul approach Susan (who was stunned to see him) and called the police. The police arrived and they (AND the entire neighborhood who gathered) went to Mike's house. Susan told the police that Paul had confessed Huber's murder to Mike and Mike had Huber's journals. When the police asked Mike, he denied everything. Susan was again, stunned and freaked. Mike left for a job, and when he pulled in the driveway that night, Susan popped up in his window .... she had been waiting for him. She wanted to know why he denied all the truths she professed. He said he was on probation, with a gun so, that wouldn't look good for him AND, in Huber's journals, she had written she was blackmailing Susan for burning down Edie's house....so, Susan understood and forgave. Another scene Susan was under her sink and there was a knock at the door. Susan said "come in". Well, it was Paul, and again, terrified. He just wanted to know what was up with Zach....and she said she didn't know where he was. (All this while reaching into a sudsy sink behind her for a knife) Well, he asked what she was reaching for, she said a knife, and he got one out of the butcher block and approached her with it. Of course, she is now scared to death: Paul is coming at her w/ a knife! So, she starts "singing"...she told Paul that she found Zach and thought Zach might have gone to Utah to look for him &/or his family (since that's where MaryAlice & Paul were from). She said, "Ok, so I gave him bus fare"... so, now Paul realized Susan "persuaded/sent Zach to Utah" and Paul told Mike when they met up. (I forget who approached who...might have been Mike going to Paul's) Susan and her Mom were altering her Mom's wedding dress and were "prying" as to whether Mike would ever propose. It came to conclude that he WAS planning on doing so..... But, as you've read, he was furious with Susan for "finding Zach" and not telling him. As mentioned, Bree wanted to be with George, but broke out in rash. He gave her "antihistamines"..which, was probably "roofies". So, that being the "big" story, was already pretty well recapped. Same for Gabby....the lawyer was shot by disgruntled client's ex....he ended up in hospital w/ shoulder wound. Gabs was the only person to visit in 2 days. She asked why he didn't eat, and he said he couldn't cut his food..so, she did. She read a card that came with flowers from the people in his office...they didn't like him either! So, Gabby was his only friend in the world, apparently, and after he got out of the hospital, in court their lawyer quit, figured he was too "in love/lust" w/ Gabs to represent Carlos--who happens to be in jail for beating up John the gardener's gay roommate. and, after beating up the gay cable guy....they pegged it as a "hate crime" and I think violation of sentence..cuz when he beat the roommate, he was on "house arrest". So, as before mentioned, Gabby tricked him and pretty much told him she'd have him arrested for sexual harrassment if he didn't get Carlos out of jail. That story line was pretty much recapped earlier. The Applewhite's were not in the episode at all. I guess that sums it up.....if I forgot anything, I'm sure someone will come along and add........

Generally, these days, when a local broadcast interrupts a network broadcast, the local station broadcasts the interrupted program later that same day/early the next morning. We had a situation recently where Grey's Anatomy was broadcast at 1:00 AM. I keep a close eye out for last-minute schedule changes on my local stations' web site, for the shows I'm most interested in.

The biggest scenes were bBee getting "drunk" and scratching all the hives when George kissed her-really good!
Also, Susan running down the street in her Mom's wedding dress screaming and crying as her love drove away...sad.

Also...Lynette really looked "hot" in that expensive white suit! First season they made her look dumpy all the time.
