I'm confused!!!!!


Isn't the nurse really Zac's Aunt, whom he killed???

I don't think he killed her, if I remember correctly she "was found beaten" but did not die.

The new nurse is Felicia, Mrs. Huber's sister. I don't think she is Zach's aunt (did I miss that storyline?).

Tom is now unhappy? And, I know you can still get Chicken Pox, but why weren't those kids vacinnated. The chicken pox vacination has been around for at least 10 years now. Writer goofed up on this one.

 

[lillygator]

there are some people out there who choose no vaccinations for various reasons....I have a friend who is afraid to have her child vaccinated and when the time comes for school...they are using a religious reason I believe...?? don't really know.

I think the vaccine only lessens the symptoms and seriousness of Chicken pox, not completely prevents it from occuring in children. I'm not a doctor, so don't take my owrd for it. But we all had been vaccinated and still contracted it.

that is my understanding also

Saw the part where Tom came home from the doctor and said he couldn't go through with it. But I miss the part after that. Did he say why?

Tom couldn't go through with it because her felt it was another part of his masculinity being taken away - not working, not providing income. Lynette is the "man of the house" so to speak.

 

[noseybuddy]

Thanks, missed that part because of a phone call.

tom is getting on my nerves. he's going to be a whiny baby. I really hope they don't give them marriage problems. It was always comforting to see how they loved each other thru all the problems.

Wasn't there an epidsode when Tom's father visited and Lynette found out that the father had cheated and it seemed like Tom didn't have a problem with it. I think something is going to happen, maybe he is going to cheat on Lynette.

I'm still waiting to see what his "big secret" is that he mentioned to his dad. That couldn't have been Annabel. I think there's more to that.

You're right...my bad!

I suspect an underlying reason on deciding against the vasectomy!

Tonights show seemed to cover a lot more storylines than in previous episodes.
Poor Susan. This girl just cannot seem to find a decent guy to hold onto. The first one she got together with gave her a big headache (so to speak) but ending up in the hospital finds her meeting "Doctor Right" who helps save her from the evening, and her idiot date.
A blood drive finds all the housewives comparing notes on the Applewhites. Betty has obviously been dipping into the "happy pills" and is making everyone nervous as a cat with her smiling and oh so sunshiny ways.
Zach finds out he has AB negative blood along with only 1 other person. Mike.

Betty tells Bree that her Mother has taken ill back in Chicago and that she and Matthew will be heading to Chicago to take care of her.

Julie and Susan dish about the Doctor with Julie suggesting that her Mom go out with him. Susan worries that he may be too young for her.
Lynette comes home to her jerky husband Tom all fretting over a few chicken pox and tries to pass the buck to Lynette by refusing to take care of their sick kids. Seems he has never had the pox and doesnt want to get them now.

Gabrielle was a very busy girl this evening! The gardner "Ralph" confides to Gabrielle that he like to visit web sites and look at naked women. It seems while scrounging around the net, Ralphie came across a picture of Gabby that he now wants her to autograph.
Mike drops in to visit the ailing Mr Taylor (the father of Zachs birth mother) Mr Taylor gets upset with his nurse for sticking him with an IV needle, and fires her.

Lynette and Tom are out in the yard when Carlos comes to say hello, making a passing comment about Toms ability to have more kids sends Lynette into a confrontation to Toms future plans.
Bree has lunch with the Detective that at first suspected her of killing Rex. Bree now wants the Detective to run a background check on the Applewhites., where as the Detective wants to further their relationship to the dating stage.
Cut to Susan at the hospital hoping to meet up with "DR Ron" Susan has cooked up a few symptoms of illness, resulting in Dr Ron ordering an MRI. oops.
Back to Bree and her lunch. The Det now wants to drive Bree home saying that she should not be driving. Bree refuses the drive, but allows him to pay the bill. A few minutes later, Detective is pulling a resentful housewife over for drunk driving, claiming Bree was weaving. She exits her car slurring a few words and having a hissy. -no matter-he hauls her off to the pokey wearing some lovely new silver bracelets.
Gaby shows Carlos a web site that bears some nude photos of her in the past. Gaby wants Carlos to go beat up Scott, an old boyfriend that posted the pics to begin with. Carlos tells her NO.
Susan undergoes an MRI and is dissapointed to hear of the Drs girlfriend.
Gaby decides to treat the landscapers to a peep show resulting in one of the gardners slicing the finger off of his colleige! Poor Louis! Ralph is having trouble finding the missing digit. (At least they waited til they were finished with the hedges.)
Lynette wants Tom to have a sorrowful life after she dies. She now wants Tom to get a Vasectomy as she will not be producing any more offspring. Tom says he will make an appointment but deep down he would rather just hop on down to the florist and buy Lynette flowers.
Bree gets to making friends in the jail cell giving advice. She gets sprung and while walking home, Betty Applewhite offers her a ride home. Bree confides to Betty that she was walking as her car was impounded and asks Betty to please not share her secret. Bree and Betty end up having a slight disagreement resulting in Bree storming off from Bettys car, but not until she runs down Bettys own background for her.
Betty then calls Edie and tells her she wants to sell her home. Hope someone is looking for that certain customized basement.
Susan opens her front door to find Dr Ron in person delivering her MRI results. Seems the good Dr is stumped as he cant find anything wrong to explain her "symptoms" He then is outraged as he lost a nights sleep but nonetheless will take her out for sushi on Friday night and oh yeah, Susan has a "wandering spleen" not to worry, we will just keep an eye on it.
Carlos finally agrees to talk to Scott about getting the pics back. Scott agrees but in the meantime makes a comment about Gaby that causes Carlos to beam Scotty boy right through his front window.
Tom chickens out of the Vasectomy. Tom then tells Lynette he is not happy.
Det Barton calls Bree and calls Bree with information on the dead body found in front of the Applewhites.
The closing scene shows Mr Taylor finally getting that painless IV from his new nurse, Mrs Hubers sister.
Next weeks episode has Carlos filing annulment papers to Gaby causing a dynasty moment over at the Catholic Church. Things are gonna be rolling over there!!!

Pretty much telling Carlos his wife "wasn't raking in the money"...impling she's not really all that hot anymore......

Tom chickens out of the Vasectomy. Tom then tells Lynette he is not happy.

Here's where I must add: you made your bed, now lie in it Tom.


Again, ChristmasElf........awesome recap! I'm definately looking forward to next week.....just when I thought they'd gotten rid of that stinkin' nun..... The writing is gettin' good again.........

 

[OhMari]

Rumor was that Tom was suppose to have another family somewhere, hence all the traveling. That was why Lynette poked her nose in his job and asked that he not travel so much. I think the writers didn't want to go in that direction after they found out Lynette and Tom had great chemistry. But now we are going to have to face another family being ripped apart, cause Tom isn't happy. Maybe they should show how Tom and Lynette work it out-wouldn't that be a shock.

 

[ChristmasElf]

Remember when the writers had Ryan Oneal playing the part of Tom's Dad and the two of them were sitting on the curb (Lynette had tossed old Dad out to the curb) during that conversation Tom alluded to some secret life he was hiding from Lynette. I wonder if Ryan Oneal will make another guest appearance. At one point I thought maybe Tom had a "hidden child or other family" but now I think it will turn out to be something else.

Maybe it will turn out that Tom is secretly gay. Maybe Annabel is his 1st cousin, or even half sister thrown in for that little bit of grossness measure.

He is kind of a "wimpy acting guy" especially dealing with those kids.
