Desperate Housewives 7.21 "Then I Really Got Scared" Review

Susan is suspected as poisoning Paul when he suffers chest pains. Gaby and Juanita watch scary movies and Juanita thinks someone's watching them, which Carlos and Gaby think are the result of the movies.

Mary Alice: (Brenda Strong) "Susan Delfino (Teri Hatcher)  was charitable to a fault...couldn't resist lending a hand...so when it came to a neighbour in need, she was only too eager to help."  The doctor tells Paul (Mark Moses) he's been poisoned and he tells Susan it's just stress.  There was anti-freeze in his oatmeal.   Would've killed him eventually.

Mary-Alice: "Susan Delfino was charitable to a fault and just couldn't resist lending a hand...which was about to cause her some trouble of her own."  Just goes to show all good deeds finally catch up to you in the end.   Perhaps that should be all deeds catch up.

Mary:Alice: "No matter how secure we are, we all experience moments of dread...hand over a note from our teacher...and sometimes we have no one to blame but ourselves."  Gaby (Eva Longoria) and Juanita (Madison De La Garza) watch horror movies and Carlos (Richardo Antonio Chavira) berates Gaby for showing her these since she's going to have nightmares now.  Tom (Doug Savant) arrives home for dinner and he's bought plane tickets to Hawaii, for their annual family vacation.   Lynette (Felicity Huffman) is angry since she's planed the camping trip and put a deposit on the RV, also she wants to visit her sister.   Lynette wants things her own way as per usual.

Susan has been e-mailing Principal Hobson (John Rubenstein) asking for her job back, but he refuses due to her Internet antics, which he saw.  He claims parents have all the power in private schools.   Bree (Marcia Cross) didn't lose Chuck Vance's (Jonathan Cake) card and he won't ask her for a second chance again.   The second times means courtship.   The third time he'll be considered a stalker.   Paul gets the food tested for anti-freeze.   Renee (Vanessa Williams) invites Bree to a jazz club but she's got a date.   Renee gives her advice on always running a background check before she dates anyone.

Lee (Kevin Rahm) asks why Gaby let Juanita watch horror movies, he used to have bad dreams too, but he outgrew them.   He tells Juanita about his brother's stories, which were real.   How they found missing children in a ravine.   He was just showing her that his stories are way scarier than Juanita's fears.   Susan volunteers to help out the school, she did things she's not proud of, nonetheless was a good teacher.   Renee gets back to Bree with the background check and tells her his salary alone makes Chuck undatable.   She needs to look at Page 3 of her file.   Bree asks about Chuck in their date.   He has two children and Bree judges him for still being married.   He admits his divorce isn't finalized yet.   Being a policeman he's done the same thing on Bree, so she shouldn't be surprised and mentions Orson, (Kyle MacLachlan) the hit and run driver; or the murdering pharmacist.  She's dangerous too with her array of guns.

Lynette is angry and Tom isn't in charge of this family, he suggests they let the children decide which trip is better, after their presentations.   Chuck picks up a prostitute to drive to the woman's shelter and Bree hates him and he tells her that Bree used to be on the streets before she started her catering business.   Paul's test shows the amount of anti-freeze wouldn't have killed him, unless it continued on a routine basis.

Gaby tents out with Juanita on the lawn to prove there's no scary man there; but doesn't she have a back garden.   That was camping out on the pavement (sidewalk) practically.  Gaby has to put it right and Carlos says it's fun to sleep outside.   Gaby: "that's why the homeless are so cheery."  Chuck wants to take Bree on an ordinary first date.   Felicia (Harriet Sansom Harris) turns up at Susan's like clockwork.   Susan thinks Paul should have more tests done, Felicia was a nurse, but still no one made a connection and what if someone else ate the food.  Felicia: Susan's "doing more for Paul than she could possibly know."   Tom and Lynette present their vacations.

Gaby tells Juanita there's no killer and takes charge of her fear.   A shadow appears on the tent of a man with an axe and Gaby didn't recognize Lee, or thought it would be him.   It's just a plastic axe.   The children choose Hawaii, but Lynette brings out the shark.   She wants to be in charge all the time and is a control freak who has to have the last word on everything.   Ten years ago she said when he makes money, then Tom can make the decisions, he makes more money than she ever did.   He comments she's turned into a "raging bitch."  Penny's (Darcy Rose Byrnes) upset, she doesn't want to choose which parent to live with.   Tom is frightened to open his mouth lest Lynette shout at him.   Lynette suggests they need a vacation, alone.

Susan takes cookies for Paul but the woman at school takes them instead and Susan's allowed to return to work at the school.   Paul points out Susan never eats with him and wants her to have some lasagne, she refuses and he thinks she should just stab him with a knife and end it all.   It wasn't her or Mike (James Denton) behind it and she recalls the cookies, but when she gets to the school, she finds all the cookies are mixed, shouting out her cookies "are poison!"

Mary Alice: "No matter how secure we are, we all experience dread...when we ask ourselves will anyone believe I'm innocent, will my daughter be a child of divorce; will this man break my heart.   Are there things that go bump in the night and sometimes the answer is 'yes.'"  That man has to be Gaby's step-dad cos he had to have been mentioned for a reason in the past episode since she hasn't put her nightmares to rest either concerning him.

Susan finally realizing about Felicia whilst she's too busy seeing the best in everyone.  A man is outside the tent and Gaby thinks it's Lee.   Getting a bit tedious seeing Lynette and Tom cover the same old ground like their marriage is just a competition to score points against each other.
