I have just two words for last night's episode... HOLY SCHMOLEY!

So, just when Lynette starts to think she stirred up trouble for the neighbor for nothing, he all but tells her that he's going to act on his pedophilic ways now. She'd better keep close tabs on her kids.

Ooh, I can't wait for the story between Orson's mother and Alma to develop! My DS asked why would she allow her bird to stay behind if she knew that Orson would kill it? (We're a bird family, so that was a sore spot for him. I was surprised that he remembered the bird.) So, do you think that Orson beat her up pretty bad and dumped her body somewhere that allowed her to recover to contact his mother?

It'll also be interesting to see where the mental institution information will take things.

Loved Gaby's spin on the little girl's friendship. If the friend's mother was competition, there was only one thing to do... get rid of the competition. haha

I agree about last night's show, I could not believe Alma was alive! Maybe she was never beaten nor dead? I think Orson killed Monique though, because how would Alma know to take Mike's Wrench? And, we know it was Orson that ran over Mike & tried to kill him... Orson wrote Mike's phone number on Monique's body so they'd look for the weapon & find it in Mikes house... He tried to kill Mike so none of this would ever truly be found out, but that is just my opinion!

Boy, I saw this coming with Lynnette & that neighbor... I just knew his sister was holding him back so to speak & that his true nature would come forward when the sister was out of the picture..... But, didn't he say he was already packing? So, I assume he is moving....

Nobody has commented on Susan taking a vow not to see Mike anymore when her boyfriend (ugh, can't remember his name) offered up the best defense team.... who thinks she'll break this promise???

Ian (the boyfriend) won't stick around as a permanent cast member....Susan and Mike will get back together--eventually....but what's up w/ Edie dumping Mike while he's in jail?? I didn't get that whole thing???

 

[Beth76]

Did anyone else get the impression that Art killed his sister?

Of course she'll break that promise! I think his name is Ian.

Wasn't he packing up to move though. The way I took it was that he was leaving & not telling where he's going. They made it seem like all the burden will be on Lynette because he can be anywhere molesting young children.

Hadn't thought of that one, but it's a good possibility.

 

[Disney Ella]

I've missed parts of the show in the past few weeks when Amazing Race ran long. Why is Gabrielle dating someone else now? I thought after the supermarket shooting that she and Carlos decided to get back together.

 

[RUDisney]

Mike asked her to fund his defense. That's when she broke up with him.

"Love" doesn't go as deep has her pocketbook, from what it seemed to me.

I think the twist will be that Jane wakes up and Ian will leave Susan for Jane. That will pave the road back to Mike for which she will already have started to collect the cobblestones.

 

[DisneyPhD]

Uh....how come nobody has commented on last night's show yet? Didja's move and leave me behind? I guess the MAJOR news shocker is Alma is alive!! So, I guess Orson didn't kill his wife after all...maybe just Monique....OR Alma killed her (Monique) and made it look like Orson killed her (Alma)???? Hmmm......just got interesting.....

This was my theray too. I really hope both Mike and Orson didn't do it. I am starting to like them both.

Anyone else notice that Bree's looking fuller and rounder?

Got to go, I feel a migraine coming on and the screen is all blury now. Man I hate these.

Ooh, I actually would prefer that! Every time I'm watching Ian and Susan and thinking how great he is for her and with her, I am plagued with the idea that she will hurt him because we know she'll end up with Mike. If he leaves her, I'll be able to justify it all! He leaves for his first love after however many years she's in a coma, we won't have to really hate him. Susan will be sad for a minute, maybe, and then she can end up with Mike without anyone really getting hurt!

Think it's too nice a storyline for DH, though?

 

[jedi_librarian]

I'm not surprised at all about Edie dumping Mike. She was just being "Edie". She went after Mike because she had the hots for him when he moved in and she was always upset that he fell for Susan. I guess it wasn't fun for her anymore once this whole situation came up. I never thought she would really fall in love with him.

The whole thing with Lynette and the neighbor was creepy. But isn't that something she can report to the police and they can keep a watch on him wherever he moves to? I don't think he killed his sister at all. She seemed to be pretty sick already. I felt really bad for her, though.

I wonder what the relationship between Orson's mother and Alma? He had told Bree that his mother forced that marriage on him. And now her and Alma are in contact. Hmmm... It's getting really interesting, though!

 

[bubba's mom]

Carlos & Gabby didn't like what divorce was doing to them, so they entertained the idea of getting back together, till Carlos played a trick on Gabs and then the "war of the solices" started...
I'm wondering if Orson's mom (heck, or even Alma who seems capable) killed Monique....to get her out of Orson's life so he could be with Alma?? But, why were we led to assume Alma was killed?? ...or was she just "committed"? Mom & Alma have a "good" relationship and I think it's really weird that a mother and daughter-in-law are closer than the mother and son ....something fishy going on there....

 

[jedi_librarian]

Ooohh.. this reminds me - remember when Bree met Orson he was visiting someone? Did we ever figure out who that was? But now there's that connection that he's been in a mental institution himself. Maybe he was visiting an old friend?

There isn't a new episode on next week, is there? They didn't show a preview.

She's having twins in "real life" I believe.

Hope you're migraine gets better soon!

That's right, they did run into each other in the mental hospital. Good memory!!!

They didn't show any previews, so I don't think there is a new episode next week.

That is what I was hinting at, but mid typing my eyes and brain went out. Yes meds and rest better and I can see again. I hate it because I have to drop everything lay down.

I was thinking about the mental institution connection too. Did she ever think to ask him about that again? Was it his sister (or at least his excuse?) hmmmm I wonder. All will be relived in the end (or dropped like it never happened.)

 

[Alice28]

Somehow I had a feeling Alma would show up! This is getting good!

I LOVE Dixie Carter in the show- loved her in Designing Women, and she fits right in with the housewives!

I don't get how Mike got involved in the whole murder thing, but I hope it's played out well! So far I think this season ROCKS! Way better than Season 2.

 

[F1Julie]

I couldn't quite figure out the mental institution thing with Orson. Maybe his mother had him committed as a child? I think either Alma or Orson's mom killed Monique.

I'm glad that the pedophile is getting out of town. He was by far the creepiest character ever on DH.

 

[bubba's mom]

i wish we could go back and watch the episode orson was in the looney bin w/ someone....but, if it WAS his Mom he was visiting, wouldn't Bree have recognized her....as during Bree's "great escape", they saw each other and I would think Bree would have looked to see who was sitting beside him.

I dunno - I have a feeling we haven't seen the last of him...

 

[ChristmasElf]

The writers could bring in a look alike younger Orson to play the part while in the mental institution -kind of like a "flashback" that Orson would have to enlighten the audience on what the experience was like for him.

I thought it interesting when his mother threatened to tell Bree his secrets, and Orson said "You keep my secrets, I will keep yours Mother" or words to that effect.
