I just finished watching this week’s Desperate Housewives and since it seems to be popular with my extensive readership, I thought I’d ask y’all…where does everyone live in relation to each other?

Last week it seemed clear that Bree and Lynette live directly across from each other. This week it seems that Mrs. McCluskey (aka Laningham) also lives across from Lynette. So I guess Mrs. McCluskey and Bree are next-door-neighbours.

Mrs. Huber, I think, used to live two doors down from Bree. It seems that her house is right next door to Paul and Zach Young (as Mrs. Huber’s sister often runs into Zach in her driveway). So I guess the Youngs live on the other side of Bree? But that would put the Youngs between Bree and Mrs. Huber, and I thought that Mike Delfino, when he first met Susan at Mary Alice’s funeral, said that *he* lived right next door to the Youngs. Hm.

In the very first episode, Susan seemed to live directly across the street from the Youngs. I think Edie lives on the same side of the street as Susan, but a few doors down — possibly directly across from Mike. Are Susan and Lynette next-door-neighbours?

Where is Gabrielle’s house? It seems she lives a little ways down the street from Bree (at least), and directly next door is a nameless family with the little girl who blackmailed her. And do John and his parents live on the street as well?

I feel like it’s one of those big grid problems where they give you clues like “The person who lives in the blue house likes to ride bikes” and “The hang glider lives between the blue and green houses” and so on and you have to match everyone up!
