Desperate Housewives: Season 4

Finally it's back! I very much liked tonight's episode too. Without a doubt I see Felicity Huffman being nominated for an Emmy for what her role will bring to the show this season.

I'm already wondering what is up with the new teenaged girl. Maybe their "real daughter" was murdered as a child and then they adopted some other little girl to replace her, and that's why she doesn't remember playing with Julie when she was little? Either that, or it's some weird repressed memory situation. Who could the man in her room have been? Paul Young? Maybe she is the long lost twin sister of Zack Young (which would make Mike Delfino her biological father).

C'mon you GC'ers...I know that we can figure this plot out!!

I was thinking that maybe the little girl had died in some tragic accident. And the mom, being a perfectionist like Bree, felt it would reflect badly on her parenting if people knew. So they moved away from Wisteria Lane very suddenly. Then, they found a little girl that looked like their daughter and kidnapped her. And that's where the teenage girls nightmares about a man being in the room and grabbing her come from.

I'm guessing the girl might have been raped by her real dad when she was young in that room that the mom was showing to the step dad. The memories were probably too tragic for her so she start blocking her memories. That, or she must have lost her memory at some point

Yeah, I think the girl isn't the biological daughter of Dana Delaney (I don't remember her character's name), and that's why Julie said to Susan (paraphrasing), "The girl I was best friends with all those years ago... this isn't the same girl." I think Julie literally meant that, and not just that her friend was acting differently than she used to. Not sure what to think about why the family left so suddenly... especially with no mention of what happened Dana's first husband (divorce? accident? psycho-wife-related homicide?).

Oooooh....good one. That sounds totally plausible, for Desperate Housewives.

Whatever happened with Mrs. McClusky and her dead husband being in the deep freezer? Nothing?

We already know something traumatic happened to her. When she was speaking with Julie, she mentioned her earliest memory. It also happened in "that room".

What makes me most curious is the reason why they moved back. "We had to".

Lots of questions. Kind of reminds me of the season with the Applewhites.

LeslieAGD · #8 10-02-2007, 08:19 PM

I hope this family is less obnoxious than the Applewhites.

I was also thinking that the "real daughter" died and was "replaced" (or that the "current one" was kidnapped.)

Benzgirl · #9 10-02-2007, 08:45 PM

This could be something similar to the General Hospital storyline from the late 70s where Leslie took the rap for Laura killing David (?) Hamilton. Laura "blacked out" the incident, married Scotty, had an affair with Luke, ran away....

I think this is probably the same girl, just lost her memory (almost said mind) due to something traumatic that happened in "the room"

I don't get the deal with the new family?

If the real child actually died and she was replaced with a lookalike that was kidnapped, you would think the family would stay away, so that no one would know.

The mom (dont remember her name) said the family "didn't have a choice" on moving back???

And WHY is Edie (sp?) all crazy???!!!!

Edie has always been crazy. She just never had her claws in anyone else long enough

Plus, her craziness now stems from something SHE wants (other than revenge), so she's fighting harder and less-fairly than she has in the past. She wants Carlos because she wants Carlos. When she wanted Mike, it was because Susan also wanted him. When she wanted Susan's ex-husband, it was because Susan didn't want her to have him. When she solicited Lynette's, Bree's and Susan's friendship (at her son's birthday party), it was because Gabby didn't want her to have it. She's always been fighting against other women; now she's fighting for herself. And that brings out a whole new messa crazy.

Of course, it might be that she wants Carlos because Carlos doesn't want her. But even then, she's fighting against a man which is totally different from the cattiness she usually gravitates towards.

I might be off on the timeline, but is there a chance that Susan could be pregnant with Ian's baby? I just don't remember how much time has elapsed from Ian leaving and the start of the new season.

She not only wants Carlos for Carlos, but she wants the money in the off shore account!

True. But I think she entered the Land of Crazy before she ever found out about the $$$. That's just fuel to the fire.
