Lovely (Desperate Housewives) Susan and Lynette segments, but said the introduction of Katherine's possible lesbianism was "intriguing for the moment". Gael Fashingbauer Cooper of "MSNBC" also criticized the episode for failing to advance the plot, and sarcastically wrote of the Katherine development, "Oh, because lesbian storylines have worked so well on this show in the past, except, never." Cooper said the segment involving Robin and Bree was the only one that didn't feel "stilted and sad". Lovely (Desperate Housewives) "Lovely" is the fifteenth episode of the sixth season of the American comedy-drama series, "Desperate Housewives", and the 126th overall episode of the series.
