Scandal and Secrecy spreads through Wisteria Lane, quicker than some STDs have known to travel through Seattle Grace.
Desperate Housewives 4 premiered with a batch of hidden secrets from the ladies, some new neighbours, new hairstyles, no hair, pregnancies, fake pregnancies and some wierd abductions. So Now, we do know.
The neighbourhood is as shocked with all these secrets, as we are...As predicted, Lynette did infact rip of her wig and reveal her cancer, however of all the secrets of Wisteria Lane, it was only Lynette who revealed hers.
Episode Quote:
Lynette: I just liked being able to throw on my wig and join you guys for a cup of coffee, and a good gossip about the new neighbors. You know, for five minutes I can pretend I wasn't a sick person. But once your friends know you're sick, you can't pretend anymore cause you can see it in their eyes, the fear, the pity.
Susan: (with sad voice) Is that all you see in our eyes?
Lynette: (looks at them in the eye) No, of course not
Bree continued with the lie of her pregnancy, so desperate to start afresh of Danielle's mishap, even Orson and Andrew were ready to give up with this scheme, but Bree was adement to continue with this charade.
Perhaps the funniest scene of the premiere was Bree getting a fork stabbed into her belly, without her realising, Orson then dropped some sauce on her which to an old Ida Greenburg watching look like Bree had gotten stabbed. To cover it up Bree insisted it was a joke her and Orson were playing on poor old Ida Greenburg and to prove it, Orson continued poking Bree's belly insiting it was Halloween toy of such! Hilarious seeing Bree and Orson "stabbing" each other just to cover up her pregnancy so no one would suspect that's a fake belly.
Episode Quotes:(Orson and Bree are shopping.) Bree: The nice thing about this fake pregnancy is that my feet don't swell. And I really wouldn't be able to squeeze into the sling-backs if I really was eight and a half months pregnant.
Mrs. McKeever: Bree! Don't you look radiant.
Bree: Oh! Hello, Mrs. McKeever.
Mrs. McKeever: Well, I heard that you were expecting, but I had no idea how far along you were. May I?
(Mrs. McKeever reaches to touch Bree's stomach. Bree backs away quickly.)
Bree: Oh! There's no need. The baby's just not kicking right now.
Mrs. McKeever: Ah, but sometimes, if you give them a little jiggle, you can get them to move.
(She reaches for Bree's stomach again. Bree pulls back.) Bree: Oh!!
Orson: Oh, she doesn't really want to be jiggled right now. She's very sensitive down there.
Mrs. McKeever: But I'll be gentle. You know, in my day mothers thought that it was good luck.
(She reaches for Bree's stomach again. Bree grabs her wrist.) Bree: Perhaps I need to make my point a little more clearly!
Mrs. McKeever: Bree. You're hurting me.
Bree: I'll do worse than that if you don't stop right now!
(Store manager walks up.)
Manager: Excuse me. Is there a problem here?
Bree: No. Not at all. I'm just saying hello to a very dear friend of mine.
(Manager walks away. Bree grips Mrs. McKeever's hand tightly again.)
Bree: Are you gonna back off now?
(Mrs. McKeever nods very frightened. Orson pulls Bree's hand off Mrs. McKeever.)
Orson: Car's here, dear. Lovely to see you, Mrs. McKeever.
(Orson escorts Bree away.)
Orson: Do you have to make it so obvious that you fancy her?!
Bree: Why must old ladies always do that?
Orson: I don't know, but you've got to stop roughing them up!
Something doesn't equal with this women or her family...So Wisteria Lane also was greeted with some old faces, in the form on new neighbours. After a 12 year abscene from Wisteria Lane, the Mayfair family return once again to move into Mike's old house to look after thier aunt, Mrs. Simm. However there's something not right with this family, and for starters, I just don't like Katherine Mayfair.
Something doesn't add up with her. Within the first episode, she already started a silent war with Bree, and she's a very odd person. We also know this family has some deep dark secret as well!
Her daughter who is Julie's age, they grew up together on Wisteria Lane and, according to Mrs. McCluskey apparently dissapeard without a trace quickly one night, 12 years ago. The daughter however doesn't seem to be having any memories of Wisteria Lane and is sort of like a stranger. Added she confided in Julie dreams of abduction.
No memories of her past and wierd dreams... Pyscho kid!Wierd that she holds no memories about Wisteria Lane? Well then an again do you remember when you were four?
There's also this attic room that Katherine and her husband are very secretive about, and apparently something happened there...
Of all the mysteries, this Mystery Piolt episode was the most ambigious, however we'll have to keep watching and see where exactly this mystery leads us.
In other Wisteria Lane news...
Gabby's met her match... and suicide can't even stop her!Gabrielle Marquez Solis-Lang decided to run away on her wedding day with Carlos to ride into the Sunset and live happily ever after. However her plans failed when Carlos was forced to remain by Edie's side after her suicide, pushing Gabrielle to being with Victor for a little while longer.
Episode Quote:
Carlos: So I managed to get away from Edie, What do you want?
Gabrielle: To get you away from Edie.
(She walks toward him and they kiss so passionately.) After a while Gabrielle landed back into Carlos' arms as the two endulge in an affair together- doesn't it remind you of the Season 1 days when Gabby used to secretly see John?
It's not mid-life for Susan, it's a some new life! She's pregnant!And while Bree's hiding fake pregnancy, Susan on the other hand is on the road to fufillment and happiness with Mike when she found out she's pregnant - although Susan initally didn't want a child.
At first thinking something's wrong, Susan goes to see her Doctor- whose not in town, but there's a new doctor who turns out to be Katherine Mayfair's husband. At first things are a bit uncomfortable. He then later tells Susan that she's reached Menopause- which Susan finds discomforting and horrifying. It's actually rather hilarious, because she goes into extreme overdramatic mode. The most hilarious part is the the scene when Ida and the old folk keep a place for Susan at the old people's table.
Episode Quotes:Susan: Listen, my last egg could be on its way down the chute at this very moment. If you wanna have kids, you might wanna jump on it, right now!
Susan: I don't need any test. I am not old enough for menopause. Now, I don't know what kind of nonsense they taught you at... (checks his diploma to see where he went to school)... Harvard Medical School... (checks his diploma again to see what year he graduated)... class of 97?!?! Oh my God, I am old! Just give me the damn test!
Susan: Okay, before we go any further, can I check those diplomas cause I would just like to make sure they're not from some Med school in the Philippines.
Well turns out his diagnosis was wrong, and he comes to Susan and tells her that she indeed is pregnant, not going through menopause. So this season is the season of Pregnancies, last was the season of Marriages. Let's hope Gabby doesn't pop something out her oven soon!
Edie isn't dead, although I believe the scene in which Katherine Mayfair was making her big dramatic debut onto the street,
Susan: I wish Edie were here. Without her there's no one to give us the dish.
Bree: Yet another illustration of the fundamental selfishness of suicide.
which suggested Edie was dead. However she wasn't.
Edie seems to be more into Carlos than ever and some how discovered his secret accounts and the millons he has stashed away. Could she use this as blackmail for him to stay with her?
So now we know...Susan's pregnant... and not going through menopause
Gabby love Carlos.... but still married to Victor
Edie's alive and locking her claws into Carlos... who loves Gabby
Lynette has cancer... and everybody knows
Bree's pregnancy's a haux... and nobody knows
The new neigbours are wierd.... and they have a secret or three!
