Oh so 'desperate'

Behind these beautiful faces are lies lies lies. This week’s Desperate Housewives was definitely no let down. The lives on Wisteria Lane are superficial, but it always keeps me coming back for more.

Last week on the show Gabby told her Senator husband Victor that she wanted a divorce. Mainly so she could get back with her ex. So he took her out on a boat and she clubbed him and pushed him overboard. When she called Carlos, her ex, and couldn’t find the body she freaked. This is one messed up love triangle. If you are with a woman who pushes you off a boat and leaves you to wash up on shore, the marriage is doomed. Victor’s body is found in this week’s episode, and he is alive. He remembers the whole thing and is definitely out to get revenge. If Gabby started the break up like this who knows how Victor will end it.

Susan and Mike have problems of their own. Mike is taking pain pills, even after his prescription is gone. Mike, a grown man, is buying the pills from a local college student. When Susan sees this “charming” boy she tries to set him up with her daughter. When will your mom ever TRY and set you up with a drug dealer? Probably never. In her defense she didn’t know he sold drugs, but we all did.

Meanwhile Brie is still harboring her daughter’s baby as her own. Andrew, her son, decides to move out because the “charade” has gone on long enough. How embarrassing to have your mom, much older mom, practically steal a baby. I don’t know which is more humiliating: having a baby or not actually “having” the baby.

These desperate housewives never fail to amaze me. Every week their lives get more and more twisted, and it keeps viewers wanting to know who will get divorced next or who will black mail who.
