Storyline

Six months later. Mike has been in a coma since the hit-and-run accident, with Susan by his side, and nobody suspecting it was the shady Orson, who proposes marriage to Bree, without either asking for sex first. Meanwhile, Gabrielle and Carlos are getting divorced, but they are briefly reunited when their pregnant surrogate mother Xiao Mei runs away after being unable to stand Gabby's constant bickering. While adjusting to having Tom's other child around the house, Lynette realizes that the girl's trailer-trash mother, Nora, is more than she bargained for when she keeps showing up at the house with Kayla as if Tom's other wife, and makes Tom decide who comes first, a birthday party does the rest. While at the hospital, Susan is asked on a date by Ian Hainsworth, whose spouse is also in a coma. During Bree and Orson's engagement party, the mysterious Carolyn Bigsby arrives, claiming that Orson murdered his wife Alma who he claims has left him. Edie is desperately trying to sell the ...

a new mystery occurs in the life of the 4 housewives that try to live the American dream...
2 February 2007 | by (Greece) – See all my reviews

nice comeback! the series at the second season focused more on the dramatic part thus being more of a drama series than a combination of drama and comedy which was what the series was famous for...this episode though has the good old desperate housewives spirit.The plot appears to be much faster and the characters seem again to have a certain depth. Although for some reason everybody rejects the show, i think that people just like giving fame on something and then taking it away! Don't hear what people around you say just do what u want, i know i do, and i most certainly not regret not giving up on the show...please keep in mind that i am not an obsessive fan of desperate housewives thus i am not just saying what i just said...keep watching!
