c'mon Tom!!

 

[lillygator]

ok Mom I hate you,

but after 2 min - "I want Canadian bacon"......

 

[4greatboys]

In the beginning of the show where it shows what happened prior it showed Andrew running down Carlos' mom. Looks like thats a story line they may be bringing back up.
Its kind of sad they made both of Bree's kids bad. Her dd sounded just like Andrew when she was yelling at her mom.

Ya think?? I didn't. She seemed like a normal teenager yelling at her mom. Andrew is a little more worse than Danielle..... She seems to have "normal" issues w/ her mom...Andrew is a little "beyond" that. Anyone know if Marc Cherry is writing again?? They are good shows once again...he must be writing .

 

[DisneyDotty]

Anyone else have an "Awwww" moment when Gaby said she wanted to have Carlos' baby?
And even though I knew the "Alexis vs. Krystal" kind of fight was coming, I LOL during the scene between Gaby and Sister Mary Hot Pants.
Great show!
Although I really do hate Bree's kids/her relationship with them. This is pathetic.

 

[scoutsmom99]

I totally had an ahhhh moment! That fight she had with the sister had cracked me up though

I wonder how things will go with Tom and Lynnette working together now?!?!

i agree! i wish andrew would get hit by a truck. i have always found danielle tolerable - until tonight (i was a pretty bratty teenager, but would have NEVER let such a long hateful spiel come out of my mouth ) poor bree! other than the brief appearance by carl last week, when will something go right for her?

LOVE Lynnette and Tom. love love them. almost cried when they had their kitchen table talk at the end of the episode, it was so sweet.

 

[bubba's mom]

I did enjoy the end when the "gals" came over for poker and wanted the "beans spilled"...only to realize, Betty was there!! And LOVED Edie tying Carl up...he SO got what he deserved! And, I'm not sure why Gabs said she attacked Hot Pants.....Hot Pants attacked her first (throwing scrub brush at the back of her head---totally self-def. AND, she didn't mention she helped "put her out" when she caught fire!

 

[TammyNC]

I fell asleep about 3/4 the way through the show. Will have to try to catch it again.

 

[KIRSTIN'S MOMMY]

I missed the first 30 minutes of the show....why did Susan tie up Carl? What else did I miss?

 

[lillygator]

I think that now Tom and Lynette are going to be competing at work.

 

[iNTeNSeBLue98]

I missed the first 30 minutes of the show....why did Susan tie up Carl? What else did I miss?

Not Susan, Edie tied up Carl after he barged in and changed the TV channel from the movie she was watching to a football game without asking.

Another quick recap off the top of my head this morning:
Bree walked in to Danielle's bedroom to collect laundry and saw Matthew's (Applewhite's son) hand reach out from under her bed and marched him home and told Betty the two were not to be unsupervised.

 

[KIRSTIN'S MOMMY]

I was wondering what Bree "did to her" to make her cry on the bed. The whole Tom trying to get a job thing kinda had me lost too. I came in when he was being interviewed.

 

[BuzznBelle'smom]

Darn it--the VCR didn't tape DH, but DID tape Grey's Anatomy! I'm so mad!!! When do they run the reruns--Sat.? Do they still do that? GRRR!

 

[OhMari]

Tom will probably get a job with Lynette. Lynette will get the short end of the stick and probably quit and stay home with the kids. They do have the set of twins, another boy and the little girl.

I missed the 2nd half of the show-people were arguing in my house and I had to stop the fighting.

 

[ChristmasElf]

This weeks episode opened up with Edie watching a movie and thinking about her life with Carl. Carl doesnt pick up his underwear, likes pizza over her choice of Chinese, etc. When selfish Carl abruptly changes the channel to a football game, Edie talks him into sexcapades and ties him up to the bed with the promise of whipped cream sex
Well, okay, Edie did forget to mention the sex word-the whip cream was for the top of the big ole piece of pie she was about to eat while watching her movie once again.

Meanwhile the guest bedroom over at the Applewhites has a new occupant. Matthew moved Caleb up stairs. Betty is not happy and even though Matthew has made new curtains out of newspaper to cover all the windows, she still doesn't think he should be upstairs.

Our next scene shows Gaby and Carlos in of all places church and wait this gets better, Gaby is goo gooing a little child and Carlos takes the opportunity to broach the subject of childbirth.
Gaby yells out Sonofa well, you know the rest of that word, as she notices Sister Mary Hotpants is back from her mission and standing up on stage!
Bree comes to find Danielles backpack on the floor and calls out to her while knocking on Danielles bedroom door. Danielle who is entertaining Matthew in her bedroom, quickly has to redress and greet Mommy with an excuse.
Bree barges in and starts picking up dirty laundry off the floor. When Matthew sticks an arm out from under the bed, Bree cannot help but ask
"Danielle, is there a black man hiding under your bed?"

Betty doesn't take to this little discovery any better and when confronted by Bree, immediately slaps Matthew across the face all the while announcing to Bree and her daughter that she has put the house up for sale and that they will be moving.

Over at Lynette and Toms house, Bree is complaining that her employer is having difficulties finding a new ad campaign with only 9 hours to go. Tom takes the opportunity to help her find a new ad for her yogurt campaign.
They brainstorm into the evening.

Susan brings Doctor Right home but he doesn't make the moves yet. Susan is wondering why and asks him why he has been so gentlemanly. He sites Dr Patient relationship and all that. Well, apparently that gives him a second thought as he decides to kiss her putting Susans mind at ease.

Oh Oh there's Carlos hopping into Mary Hotpants nunmobile. Mary wnats to talk to Carlos and asks him whats bothering him. He cries on her shoulder about Gaby not wanting kids and pulls out a pamphlet on Annulment and tells Carlos he should take the booklet.

Lynette calls Tom to announce that she won the contract on the yogurt campaign and that Ed her employer was looking for a new ad guy, when Tom pushes for more, Lynette claims she needs to go and hangs up.

Susan is back at the Dr's office and Dr has decided she needs a "spleenectomy" when the nurse walks in and says "congratulations" to the Dr, Susan then discovers it will be his first!

Carlos approaches Gaby with the subject of children once again. When Gaby gives him static, he whips out the Annulment paper.

Lynette is now home and has figured he would be the perfect guy for Lynettes employer. She poo poohs the idea siting childcare issues and the fact they shouldn't work together. He marches off to help the kid mumbling.
The very next day, Tom proceeds to win the boss over by going over Lynettes head and winning a job offer with Ed.

"How long has it been since your last confession"? Askes the priest.
"Who cares"? was the reply Father it's me. "Gabrielle"? replies the father. Gaby then tells the priest that Sister Mary is coming on to Carlos and ruining her marriage. She tells the priest that they are even having sex. he he heh. When she tells the priest that Carlos wants an Annulment the priest bolts from the booth.

Danielle is home crying on her bed with Bree telling her that she didn't know Betty would react the way she did. Danielle tells Bree that Bree is getting older by the minute and that she should make stuff happen. Confusing here, but Bree then decides they should get a pizza to which Danielle says she wants Canadian Bacon. Commercial. weird.

Matthew is mad at Betty because she hit him. Caleb tells Betty that Danielle is pretty. Betty sends him upstairs while threatening Caleb to stay away from Danielle.
Susan is eating steak with the Dr and noticing that he doesnt cut steak very well. Which in turn reminds her of the surgery that he has decides she needs.
He criticizes the steak and she tells him she is nervous and wants a more experienced surgeon for her surgery. Dr gets mad and leaves Susan's house.

Lynette tells Tom if he takes the job with Ed that he cannot tell Ed about his previous job that she got him fired from.

Bree and Betty have a heart to heart out at the mailbox and Betty tells Bree that Matthew will stay away from Danielle and Bree decides Betty is covering something up when she notices Caleb peeking out from the newspaper covered window and sees Matthew cleaning the leaves in the yard. She makes an excuse to leave and goes home to sort through old newspapers. Bree shows Danielle the paper and calls Lynette to come to play poker as she has some gossip abot the Applewhites.

Carlos tells Gaby that Sister Mary is being transferred to Fairbanks Alaska.

Susan goes to the hospital and sees her Dr friend and they talk. Dr tells her he is sorry and has sent her flowers and he also announces he cannot be her Dr because of this. He reassigned her case to someone else.
Danielle sees MAtthew outside and asks him about Caleb. She asks him his secret telling him that her family also has secrets. She tells Matthew about Andrew hitting Carlos mom with the car and Bree covering it up.
Gaby goes to church again. Sister Mary is scrubbing the floor and figures out it was Gaby that caused the transfer. Her and Gaby have words with the sister tossing a scrub brush at Gaby's head. Gaby punches the nun and they struggle. Sister Mary hits a bunch of lit candles causing her nun clothes to catch on fire. Gaby grabs a Jesus Saves flag and extinguishes the flames. The nun repays Gaby by biting her! A preist breaks up the Dynasty moment. Gaby comes home to Carlos who wants to know why she beat up Sister Mary. After some words, Gaby tells Carlos she wants to have a baby afterall. She just doesnt want Carlos to blackmail her into doing it.

Betty shows up at Brees informing her that she knows all about Brees secret
and that Bree should keep quiet so Betty won't tell anyone what she knows.
Bree knows Betty is referring to Andrew and the accident coverup. Bree then answers the door to Lynette,Gaby and Susan and Edie and Betty emerges from the kitchen with a tray of snacks and joins the weekly poker match.

Everyone understands the nature of war...... the narrator begins.
The scenes from next week shows Ed and Tom getting along well. And Susan getting possibly married?????? hmmmmmm.

 

[lovetheparks]

And, I'm not sure why Gabs said she attacked Hot Pants.....Hot Pants attacked her first (throwing scrub brush at the back of her head---totally self-def. AND, she didn't mention she helped "put her out" when she caught fire!

I was wondering why she said that as well.

For me the funniest part of the night was when Gabby spurted out "Son of a Biscuit" when she saw the nun was back! Then tried to blame it on the lady behind her

 

[goofygirl]

I hate what they did to Gaby's character.

After being adamant many times about not wanting kids, she hugs Carlos and says "I want to have a baby with you."

So...a woman who does not want kids will cave in if you pester her enough. How insulting. I know its just a tv show, but I found that offensive and sexist.

I'll be tuning into another station Saturday nights. That show just lost a viewer. I think the rest of the storylines stink too, by the way.

i didn't take it that way. remember when gabi had her miscarriage, she was upset and had susan grab her ultrasound pictures for her to take in the ambulance? she obviously did care about that baby. i think she was more concerned that carlos ONLY wanted to stay married to her if she had a baby, like he was blackmailing her with the anullment. once he chose gabi over having children, she knew that he loved her and thought of her as more than a baby-making machine.

 

[ChristmasElf]

Ya know Goofygirl,

I was thinking they have made GABRIELLE a little soft as well. But, on the other hand, Gaby always gets what she wants and she sees Carlos in a whole new light when she sees the Sister Mary on the scene. This is just Gaby's way of getting what she wants from Carlos. First, she gets rid of the competition and then she will work on Carlos when he lets his guard down.

Gabrielle wont be having any kids anytime soon I would bet.
Watch Lynette get preggers again!!!
