As I get ready to watch tonight’s “Desperate Housewives,” I’m finally posting a quick blurb about last week’s episode. This was the much anticipated episode where we learned what happened in that five year gap. While I enjoyed it, I was a little disappointed. It seemed like we got more of the present than the past in the episode. Don’t get me wrong, it was a good episode, but I thought it would be more about filling us in.

We learned that Bree had a drink when Orson went off to prison, and that Katherine moved in to help her cope. Orson, who had been nasty to Bree for awhile and finally announced he wanted a divorce, felt a bit foolish when he learned what happened and why Bree felt so indebted to Katherine. Orson finally stopped pushing, saying he would work for them and not insist on being a partner like he had been demanding.

Tom was electrocuted at the Pizzeria and almost died. This is what spurned his actions as of late and the apparent mid-life crisis. His latest idea was to sell the restaurant, buy and RV and spend a year traveling. As Lynette finally put it to him, the Pizzeria was supposed to be his dream and they dropped everything to make it happen, he couldn’t keep doing this. I loved when she threw a drink in his face, she should have done more than that! I’m hoping after this he’ll be a little less spastic than he’s been, as he’s getting on my nerves.

We learned Gabby’s little girls were both miracles, she was not excepted to be able to have kids after her miscarriage. She also wanted Carlos to get a vasectomy as she would not be having any more babies, but he lied and didn’t get one. She had a pregnancy scare, but wasn’t pregnant. She was upset with Carlos, but he didn’t want to give up the dream of a third kid, possibly a son. Oh boy, we can see where this is going. With all the “rumors” that Eva is pregnant in real life, it seems like they are going to have Gabby get pregnant on the show.

Finally we learned that before they made it final, Susan had second thoughts about the divorce. However it was Mike who was tired and signed the papers, telling her to do the same. Ooooo that made me so mad! All this time we’ve been led to believe the divorce was Susan’s idea, she pushed for it. While she might have, it seems in the end it was Mike that made it official. Of course we don’t know how insane Susan acted so perhaps he had just gotten fed up with her. Jackson meanwhile decided he and Susan should move in together in this episode, which she didn’t want to do. She didn’t want to change their relationship, not wanting to do the commitment thing.
