Desperate Housewives

Since there was no new episode last week, I thought (incorrectly) that they had run out of new episodes to show- I was wrong thankfully, because Sunday's episode was brand new- remember- we left off on a cliff hanger with Gabrielle and Carlos leaving Victor somewhere in the water after he threatened to kill Carlos...
And now we see Victor lying on a beach- dead or asleep, who knows?

Gabrielle and Victor fight about if they should go to the police or not (Carlos wants to, she doesn't) and they fight in front of a cleaning lady. The police show up at Gabby's house and she plays like she just left him and he must have done something drastic after she told him she was leaving- but the police correct her, saying that the boat they found had NO fingerprints (indicating a dumb criminal) and that they'd keep 24/7 surveillance on her house for safety.

Mike has a prescription drug problem- he hurt his shoulder a while ago and took pain pills and is hooked now. He calls his dealer to get more pills, but the guy says Mike needs to pay in cash...
Susan meanwhile, is obsessing over the new guy Julie is dating (she looked on his online profile and knows that he has a tongue ring and a below the belt piercing). So, when Mike's drug dealer- a college med student -shows up at the door looking for Mike, you know where this is going... Susan tries to play cupid.

Bree and Orson have Benjamin and she wants to keep him in their bed at night- although as Orson points out, if the baby wants to be near the milk he'll need to sleep in the fridge!
The lack of sleep is starting to get to Orson- and he tells Bree that until she starts putting Benjamin to bed in the crib, he will sleep on the couch. Bree goes to Tom (Lynette's husband) to get advice on how to keep the marital stuff hot with a child...
So Bree shows up at Orson's office in nothing but a trench coat... (thanks Tom!)
Andrew hears his mom constantly referring to how she made so many mistakes before and needs to do it right for Benjamin, and he gets fed up and moves out. Bree brings him dinner and apologizes and they work everything out...

Lynette is calling bars all over town trying to find her mother. Tom meets her at the front door, warning her that her step-dad Glen is waiting for her in the house... and she gets all happy and huggy when she sees him. He says Lynette's mom called him for money and that she broke into a car and she's fine. They team up to go find her mom, and when they do, Lynette yells at her mom for ruining everything good she had- and for cheating on her step-dad, and then he interrupts and tells Lynette that her mom didn't cheat, he's actually gay.
Realizing this, they patch things up between them and Lynette's mom agrees to move into Glen's guest house. (side note- the entire time I was trying to place where I recognized Glen from- it's Richard Chamberlain! http://imdb.com/name/nm0000328/)

Adam, the weird 'husband' of Catherine answers the door and a random woman tries to come in- she says she came because she knew Catherine wasn't home and besides Catherine was the one who ruined their lives... (so is this woman his wife?) anyway, Mike is in the house and helps Adam get the woman to leave. Mike asks Adam if as a favor, he can write him a prescription, but Adam says an OB/GYN writing a prescription for a man would raise flags- and Mike alludes to a secret being kept both ways (meaning, he won't tell Catherine about the random woman who showed up). Anyway, Adam goes to Orson's office to try to get Mike the medicine...

Orson goes to Mike and offers him the prescription, but tells him he is uncomfortable giving it to him. Mike tells Orson he is still in pain from the accident where the guy hit him with the car (remember- it was Orson driving!) I really had forgotten about all that, but now I am curious again.

Edie sees that the Mayor is missing in the newspaper, and calls in an anonymous tip- saying that she doesn't think he's missing, she thinks he's dead.

Flash to Carlos and Gabby fighting again over telling the cops the truth. She finally agrees to go, but first she wants a drink to calm their nerves, and she (of course) adds sleeping pills to Carlos' drink. As he starts to pass out, the detectives show up again, and Gabby distracts them outside- and then they tell her Victor has been found and does she want to go to the hospital- which she of course says yes to, leaving Carlos passed out on her floor.

Julie and Barrett (Mike's drug dealer) are hanging out at the house, Mike comes in and Susan is all smiles because Julie and Barrett are getting along so well. Mike gets Julie out of the room and tells Barrett he needs to leave, but Barrett threatens to blackmail Mike about his drug use, so Mike backs off- for a moment. Mike walks in to the kitchen and tells Susan that Barrett is a drug dealer, and Susan tells Mike to throw him out, and as Barrett leaves, he says, "It's a shame, Mike was my best customer".
(Later that night, after Susan sees Mike sneak another pill from his truck, she goes to look and sees that the prescription is from Orson Hodge).
Dum Dum Dum

Gabby goes to see Victor in the hospital- and he claims the last thing he remembers in a Friday staff meeting (therefore, nothing about the boat, or being hit...)
But when everyone leaves the room, Victor whispers to her that he remembers everything...
Dum Dum Dum (and they play ominous music...)

Hope to see another episode next week- the season finally got interesting!
