Desperate Housewives Season 3 Episode 03:
"A Weekend In The Country"
"A Weekend In The Country"
The housewives are on holiday this week! Bree is off to Bermuda on her honeymoon with Orson. Lynette and Gaby are off at a spa vacation somewhere awesome. And Susan is spending some time with Ian at his getaway house in the country. Everything is going along swimmingly until, of course, interruptions occur.
While waiting for Orson to get his latte, Bree spies a familiar face on a TV special about homeless children - none other than Andrew! He looks battered! When Orson returns, Bree dashes his honeymoon dreams by ending it before they even left the terminal lol. She tries to find Andrew and finally manages to locate him but he runs away from her, saying that he's not her son anymore - he's somebody else now. Bree is distraught and Orson is concerned and worried about her. So he takes it upon himself to look up Andrew. He finds him on the streets and cinches a meeting with the teen by offering him money and lunch. Andrew soon realises, however, that this is his mom's new man. As he had informed Bree earlier, he found out about her marriage via the newspaper. Orson explains that he cares about Andrew because Bree cares about Andrew. And the rage? He knows a thing or two about that and his advice is to let it go. How long does Andrew want to keep punishing Bree? Till he's infected and drug-addicted on the streets? He advises Andrew to come home. Hmm... I have to say, Orson seems to genuinely care for Bree. Doesn't appear to have any ulterior motives so far... I guess Mike is the only clue to his past.
Moving on to the other girls, Susan and Ian accidentally unpack the other's bags and are both equally wide-eyed to discover that (a) Ian's got plenty of condoms and (b) Susan's brought along a sexy little satin slip. With that awkward discovery, both realise that the other is interested in a little intimacy. They get cozy by the fireplace when the conversation turns to Ian having had Jane as his one and only lover, ergo making Susan his potential 2nd. Susan says it's nothing to be nervous about; some have plenty of lovers, some don't, no big deal. Seeing as she had expressed her views in such a way, a curious Ian enquired not so discreetly about her past lovers. And messes things up even further when he asks her her age! Susan stomped off to bed in a huff. Ian comes up to apologize and they make up. But just as they start warming up to each other, Ian makes a blunder by telling a touchy Susan that he's as capable of having meaningless sex as she was! Tact out out the window *tsk*tsk* So again, she humphs and shoos him out of the room. Later, she hears the strains of a melody Ian is playing on the piano. She comes down and sits next to him on the bench. As he motions to apologize, she shushes him and motions for him to continue playing the melody. And this leads to a kiss and towards the end of the ep, we realise they had been intimate.
Lynette is enjoying a promising start to a promising weekend away when Tom calls up Gaby's cellphone, much to Lynette's chagrin, and pleads with her to come pick him and the kids up from their campsite - he'd thrown out his back again. Lynette finally decides to go, albeit resentfully. As she loads up the car, guess who shows up wanting a free ride? Yup, Nora! When Lynette tries to convince her that the both of them going would be pointless, Nora insists that she isn't going to look like the uncaring mom as Supermom-Lynette zooms to the rescue. Nora drives Lynette crazy in the car as she messes it up, scares Lynette with a grab of the steering wheel and then proceeding to insist that Lynette pull over so she can hitch-hike when Lynette makes a not-so-nice comment about her. Things are back at square one, however, as Lynette spies Nora sitting by the side of the road and is forced to get her back in the car. The two women have a mini-makeup session and Nora bemoans the fact that Lynette is Supermom and she's...not. When the topic turns to Tom, Lynette is obviously surprised to discover that Tom has mentioned to Nora, and not her, that he hates advertising. Nora rather astutely remarks that perhaps he was too scared to tell her because she'd been after him to get a job and that she was the sort of person who would let someone kill themselves. Picking the boys up, Lynette tries to be more approachable, encouraging Tom to open up to her. She says that if he's finding it difficult to get a job in the ad game, why not try a hand at something else he's always wanted to do? Whyyy do I get the feeling he wants to be a fricking clown or something?=p
With Lynette gone, Gaby is left alone with a day left to their little weekend away. A lonely glammed-up Gaby bumps into a familiar face - John the gardener! He's all dressed up, mature and successful now. Gaby comes on to him and they end up in bed together. She is enjoying 'Rich John' when suddenly Rich John gets a call on his cell. It's his fiancee, the daughter of the owner of the hotel! Gaby has to get out of there because if his fiancee sees her, he'll be screwed! She huffs but complies. His fiancee enters and there are nervous moments when she explores the hotel room. Finally, he manages to cart out the luggage (with Gaby in it!) under the guise of getting the 'stuck zipper' fixed. As the lift doors are about to close, however, his fiancee comes after him, enquiring suspiciously about a gold watch she discovered in the hotel room. He lies and says that that's what she gets for surprising him - he wasn't able to wrap his gift in time! She is thrilled and drags him with her. The lift doors close leaving Gaby-in-a-luggage-bag alone! Until... a couple enters the lift! Hehe, it was so funny, their incredulous expressions, as they listened to the luggage 'talk'. And even more eyebrow-raising was when Gaby poked her fingers through the zipper and managed ot unzip the bag and get herself out. She tries to maintain a semblance of dignity and leaves with a parting punchline that she had saved herself a bundle on airfare. Priceless XD
Sparks are a-sparking between Julie and Austin! As she blows a fuse courtesy of her high-powered science project, he comes to help her figure out how to get the lights back on. I bet that little closet felt a thousand degrees hotter as Austin trapped you between his body and the fusebox, eh Julie?;) Edie shows up, looking for the CD player she lent Susan before their falling out, and it's kinda hard to ignore the sparks between Julie and Austin, especially for an experienced good-girl-gone-bad like Edie. She imparts some wisdom: stay away from her nephew. She recognises Julie's defiant denial of any attraction as the words of a good girl before she turns bad. At the hospital, Edie is in Mike's room, picking up the CD player Julie had mentioned was there. She makes small talk with the still-comatose Mike and in a total Edie moment, steals a peek at Mike's crown jewels! Lol... Climax was when she turned around towards Mike as she was leaving the room and guess what... Mike's eyes are open and he's blinking. *shock all around*
