3x03 A Weekend in the Country

How can you not laugh at that TV interview with Andrew? It’s very funny him saying that his mother abandoned him, that his father was murdered by her boyfriend. And the woman in the lobby adding “some people just shouldn’t have kids.” Orson pisses me off a little, wanting to go ahead with the trip, even with a situation that left Bree absolutely shocked. She would never be okay at the resort knowing that her son, no matter how bad he is, is eating garbage and sleeping on the street, right? “Don’t make me choose between you and my son, because believe me, you will lose.”

And although I don’t like Orson at all, it’s always good to recognize when someone does something good and that goes for the scene where he decides to go after Andrew to encourage reconciliation. Despite the mysteries that surround him, the dark past that is being revealed little by little, this attitude shows that he really cares about Bree and her happiness. He saw that she was unhappy with these events and tried to reverse the situation. And his brief words had an effect on Andrew, who decided to go back. He could have done it sooner, but he was there to punish her, just like Orson said. And enough of this punishment. It’s time to live harmoniously.

I’m really used to Nora, because her madness doesn’t bother me at all. On the contrary, I have fun with the outbreaks and especially with Lynette’s reactions to everything. Nora yelling at the truck guy makes me laugh so hard. And that moment of Lynn all happy eating her lunch and finding Nora alone on the road is AWESOME. Nora is a difficult woman to get along with, but I really admire Kiersten Warren’s work because she turns that side of her into something really comical. And seriously, the duo with Lynette is amazing! They don’t get along and that’s what makes it so good.

Speaking of Lynette: Poor thing, even when she takes a weekend off, she has to run to the rescue of her family. Tom is not good for being alone with the children, something always happens to him... And it was intriguing what Nora said, about him not being able to open up to his wife about what he feels and what he wants in life. Damn. But I liked Lynn giving this incentive, both for him to open up and to follow what he wants to do and never did...

Susan’s arc is very strange... Man, the amount of condoms Ian took on their trip: surreal. But I still think it’s too early for her to get involved with someone else like that. Not for him, because Jane has been in a coma for years. And Mike has been in this situation for “only” six months... And he’s still alive. If Susan feels like she’s cheating, then she could have given it a little more time. I can’t understand this fixation she has on always having someone. She could get closer to Ian and get to know him better, as friends... In the future, who knows? But as it was, it was VERY fast. Then after spending SIX MONTHS going to the hospital to visit him, Mike goes and wakes up to the moment she is in the arms of another man. And with Edie present... You can already imagine the drama that could possibly follow, right? If Susan felt guilty before, that will triple.

One of the best scenes of the episode is Gaby inside that suitcase! FUCK! To be honest, I LOVE this reunion with John, I really do. And I LOVE that they got back together, they have a lot of chemistry. Now the situations have been reversed. She’s the lover, and he’s committed. But I also liked that he politely declined her request to become lovers. Not wanting to have a marriage like that, trying to make it work, is essential.

“That’s what all good girls say before they become bad girls. Believe me, I know.” I chose to love you, Edie Britt.
