Desperate Housewives Episode Six, “Running To Stand Still,” could have a surrogate title: “Bree Van de Kamp and the Sex Surrogate.” In this hallmark episode, Rex tries to convey the root of his marital issues and pins it all on Bree’s sexuality. Not to be outdone, Bree confronts him in his shabby hotel room but is unable to relinquish all elements of her Bree-ness. The episode also gives us Bree’s famous pro-sex monologue.

Lynette volunteers in her sons’ school production of “Little Red Riding Hood.” This storyline introduces us to the key guest character of Maisy Gibbons (Sharon Lawrence) whose conservative views on the children’s fairy tale clashes with Lynette’s anti-censorship stance. We also see the introduction of Lynette the drug addict.

Gabby gambles with Mama Solis and potentially wins big, and Susan is saddled with carrying the Young family storyline forward.

Joey and Clarence find “Running To Stand Still” a compelling episode full of iconic Desperate Housewives moments. Join them as they break it down on this week’s podcast! We will be back on our regular Monday schedule next week.

If you’ve never seen Desperate Housewives, then now is a great time to start. The series is available to stream on Hulu / Disney+. Catch up with our podcasts here!
