Desperate Housewives: Borrowed Money & Not-So Dead Parents
So this week’s “Housewives” had a lot of scary, violent men on it. Wow, this years season finale looks to be a big one for sure with all the psychos living on this block now.
The one storyline that was more humorous than anything was Gabby and Susan learning that both their husbands had deceived them. Gabby wanted to buy some ski chalet, but Carlos said their money was tied up in another deal. She found out he lent 50K to Mike. Eventually Susan learned of this too, and she was none to pleased that her husband would borrow money rather than use what she had sitting in the bank as a result of selling the strip club. They teamed up to teach their husband’s a lesson at dinner. It was probably one of the few times this season where Susan was really funny and didn’t make me cringe cause she was doing something stupid. As for Gabby . . . who just decides to take half their savings to go buy some resort vacation house? Oh, never mind, of course, Gabby does!
Bree was stunned to learn Sam lied to her, his mother in fact was alive. Now Bree is onto Sam, but it might be too late. It seems Rex made the offer to Sam’s mom to have him live with him, saying he could provide Sam with a better life. Sam found out a few months ago and was livid, realizing he could have had the family he always wanted. When Bree confronted him, he lost it and began throwing and smashing things. Yeah Bree, it’s time to fire Sam and kick his arse out! He is not a well boy.
The other lunatic on the block, Eddie, couldn’t control his anger around Lynette’s family. Whenever Tom or Porter insulted Lynette, he would lose it and go nuts, even attacking the son at one point. Lynette wanted to get him help, but the psychiatrist felt they also needed to have sessions with Eddie’s mom. That’s when she went looking for his mom, only to find out the mom is mysteriously missing. It’s time for Lynette to give Eddie the boot. Not her kid, not her problem, has to think of her own family first. Plus is Eddie even a minor? It seems he’s not, so he’s not Lynette’s worry anymore. Unfortunately we know from the finale spoilers that Lynette finds herself in a situation with Eddie.
The final psycho Patrick ran Nick down this week, and while he was stuck in the hospital, moved in on Angie. And by in on, I mean in with. He blackmailed her into letting him move into her house, saying if she called the cops she’d be giving herself up too. Oh boy! We did learn for sure that Nick is an ex-FBI agent who convinced Angie to run away from Patrick. He was undercover trying to nab Patrick when they all met.
As I said, this finale is going to be insane, and when I say insane I mean it . . . three lunatics on the block, a new family moving in, and an old cast member returning who, given the limited amount they can choose from, also probably isn’t well in the head.
Finally Porter shaved of that stupid mustache.
What Aspen ski chalet costs $50,000? Even as a down payment.
I think Sam’s “mother” is part of Sam’s plan, whatever that is.
