Another Saturday, another Desperate Housewives recap. Eight episodes in eight weeks! ABC is just relentless. Isn’t there some kind of voodoo virgin candle I can light that brings on reruns?

Highlights from this week’s recap include:

“Cut to Gabby, her hair in a prim bun. She’s wearing a bib-apron over a matronly white shirt buttoned all the way up to heaven. On the “Methods of Birth Control and their Effectiveness” scale, I’d say this outfit falls somewhere between a diaphragm (with its 20% rate of pregnancy) and a condom (14%).”

“The little P squad rushes out to greet Lynette. “I can’t believe you got in a fight with a hobo,” the biggest P trills in an clumsy attempt to get the plot moving. The adults all exchange puzzled glances. Lynette, by way of explaining the lame attempt at an excuse: “Yeah, well let’s see how well you do on a morphine drip.” The last time I was on morphine, I sat all the way through Ice Bound (the made-for-television movie about the North Pole, which turned out to have nothing to do with penguins and everything to do with breast cancer), so I’m going to have to vote with Lynette on this one: morphine melts your mind.”

Also inside: references to both Tim Gunn and the Neverland Ranch, plus a shameless link back to this very site!
