Desperate Housewives Premier: The Housewives Are Back In Form!

Okay, let’s just talk about how amazing last nights DH was. That premier was so good, and it looks like the housewives are finally back into season 1 form.

First up, Edie didn’t kill herself after all. She didn’t even mean to, it was a trick to get Carlos to stay with her, but Mrs. McClausky got in the way! Love her! Anyway, Edie was shipped off to a suicide clinic and later returned, determined to use the event to hang onto Carlos. Carlos is still having his affair with Gabriel, but Edie isn’t going to give him up. It seems she’s found he has a 10 million dollar account in the Cayman Islands! I was really liking Edie last season, now I am afraid I’m going to be back to despising her.

Bree is still trying to pull off her baby scam. It was revealed it is less about protecting their family’s reputation and more about having another chance to raise a kid that won’t turn out to be a snot like the two she has. Why don’t she and Orson just have their own? Oh well, they were almost busted twice in this episode, once by an old lady who wanted to touch the baby and another when she got a barbecue fork stuck in her pillow baby and a neighborhood party!

Lynette revealed finally to everyone that she has cancer. She was trying to hide it, but couldn’t anymore as she was tired and couldn’t keep up with all the PTA functions a “Super Mom” was throwing her way. The women promised not to keep secrets from each other, but Bree wouldn’t confess her secret.

Susan got news she might be starting early menopause, but as it turns out the signs were messed up . . . she and Mike are pregnant! Not sure how I feel about this turn of events yet.

Finally the new neighbors Katherine, her husband Adam and her daughter Dylan moved into the neighborhood. Loving them already! Katherine lived on the street years ago when Susan and Mary Alice lived there, the others hadn’t moved in yet. Katherine looks to give Bree a run for her money in the “perfect on the outside, so many secrets on the inside” department. Katherine had a different husband back when she lived on the lane, we don’t know what happened to him. Dylan and Julie were the best of friends, almost like sisters. Something happened and one night they just took off. Now Katherine is back with a new husband. Her aunt who lives in the neighborhood isn’t doing so well, they returned to take care of her. Julie learned Dylan basically has no memory of her or Wisteria Lane at all. In fact the earliest memory she has is of a man in her room. When it was suggested by an old baby sister she seek therapy for this, Katherine flipped and refused. As the show ended, Katherine and Adam were in “the room” where “it” happened. Dylan wanted to move back into the room, but Katherine won’t let her and is keeping it locked.

So . . . . . what do we think happened? Was she molested by her father? Did they kill the old husband? I think that is just too easy. At first I honestly thought maybe Dylan wasn’t Dylan, that Dylan died and they kidnapped someone to pass off as Dylan. That doesn’t seem the case though as Katherine and Adam talked about how Dylan doesn’t remember what happened in the room. I think I’m going to love this mystery and season of DH!

  1. I can’t believe it Nathan Fillion on a show that won’t be axed mid-season. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Just loved him on Firefly and the short lived and less seen Drive. I just really hope they dont give us the sexually abusive gyno storyline which this seasons first esp may have hinted at, but is is DH and they do like to throw us off the trail a bit so who knows.

  2. This was totally one of the better episodes of DH. I haven’t been this thrilled with the show in a long time.

    The ladies are back in the swing of things & there’s going to be some good stuff this season. I loved all the foreshadowing — especially the part with Carlos cutting Edie down & the line that, if only he knew how she’d screw with his life, he’d have left her up there. Fabulous!

    Lynette throwing up in that purse was disgusting — was a little disappointed we didn’t get to see the snobby PTA lady’s reaction.

    Curious to see where this new neighbor story goes. Funny how she acts like she’s still one of the founding housewives, even though she’s been gone for years, and treated some of the ladies as newcomers. Should be good having one that throws snottiness back at Bree.

    3 cheers for a fantastic opener — fingers crossed for the rest of the season!

  4. I thought he said “She can’t remember what happened in here” as saying there is no way she could remember because she’s not the same girl.
