I feel like jumping off the couch and dancing a jig. "Desperate Housewives" is actually fun again. I cannot remember the last time an episode left me wanting more without feeling angry or tricked. Yes, it's still soap opera-ish and a wee bit over the top, but we'll work on that next.
My only quip is that they ended with the all too clichéd "To Be Continued." Duh, right? Like we thought after Orson fell off the building that he would be left floating in space, indefinitely, without hitting the ground? It just seemed unnecessary. Other than that, great mysteries abound!
What did Orson tell Bree in the bedroom? How much did Andrew hear? And the way Andrew stood up for ol' mom at the end? So glad that "Bad-rew" is back!
And Zach, you sneaky bastard! Gaby has become one of the strongest characters on the show (after being arguably the weakest for the first two seasons) and she's being wooed and tricked by Zach Young. He's creepy, but I can't help but root for the kid.
Tom and Lynette even provided a bit of suspense; could this pizzeria ruin their marriage? Tom says no, as long as Lynette checks her metaphorical balls at the door. But frankly, I don't think she's capable.
Mike finally remembered that he didn't kill Monique and that (no surprise here) Orson is somehow involved. Susan and Ian --- Yawn --- but kudos to the writers for the rest. The "Desperate Housewives" I have been so desperately craving is back. More mystery: how long can they keep this going?
