"Welcome to Kanagawa"
"Once the tornado had passed it began"
I just knew that when all of Lynette's kids
and Tom came out of the rubble, Ida wouldn't make it. I was actually surprised at how quickly that storyline was resolved, thinking we'd have to wait until at least halfway through the episode to find out if they were OK. Another surprise? Ida was a pro baseball player! Cue up
A League of Their Own - I'm suddenly picturing Ida as a Georgia Peach.
But back to the reality of Wisteria Lane, Ida didn't just fall victim to the storm, she saved everyone else before leaving them behind. My mind would have been spinning just as much as Lynette's was at that moment. Plus, Ida's niece and nephew were a nightmare, but thanks to Lynette's quick thinking, some of her dignity could be salvaged. Even better was Lynette being chased while scattering Ida's ashes after they were discovered breaking into the baseball field.
Meanwhile, Sylvia died, too, but we pretty much knew that after seeing her sucked out of Bree's house during the twister. "The fact that she is dead does not change the fact that you slept with her." Katherine was clearly not moving on. And just like that, Adam was thrown out of the house. But what was that note Adam found under the bed? Seems as though Katherine has topped him in the betrayal department after all. I did think, however, that it was a little ridiculous that Dylan was able to still read what the note said the morning after, but can we really blame anyone? It's Wisteria Lane.
Of course Bree ("I'm sleeping under a poster of Orlando Bloom!") transformed Susan's home into her own or a version of it. And she just decided to host a dinner party at Susan's house? A little intrusive, if you ask me, but allowed for Susan and Julie to giggle like children with their dinner trays upstairs. But even more ridiculous I can't believe she and Orson called Andrew to come over so Walter would reconsider contracting her house! "You're pimping me out for a new roof?" Well done, Andrew. Make a deal with Mommy. Too bad the only one who won was Susan.
But my favorite Housewife of the night was Gabby. "Oh, no, no, I'm a mess you know, on the inside, where the mascara can't run." Typical Gabby. Not surprising that she's not getting a dime out of Victor's will. And just like that, the "cheating, lying whore" walked out of her own husband's funeral with everyone's mouths wide open. But she seemed to find her strength back with that pain button while telling Carlos about the nonexistent papers she was supposed to guard with her life. To make things even more difficult, Al - the only man with any possible power of finding Carlos' money - died as well. And just to put the cherry on top of this messy Gabby sundae, the garage door opened just as she was digging through Al's files in the garage while his coffin was being taken outside. Things couldn't get any worse, right? Well, Carlos is blind, Gabby doesn't know and all is exactly as it should be now that the storm has settled. Bree's cleaning, Susan's reaching out for help, Lynette's putting others first and Gabby has a giant dilemma. There's a lot of cleaning up to do....
So what did you think of the tornado's aftermath? Spill it here. -
