I love it when two characters’ arcs come together like that, like Gaby and Lynette did in this episode. Poor Lynn... She goes through every bizarre situation. Falling and passing out in the bathtub, being rescued by Carlos, who ended up seeing her naked body. I died laughing at her face when they were both talking in the bedroom, and then she said something like “Hey Carlos, quick question”. Tom and Gaby had already interacted in a different way in that episode where she goes after him to gossip. This one also worked, indeed an unlikely but funny duo. And they have a lot of similarities, so it’s nice to see that friendship taking shape.
Dinner was the culmination with the revelations coming to light. It’s curious, usually Tom and Lynette are the most sincere couple, right? It was even weird to see them arguing over that and Carlos and Gaby were nice because they already knew everything, from both sides. BTW: Gaby joining the gardening club and not wanting to garden. It’s just like her to do that! Queen!!!
I don’t even have anything else to say about Orson, I think I’ve explained enough how I feel about this man’s bad character. I don’t think he changed abruptly, I think he was just hiding or trying to control that more “wicked” side of him, shall we say. Because his introduction to the series made the audience question his nature, we can’t forget that. During Season 4 he was a really good husband, a good stepfather, but it was only when things changed (Bree became successful and stopped cooking just for him, as already pointed out) that he decided to show himself for real. What he does to the neighbor is unacceptable and unforgivable. It wasn’t enough to have caused the accident that led to Edie’s death, it wasn’t enough that he didn’t provide any kind of help, he still had to guarantee that the doctors would consider Rose an incapable elderly woman and send her to an asylum. Who does this? Take the woman’s life, her house, out of the blue? Without any remorse?
Luckily Andrew is around and isn’t fooled. Lucky he’s been paying attention to Orson’s steps since all the blackmail he did for his job and he’s warning his mother. I’m so glad she’s decided the best thing to do at the moment is a divorce. You can’t be with a man who already said he likes to hurt her and who keeps lying for nothing!
I can’t understand Mike. There aren’t many episodes where he told Dave that he was feeling strongly for Katherine, that he was really falling in love. Shortly after, what did he do? He reaffirmed that commitment by moving into her house. And now that she exposes that she wants to take a few more steps in the relationship, he’s uncomfortable... I feel sorry for her. Because she’s being stupid and this could have been avoided, at least a little bit, if her hopes hadn’t been raised with this change. They seem to make decisions without thinking straight.
Susan all worried about Dave and taking everything she considers suicidal from inside the house was priceless. I laughed so hard at the policeman yelling at her to throw herself to the ground and Katherine seeing everything in the car. But anyway, Susan, little angel on earth who was really disturbed by the possibility of Dave trying to kill himself. Too bad she has no idea what kind of person he is. She was sincere in revealing the truth about who was really driving in the accident. We already knew that his goal was to take what Mike loved most and give him the same pain he felt. When the target was Mike, he wanted to kill Katherine. Now that the target is Susan, he goes after MJ. This man is completely crazy and unnatural. Just for the thought of killing an innocent child...
Well, about this whole mystery: I don’t even think it dragged on throughout the season. It hasn’t been a mystery for a long time. Since episode 8 we know who Dave’s target is and a couple of episodes later we find out his motivation. Since then, he has tried to pursue revenge, but he has had to face some obstacles that I think are quite clever – like the situation with the fire at the club itself, with the police going after him, him lying about Porter and slowly losing control and sanity. Before I considered this narrative weak, but watching it again I realize that they conducted this revenge plot in the best possible way, even more considering that it is 24 episodes in a season.
