Lynette all smart buying Penny a tablet with the excuse of being able to help her with her homework even from a distance, just to spy on Tom, I laughed so hard! But I was also sorry when she saw him talking to the girl. The other scenes were great, I loved her and Renee so much going to class just to know better who Chloe was. I died with Renee complaining about the exercises, saying she was about to pass out.

Tom went down SO MUCH with this episode. As Lynette said: “what’s the point?”. What’s the point of both going to therapy, counseling, trying to solve marriage problems, if he’s already taking another woman to dinner and is already getting involved? And apparently, this involvement is more serious than he let on. This makes no sense to me and is very disrespectful to Lynette. When was he going to tell her? And why the hell is he doing this? If you’re going to play with Lynette, it’s better not to move on... I felt really sorry for her when she realized this new reality and I was angry with him for being ridiculous like that. There is no such thing. Either you want it or you don’t. How can you want to fix your marriage while dating another woman?

Gaby’s plot was also amazing. I love her making the moms come together in the “This is Sparta!” scene, and the women all vibrating together, prepared to take the dictator out of power. But I still find these rules about leaving children at school very absurd – it must take forever, since the green zone is unique and is a small space for several cars that are arriving –, apart from those parking lots B and C that are at a considerable distance . Anyway, I love Gaby being cheeky and deciding to bend the rules yet again, resulting in Dana getting hit by a car. And this twist is funny, Gaby being forced to become president of the APM thanks to a blackmail from the dictator. It remains to be seen how she will handle it. Never that Gaby could put her vanities aside for something like that, right?

Perhaps this is the first episode that Danielle has paid a visit, and she hasn’t been annoying. In fact, she even caused empathy, because it must be horrible to know that your marriage is over and still have to keep hearing from your mother all the time that she “knew it would happen” and that you are a failure, etc etc. I love this idea she has for her own business and I can’t help myself when she arrives in the kitchen and Bree is hanging out trying out the sex swing. Bree was a sweetheart in the final scene, not only for deciding to support and contribute, even if invisibly, to her daughter’s business, but admitting that she is wrong to be too judgmental of her children. It’s nice to see the relationship reestablishing itself in peace with her daughter. Better late than never, right? BTW: Danielle forgetting the whole time that she was playing hide and seek with Benjamin was hilarious.

Teri Hatcher giving a SHOW and showing her full potential (once again) in the scene where she freaked out with Andre Zeller. In fact, who wouldn’t freak out, right? She went there in the greatest goodwill and hope to learn a little more about art and heard nothing but scorn and mockery. I found it utterly absurd that he was making assumptions about her life as a housewife, reinforcing a stereotype being that he was meeting her for the first time. And I think it’s good for Susan to dedicate some time of her day to art. Far from her being weak, if there’s one thing she’s proven to be on this show, it’s a strong, warrior woman, especially with EVERYTHING that happened last season – I die with the selective amnesia of her haters. Nobody knows what it’s like to carry someone’s death on their conscience, especially being someone with a good and pure heart like Susan is. Anyway, glad she was accepted, I hope she makes good use of the classes.
