Desperate Housewives – Episode 5-4 Review

Top Story

Now I will admit, I wasn’t really loving this new season. I was really looking forward to the 5 year jump, but at the beginning I wasn’t really sure it was going to work. But thank god this episode changed my mind! I think it was because we saw hints of the characteristics from the wives that we love!

So… Gabby and Carlos get caught having sex by the fabulously funny Juanita! But instead of leaving it at just ‘wrestling’, they decide to spill the beans and tell her everything about the birds and the bees… how appropriate for a 5 year old! But Juanita doesn’t keep her (big) mouth shut, and she blabs to her friends about sperm and intercourse! Oops…

It turns out that Orson was lying to Bree about having a job, so he decides to ask her to employ him. She, of course, says no. Politely! Orson, again, takes her decision to heart, moves into the guest bedroom and doesn’t attend her Businesswoman Of The Year ceremony!

The other wives are jealous over Bree’s success… none more that Lynette. She gets an old taste for the ad game, creates a new campaign for Bree’s book, pitches it to her and gets knocked right down. But that doesn’t stop Lynette, she gets drunk at the ceremony and tells Bree to stop looking down on her and the others…

Mike is missing out on important milestones in MJs life, such as teaching him to ride a bike, but Jackson gets there first. Mike then moves into Mary Alice’s old house, bought by Dave to persuade him to join him and Tom’s garage band. Now that’s a bit far just to get him to join a band… perhaps he has other motives too??

But at least we got one happy ending… Bree hiring Orson… and we see them cuddled up in bed. All together now: AHHHHHHH!!
