So lets talk about “Desperate Housewives” and what happened on last night’s episode.

The show opened with Carlos and Gabby still going at it and hiding their affair from Edie. Meanwhile Mrs. Mcclusky told Dylan how she remembered when she was little her dad would come by to try and see her. Dylan said that is impossible, her dad died when she was little. Mrs. Mcclusky said sorry but nope! The plot thickens! Dylan confronted her mom, who basically wouldn’t talk about it.

Bree becomes obsessed with Katherine’s lemon meringue pie in this episode, as it was better than hers and she had to know what her secret ingredient was.

Susan meanwhile remembered the day years ago Katherine suddenly left, claiming she got a new job in Chicago and had to go. She was in such a rush she wouldn’t let Julie say goodbye to Dylan.

Meanwhile Bree sneaks into Katherine’s house to steal the recipe for the lemon meringue pie. Unfortunately Katherine and Dylan returned home. Dylan was furious with her mother for lying to her about her father, thinking her mother has lied to her for her whole life. Dylan ran off after being slapped. Katherine talked to her husband about how Dylan doesn’t know exactly what she had done for her. Her husband Adam suggested they tell her, but Katherine refused. Bree heard all! Of course this means the other neighbors will soon know as well.

Lynette and Gabby had some girl bonding at the hospital. Lynette felt Gabby didn’t care that much about her after all, as she kept avoiding going with her to chemo and keeping her occupied, all the other girls had done it. Gabby went, but was uncomfortable. She finally opened up to Lynette she had to watch her father die of cancer when she was five, and her mother forced her to always put on a fake smile and never cry in front of him. Gabby felt she couldn’t do that in front of Lynette, she couldn’t lose her too. Lynette promised she wouldn’t lose her.

Carlos continued to be pushed by Edie, who is basically blackmailing him over his illegal Cayman Island’s bank account. She got him to get engaged and even tried to buy herself an expensive sports car. Fed up, Carlos paid some man to deal with Edie. Uh oh! It sure looks like Carlos has put out a hit on her!

Mike and Susan meanwhile dealt with different ideas of disciplining Julie, who wanted to go to a party. Mike felt the party was too rowdy, but Susan let her go . . . only to later learn the party was in fact too rowdy. She had to try and get Julie back and not let Mike find out she let her go. Mike of course told Susan he’d never tell her how to raise Julie, he’d always respect her decisions. However their kid is another thing, they’ll be raising him or her together.

So we did learn a bit more about the mystery involving Katherine and Dylan. Clearly it has something to do with Dylan’s father, perhaps he in fact was the man standing over her bed in her memories? It’s sure looking like this is an abuse storyline and Katherine may have killed her husband, but I think it’s more than that. That is too easy. I’m willing to bed they were separating and or divorced, and the father actually had custody of the girl. Perhaps Katherine killed him to keep him away from Dylan?
