“Desperate Housewives”: “Don’t Walk on the Grass”
Original air date: Nov. 1, 2009
Liveblog/recap
Happppppy day-after Halloween, DH fans!!! (Not)Neighbor Peggy is behind on grading papers, so she chose the well-being of today’s childrens instead of backstabbing wives/husbands/ex-wives/ex-gardeners.
But that’s OK because Erin’s over here, and she’s got organic key-lime yogurt and is ready to watch.
Wanna watch with me? Catch me on Twitter here!!
9:02: Bree talks about her affair like she’s making a souffle.
9:02: I’ve got a funny feeling Karl’s story about “Irene” isn’t about his grandmother…..
9:03: Karl tells Bree he loves her. Erin says “Boooo.”
9:04: Oh, whattup haaaair, Gaby! Pretty and a half. OK, pretty and three quarters.
9:06: Is it bad that I’m extremely proud of Juanita for swearing?
9:07: Also, I like how they freeze-framed it, all “A Christmas Story”-style.
9:07: I knew the brooch thing was too good to be true.
9:08: Um, who’s the pretty boy with Tom?
9:09: T. Scav. Lynette’s hair. Drunk college boys. Best. Scene. EVvvvvvvverrr.
9:11: “What is this, Shaw Shank Elementary?” — Gaby, to Mrs. Peterson.
9:13: “….and the HORSE you rode in on!” — Gaby. Swearing. At the principal. I approve. Wholeheartedly.
9:14: “Don’t shoot, it’s just me!” — Katherine. Too soon?
9:15: “I’m sure you noticed that my behavior has gotten craazzee!” — Katherine. Self-awareness is the first step to recovery, right?
9:15: …………….too bad I DON’T WANT YOU TO RECOVER, KATHERINE!!
9:16: Oh, good. Susan rejected Katherine’s request to go to barbecues together. She’s single-handedly keeping Krazy Katherine crazy.
9:17: “Let’s give brunch a shot. Sorry, that was just a bad choice of words.” — Susan.
9:18: Libido. Fornicating. Morally bankrupt weasel. Bree wins at….you know….talking, and stuff.
9:18: Karl on one knee? Is this for real? Are we buying this? As I type, Erin answers: “Shuuuuut up.”
9:19: Karl shushing Bree is a good foreshadow into how delightful their marriage is going to be.
9:20: Oh, Angie’s mom is involved? Or that’s really not her mom…it’s her and Danny?
9:21: Erin’s upset that Katherine booped Angie’s nose. “They can’t do that, that’s ‘Superbad’s’!”
9:22: I love how we’re getting around this whole can’t-swear-on-network-tv thing. Blankety blank blank. “Fine with me, I blanked off earlier.”
9:28: Did Susan just inadvertently convince Bree to marry Karl?
9:29: Gaby seriously just told Lynette she was getting a little “rounder”….?? Who has friends like THAT?
9:29: “This is L. Scav, may I help you?”
9:30: Lynette at a college party. This is entire thing is making me cringe.
9:30: Also, is one named Neidemayer? As in…Animal House? Nice Easter egg, ABC!
9:30: “I hate them.” — Erin, to the frat boys.
9:33: Katherine’s attempts at Mike are just so hilarious at this point, right? We trust Mike, right?
9:35: Erin and I are both upset that we didn’t see the fall in the tub coming. We should’ve.
9:35: I’m kinda loving Susan in this episode……
9:40: I hate to condone the cheating, but I kinda support Tom on this one….
9:40: “Support” is the wrong word. More like “I don’t blame him”.
9:42: Would we expect anything less than brattiness from a Solis child?
9:47: Bree’s not saying yes. Or no. “What’s the point if I already have a husband I can’t shake?”
9:48: Susan couldn’t control Karl. Edie tried, and failed. Bree’s the one.
9:50: Ah, so…mom isn’t dead? Definitely witness protection…
9:51: Katherine’s trying to rope Angie in to her side.
9:58: Why is Angie wearing a bumble-bee bracelet with a pink floral tunic??
9:59: Angie’s trying to protect herself by throwing suspicion on Katherine?
9:59: This show keeps getting better and better at encompassing the themes/motifs in each episode.
10:01: Eh. Kind of a crappy cliffhanger. We’re done with Orson anyway, right?
I agree with Tanci about Gaby. Shes a bad mother. And a horrible influence. I feel bad for Juanita and the other kid.
P.S. How come Carlos and Gaby’s other little chubby kid never gets any shine? Its all about Juanita
Uh, I don’t think Gaby is a winner here. This is the second time (I think) in this season when she’s proving herself as bad mother. Buts she’s gorgeous anyway
. And where is Ana????
.
. Is he smart enough to count two and two together? Hmmm …
I agree with Susie as a winner and adding Bree. She’ll bring Karl under control and I like them being together.
Krazy K., OMG, losing all the way. But I think Angie should be very careful with playing her around. Chick fight with Susie was hilarious
Orson, I hate him. This brooch thing is deja vu with a staged robbery. I wonder how will Bree save her arse this time
Tom and Lynette are like tho children but this time I’m on Tom’s side. Seeing Lynette out of bed in the middle of the night was … priceless and kind of scary.
Great episode.
…Amy-pants? LOVE it.
Winners:
Susan. I love a good cat fight, a la “Dynasty”.
Katherine. She is hysterical when she’s bonkers. Makes for great TV.
Angie. I like the softer side of her. I think she’s good, and all about protecting her family. I like the addition of her character — whatever the scenario.
Gaby. In full agreement with you on that one, Amy.
Juanita. Again. Agreement.
Carlos. Priceless line.
Woser/Linner:
Tom and Lynette (tie). Stop arguing, you two! You can BOTH wear the pants. Ain’t no rule against it. Ease up a bit, both of ya!
Losers:
Orson. That’s all. He’s on my nerves now. I still like him, though. But he’s going to die this season. I don’t know why I know this. I just do.
Maybe Krazy Orson will decide to kill Bree, or vice versa?? That’s the only interesting thing I have left to think about Orson.
Also, Krazy Katherine saying “I’m krazyyy!” was definitely the highlight of my hulu’d episode.
It’s WAY less fun without you, Amy-pants!!!
Winners-
Bree. I am in love with Karl. I hope she is tooooooo. If they get married, I will cry. Really. I’m such a Bree creeper.
Susan. I love her in this episode. Hate her at all other times.
Katherine. Because this craziness is endearing.
Losers-
Tom. Uuuuuuuh.
Karl. The brooch thing was AWFUL.
Creepy Vampire Kid…. was he even in this episode?
Great episode again. Is Bree and Karl getting boring? I hate Karl and Bree was a lady. I miss that Bree.
It’s not witness protection I think. It’s something Danny did. And I wonder who were the people in the picture. I thought child died but that was Katherine’s story.
And poor Juanita. But I was proud of her too. She showed everyone whose child she is.
The end reminds me of similar ending, when Orson discovered Bree has been hiding things in a storehouse.
