Last we saw Desperate Houswives, Lynette had a horrifying first date with Frank.

Believe it or not, she managed to have a second date with him.   She invites him home for dessert not realizing that’s actually date-speak for sex.   While Lynette lures Frank up to her bedroom at the start of their next date, nothing happened.  Lynette started crying right in the middle of things after realizing her marriage is really over.

Lynette tells Renee that Frank was very understanding. He said all the right things before he left, but she doubts she’ll ever see him again.  Frank shows up with a pizza, saying the pop-in date takes away the pressure that goes with formal plans. He’s also willing to take things slow. Lynette has other ideas. Dessert first -pizza second.

Juanita is bummed when she doesn’t get a Valentine’s card from a boy she likes, so Gaby creates a fake one from him. This inspires Juanita to plant an unwanted kiss on her clueless sweetheart. A short time later, Gaby is called to the principal’s office to be lectured on the school’s zero-tolerance policy for sexual harassment.

Gaby fesses up about the fake Valentine. Juanita is understandably upset because she thinks her mom always lies to her. A prime example of this is the fact that she doesn’t even know where her father is. Gaby realizes that Juanita isn’t a little girl  anymore and she takes her  to visit her dad at the rehab facility.

Meanwhile Julie is back!   Susan’s long list of mother-daughter activities for the two of them gets ditched the moment she sees that Julie is six months pregnant. The baby’s father is a non-factor. That’s just one of the reasons Julie has decided to give the baby up for adoption. The prospective new parents want to meet her mom to learn more about her background. Susan agrees to the meeting even though Julie’s decision is breaking her heart.

The parents who want to raise Julie’s baby are perfect. Susan is incredibly supportive until Julie is out of earshot. Then she starts telling tales of how her daughter has a history of mental illness to go along with all the times she was in jail. Susan blames herself partially since she liked to drink lots of wine while she was pregnant. This onslaught of bogus info sends the prospective parents heading for the hills.

Julie is furious. She goes on a nasty rant as to how much of her childhood was spent taking care of her mom. Susan is devastated. Mike makes Julie realize that everything she ever did was done for love. Mother and daughter have a heart-to-heart, but Julie still wants to stick with her decision to give up her baby….girl.

Bree is still drinking up a storm and bringing home a different guy every night.  She’s had sex with so many men that she doesn’t even recognize a guy she’d already slept with. That doesn’t stop her from taking him home again. A mystery figure is still spying on her from the inside of a car as she continues her downward spiral.

When Susan, Lynette and Gaby learn that Bree is drinking again, they stage an intervention. It doesn’t go well. Bree confesses that she wanted to kill herself and her “friends” are partly to blame. They abandoned her the moment things got rough. Lynette, Susan and Gaby promise they are there for her now, but Bree isn’t hearing any of it. Her friends are at a loss.

Bree hits the bar once again. She’s not interested when a slimy, vile guy tries to pick her up. But this particular gentleman caller won’t take no for an answer. He swipes Bree’s keys and tries to force her into his car. Things are looking bad until help arrives in the form of Orson, her former husband.

A jolt of electricity from Orson’s stun gun leaves the guy running.  Bree’s friends called Orson.  Bree and Orson will work together to “clean things up”.

Until next week.
