Desperate Housewives: Naughty Nurses

Bree meets Roseanne's sister, who recants her accusations about Orson. The plotline continues to turn, and she might just be the crazy one when it all comes out.

Gaby and Carlos' divorce gets ugly, and he gives her what she wants. Which, based on the way things are going, is taken the opposite of the way it normally would be.

Tom and Lynette go to his new pizza place, which of course she knew nothing about. They fight, and so Tom decides to stay in his new rat-infested empty pizza joint rather than go home. That means something, in relationship terms.

Bree is being socially snubbed at the tennis club, which is the DH equivalent of telling "Your Momma's So Fat" jokes.

Babymomma is using her daughter to spy on Lynette, which would be awful if Lynette were still a sympathetic character at this point.

Gaby finds out Carlos, a convicted felon, is sitting on a multi-million dollar job offer, and that's why he wants to get divorced so quickly. She makes plans to be more devious than him.

Susan walks in on Mike and Edie reenacting my favorite scene from "Naughty Nurses XIV".

Lynette and Susan relax by drinking themselves stinky in the middle of the afternoon.

Mike is interrogated by the Black Ghostbuster. Another woman's been murdered in the area, and he's got a connection. Amnesia is a handy way to get out of those situations.

Babymomma shows up with food and drinks for Tom, who's crashing in the pizza tenement. She tries to seduce him, and he rejects her.

With Gaby joining them on the porch, 3/4 of the cast is drunk. Lynette realizes, correctly, that she's a bitch. Susan decides to do something impetuous, so she drunkenly steals a cab from an octagenarian. She shows up at Great Brit's party, vomits, and passes out, and doesn't see an agent Great Brit wants her to meet.

This is a good time to ask a question. Lynette works, Bree has inheritance, and Gaby has Carlos. How does Susan earn a living? She's a writer who never writes, or even discusses her career. She fired her long-time agent at least a year ago, and hasn't mentioned getting a new one. How does she afford to put food on the table for her and her teenage daughter? Who, by the way, isn't even in this episode with the tired subplot with the shirtless soaphunk.

Bree is at dinner with Roseanne's sister, and she shows Bree a picture of Orson's first wife, badly beaten. Meanwhile, Orson talks with her husband about a missing girl named Monique, which is the name he called the dead woman at the morgue he claimed he didn't know. Nice twist.

Tom goes home, and he and Lynette work it out. See? All it takes to win an argument with Lynette is to get her good and soused. Lynette finds out about what happened and kicks in Babymomma's door, and hopefully brings this plot thread to a screeching halt.

Susan wakes up, with Great Brit waiting on her in her own house. She's badly hug over, and makes out with him at the kitchen table. Again, doesn't she have a daughter she should be taking care of?

The Black Ghostbuster gets a phone call from Orson, who drops the dime on his dinner guest and the identity of the body in the morgue. Now if Orson could explain Ernie Hudson's bizarre haircut, we'd have it all wrapped up.

Gaby seduces Carlos, just in case we forgot who the sexy one was on the show. Remember when Gaby would wear underwear a lot, when she was sleeping with the gardener? Remember when she smoked after sex? Yeah, me either. Carlos does the old Scooby-Doo swerve on Gaby, and she throws him out a window.

Edie dresses up for Mike, and he flashes on a memory of the dead woman in the morgue in lingerie. So Mike has slept with every woman who's a part of a murder mystery in the area for several years? I guess it's nice to have a theme.
