On tonight’s episode of Desperate Housewives, there’s cheating, lying, infidelity, and a kid getting kicked off a Thanksgiving pageant for swearing. So yes, it’s just like any episode on Desperate Housewives.

On the episode, Lynette (Felicity Huffman) discovers that her husband Tom may be growing backwards, as he has been cheating on his tests and wanting to lead the life of a frat-boy. Meanwhile, the Bolens saga continues, and the latest revelation is Angie (Drea de Mateo) trying to hide the truth about her mother, raising suspicion yet again. Elsewhere on “Don’t Walk on the Grass” Gaby (Eva Longoria-Parker) is upset when Juanita is kicked out of the Thanksgiving pageant for swearing. Only, she makes matters worse because she getting involved leads to expulsion. Finally, Orson (Kyle MacLachlan) is inadvertently pushing Bree (Marcia Cross) further to Karl’s arms.
