Would You Like Some More Mashed Potatoes?

Could that question be any creepier?

This week on Desperate Housewives, from Television Without Pity:

So, it turns out that Perfect PTA Mom Maisy Gibbons (Sharon Lawrence) turns ricks when her kids are at school. And one of her johns is Rex, who is into some S&M stuff that he's scared to ask KimberBree to try. Maisy suggests that he be honest with KimberBree, but he never gets a chance: he has a heart attack while Maisy's working him over. This, of course, means that KimberBree finds out Rex has been stepping out on her, but she waits until he gets out of surgery to tell him that she's getting the most vindictive divorce lawyer she can find and she's going to take him for everything he's got. She rules. In other stories, Lynette has issues with how competent Claire the Nanny is -- like, what do you WANT, Lynette? Either you have a great nanny and get back to good mental health and maybe go back to work part-time, or you don't have a nanny and you go out of your mind. Make your choice. Carlos is still in jail, and asks Gabrielle to burn some incriminating documents for him and to bring him his passport so he can get out of the joint. Instead, a suspicious Gabrielle keeps the papers and burns the passport. She's beginning to suspect that, like Britney Spears, Carlos is not that innocent. Susan finds out that Julie's been harboring Zack, and orders Zack back to his father's house. Paul then proceeds as normal -- in other words, he acts all squirrelly and potentially abusive, but mostly just creepy. Julie reads Susan the riot act for acting more like a child than a parent, in a scene that's remarkably thoughtful for this show. And, finally, Edie begins to wonder what happened to Mrs. Kravitz and calls in the cops. Also: y'all know that James Denton doesn't really do it for me, but he was really charming in this episode.
