    Me encantó este episodio. hide show

    Lynette se da cuenta que el la historia de hadas en la que vivia no era necesariamente verdadera, así como se da cuenta también que Tom es sólo un hombre, con defectos igual que los demás. Gabrielle emprende una guerra con su empleada ahora que ella está llevando el hijo de los Solís, mostrandonos que gabrielle sigue siendo una mejor egoista y que no deja perder ni una sola batalla. Mientras tanto Bree llega al borde de su calma y se da cuenta que es imposible seguir con su vida como estaba, se interna en un hospital y acepta que simplemente se puede volver loca en cualquier momento. Y Susan decide no aceptar la ayuda de los demás, mientras logra una confesión de Edie por quemar su casa.

    Desperate housewives are back... :D hide show

    Wow, this was a really good episode. My favourite parts of all episodes are the ones where Mary-Alice talks. It is very funny to see her talking about her friends... and still she knows many secrets.

    It was so funny when Edie confessed Susan that she burnt the house. And also, it was so funny when to of them were chasing themselfs around.

    What can I say for Lynette and Tom... "OMG!"... I really wonder what will happen with them in next episodes, but I think it's really great that the producers decided to do this with them.

    But, I don't like Gabrielle-Carlos-Xiao-Mei scenes anymore. This will definitely lead to something bad in their marriage... but... you have to say "It has been seen before." First season, John and Gabrielle and that almost destroyed their marriage, why again?

    BEST EPISODE OF THE SEASON hide show

    With this episode, Desperate Housewives is back on top.
    Many fans have complainned about the show claiming that all storylines have been not intersting as it was on the first season. Not sure about what to think over it, but I'm sure that this one was great and probably brought the caracthers to their usual dramas. It is also imporatant to register that every housewife started to live a special and different situation affecting their lives starting on its episode. It is one of that days in which you just can't hardly wait for the next new week. If this is how the third season will follow, there are great chapters waiting for us.

    Some dramatic changes occur this week which sets up fr a very good end of series. hide show

    I can't believe Felicia cut her fingers off, it looks very creepy, she must have a very evil and calculated mind.

    The irthday cake scene with Bree and Danielle was performed really well and the twist in the Mike and Susan relationship is really working.

    Shame about Edie's puffed up face!

Episode Cast and Crew

View All
  • When Paul is arrested for Felicia's supposed murder, where is Zach? He is nowhere to be seen, yet he had to have been in the house when the police came. []
  • Notice that when Lynette follows Tom to Nora's home in Atlantic City, the street lights are exactly the same as the street lights on Wisteria Lane. []
  • When Susan asks Mike about the woman she saw him with in the movies, he says that it "was a one time thing", but in that episode, they are seen together in the movies for a second time, it's obvious from their different clothes. Clearly that scene was made to serve Mary Alice's line when she says "...some have let go of the right woman". []
More Trivia
  • Due to time constraints, the opening credits were cut. []
  • Although they are credited, Richard Burgi (Karl Mayer), Shawn Pyfrom (Andrew Van De Kamp) and NaShawn Kearse (Caleb Applewhite) do not appear in this episode. []
  • In one scene, Gabrielle is reading "Maxim" magazine, of which Eva Longoria was on the cover in January 2005. []
  • (After dropping keys due to her severed fingers)
    Felicia: Sometimes, I'm just all thumbs. []
  • Paul (Upon discovering Felicia's severed fingers in his car): She's good! []
  • (Susan turns on the recorder under her shirt and knocks on Edie's door. Edie answers the door eating a bag of popcorn. She tries to slam the door. Susan holds the door)
    Susan: No, Edie, wait! Um, I don't want to fight. I know that we've had our differences, but you know we had a friendship going on there and I just think we owe it to ourselves to talk about what happened.
    Edie: What's there to talk about? It happened. (she chews the popcorn as she talks) I walked down to your house. I had this watering can.
    Susan: What?
    Edie (muffled): I filled it with gasoline and boom! Laughed my ass off.
    Susan: Okay, wait, could you just swallow? 'Cause I couldn't really hear what you were saying.
    Edie: Well, that was basically it. One of the best days of my life.
    Susan: Well, see you were chewing and so I didn't really hear what you said. Could you just say it again?
    Edie: I burnt you house down and it was great. What do you want?
    Susan: So, uh, you then admit burning down my house. On purpose. []
