Desperate Housewives | S2 - US-Ausstrahlung
Gabrielle hat weiterhin nur Sorgen mit ihrem Mann im Knast doch sie konnte sich am Ende durchsetzen. Sie schlagen und sie lieben sich, was soll man da sagen.^^ Für die besonders witzigen Momente sorgt natürlich wieder Bree. Z.B. als sie bei der Trauerfeier zum offenen Sarg geht und die scheussliche Krawatte wechselt oder als sie der Mutter von Rex im Restaurant eine runterhaut damit sie aufhört zu flennen.
