It had already been revealed before that Edie did have a child, but only once and that was in the very first episode: when Susan talked to Martha Huber at the market, and she stated that she would be “Edie’s child’s babysitter overnight”, because Edie would have a date. That’s what led Susan to Edie’s house, thinking the man was Mike, and caused that fire. Since then Travers hasn’t been mentioned again, but at least it’s not a scoop. He appears out of nowhere, but for those who remember these details...
Anyway, about this arc: Carlos all cute worried about the boy playing in the street so late. He missed the date and everything. And I don’t think it’s bad the “shake” he gives Edie when she returns home. I find it absurd that she decides to go out like this, leaving an 8-year-old boy alone at home. Heck, can’t she put off these little parties to spend time with him? She rarely sees him. After he’s gone, she can go back to her normal life... I think what she does is really exaggerated. But on the other hand, I like the sincerity in her words during the conversation with Carlos the next day, about the reasons she agreed to give full custody to her ex-husband, etc. Despite all the flaws, I love Edie Britt so much.
I can only imagine Bree’s reaction to this Danielle bombshell. And it’s very rash how they decide to deal with the pregnancy. Danielle is sent off to who knows where, so no one knows she’s expecting a child, and she can’t return until she gives birth and the baby is put up for adoption. But one way or another, Edie and Bree will now have a common blood bond.
I always think it’s weird Julie telling Austin that she cried over his letter. I don’t know, I find it hard to imagine that because of the reasons that led to the end of their relationship, right? But I understand that he was, and is, the first love of her life and often people in love are not very rational. Anyway, Austin deciding to leave after the conversation with Andrew... I think it’s sad, I think he could change if he wanted to and if his feelings for Julie were real. But then there is also this business of him being aware that he will have a child with the neighbor...
Ian confirmed to Mike that he’s been rushing around because he saw the engagement ring. It doesn’t surprise me, and I just don’t like it! I’ve said it before, it’s justifiable because we know he has real feelings for Susan and he’s afraid of losing her. He’s been cheated on before, he’s held a grudge against Jane for a long time. But I don’t know, it bothers me a lot! Especially this bet they made on her behalf. This whole thing about Susan not being able to know why Ian proposed so quickly (he didn’t even have a ring!)... Add this to what has happened before, Ian asking Susan not to see Mike anymore, getting nervous for this one reason... At the same time I feel angry at Mike too, because all of this could have been avoided if he hadn’t been such an asshole to her when he woke up from his coma.
And finally we have the best arc of the episode: Tom! The idea he had to celebrate his wedding anniversary was WONDERFUL. A real romantic, man. That’s why I felt so sorry when he was dispatched like that by Lynette. “I’m working hard too, and what keeps me going is knowing I could do something special with you.” Right in the feels. Too bad it all went so wrong afterwards. I laugh a lot with Lynette alone, in the middle of nowhere, with freezing weather, and Tom having no idea what had happened. I feel sorry too, of course, but it’s funny. Like the wonderful couple they are, we had this beautiful scene in the cafeteria and Lynette asking Tom to never give up on surprising her, nor let these celebrations go unnoticed. It’s impossible not to love. His smile in the last scene, so beautiful!
Anyway, I think this episode is great. It’s the only one in the entire series focusing on men, showing their point of view. And with Rex’s narration, which was amazing. I loved his comments. It’s nice to see what he thinks of everything that’s going on these days, especially in his own house. I laugh a lot when he says he’s relieved to be dead, given his children’s recent attitudes.
