WATCHING THE DETECTIVE Susan's mouth got her into trouble again as she encountered an old nemesis
More Desperate Housewives recaps
Also providing some laughs in a very isolated story line was Gaby, who's still home-schooling Juanita. But, naturally, it wasn't going so well, as evidenced by how Gaby decided to teach Juanita about fractions: ''Okay, fine, let me make it more interesting for you,'' Gaby said. ''Say I take Mrs. Doolittle, your favorite doll, and I chop her into thirds. I bury one-third in the yard, I put another third down the garbage disposal. How much of Mrs. Doolittle do you have left?'' Hehehe, gotta love Gaby! The story line overall, though, was rather throwaway. Gaby ended up enlisting the housekeeper, who had a PhD from another country but couldn't find academic work in the States, to teach Juanita and tried to hide it from Carlos. He found out — shocker!
Now, just because there were several good lines from last night's episode, I'll share some of my favorites that I didn't mention yet:
''Don't patronize me! Angie's are light as air. Mine are like shot-puts!'' — Bree, after Orson compliments her attempt at making gnocchi
''I don't want jewelry! I don't want romantic gestures! I want out!'' — Bree, giving it straight to Orson
''Honey, you hear that? People are asking us for gardening tips. We are officially suburban!'' — Angie, after Lynette claims she's stopped by to talk to Nick about how he cares for his roses
''Because Ivana sucked — and not in that good vacuum sort of way!'' — Carlos, to Gaby, about why he asked for a new housekeeper
''You have to know that stuff! If not, you're gonna end up scrubbing other people's toilets!'' — Gaby, trying to impress upon Juanita the importance of fractions, while in earshot of the housekeeper
''What were they fleeing from? Cleanliness?'' — Carlos, who was surprised at how unclean the house was, after Gaby told him about how their housekeeper Ivana had to flee her old country
''Don't worry — your doll is safe. If I'm going to chop anything off, it's going to be something of your daddy's!'' — Gaby, hilariously assuring Juanita that her doll is fine
But what about you, TV Watchers: Did you have a favorite line, sound bite, or quip from last night's episode? Do you agree with me that the Bolens were finally more appropriately integrated into Wisteria Lane? Would you want to see Kathy Najimy return for another episode? How much are you anticipating the upcoming plane-crash episode?!?
