(S02E21) Alright, I think we're on a roll here. It's too bad we had to wait until the last few episodes of the season for things to really get good. So far this season has felt like an Oreo cookie with a turd for filling. I'm just hoping the second cookie remains as good as the first one.
First up, the Applewhites. It seemed like a very obvious way for things to turn out, with Caleb telling Betty what he was told to do. I'd actually thought that maybe Betty knew Matthew was in on the whole thing and was bluffing killing Caleb. Now we see she clearly is nuts, and I can see Matthew may have to take drastic measures against his mom very soon.

We interrupt our regularly

What's a little infidelity between
friends? Tonight, more than one injured party could answer that question on
Desperate Housewives. It all
started off with an (innocent? you be the judge) kiss between Tom and Gabrielle. At first Lynette wasn't jealous, much.
Until... Bree managed to raise her jealous hackles with the news (what, Lynette didn't know? it seems as if EVERYONE
should know, hmmm?) that Gabrielle had an affair with her teenaged gardener.
True-to-slapstick-form, Gabrielle's
next appearance at chez Tom & Lynette occurs as Tom is carrying in several bags of groceries and the baby.
Gabrielle helps, baby spits up (and WOW that's a lot of spitup. Maybe baby has some GI issues. My crystal ball reveals
a future show where baby's pediatrician puts her on a gluten-free/casein-free diet.), Gabrielle gets all cleaned up and
half-naked. One uncomfortable moment, consider yourself set up.
