TV Recap: Desperate Housewives - Me And My Town

Last time we visited Wisteria Lane, there was a big fire set by Dave Williams to hide the fact that he murdered his psychiatrist. Mike nearly died, Jackson, Carlos and Orson were injured – oh and Porter threatened the club owner who is also the husband of his MILF girlfriend. Wow, what will they come up with next? You have no idea.

Gaby and Carlos have the most good news this week, as a CT scan revealed that a bone fragment lying on Carlos’ optic nerve could be causing his blindness. This is correctable, and there is a huge chance that he could be seeing in a matter of weeks. This is of course freaking fabulous for Carlos, because he’s never seen his daughter’s faces, nor has he seen Gaby, or anything else for over 5 years. Gaby has grown frumpy, as moms sometimes do, and is terrified that Carlos won’t be finding her hot once he sees her again. After a little dieting, and a little working out, she admits this to Carlos, and he blows her away by telling her that he didn’t marry her for her looks. They have an absolutely adorable moment, and I am more glad than ever that they got back together.

Mike and Katherine are super flirty while he lies in his hospital bed, and they have a little disagreement about telling Susan about their relationship – but it all comes out in the end anyway. Susan is none too happy, but I am, because she is barely in this show at all.

Dave is questioned by the cops, but they think he’s a hero, so they aren’t on to him at all. The cops do, however, think that Porter is the arsonist and tell Tom and Lynette. Dave even goes so far as to set up Porter as coming out of the storage room where he set the fire. Tom and Lynette vow to stand behind their son, no matter what – and Lynette pays off the MILF to get out of town. Turns out there is no pregnancy, and the MILF is more than happy to cut all ties for a wad of cash. Man, love just ain’t what it used to be, is it?

Orson broke his nose in the fire, and is now a major snorer. My husband snores occasionally, but it’s the kind you can sleep through. Not Orson. He is running a chainsaw. Bree asks him to get the surgery to fix this so they can go on sleeping in the same bed, but he is scared and won’t do it. She takes a sleeping pill to get a good night of rest, but he simultaneously spikes her tea with another pill. Subsequently, she is unable to perform properly at a cooking demonstration the next day. And, as you may have guessed, Orson and Bree are later in their doctor’s office asking for a date for surgery. The doctor can sense something is off, and they explain the phenomenon of power shifting in a committed relationship. He calls his special someone to make a promise to never play games – and it’s….wait for it…ANDREW! That’s right, Bree’s Andrew. WTF?!?!

Oh, I think the only thing I missed was Dave asking Mike to be his new best friend – to replace the brother he lost. Hint, hint – Mike killed said brother. Not going to end well, is it? Tune in next week to learn that Andrew’s new doctor boyfriend used to be a gay porn star, and to see Carlos get his sight back. Sounds like fun, eh?
