Desperate Housewives: Motherly Love
Lynette was worried about Porter this week, who had an old friend busted for dealing drugs. To try and find out if he was hanging out with the kid, she made a fake Myspace/Facebook knock-off profile. Unfortunately she pretended to be a girl, who Porter fell for! Ewwwwww! In trying to send him a “Dear John” letter she made things worse, exposing herself as she signed it mom! Oh yes, she did. This story was sick and twisted, yet hilarious. Tom had the real zingers like she should put in the letter she needs to move on to dating other offspring.
So now while I rarely care what the people on the show wear, I have to comment on this. We’ve moved 5 years forward in the future, yet Porter is dressing 25 years in the past as if he was staring in some John Hughs teenage flick. I sersiouly could not look at him without thinking of “Pretty in Pink.”
Once again, I have yet to see a mention of Penny. Also when did the twins become the oldest? I always thought the nerdy son was the oldest, but he seems younger than the twins now. Actually he didn’t seem to look that much older than before he was aged 5 years.
Susan’s secret love affair with Jackson was out of the bag when Jackson met Mike. Mike felt he needed to get to know Jackson, since he’d be around M.J.. Susan was nervous, but he and Mike hit it off. She wasn’t so sure how much she wanted them hanging out though, especially when Mike told Jackson a sex tip, that Susan likes her ears nibbled. In the end though, Susan decided if they could all be friends, well it was a good thing.
We learned a smidge more about Mike and Susan’s break up and the post accident time. It seems Susan became the mean and nasty one, driving Mike away. Ugh! I just really hate this and want Mike and Susan back, even though she and Jackson are cute. Jackson can go paint Katherine’s house, cause she seems in desperate need of a part this season.
Gabby is still missing her old life and her old money. She got Carlos to take a job as a masseuse at the country club because it meant more money. He had been working privately out of their home. The problem? It made them “staff” to many people and got them dis-invited to an important social event. Gabby decided to try and sneak in with Carlos hoping she could just be seen and then invited to more parties. Of course they got busted. Carlos tried to convince her that they hadn’t lost anything, that those rich snobs were miserable just like he used to be. He said he was so happy now, he just wished she could be too. Carlos did make one mention that as he rubs down those old rich folk, they tell him their troubles. Why oh why do I see Gabby using some inside info from Carlos down the road?
Bree continued her cooking career, she’s known as Bree VanDeKamp, which annoys Orson to no end. That and that she seems to never acknowledge him publicly. He feels it’s because she’s ashamed her served time. We learned in order for Bree to take him back, he went to jail for running Mike over. Well after catering a party and being out late, Bree came home to find Orson waiting for his dinner. She had promised to make him a pot roast. However it was late, but he didn’t care. He gave her this insane look and off she went to the kitchen to cook, in tears.
At first I felt for Orson, as he was being neglected I thought by Bree and her career. However by the end of the show, I was on Bree’s side. Orson always was a psychotic character since being introduced on this show, I don’t think he’s actually changed. He was and still is nuts!
And speaking of psychotic, the new resident nut Dave was at it again in this episode. Dave got upset when Edie took offense that Karen McCluskey made a joke about Edie’s boobs. Karen felt it was how she and Edie always talked to one another, they always insulted one another in good fun. Dave wasn’t getting an apology from her, so he kidnapped Karen’s cat and held it hostage until she apologized. Now that last part was never proven, but when she finally told Edie she was sorry, the cat came back. Karen knew it was Dave, and headed to Katherine’s house to use her computer to find out more about him . . .
Dave is totally nuts, maybe he and Orson should form a club? I was so afraid that he was going to kill the cat and Karen would find it dead, so I’m glad she got him back alive.
All in all, a great episode!
I’m glad someone else thinks Porter’s dress code is odd. Totally like Ducky from Pretty in Pink. I thought the Lynette thing was wierd. What person would think a teeneage boy was talking to a girl about poetry online just to find a friend? That’s not usually how teenage boys work. Saw this one miles away. Perhaps this is why he turns to older women? Or is that going to be the other twin?
And if Carlos and Gaby are so poor why are they still driving the Maserati? What kind of family car is that? It’s a bit much. Get a nice four door sedan and use the money from the Maserati sale to live off of for a while.

Porter is younger if you can remember back. The twins had been in school since season 1, but Lynette went back to working and Parker was upset she was missing his first day of school.
