DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES

SEASON 6; EPISODE 2

“ONLY THE LONELY”

When we left Wisteria Lane last week we were left wondering what would become of Julie Mayer. Who would want to do something like that to such a nice girl? And of course we have the neighbors all gathered around shaking their heads at yet another tragedy. Why hasn’t anyone moved off this street yet is my question.  Luckily Julie is still alive, but not out of the woods, medically speaking, just yet. The new family on the block, The Bolens are suspiciously missing from the street. They decide, instead, to hide from the rest of the neighbors. Why is this? Do they know something we don’t? What (if any) role has their son Danny played in Julie’s attack?  The Husband of Wisteria Lane have their suspicions.  And so do I.

We know Danny was out on a drinking binge the night Julie was attacked, and now can’t seem to remember the events of that night.  We also find out he asked Ana to give him an alibi for his whereabouts by saying that he was with her.

Now when it comes to the Bolens, more information is needed here. Why do they feel they need to create an alibi for their son? Does he have a past? Is that why they have moved to Wisteria Lane to start with? What do Nick and Angie Bolen do for a living? Why does Angie have those nasty scars on her back?

Finally good to see Katherine getting a good story line this season, even if it is as a nutso who thinks there’s a chance Mike will come back to her.  Lynette is finally coming to terms (no pun intended) with having more kids, thanks to Susan.  Mrs. McCluskey has a new love interest (special guest Orson Bean), who finally got him to tell her he loves her.  She needs a good story line now that Dave Williams is out of the picture. And will we see more of Lily Tomlin as her sister in episodes to come?

It seems that Bree will continue her fling with Karl (for now), even though Susan said that any friend of hers who would sleep with her ex, after all he put her through, would no longer be a friend of hers.  Time will tell how long that relationship will last.  And what becomes of Orson?

Anyway, after it is found out that Ana lied to the police to cover for Danny’s whereabouts the night Julie was strangled, he becomes the prime suspect, and is hauled off to jail.

All-in-all, I would have to say it looks like Desperate Housewives is back from the dead after last season.  Keep up the great work!!

Until Next Time!

Happy Viewing!
