I'm Still Here
Season 7 | Episode 13 | Aired 01/16/11

Lynette’s mom, Stella (guest star Polly Bergen), comes to town with news that she’s getting married. Her fiancé Frank (guest star Larry Hagman) is a total tool. The guy’s rude, crude and obnoxious. He’s also loaded, which is the only reason Stella is marrying the jerk. Judging by the actor who plays Frank, we’re thinking the guy may have made his money in the oil industry.

Tom convinces Lynette to suck it up and support her mom on her wedding day. But as she’s pushing the wheelchair-bound bride-to-be down the aisle, Lynette rolls her mom right out the door. Stella tells her daughter that she’s not really marrying Frank for his money. She’s with the guy because he needs her and that makes her feel good inside. With that, Lynette wheels her mom back into the church. Who knows? Frank has a bad ticker. Maybe he’ll keel over during the honeymoon.

Susan tries to become dialysis buddies with a man named Dick, whose bad attitude fits nicely with his name. He’s a mean old man who rejects Susan’s multiple attempts to be friendly. See, Dick’s been doing the dialysis thing for years. He has no room in his life for optimism.

Susan realizes Dick actually does have hope when there’s chance he’s being contacted for a new kidney. But alas, the call is for someone else. Susan can see the guy is crushed. She grabs a seat next to him and takes hold of his hand. Dick takes her hand, too. After all, you can never have too many dialysis buddies.

  • Wow! It's been a busy couple of weeks on Wisteria Lane. I'm not sure if you saw it on the news but there was a riot when Paul Young tried to open his halfway house! Susan Mayer got trampled and lost a kidney. Thankfully, she's got a wonderful family to rally around her. Julie, her Aunt Claire, and her mom, Sophie, all showed up for support. Sophie is quite a handful. I was sad to learn that she has cancer. Susan's life sure has been difficult since she left the lane. I hope that she'll eventually get back there. In the meantime, I'd just be happy if she could find a kidney.  Did you hear about Lynette Scavo? She discovered that her husband Tom and Rene Perry had an affair back in the day. Instead of confronting Tom, she decided torture him. Sure, it was a little immature…but can you really blame her? Do you think she's ever going to get over the fact that Rene slept with Tom? I sure hope so…for everyone's sake.  It looks like Bree Van De Kamp is finally settling down with Keith. Good for her! She needs to get back to a stable relationship. Let's hope this one lasts!  And…what about Gabrielle Solis? Ever since she lost Grace and almost lost Juanita she's been acting a little strange. This doll thing is getting out of hand. It's totally creepy, right?  Speaking of creepy…what's going on with Beth Young? It's too bad that Bree's attempt to be a Good Samaritan backfired and things went south between Beth and the women. And…what about that gun? And…ZACH IS BACK! What is up with that???  I can't wait for Sunday, January 16th at 9|8c to find out!
