“The God-Why-Don’t-You-Love-Me Blues”

Is there ever a week where Desperate Housewives isn’t about keeping secrets?

I really can’t remember one hour of the show that has been totally secret-free, and that’s fine with me! Danny kept his dad’s secret about Julie; we learned from a conversation with Angie and Danny about ”the explosion” that left Angie scarred; Lynette continues to keep her baby secret from Carlos; Ana kept a secret about seeing Gaby and John kiss from Carlos; Bree continued to keep her affair a secret from everyone; and Julie kept the identity of her married lover (which this blogger was able to figure out right before the last shocking scene of the episode) secret from her mother.

Actually, Nick referring to himself as Dominick threw me at first. When Nick referred to himself as Dominick at Julie’s beside, I kept wondering who Dominick was (a secret identity? a pet name?) before I realized that Nick was Maybe that’s what the whole ”D” thing in her journal was about, too? Now that I think about it, I got a weird vibe from Julie and “D” from the very first episode, but never thought much of it. Until now. It all makes sense.

Of course Katherine going nutso during the wedding when Bree was going to use the same cake that Katherine had designed for her never to happen wedding to Mike, was the highlight for me. Now that Bree fired Katherine (and I have to say the keying of Bree’s car was priceless) what will she do? She says her work was the only thing she had going for her, and now she doesn’t even have that anymore. I expect more drama from Katherine before the mid-season finale. Yes, there will be a mid-season finale. What’s the deal? Television can’t go a whole season anymore without taking a break half way through it?

Oh, and the whole storyline with John returning sucks, in my opinion. I hope Marc Cherry doesn’t plan on Gabby reigniting her affair with John now that he’s a successful business man.  And I’m just starting to like the character of Ana, Carlos’ Niece.

Oh, well.  Besides everything else, this season is shaping up to be as good as, or maybe (shudder the thought) even better than the first season, which in my opinion was the best season of television at that time on any network.

Tune in next time!

Until Next Time
