Last night’s Desperate Housewives was mediocre at best.

I’ve heard good things come to those who wait, but it seems like we’ve been waiting patiently for quite some time. While "The Lies Ill-Concealed" was necessary to set the stage for the four remaining episodes, it wasn’t a riveting installment by any means.

As I expected, it didn’t matter that Carlos forbade Gaby from being friends with Bree. However, I didn’t find their secret meetings funny at all. Actually, I thought the implications that they were kind of cheating were a little silly and ridiculous and even disrespectful to Carlos.

The only scene between both Gaby and Bree that made me giggle slightly was when Gaby was nearly busted by the pineapple upside down cake.

I felt like Gaby should have tried to understand Carlos’s frustration and maybe she could have even tried to side with her husband for two seconds before deciding to move in with Bree.

Who else thought that this was an awful decision by Gaby? Furthermore, I can’t help but wonder if Gaby’s choice in choosing Bree over Carlos will push Carlos to come forward with Bree’s secret about Andrew killing Carlos’s mother.

Not surprisingly, Lynette was struggling with being Tom’s plus-one at a work conference. From grudgingly attending a floral workshop to getting facials and massages at a spa, Lynette’s complaints were a bit annoying to me. Lately, it seems like she has trouble supporting Tom when he had no issues with supporting her career in the past.

Luckily, her crazy antics finally culminated with an embarrassing scene as she stole another woman’s clothes and lanyard, and was announced as the woman who was supposed to introduce the keynote speaker. In my opinion, Tom was rightfully upset.

By the way, Tom’s certainly had his feet wet with his new job in the past couple of weeks. Yet, how come we haven’t seen any backlash with his decision to leave Carlos’s company? Surely, Tom’s choice to leave would have affected his friendship with Carlos.

Meanwhile, Susan was being the overly caring person that she always is while trying to help Paul. And as always, Mike was there to catch her at the end even if they didn’t see eye to eye at first.

And how about those awful nightmares that Susan was having about Paul? Creepy. Weird. Almost scary. 

While Felicia now has Mrs. McCluskey on her side to bring down Paul, I realized that I am growing increasingly bored with this storyline. Paul appeared to be depressed this entire episode while Felicia’s plotting away his demise.

At this point, I’m a little confused as to which villain I should be rooting for…

All in all, this episode was slow for me, and I’m still hopeful for a drama-filled, OMG ending to this season. What did you think? Did this episode knock your socks off?

Mine were definitely still intact. Discuss!
