Lightbulb Episode 26 "You'll Never Get Away From Me" 10/9/05

Not really going to transcribe since there isn't much to transcribe

We see:

John and Gabby back together(briefly), and then he runs over to some other girl
Rex is dug up
Something involving Lynette and her boss again(boss says "This isn't about your kids again, is it?")
The Susan/Karl/Edie thing... Susan "she's not family", Karl "one day she could be" scene at church with them
The "thing"(I presume) attacks Betty... we see her fall backwards from that door to the basement with a tray of food.

From ABC:

"You'll Never Get Away from Me" - Bree's mother-in-law, Phyllis (guest star Shirley Knight), gets her in trouble with the law, Susan tries bravely to accept Edie's new role in Julie's life, Lynette's demanding boss (guest star Joely Fisher) makes her miss Parker's first day of kindergarten, and Gabrielle and John meet again, on "Desperate Housewives," SUNDAY, OCTOBER 9 (9:00-10:01 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

Felicia Tillman is listed as a guest star...

This is very spoilerish, if anyone doesn't want the episode spoiled, then don't scroll down:

There's a little blurb in the new tvguide about this episode:

Mother-in-law jokes exist for a reason. Just ask Bree. But there's nothing funny about Rex's maddening mom(Shirley Knight), who's getting Bree into legal trouble. Meanwhile Susan tries to accept Edie's new role in Julie's life; Lynnette's boss from hell(Joely Fisher) makes her miss Parker's first day of kindergarten; and Gabrielle and John meet again. Look for Gabby to act like a grown-up. "We'll see definite growth in her character," says creator Marc Cherry. She'll start to realize the depth of her mistake with the affair." A pregnancy can do that to you.

Apparently... the suspicion will REALLY be on Bree, not George. Things don't go well at the lie detector test apparently.

and apparently John runs to some woman old enough to be his GRANDMOTHER. That boy...

So so episode once again it was on the verge of being good but not quite...

Not much of a guest spot for my beloved Felicia and it looks like she won't be around for a little while. Damn!

If you're asking yourself "how did George pass the lie detector test?" it's kind of ironic that I found this out recently but a teacher told us that if you clench your butt cheeks together you can confuse the polygraph thing. George must've known that...

Hopefully next week's episode is on par with the first season's greatness. So far season two (in my opinion) has been just so so....

So-so episode? The episode was AWESOME. I liked last week, while there was mixed responses here, but this episode was much much better.

I agree, I enjoyed this episode. I think it's my favorite of the 3 so far this season.

I came in with low expectations and thought it was great. Last week I had high expectations and was disappointed a bit.

The person in the basement really looks like someone of the son's age. Looked far too young to be a husband.

I didn't think that person looked to be the son's age at all.

I thought the episode was okay. I wanted to know more the guy in the Applewhite's basement. I guess it was her husband.

I like the interaction between Gabby and Carlos. For some reason, they should work it out and stay together. I hope that she's really over John.

I thought Parker was older. I didn't expect him to be in kindergarten. I can see the twins entering kindergarten but not Parker. Parker looks like he should be in 1st or 2nd grade.

Yep... that was my 2nd thought after the age.

I really think he looked young. Unless he was wearing a lot of makeup he didn't look to be 45-ish which would be the age of the husband.
