Lynnette may be having more than a business relationship with the new guy at work, and Tom’s older daughter has suspicions. That’s what I remember from the promos. But I’m really hoping for more info on Mrs. McCluskey and her
dead-husband-sicle.

Well…Susan is high and dry, but not for long, if the preview is to be trusted.
Tom and L. will reach the boiling point very soon.
I like Edie but I am tired of Gabi. I really miss the Van deKamps.
Was there anything Mrs. McCluskey could have done, legally speaking, about the problem with her husband’s pension paper?
Why isn’t Mrs. McCluskey in jail for cashing her husband’s pension checks? What did I miss?
That kayla is a bitch. Even though she was right about Lynette.
Did anyone notice how tight Julie’s pants were in this episode? Once I noticed, I was kind of distracted.
Presumably the police don’t knowabout that yet. She was charged with improper disposal of a corpse and I’m assuming is out on bail. Since she had only told Parker about the pension business before, the police would have no way of knowing about the checks. Not sure but I think the pension plan would have to press fraud charges before the police would act on that aspect anyway.
Yeah, I agree, Otto. Disappointingly, I’m afraid she’s going to get away with that fraud. It’s not that I wish her ill; it’s just that fair is fair and life sucks sometimes. We don’t always get the breaks.
Regarding Gaby, I really don’t get the hatred some people have for her. Her beauty entitles her to certain expectations, and she merely capitalizes on those. Other people have other assets, but that’s the one she’s born with, and she’d be a fool not to use it. Plus, I do find this story line interesting. I’m sure she’ll end up bringing down the mayor somehow.
Susan is just… Gah, I don’t know. A land mine covered with skin, I guess. Sheesh.
And Lynette and Tom. It’s so sad when couples don’t communicate. He thinks she’s having an affair, and that that’s why she doesn’t want him to come back. Based, no less, on the musings of a little kid. But the reason she doesn’t want him to come back is because he’s a disaster for the business. It’s profitable now, and he’ll find a way to make it plunge into bankruptcy. I really have lost all patience with him.
Someone please tell me what was up with that tarantula in the van. Was it just a special effect (I hope)?
Liberal:
SAY WHAT???
The woman has an affair. Then, after the affair is broken up, she tells a) her husband that he should have an affair of her own so he won’t throw her affair back in her face, and b) her immigrant housekeeper that American men value women of experience rather than virginity; true she said that so she’d surrogate-mother her egg, not necessarily have sex, but tacitly it was encouragement to screw as much as she could. Then, once her husband screws the housekeeper, BOTH DOING WHAT SHE TOLD THEM TO, she gets upset that they did it together, threatens the housekeeper with deportation and throws the husband out. And to add to her hypocrisy, she apparently was upset that the husband’s affair was with someone they employ, but her affair was with their own gardner, so WTF???
Then, during the divorce proceedings, she proves herself to be a total golddigger, pushes her husband/ex-to-be out a window, and when the assets are finally divided, she begins to attempt to destroy as much of her husband’s half as possible.
These are expectations her beauty entitles her to? You really don’t understand the hatred for this character?
(hoping I’ve been whooshed)
But that’s just spin, Kel. C’mon. Let’s look at those point by point.
-
When she had the affair with the gardener, recall that he was one of those pretty boys with a perfect physique and a sort of child-like innocence. The male version of her. If they had not gotten together, the rocks and stones themselves would have demanded it. (Apologies to Jesus.) Remember that Carlos was not satisfying her during that time.
-
Carlos did in fact throw the affair back in her face. This was after she had been honest with him, and he beat up the gay cable guy. He dragged his nosey bitch-mother into the whole affair. And she would not rest until either she died or she brought down Gaby.
-
She placed a lot of trust in the surrogate mother who feigned a sort of obsequiousness until her true colors came shining through. When they did, she turned into a jaguar, pouncing on Carlos and making a maid-servant out of Gaby. (And don’t forget the nun whore just prior to that, that he was spending so much time with.)
-
They had a deal with respect to the housekeeper/surrogate, but no deal with respect to the Greek god/gardener.
-
He left her high and dry, first making her accustomed to a particular lifestyle and then yanking it out from under her by his own criminal behavior. She was a *victim * of the break-up.
I think she’s a complex character, and things look different from her perspective.
Yes, I suppose things do look different from a self-induced gravitational vortex of which one is the permanent center…
