Halloween was the topic of the latest episode of “Housewives.” Poor Lynette competed with Tom’s new girlfriend to make Penny a costume, which turned into a disaster. Lynette actually liked his new girlfriend, which made things even worse for them. Lynette begged her to back off, she’s trying to save her marriage. The girlfriend wondered why, from what she heard all she does is pick fights and make them miserable . . . Wow! This show makes me side with Lynette more and more every episode. Tom is just becoming such a jerk. I think Lynette should let him go at this point, he seems to have wanted out for ages. It didn’t take him long to want to start sleeping around, only this time he was up front about it.

Susan was picked by Andre to be her new assistant at school. She thought it was a great honor. However it seems the reason he picked her is because she’s good with kids, and he wanted someone to baby sit his son on the weekends he had custody so he could go off an paint undisturbed. Susan basically let him have it for being a horrible person. He claimed art was a curse, it takes over your life, you will push away everyone you love for it . . . and one day she’d see that. She swore she wouldn’t.

Ben and Renee grew closer, but her desire to make their evening special landed her in the hospital when she had a bad reaction to some Chinese “lady sex” herbs. This story was really cute and funny, especially when Renee’s face swelled up and she started scaring all the kids away.

Carlos was haunted by Alejandro on Halloween and continued to turn to drinking, which worried Gabby. I’m not liking this one too much. We already have gone through Bree and Andrew alcoholism storylines. Now Carlos?

Finally Bree told Lynette and Gabby about Ben’s plans to build in the woods where they buried Alejandro. Bree tried to find ways to deter Ben, but they all failed. In the end they snuck out on Halloween night to dig the body up . . . only to find someone else had! While they were out there, someone else was chasing them. Who was it? I think it was either Chuck, or Mike. Ben did hire Mike, so he may have done it to protect Susan.
