Desperate Housewives

Season 6; Episode 8

“Coffee Cup”

This week Susan manages to avoid jail time for shooting Katherine, AND instead is sentences to garbage pick up for all of her “trash talking” of Katherine. Talk about the punishment fitting the crime!  Katherine taunts Susan and her orange jumpsuit, and Susan to turn the tables on her. Katherine has a hissy fit and reveals that she and Mike once had sex five times in one day, which of course gets Susan all worked up. When Susan can’t get Mike in the sack more than three times in one day, she has one of her typical annoying tantrums. Mike comforts her by telling her that the only reason he and Katherine had sex five times in one day is that the sex was the only thing that their relationship was founded on. I guess this was meant to be an “aww” inducing moment, but I was too busy wondering where M.J. has been in the last few episodes.  Besides, I couldn’t be more over the whole Mike, Susan, Katherine love triangle.

On to Angie, who is becoming my favorite addition to any of the seasons so far. And to be honest, the other housewives toils and tribulations were becoming dull and boring, and almost made me give up the show altogether after the dismal season five. Anyway, Angie’s now beside herself, what with giving Nick grief about his affair with Julie and being too involved with Bree’s life.  Orson admits to Angie that he suspects Bree is having an affair, and of course, Angie immediately tells Bree.  She refuses to spy on Bree, and yet still manages to get all tangled up in it, looking on as Orson enters the house while Bree and Karl are upstairs getting it on. Angie intervenes and saves the day, but how long before she asks Bree to return the favor. Also, when Orson is discussing the plot of Madame Butterfly, I got the impression he was hinting at the thought of killing  himself because he will, as everyone else in due time, find out about Bree’s affair. Personally, both Karl and Orson kind of bug me so I’m just as torn as Bree is about which man to choose.

Elsewhere, Lynette thinks she has the perfect way to hide her expanding secret pregnancy. She’ll just wear Tom’s clothes! Ah, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg, when she and Gaby start squaring off over one of Lynette’s colleagues. Gaby convinces Carlos to transfer Terrence, the colleague in question, to Florida so that Juanita can take Terrence’s daughter’s spot at a Catholic school. Realizing that she won’t be able to take maternity leave without Terrence, Lynette turns the tables and convinces Terrence to reject the transfer. The tables turn on Lynette when Gaby discovers that she’s pregnant — and Carlos is pissed. He gives Lynette an ultimatum — take the spot in Florida, or quit. Though Carlos’s anger is understandable, I think I’m on Lynette’s side here. Carlos had been complaining about another co-worker’s pregnancy, so Lynette had every right to be scared to tell him.

And, lastly, who killed the coffee shop waitress at the end of the episode? We know Nick was the only customer in the place right before it happened, but could it be THAT obvious? Where has Danny been? Was it him? Was He watching through the window?  Are you in favor of Orson or Karl? Tell me!

As there will be no episode this week due to the American Music Awards, we’ll talk again in 2 weeks!!

Until Next Time!
