Desperate Housewives Episode 6.02 Being Alive

We're totally caught up in Wisteria Lane 's biggest mystery yet: Who strangled Julie Mayer? Fortunately, she's not dead (We thought she was a goner. Whew!) but she is unconscious and unable to identify her attacker.

We're not at all surprised when suspicion immediately turns to Danny Bolen, the new kid in town, who was seen loudly arguing with Julie. He told his parents he was "out drinking" the night before and that his memory is "fuzzy." Angie persuades Ana, who's crushing hard on Danny, to lie that the two snuck out and got drunk together. Gabrielle forces Ana to tell the truth to the cops, who immediately take Danny into custody. We're sure this isn't the Bolens' first brush with the law when Angie advises Danny before the police swoop in, "How does a fish get caught?" and he replies, "By opening his mouth."

Lynette blurts out the next shocker: Julie's pregnant! Or might be. Lynette hasn't told anyone about her own pregnancy, not even her kids (she writes off her early morning sickness to bad clams), but when Julie found her crying in her yard, the two confided in each other, as Lynette now does to Susan.

We know Katherine's crazy, but is she crazy enough to attempt murder? We wonder when she finds Mike alone and tells him, "I'm here for you. Anytime." We're further disturbed when she tells Orson the marriage won't last. "Mike doesn't really love Susan. He just feel sorry for her. He'll be back."

Then again, we never thought we'd see the day when Bree and Karl would be shagging Karl on the sly! And loving it! Karl rushes from his tryst with Bree to Julie's bed at the hospital. They agree to cool the affair, given the circumstances, but immediately begin kissing, just as Julie opens her eyes! "Dad?" she asks and then is out again. We're encouraged that Julie's still got her wits about her, but we have to laugh at Bree and Karl's bad timing!

Hoping to sound Susan out about Karl, Bree points out how she and Katherine made up, despite both loving Mike. We wince when Susan's response is, "Rule number one of the female code: Never sleep with your friend's ex-husband." Bree jokes that it would be better if it were Karl and our heart sinks for her when Susan says that would be even worse, because if a friend knew how badly Karl hurt her and slept with him anyway, "I would never talk to her again."
