Desperate Housewives: The Miracle Song
(S03E10) A couple of weeks ago, a commenter suggested that maybe Art's half-naked pictures of the boys in his basement were pictures of the kids on his swim team. That is exactly the explanation his sister offered for them in this episode. Do you think that is accurate?He explained why the toys were missing from his basement last week by saying that he had donated them to charity, and that story checked out, but he could have decided to do that after Lynette found the pictures and basement. And why remove the pictures, if they are so innocent? On the one hand, his sister knew about the pictures; but ,had she actually seen them? Or did Art give her his version of what they were? After all, they were in the basement, his sister appears to be dependent on her wheelchair, and I didn't see a ramp to the basement. On the other hand, those kids in those pictures didn't look like they were proudly displaying their swimming accomplishments, nor did they appear to be in swimsuits or in a swim team scenario. And maybe I am just saying that because my son is on our local swim team.
This episode raises several compelling questions: Do parents have the upper ground? Is drawing conclusion justifiable with the excuse of better safe than sorry without further evidence, if it means a man is losing his job and being completely ostracized by his community? Does Art's as-good-as-confession change the fact that before that conversation, we didn't know for sure what was going on?
Edie did a pretty satisfying job of raking Mike over the coals about the toolbox. That was surprising, because I would have expected nothing less than total support and loyalty from Edie. Then, boom! Fair weather Edie. That was great. Wasn't that precious when Susan said, "You can't let your love for a man blind you to cold-hearted facts"? Hmmm.... does blood on a wrench that matches the victim's blood count as a cold-hearted fact, or is that some other kind of fact?
I apologize for my snide Republican comments last week; I should confine my remarks specifically to Bree, and not a group she happens to belong to. As it happens, perhaps they are not going to work Bree's pregnancy into the show. Mike's arrest turns out to be great news for Orson, doesn't it? Did Orson maybe run Mike over because he knew Mike was guilty? Whoa! Orson was hospitalized for depression. Interesting; I wonder what age that was? Did anybody see what year that was? It looked like his mother faked his being sent to boarding school when he was in the hospital instead. So, is that what she's holding over him? When it seems perfectly likely that she put him there? I am sure more will be revealed. It's so nice to see Orson's past finally come leaking through the cracks in his carefully laid foundation. I know this is immature, but I just want to say I told you Orson didn't kill his wife.
Do you think Ian is being unreasonable? Is he going to break up with his comatose wife? He is making some pretty hefty claims on Susan's attentions for a married guy. I can understand his jealousy, but I think that is going a little far. It doesn't matter; of course, Susan won't keep her promises. But that's okay! It keeps life interesting, doesn't it?
Speaking of interesting, there is a reason I haven't mentioned the Gaby storyline from this episode. Yawn. Manipulating pre-pubescent girls, while acting like one, is pretty pathetic. Eva Longoria is such a talented actress; raise your hand if you're hoping they will give her a more interesting storyline soon.
