“Attention, shoppers, we’re having a special today on not getting shot, but it’s only available at the back of the store.” I loved that Carolyn wore her pearls in the terrorizing incident. I never guessed, though, that Carolyn would be shot, too and by a woman whose son was in her Sunday-school class no less. (I thought it was going to be Edie who came out of hiding to pull the trigger; she seems like the type who would with do it with no remorse.) On the plus side, the hostage taking brought the citizens of Fairview together in a civil manner for the first time this season.
We all knew the Supermarket shooting would soon change everything. We finally saw a human side to Nora moments before her death when she said to Lynette, that Kayla was the only good thing that I’ve ever done in her whole life.
We learned how gutsy Lynette can be when she’s pushed to her limits as she yelled out to Carolyn “Maybe you deserved to be cheated on!” With all that Nora did to harm her and Tom relationship you’d think she be relieved that Nora is finally out of the picture.
Who knew that a hostage situation could be turned into a social event. Bree Van De Hodge managed to do just that. Her composure however did come crashing down when she learned Mrs. Bigsby was the lunatic at the market and after seeing the expression on her face when she heard that Lynette and Julie were being held hostage.
Now with Carolyn gone, there’s no one pushing Bree to snoop around about Orson. I’m guessing Harvey will become the catalyst in uncovering the truth about Monique’s death. Also, we haven’t heard anything about the whereabouts of Alma Hodge or the mysterious woman in the mental hospital from season 2 in a while. (I know a lot of you think they are the same woman, but they aren’t.) Do they have anything to do with each other? Did Alma really just leave Orson? After the way he’s been caring for Bree and her children lately, I’ve been wondering if he’s just tragically misunderstood and not really that evil after all. So he ran over Mike — maybe he had a really good reason to. (Rewind back to his conversation about rage with Andrew at the coffee shop.)
Speaking of Mr. Delfino, Susan seems to have gotten over him fully. But since when is Ian able to jet off to Paris? Before Susan, he was at the hospital every single day watching over his beloved comatose wife, but now that he’s got a girlfriend, is it just out with the old, in with the new? I can’t wait to see what happens when his wife wakes up. You know it’s going to happen soon enough.
So a few broken vases later and Gaby and Carlos have started to work through their issues. Was Carlos hoping to turn the living room into a front porch? Long before that scene ended, their childish behavior stopped being even slightly funny and just became plain lame. It was nice to see them end up having a heart-to-heart.
