Again, Susan with the best and purest intentions in the world. But then again, making bad decisions along the way. I think it’s cool that she’s all excited about the arrival of her granddaughter, her first ever, and she’s so willing to help Porter, that whole thing. And I understand her being upset about Julie being away and nothing ok with that idea. But she needs to give her space too, right? Julie didn’t want to keep the baby close because it would be complicated, on a visit, to see her child at home, a daughter she had rejected. Then Susan goes and sets up a whole nursery right in the room that was Julie’s. So there’s no way to defend her, right? All in her time... If she continues to act like this, she will only push her daughter further away. And nobody wants that.
On the other hand, we have Lynette, who has always been the most sensible and shows that, as much as she is already accepting the idea of her unprepared son becoming a father, she doesn’t give full support and doesn’t put her hand on his head because she knows he needs to handle many responsibilities from now on. As she said in the previous episode, a child changes everything. He will sacrifice a lot, his life will change, etc. Anyway, I laughed too hard at the fight she and Susan had in the nursery. Lynette’s revolt taking the crib back, causing Susan to fall. And I think the conversation that the companions of each one have with the other is very cool. Tom is so hateful this season, but I thought it was great that he explained that Lynette needs to feel needed – this had already been shown in an episode of last season, just when she decided that the twins needed to leave the house. Mike, same thing... They both made it possible for them to make up and I loved it so much. Lynette offering Susan help at the end was really cute.
Karen getting sick, losing her balance at the beginning of the episode... It was too tense. And I’m speechless for her decision. She is clearly scared, already convinced that this time, she won’t be able to beat this damn disease. Practically dealing with it alone... and saving Roy to avoid further suffering. I can’t contain myself. Gaby asking him about his first wife, and he getting emotional when talking about the disease and how he was there for her in the last moments, he made her feel loved and comforted, it was very strong! It was a scene of a giant dramatic charge. I think Gaby did well to tell, and she really had to do something since she boycotted their reconciliation in the last episode out of pure selfishness, right? Anyway. Good luck to Karen, she doesn’t deserve this.
The disgusting loan shark... That’s scary, but at the same time it’s very revolting. The debt paid off, there’s nothing left for Ben to pay, much less for Renee who never did any kind of “business” with him, and the guy is harassing her just because he realized she has money. I feel so disgusted and so angry for this guy. Worse is that he thinks he’s a badass, he thinks he has some right to commit these acts and even to attack someone. He assaulted Mike and what did he expect? That he would get away with it and that Mike wouldn’t defend himself? Mike should have hit him harder, but I loved him throwing the worm out of the house hard. But the threat he made was frightening. “You should have killed me.” Loan sharks are no joke, and this one is pretty vindictive. If he was “attacking” Renee for no reason, imagine Mike giving him a beating like that?
Finally, we have Bree’s plot. I don’t think she was naive about Orson, I think it’s plausible that she believed the things he said for a few reasons: 1) she was totally lonely and spiraling after being dumped by her friends, apart from that he came up again in her life in a very desperate moment, she was being attacked by a man, and he stopped the worst from happening; 2) even after the things he did in season 5, Bree tried to get back together with him when Karl died, the marriage only ended because he chose to leave, meaning she still felt empathy for him; 3) in season 7, Orson briefly returned home and she welcomed him even though she was already living with Keith, she was unable to send him away even when she realized he had lied about the woman he was with breaking up with him; and 4) no one EVER imagined that someday Lynette, Susan and Gaby could be so unfair, hypocritical and inconsistent with Bree just because she did everything she could to help and protect them. Orson lied, but what he said about the girls, Bree herself had heard from their own mouths. There was an episode where Lynette even commented something like that, about her “deserving it”. So...
Orson just doesn’t have empathy on my part. I recognize that there was a time when he was good to her, when they were happy, even with the fact that he entered this relationship and marriage with many lies and omissions. But that time has passed a long time ago, it doesn’t surprise me at all that he’s so bad as to send a threatening letter, with such disturbing content as that, much less that he decides to turn it all over to the police for not getting what he wanted. He has been showing a very selfish and petty behavior for some time. He’s a hypocrite. Wasn’t Orson the one who got rid of Monique’s body after Gloria Hodge killed her? Wasn’t Orson the one who coldly tried to murder Mike in that hit-and-run? Wasn’t Orson the one who faked guilt in Monique’s death for Alma and made his mother take the blame alone, when he was a direct accomplice? That’s all Bree knows, and she’s never told anyone about it. Then he goes and reports it to the police, just for not accepting his divorce and his failed marriage. Orson Hodge is disgusting and deserves nothing but death. He’s a wretched worm.
At least now the way is clear for a reconciliation between Bree and the girls. They’ve been away for too long.
