First a recap, then some thoughts . . .

The show opened the morning after Julie was attacked. She was found by Karen McClusky and her new boyfriend Roy. She was alive, but unconscious, and rushed to the hospital. The men became suspicious of new family, who were the only ones not to rush out to check on the commotion. When they started snooping around the son, the mom decided to get her kid an alibi. Gabbi’s niece Ana happened to like him, so she lied and claimed they were out drinking together. This was Danny’s idea to ask her, and he of course got it from his mom. For the record, the son Danny told his mom and dad he went out last night on his own and got drunk, not remembering what he did.

Julie was hospitalized and unconscious with some brain swelling, but was expected to make a full recovery in time. She briefly opened her eyes only to see Karl and Bree kissing! Bree was upset when she learned Julie would probably remember all that happened when she woke up as she’s not currently in a coma, just unconscious. Bree felt Susan out about women involved with her ex’s, using Katherine as a talking point. Susan said had she slept with and gone after Karl it would have been worse than dating Mike, as Karl cheated on her and treated her like crap. That was a friend she didn’t need.

Katherine meanwhile had deluded herself that Mike and Susan wouldn’t last, that Mike would come back to her. She later brought Mike some food, as the whole neighborhood had been bringing dinners for them, and while there she flirted with him. She however told Orson that it was Mike who made the pass at her, hoping he’d tell Bree, who would tell Susan.

Back to the hospital, Lynette had to come out with a secret when Julie was scheduled for an X-ray. Julie may be pregnant! She and Susan had to have a talk. Julie saw her upset one day and came over to talk . . one thing led to another and Julie admitted she thought she was pregnant. She didn’t say who the father was, only that it was complicated. She also asked Lynette not to tell Susan. Lynette then came forward with secrets 2 and 3 . . . she was upset that day and Julie opened up to her because she told Julie she was pregnant. Susan was happy for her, but Lynette admitted he can’t quiet the voice in her head that she does have a choice here. Susan didn’t want to tell her what to do, but basically did in her own way by talking about how right now she’d give anything just to make sure she was Julie’s mom for one more day.

By the end of the show Gabby had figured out Ana lied about her alibi for Danny. She forced Ana to tell the cop the truth. Gabby then warned new wife Angie that Ana lied and was telling the cops the truth. Angie and her husband knew the cops would be coming and told Danny not to say anything, don’t waive his rights, they’d have a lawyer at the station pronto.

Everyone on the block watched as the cops took Danny away. Karen was feeling either guilty or conflicted. Earlier in the show she did not know if she should come forward having seen Julie and Danny fighting the day before. She said it could have been nothing, and she was tired of having the families on the block mad at her for something. It was never really cleared up as to whether she told the cops, though it was alluded to she was going to.

My Thoughts
So with everyone last week suggesting it was the father that attacked Julie, I immediately went there to thinking he was the “complicated” man she was involved with. He also was very insistent that Danny and Julie were only friends. At first it would seem he did so to make Danny look less guilty, but what if it was because he was involved with her? What if Danny found out about his dad and Julie and that’s why he was calling her a whore?

I actually am really liking the new family, so I hope whatever happened . . . well they find a way to keep them around.

I have a bad feeling Katherine is going to kidnap Mike at some point and make Susan think he’s just away somewhere for awhile. Why doesn’t the show put Katherine and Orson together as they are both nuts!

I still get a bad feeling about Lynette and the babies. SPOILER ALERT! Ausiello posted a story about November Sweeps, involving a plane crash. Headman Marc Cherry admits a housewife isn’t dying, and nobody major is dying . . . I can’t help but wonder if Lynette will lose the babies, then end up having major guilt because she really never wanted them.
