‘Desperate Housewives’ Season 6, episode 4: ‘The God-Why-Don’t-You-Love-Me Blues’
October 18, 2009 by Amy Bartner
You guys aren’t going to believe this. I not only managed to convince (Not)Neighbor Peggy to come watch the show with me tonight, but Friend Erin’s back, too! If you remember from last season, Friend Erin is one of those blind-support fans. By “blind support,” I mean she’s got a friend who runs a “Desperate Housewives” blog, so she’s started watching the show.
We’re in love with this season. It’s just so, so good. It’s like Season 1 all over again. Let me know your picks for winners and losers, and check back later to see who made that list!!
So why am I wasting all this time babbling? Go go go!
(Next week, follow me here here here and here!)
8:58: Goooooood evening Desperate Housewives fans!! How are we doing tonight?
9:01: Yes! Bree’s been usurped by Katherine’s craziness.
9:02: ….but she’s obviously still in love…..with Mike?
9:02: “And then he’ll dump Susan and beg ME to take him back,” — Katherine.
9:03: Bree’s ditching the Krazy for her “real” lover!
9:04: Oh, we’re seeing some love between Angie and Nick. That’s a first?
9:05: ….and Danny wants to quit school (to practice his vampirey?)
9:05: Danny gets “sloppy” when he gets unhappy? What does THAT mean?
9:05: Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang boobs.
9:06: “The Supremes are back.” — Tom
9:07: Ha! Bennie and the Jets are excited about the Supremes. Buh-buh-buh-Bennie and the Jets.
9:08: I just saw John walk Ana up to the door and started chanting “ohmigawdohmigawdohmigawd.”
9:08: ANDREW’S BACK!!! Oh, how I’ve missed you.
9:10: Susan’s learning that OTHER people know more about her daughter than she does.
9:11: Julie’s sleeping with a married man? ….Nick??
9:14: Gaby’s FULL OF THE BEST LINES IN THE WORLD. “That’s not where the lock is going,” to Ana, presumably about her chastity belt.
9:15: (Not) Neighbor Peggy and I are arguing about Angie Bolen’s high-waisted pants in this scene. I think she looks fantastic. Peggy does NOT.
9:16: Tom and Porter both look like they’ve lost weight. Am I crazy, or, as Peggy said, “Maybe you got a wider TV without noticing?”
9:17: Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang boobs.
9:18: Carlos looks skinnier, too. Odd that Lynette’s the only one who DOESN’T look narrower to me? Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang boobs!
9:19: Also, Carlos is a PIG.
9:23: Susan learned that Julie was dating someone she referred to by “D”. D….D…..Who’s D?
9:24: Question: Is it better for Susan to be so out of Julie’s life she doesn’t know her, or like she was when she was 13 and they were bffs?
9:25: Ah, so convenient that Julie doesn’t remember anything. Funny how that verrrry thing happened to Mike…
9:28: Bree …. has phone sex? What happened the NRA woman who wouldn’t let, um, certain things happen in the bedroom?
9:29: “I’m not sick,” — Krazy Katherine. “Yes, you are.” — Bree
9:30: So let me get this straight: Carlos is discriminating against pregnant women. And pimping out Lynette’s boobs. “Buy yourself a new dress.”
9:32: John using Ana to manipulate Gaby? Aaammazing!
9:32: And…that’s that. John kissing Gaby?? I couldn’t be happier about this. Carlos, quite frankly, deserves this!
9:39: Do we believe that Gaby doesn’t have feelings for John anymore?
9:39: Hmm…an explosion caused those scars, hey?
9:44: Carlos is pressuring Lynette to show her Supremes to get business…I …do…not….like…this…..
9:45: Peggy: “Awesome college party with skeevy dad scamming on teenagers.”
9:45: Danny knows what about his father? What does Danny know?? What does he know?????
9:46: “My name is Tom Scavo and I like big breasts.”
9:48: So…what I’m getting out of this little chat between Tom and Lynette is that…small boobs are a flaw??
9:49: We’re back to 2004. Lynette’s fighting for dignity at her job. Carlos is a pig and comes home late.
9:49: ….and Gaby’s happy. No John Rowland affair? Is that it? Please, DH gods, may that not be it!
9:54: Well, it looks like Katherine’s got SOME grip on reality.
9:55: …or not? [ Amy squeezes her eyes shut and prays for a cake mess ]
9:57: We’ve got three minutes. Three minutes! I need to know who the married man is, Julie! Talk faster!
9:58: Dye your hair? Is that….what you call a mistake, Susan?
9:58: Also, I’m faaaaaairly certain that Susan’s done worse than date a married man.
9:59: Katherine, in a scary demon voice: “YOU are NOT my friend.” Then she turns to the priest and says, “Your mother’s in here with us…..” And then throws up pea soup on Bree’s pretty dress.
10:00: A nervous breakdown, Mary Alice? Is being psychotically obsessed with your ex and ruining someone’s wedding cake anything less than crazy??
10:01: Dominic! Yes! D! So that’s the fight we saw between Danny and Julie, probably?
Totally didn’t see the Nick and Julie thing coming. I know, I know, I should’ve… but I didn’t!
Here’ my take on winners and losers:
winners: Tom; because, as Lynette said, he can tiptoe through a minefield. But he’s honest. That’s why I LOVE that couple. Plus: THe Supremes and Benny and the Jets. =)
Gabby: for realizing that even though her husband works late, she really is truly happy with where her life is now.
Bree — because even though she’s having an affair, phone sex is still beneath her.
losers: John Rowland — dude, that is so over
Carlos — because, as you said Amy, he is a PIG
Julie — for having an affair w/ w married man
OMG, so (Domi)Nick attacked Julie? Is he a pedofile or just into younger girls?
.
And – NO – we don’t believe Gaby about her feelings to John
It was obvious that Nick is the boyfriend but I’m so disappointed they revealed the secret too soon. Nick is the one responsible from scar. So if something happens to Gaby it’s Ana who attack Julie and nothing bad happens it’s Nick.
Losers are Katherine and Ana. Winner is Lynette.
Losers: Katherine for being psychotic, Bree for not having phonesex with Karl (I want my BrArl every episode!) and Carlos for pressuring Lynette.
Winners: Angie for being such a great mother, Tom for tiptoeing through a minefield and Celia & Juanita for being hilarious with those mints.
Katherine qualifies (in my book) as a winner and a loser. To be that crazy, you are a fantastic person. But at the same time… she messed up Bree’s hair! AAAAAAh.
Losers-
Cake Bitch. I know she’s not a real character.
Carlos. duh.
John. Double duh.
Ana. Ugh. Heartbreak.
Winners-
Lynette. Yes.
Tom. He had that one good recovery.
GABY. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?
Can someone please help me to find out where can I find Lynette’s dress? In the 4th episode when she goes to the dinner and everyone stares at her brest. Her dress is just awsome.
Where to buy it?
Great episode. Season six rules!
Winners: Gabrielle – her speech at the end was just fantastic, I am so happy that she is so happy; Ana – the bad girl has a heart of gold deep down, she had the chance to get back at her aunt, but chose not to use it in order to protect her family’s happiness; Bree – she really is a very good friend, despite what Katherine thinks of her now, she was only trying to help her by taking a strong hand; Danny – last week, Angie Bolen deserved a spot on the winners’ list because she is such a caring mother, this time around, Danny deserves to be acknowledged for his great relationship with his mother, and he really does seem to care a lot about her.
Losers: John – ten years later, and he is actually flirting with a 17-year-old to get to his ex-lover? Get a life, will ya?…(sorry, Amy, I know you like John, I do too, but seriously…); Carlos – as a man, I like big breasts too, but Carlos was pretty much a pig throughout the whole episode, just like last episode; Tom – what kind of weird love declaration was that at the end?; Julie – I don’t like the new dark Julie, she has affairs with older married men, drops out of med school, keeps things from her mother and DYES HER HAIR!
Where’s good old perfect Julie?; Nick – the guy is just creepy, what, he thinks he’s 20?; Katherine – need I say anything?
Unsure: Lynette – she sold out, but because she wanted to; in the end, she was both clever and a hooker, so I dunno…
Question: Is it better for Susan to be so out of Julie’s life she doesn’t know her, or like she was when she was 13 and they were bffs?
—-
Any situation with Susan is gonna end up messy.
I 2nd all the winners/losers RenatoB chose. I think Lynette was a loser though. She clearly didn’t want anything to do with that situation but in the end she ended up letting Carlos pimp her out. But she’s a winner for how great her tits looked. lol
Winners- Tom Scavo. Because he always knows the perfect thing to say. He’s one of the sweetest guys EVER and you can tell he’s absolutely crazy about Lynette.
Anna- for realizing Johns a (hott)douchebag and he doesn’t really care about her. And quitting her job instantly when she found out about their history.
Gaby- for getting over John and not giving up her family for a young man.
Losers:
John- Hes so cute but it was wrong of him to abuse a 17 year old’s feelings for his own gain. And also for trying to ruin (twice) a family without any shame.
Carlos- Because pimpin’ ain’t easy.
Julie- she’s trying to protect her strangler.
Fantastic episode. I’m a little tardy with my reply, but I’ll try to think of some winners and losers before time runs out. Tick… tick… tick…
Desperate Housewives Winners/Losers, Season 6, Episode 4:
Winners:
- Lynette. 40ish and still embracing her sexuality? Bringing out the girls to close a business deal? Hey. If you’ve got ‘em… Still, she needed to be firmer with Carlos. But I LIKE sexy Lynette.
- Bree. She took a firm hand with Katherine, and stood her ground as an employer. You should never work for friends. Trust me on this one.
- Ana. She took the high road, and didn’t reveal anything about Gaby. Still, something isn’t right.
Losers
- (Domi)Nick. Evil. Pedophile. Eeeew!
- Julie. Open your damn mouth, girl!!
- Carlos. Sexist/Moral-less B***ard!
…p.s. Kathering gets honorable mention here as BOTH a winner and a loser. I like Krazy Kat. But I have a bad feeling about the future of her character.
…p.s. Katherine gets honorable mention here as BOTH a winner and a loser. I like Krazy Kat. But I have a bad feeling about the future of her character.
I like Katherine’s character and I like the material Dana has to work with this season. Just don’t make her irrecuperable cause I want her until the end of this show.
I think Bree’s a loser this time around. Susan is too ; what’s going on with crazy Susan these days? She’s such a wreck. Not a lot of winners last sunday : except Gaby and Danny who seem to have a strong bond with his mother.
I definitely see Susan as a loser. She’s losing it
. Going same way as Katherine? Nervous wreck. Some time it feels like her care about somebody is not care, but curiosity (about somebody’s secrets, like Julie’s in this episode). She’s such a gossip girl. She realy got on my nerv there in a hospital’s room.
Now I changed my mind about Julie’s attacker. Maybe it is Angie, because she found out about Nick sleeping with Julie????
