So the big story last night on “Housewives” had to do with Lynette suspecting Tom was cheating on her with Gail, the hot mom of one of Porter’s friends. She found Tom a warehouse space to use for his band’s rehearsals. Throughout the show Lynette became more and more suspicious that Tom was cheating on her and finally had it when she saw Gail sneak out of the warehouse she knew Tom went to. Tom however went there to confront Porter, who he realized took a girl there. He had no idea it was a woman and it was Gail! I don’t know, for me this was just a little too much like Gabby and John in the first season of the show. Perhaps though they are doing that to cause tension between Gabby and Lynette over this.

The other big story was for Gabby and Carlos, who FINALLY got a story worthy of them! At least in my opinion. Carlos gave a woman an orgasm while massaging her, and she took a liking to him. She was a lonely old lady, her husband had died and her kids and moved away. She had been in such pain until Carlos worked his magic on her, so she offered to pay them 100K to take him to Europe for 2 months as her personal masseur. Gabby was ready to ship him off, until she found out he had given her an orgasm. She then worked her own magic on Gabby, knowing how to convince her to let Carlos go. She offered to take the whole family, and Gabby would be her personal shopper in Paris and would be paid with designer couture. Oh she played Gabby like a fiddle. This woman isn’t as frail and helpless as she pretends to be! She’d got a plan up her sleeves and not a good one. I have to say I loved Francis Conroy as Virginia, the older lady who is conning the Solis’. She is fantastic! I have loved her since “Six Feet Under.”

Katherine also finally started to get a real story in this episode. She was lonely, very lonely, and had been sexless for two years. She was contemplating moving to Maryland to be with Dillon, her husband and their new baby. Bree couldn’t stand to lose her, so she tried to fix her up with Orson’s friend, who of course turned out to be an ex-con. In the end Katherine agreed to stay in town. Someone else has been a little lonely too, Mike. At the end of the show they went off to have coffee together. Oh no they are not! They plan on hooking up Mike and Katherine? Not sure I can see that working, we shall see how it plays out. Poor Susan though, not only can’t she seem to hold onto Mike, she’s constantly losing him to other women living on her street.

Meanwhile Susan decided she wanted to give a relationship with Jackson a shot, only to find out he had picked up a bar-slut the night before and brought her home. She was furious, but he told her she dumped him and therefore had no right. In the end they agreed to try and start over, having an actual relationship with real dates and stuff.

Finally at the end of the show we learned Dave had a brother named Steve, who ended up in prison for drugs and was killed by another inmate in there. Edie wished he had told her this, but he said he was dealing with it in his own way. So now it looks like we know who he’s after and why. I suspect it’s Mike, as I clearly remember Mike relaying a story of accidentally killing an inmate during a fight. However Carlos and Orson have also been in prison, though Orson’s white collar prison doesn’t seem like the place where another inmate would shank another 🙂
