I, too, at the moment when he poured into the pipe, thought that it was very convenient, because he is a plumber) And, they say, it would be necessary to turn on the water, dissolve

@id199766132: Gabi has absolutely no dynamics, personal growth of the character. The phrase "well, you were on the road" justifies his behavior for the umpteenth time (both to Victor and to Carlos). There are moments in past episodes where she understood her guilt and moved away a little from being fixated on her own person, but this is so little in the flow of her tantrums, whims and rash actions

she said this phrase to justify herself to him, because she is clearly afraid of him and does not know what he will do to her.Gabi can't just say to Victor: well, yes, I overheard you and your father at the wedding and realized that you are two old asses, and that you, like Carlos, will lock me in a golden cage, so for now.

He is a good character, yes, in some ways imperfect, but he has repeatedly shown that he wants to put his life and Gabi above his work, and in general he is ready to try. So I hope that the storyline will not lead him to a tragic ending and he will find his happiness with another woman

and Lynette herself categorically did not want her mother to stay with her when she first arrived.

Lynette: she went to work, was a valuable specialist, helped her husband open a restaurant, was able to accept his illegitimate daughter, tried to get along with her mother, with whom she had a bad relationship, was treated for cancer without whining and complaints, defeated cancer.
Bree: she learns to feel and express her feelings, ceases to be an ideal mannequin, becomes more human, accepted the peculiarities of her son, was able to overcome alcohol addiction.
Suzy: continues to jump with monkey antics and impose on everyone around. Will you marry me??? Getting married?? When will you propose?!
Gabi: continues to be a narcissistic egoist, fixated on clothes. Continues to cheat, now to another husband. The only excuse: well, you weren't there!!! How happy she was when her husband's mother died, who found out about her affairs, and now she calmly killed a man without shedding a tear.

@ilo_o: They wrote so well about Lynette, every time I'm blown away by the realization of what a strong woman she is, she's been through so much and she still has human compassion, the ability to forgive, the ability to accept.
About Susan, well, yes, she's overly emotional, but she's pregnant and her husband is a drug addict, and her husband's father is a murderer.… So while the tongue does not turn to blame her for something, imagining himself in her place.
Well, Gabi is a big fat plus, I don't understand how everyone admires her. I've never met such a corrupt and egocentric character before.

Lynette's insecure sister really impresses me outwardly!
The fact that absolutely no one wants to get along with her mother is quite understandable. She spoils their lives, despite the fact that she is their mother... I perfectly understand how terrible it is to live in the same apartment with a man who constantly nagges and tells you what you should fix in your appearance!
And Lynette herself wanted to get rid of her mother. In general, it would be really logical to chip in to her house and settle her somewhere, even if not quite cozy..

There are many questions about this series. Let's say Gaby managed to control the boat (it's not that difficult). But to dock such a huge ship? Wouldn't anyone suspect his wife of murder? There were no cameras, no one on the dock to see them? She and Carlos don't have alibis either. Gaby's fingerprints on the yacht are still OK, he's the wife, but Carlos? He's on trial, so he's in the database. Fighting is not normal with this cutting off, engaging in self-mutilation when the husband is against and with arguments ... tin, of course.

Bree's act of circumcising a child is simply disgusting! At first, ignoring her husband's (and well-reasoned) opinion, she quietly went to have a circumcision at the clinic, it didn't work there, she ran to find out how it was, well, you bastard, Orsen, that you forbade me to do what you don't support in a rat. But no, it's not enough for her, she needs to bring her only right decision to the end. Therefore, the best thing to do is circumcision at someone else's event, people of a different (for a moment) faith, come home and put her husband in front of the fact, and then smooth everything out with tearful manipulation about love / blood. You don't give a damn about your partner and the things that are important to him!
I understand that this is generally within the norm for Bree's character, but I'm outraged that it rolled without any consequences.

Briefly about circumcision.
There was a case when circumcision went wrong and the boy's penis was damaged. His parents, along with a research doctor, decided to raise him as a girl. But the genes took their toll. The boy did not feel like a girl and behaved like a boy. He tried to commit suicide several times. Later, he found out the truth and began to live like a man. However, because of everything that happened, he never recovered. At the age of 38, he was gone.

There are enough cases of penis injury during circumcision. The best option is not to touch anything and teach the boys hygiene. In adulthood, let them decide for themselves whether to cut or not. It should be the same with religion.

If a person grew up in an environment where they ate with newspapers and wiped themselves with newspapers, washed down vodka with beer... no comfortable environment will fix this.

Somehow, after this episode, there is no desire to continue watching.
I love both the characters Bree and Lynette.
But the fact that Gaby's slut behavior is presented as the norm is too much. And in this episode, she just killed a man. Whom she brought to the handle. He just wanted to talk to her and go meet her. She threw him overboard, left him there, and then sailed there with the man she was cheating on him with.
Susan also freezes out every episode with her inappropriate actions. And she doesn't seem to be going to get any better.
