This is the first episode this season that I think Susan is a little over the top. I say a little because, on the one hand, it’s understandable for her to be upset that her mother doesn’t even want to take a test to see if she’s compatible, given that she’s present at the hospital and all. But on the other hand, as I said earlier, it was stamped on both Sophie’s and Aunt Claire’s faces that something was wrong. Claire opened her mouth to say something and was interrupted. OF COURSE something else would be happening for Sophie to be behaving like that. I find it so absurd that Susan didn’t realize this. Apart from that it was ironic to see her all angry after freaking out to know that her mother was coming to visit her. She didn’t even want a visit, imagine the kidney!
I reiterate how I feel about the scene of their conversation. I find this arc very emotional, from the moment Claire reveals that Sophie has breast cancer, to the part where Susan visits her mother to reveal how much she loves her no matter what. Really, I can’t control my tears with the sincerity of both of them at this moment. Susan respecting Sophie’s decision not to become “the center of attention”. Sophie with that look in her eyes, suffering from not being able to tell the truth, afraid of what the future has in store for her. One of the most emotional scenes of the season so far. I hope Susan continues to hear from her and that Sophie gets well, she is strong and needy and should get through this.
Lynette is priceless with those vendettas against Tom. She was very creative, and I had so much fun with everything! The ripped pants, him slipping on the stairs, the gay porn in the work files. In fact, Renee totally unnecessary going to tell him, she had no business doing that. In fact, she should also be the victim of the little tricks!! After all, Lynette would never do anything to really hurt, would she? But anyway. Another great moment of the episode is when she expresses her biggest frustration with his betrayal: being at home reflecting and realizing that she didn’t want a life without him present, while he was sleeping with her best friend. Man, that was fatal. It’s no secret that I love Tom and Lynette as a couple, so I love that she was able to get past that and focus on everything they’ve built together in their 20 years of marriage. The beautiful family they have, apart from the complicity, so many things they’ve been through together, positive and negative, and they’ve always overcome by supporting each other - no matter how much disagreements, accusations, immaturity and so many things that may have come along the way. I love a couple!
Carlos is crossing the line in his rudeness. It was ridiculous how he talked to Gaby in front of Bob and Lee and I hate it when he says things like, “we agreed not to do this and that”, when in fact there was no agreement, it was an imposition. As I said in the last episode, I understand his frustration over Juanita, but is it possible that he can’t see that Gaby is also going through a big emotional problem? And that what he wants her to do is extremely complicated? In addition to getting attached to Grace, Gaby is aware that that girl came from her. Even knowing that the girl is with whom she recognizes as her parents, that she was raised well and such, it’s not easy to let go of her from one moment to the next, pretending that a part of you walking around the world doesn’t exist. This doll thing is symbolic, but it is worrying to see her depositing so many feelings and adoring an object as if it were a person. It just opens up her damaged emotional, and that she needs help too.
Beth is really naive. I agree with Bree and the Reverend, she shouldn’t pay for Paul’s sins. If you stop to analyze, the biggest victim in this whole story is her. Because she married Paul on Felicia’s orders, to please her! It seems that until recently she did everything she could to make Felicia proud. And now she’s fallen in love with Paul and fallen for his story, she doesn’t believe he killed Martha Huber, when in fact he did. She’s stupid, but I feel sorry for her.
With the final reveal, it’s more than obvious, right: Zach Young planted the gun in Bree’s house. When he knocked on the door, all the girls were in the kitchen and Bree went back there to pay for the flowers (or something). He was left alone in the room and put the gun behind the pillow. Gaby didn’t feel it because she might not have propped herself up on the couch. It is then evident that he was the one who shot Paul. We know he’s been contemptuous of his father for a long time, even abandoned him in jail and all. But why is he so angry to the point of wanting to KILL HIM with his own hands?
