Desperate Housewives

Lynette is visited by CPS; they even have security footage of her slapping Kayla. Susan and Mike try to pick a name for their new son. Gabby and the police bug Ellie's room to hope to catch the name of her supplier. The gays are having a commitment ceremony and want Katherine to do the food. Lynette learns that she could lose all of her kids. Kayla over hears this and takes a curling iron and has an evil look on her face. They settle on Connor until Mike's grandfather dies and he wants to name him Maynard. The police turn up and arrest Lynette. Kayla has a burn, but she did to herself. Lynette can't go within 500 feet of her children. Tom talks to Kayla about Lynette. He tells her that he needs to keep hr safe and that she has to live somewhere else. She then confesses to everything. He tells her he can't trust her and she has to leave. She says if she has to go she'll keep lying but tom has had the doctor on the phone and he has heard everything.

At Dylan's recital Adam and her mother are there. Her father calls Adam outside to help with a flat tire and he knocks Adam out.

Mike learns the truth about their son's name, Mike gives her a sob story about the name Maynard and she changes the name back. Kayla's grandparents come and take her back to their house. As they drive again she says to cry and calls for her father. Even Lynette looks upset.

Susan and Mike try to name their son. Mike wants to name him after his deceased grandfather, Maynard. Lynette is arrested for child abuse of Kayla. Bree is being stalked by Orson, and when she meets with Reverend Green, the reverend tries to hit on her. Gabrielle is still helping the police trying to detain Ellie for dealing drugs. Katherine is visited by her ex-husband, Wayne, who wants to know why Dylan doesn't have a childhood scar on her arm anymore. Wow, Maynard? That's just terrible. I loved Lynette's storyline. Kayla finally leaves. Bree's story was very entertaining. =] I liked Katherine's storyline, as well as Gabby's. I felt a little bad for Gabby, though. :(

This episode is a tearjerker for a few reasons:

the funny side - Susan and Mike's name dilema is hilarious (see comment above) and i am glad to see Susan is settling down into the motherhood rule and her clutziness has almost disappeared. Also the vicar calling Bree a flame-haired harlett was funny.



but the other tearjerking reason is the rest of the episode. Katherine's dilema is becoming more and more interesting and we generally feel sorry for her as she struggles to maintain her cool with Wayne.

Kayla however is Queen of Evil in this episode - someone get the girl an Exorcisim. When Lynette was taken away by the CPA it was heartbreaking to watch. When Tom rumbled Kayla it was emotional. When she was sent away it was a tearjerker. The actress who plays Kayla is brilliant but i hope she isn't like that in Real Life!!!

Part One of the Season Four Finale - This was an AWESOME episode. It really leaves you hanging about this whole Katharine-Dylan-Wayne mystery. I actually really liked the Lynette-Kayla storyline. Usually I don't like Kayla's part in the show, but this storyline about the child abuse was really interesting. Katharine and Bree go to the shooting range (hence the title, "The Gun Song"). Is Katharine practicing so she kill her husband?? Who knows?. I really, really liked the Gabby-Carlos-Ellie storyline too. I think that it was awesome.



Well, this episode really leaves uys hanging into the second part of the season finale "Free".



Overall this was a great episode.

this is so why i watch this series. finally the evil kayla has been defeated and thank God tom now believes how evil kayla is. poor lynette she can now have a little peace in her home.

susan and mike choosing a name for their son was very funny what kind of name is maynerd?common mike, connor is much nicer.

gabby in these episode and previous past was interesting this side of her that shows she could care for someone else besides herself was good to see i love her much more.

bree and orson too had an emotional scene i hope they get back together they are so good for each other.

i miss u eddie pls come back!!!

an amazing two hours show i'd watch it over and over again wonderfull story line plus the actors and actressess really showed off their talents

thumbs up to the writers and producers cant wait for the next season

A lot happened in this two hour season finale of Desperate Housewives. Story lines that seemed they could have gone on for much longer wrapped themselves up and I was overall very satisfied with the outcome.



Bree and Orson are still encountering problems, but the way things are turning out, I don't think it's going to last long. I'd hate it if Bree were to find someone else to run to, Orson and her were just so perfect for each other.



Gabrielle still makes me laugh no matter what. I mean, fine, it may get corny at times, but overall Gabby is still doing her job in making me laugh.



Susan is still obsessing over the fact that she just named her son Maynerd. It's typical Susan to do so, but after the last few bits if the episode, I think I'm going to miss the old Susan.



The mystery came to a very entertaining close. I had some of my own predictions and some of them were actually true to the facts, but of course, I was still surprised with the outcome.

I was so glad that someone besides Lynette finally figured out what Kayla was doing, and I wasn't sad at all to see her go. I don't blame Lynette at all for slapping her, Kayla already made one of Lynette's kids jump off the roof, and threatened to do something to her baby, I would've slapped Kayla too. Good for Lynette. The new baby is so cute. And I absolutely loved the scene where Bree and Katherine were working out the details of the wedding menu at the shooting rage. Those two bond so well, I don't know if it's because their both red-heads, or because they're both a little crazy. I bet it's more of the little crazy part.

Reverend Green: "Now you're giving out mixed messages".

Bree: "Well let me send you a clear one. I'm not attracted to you".



While she's at it, is there any chance Bree might send out a clear message to viewers in regards to Orson. Last week Bree behaved like an utter **** to Orson and this week she seems somewhat undecided.



On one hand you've got Bree bleating at Orson every time he so much as looks in her direction and then she gives off the vibe that she's not totally convinced whether or not her marriage is worth giving up on. Either way I wish she would make up her mind and fast.



Granted Orson doesn't do himself much favours by stalking Bree. If there's form of persuasion that Bree doesn't respond all that well to, it's being stalked. George tried it and when she did succumb, she allowed him to die. Luckily Orson isn't suicidal or Bree might just let him end it all.



Three episodes in a row and Bree is still like a dog with a bone over the fact that Orson nearly killed Mike. I know it's a hard thing to get past but considering that Mike was able to, Bree really doesn't have any just cause to keep this as a reason to distance herself from Orson. At this point, it's also something that is wearing rather thin. I don't see her constantly badgering Andrew to turn himself in over running over Mama Solis so what exactly makes Bree think it's her place to get Orson to turn himself in over nearly killing Mike? To be honest, this plot is making Bree more of a hypocrite rather than someone with a good moral centre.



Also to makes things slightly worse when Orson pops into the Scavo restaurant, Bree has no problem in trying to make him believe that she's starting a relationship with Reverend Green as well. If Marc Cherry is trying to detract sympathy from Bree, I'll happily admit that he's doing an excellent job in the matter.



It's also rather obvious that using Reverend Green was going to backfire on Bree. As soon as he started talking about his own marriage collapsing, I could see what was going to happen next. Suffice to say that Bree wasn't best pleased when he then forced himself on her.



Still Bree is hardly an innocent and has no problem giving him a bit of bible bashing to get him off. It's odd because even though this guy is a wedge of sleaze and Bree didn't deserve to have him try and force himself on her, I still can't feel that bad for Bree either. Come to think of it, Season Four really hasn't been doing her much favours, has it?



However one thing about annoying a man of God is that he can also publicly humiliate you through the power of a good sermon. Preaching to a packed church that Bree is a lustful harlot is possibly the best revenge that Reverend Green can dish and it's Orson who comes to her defence.



Despite the fact she's been completely horrible to him, Orson still loves Bree and while he can't physically take the Reverend in a fight, I still would consider him a hell of a lot more honourable than Bree is at this point.



The best thing about this episode however is that there is some genuine hope given to Orson that he might win Bree back. She already confided to Katherine a few weeks back that she still loved him and she did make an effort to see if he was alright in the hospital. Bree and Orson are the best couple on this show and with one more episode left, I'm hoping they will actually get back together.



As for Katherine, romantic woes would probably be a welcome tonic compared to the problems she's more or less cooked for herself. She might have thought she was being smart by telling Wayne last week that Dylan wasn't actually his but it turns out that it was the dumbest thing she could've done instead.



Wayne might have been happy to turn on Dylan but he also wants some proper answer and if Bob and Lee hadn't interrupted, he would've had no problem using physical violence on Katherine in order to get them. Even with the threat of her life, I'm still not entirely sympathetic to Katherine. Why is that?



Luckily for Katherine she at least has one person on her side in Adam. Back after a four episode disappearance, Adam tries to talk Katherine out of doing anything stupid. For Katherine that means trying to run away for the billionth time but seeing as Wayne keeps finding her, what would be the point?



Adam does try to offer up a vacation for Katherine and Dylan and there's a nice sense of family as he accompanies Katherine to Dylan's recital. Of course things then had to go bad with Adam being kidnapped by Wayne and given how much of a nutcase Wayne is, I actually do fear a little for Adam. Wayne really didn't have to do much in order to overpower him.



Things are not good for Lynette either. Okay so she doesn't have to deal with a psychotic ex-husband like Katherine but Kayla is equally as scary and troublesome as Wayne is too.



Trying to make amends for giving the little brat a deserved slap, Lynette tries to make Kayla a nice breakfast. Kayla on the other hand has Children's Protective Services paying Lynette a nice little home visit and soon enough Lynette learns that Kayla is reporting her for child abuse.



I said it in my last review and I'm sticking to my guns with it in this one – the slap Lynette gave to Kayla wasn't child abuse. Yes Lynette shouldn't have lost her temper but if anyone in that clothes store had actually heard what Kayla had said, then I don't doubt that they would've understood why Lynette lost her rag.



In some ways its Tom I actually feel sorry for. Even though he behaved like a major dick in the previous episode, it's nice that he's actually torn between Lynette and Kayla. He knows that Lynette isn't an abuser but he also doesn't want to believe in the idea that his daughter is a liar.



However with Lynette being threatened with jail, it's up to Tom to actually save her. The only he was able to do that was to trick Kayla into admitting that she had actually lied about the whole thing. Oh Kayla, you could've been Lynette free if you had called Tom's bluff.



Of course because Kayla did a bad thing she had to get punished for it and unlike Bree, she's way too young to throw out in the streets so the next best option is to send her to live with her grandparents. I have to admit a little part of me almost felt sorry for her but the girl did bring it on herself and I also didn't want to see Lynette go to jail either, so I'd rather lose Kayla instead.



Lynette isn't the only person who has kid problems. New parents Susan and Mike may have a healthy new son but they also have the problem of coming up with a decent name for the lad. There are plenty of interesting suggestions but as soon as Susan allows Mike to name the kid after his grandfather, she instantly regrets it.



I have to admit that I wouldn't have gone with the name Maynard as well. Not only is it old fashioned but you've got the likes of Bree, Lynette and Gabrielle adding their own viewpoints on such a name. Lynette neatly emphasises that such a strange name could see the poor lad getting a lot teasing in school.



Of course with all this intact Susan then makes a rather ham fisted effort to try and get the name change. When Mike gets wind of this, he explains to her why the name is so significant. It's a touching story but as many people online pointed out, couldn't they have just added it as a middle name instead of first name? It would've been the better option in my opinion.



Less taxing plot wise is the Gabrielle and Carlos plot of the episode. Gabby is still under police instructions to bust Ellie and this week both her and a rather insensitive cop have to bug the woman's room.



When Gabrielle gets caught by Ellie she pretends that she's cheating on Carlos with her handyman. The funny part is that Ellie is not only irritated by Gabrielle using her room as a boudoir but also morally believes that Gabby shouldn't be cheating and so Ellie ends up telling Carlos.



Of course before Gabby actually tells Carlos what she was really up to, she just dismisses his hurt but talking about her own. It's funny that the introduction of Ellie has made Gabby care about someone besides herself. When the police show up to arrest the woman, Gabrielle helps her escape.



Meanwhile Bob and Lee also hound Katherine to be their caterer. Despite the fact that the writers have made no effort at all to develop them as characters, the two of them are having a commitment ceremony no less. Personally, I'd rather stick with Kevin and Scotty's one in Brothers And Sisters.



Also in "The Gun Song"



I liked the opening scene with Lynette's mothering skills being examined prior to Children's Protective Service visiting her.



Fern: "Children's Protective Services".

Lynette: "For the record I keep my floors clean".



The name thing at the start was interesting but why didn't get a meaning for Susan's name while we were at it.



Susan (to Mike, re the baby): "I guess he's not getting a name. When we want him to come, we'll whistle and say 'hey boy'".



Ellie: "You're having an affair with your handyman?"

Gabrielle: "I know it's crazy".



Ellie's opposition of cheating stems from her mum doing it and her father abandoning her as a result.



Orson: "Peace be with you, Bree".

Bree: "I reject your peace so stop stalking me".



Katherine (re Dylan): "I told you she's not yours".

Wayne: "I don't see her in you either".



This is one of those episodes in which Bree's extensive knowledge of guns is rather creepy, especially when she's discussing bullets with Katherine.



Lynette (to Susan, re Mike's grandfather): "How did he die? Was he get beaten to death for being called Maynard?"



Waitress: "Will you be needing a new wine list?"

Orson: "Actually I'll need a new restaurant".



Susan's original name for her son was going to be the much better (but popular for TV) Connor.



Reverend Green: "Aren't you Bree's ex-husband?"

Orson: "No, I'm her current husband and I want to talk to you about today's sermon".



Susan: "Griselda. That must have been a tough name to take out in the playground".

Griselda: "Actually, yeah it was".

Susan: "We should talk".



In terms of missing people, there's no sightings of Andrew, the long gone Danielle, Julie or Edie.



Ellie (to Gabrielle): "Thing is one bad decision can mess up so many lives and I don't want that to happen to you and Carlos because I love you guys".



Adam: "Who are you?"

Wayne: "I'm Wayne Davis and we're about to have some fun".



Chronology: A few days since "Mother Said".



As preludes go, "The Gun Song" is satisfying. There's a nice sense of suspense in the final act and with the right balance of humour, it also ups the anticipation for the finale quite well.

I like this two parter. I especially like the guy who plays Katherine's abusive former husband. Fantastic aftermath to his death.



But this entire series really must go down in history as the most criminal underuse of Nathan Fillion.



The five years ahead thing at the end of the second part surprised me. Will they continue with this next season? Hilarious to see Gabrielle with two fat and naughty little girls. Susan's new man is that totally hot guy from Queer As Folk. He'd be an excellent addition to the cast, if they don't just criminally underuse him too.



Lynette henpecking Tom is getting old, but I like his speech to the unhappy couple. Bree Vandercamp-Hodge just gets better and better. Glad she took back her murderous man and wrote a cook book. :-)



But, all in all, the mystery shocker wasn't really so shocking and do I really care of that kid's called Maynard? Not so much. Good, but not really worthy of a season finale.

Okay, we'll start with first things first. I loved the whole name thing in this episode. Very interesting. Susan and Mike fighting over names was too funny. I liked Conner better than Maynard. That poor kid. The nurse was hilarious too when she said "oh, really? I like Maynard". Mike is just too darn cute. Bree and Katherine bonding is really interesting. I liked the shooting to talk about business. Very stress relieving and so Bree of them. I really thought they would solve the mystery on the first part of the finale, or at least some of it. Guess not. They are really making a huge effort to leave us hanging til the last minute.



The return of that priest and his conversation with Bree were killing me. That was perfect writing. Extremelly hilarious.



The best part of this episode was Kayla/Lynette/Tom situation. What a little devil that girl is? I mean, burning yourself just to get Lynette out of the picture. And what good does that make? It's not as if Lynette was harming the kid. Kayla seriously has major issues and really needs to get help. I didn't like how Tom reacted to all of it. I don't know why he refuses to see what a little monster he has in the house. I mean, their other kids are bad, but nothing compared to the little devil Kayla is. I hope she comes back every now and then though. That little girl is an excellent actress.



Gaby and the Ellie situation are just too funny. I was laughing so hard when she jumped on the fat cop. Hillarious.



Great episode! Very interesting indeed. And now onto the next part.

This is yet another excellent epsiode in what has been an excellent season.



(*)SPOILERS(*)



Susan and Mike have the hard task of naming their baby. TheY decide on Connor before Mike's grandpa dies. "I'd really like it if we could name him after my grandfather, Maynard." Of course, Susan hates the name but can't say no so instead she goes and changes the name back without Mike's knowing. Her plan almost works until a nurse comes into the room with balloons that say Connor on them. Susan panics. "Get those out of here. Mike's afraid of ballons. He was m*l*sted by a clown."



Elsewhere, Kayla finally gets sent packing as she admits to trying to set Lynette up as a child abuser and Bree and Orson continue to be apart. Catherine is in danger as her abusive ex captures Adam and Gaby helps their new drug dealer guest escape from the Police.

This episode opens with a segment about how Lynette has always been not been the greatest mother. Child services came and I knew that however this Kayla thing ended, it was not gonna be good. It's such a shame whenever we see Wisteria Lane's favorite model family get hurt. They really don't deserve it.



I already looked up the meaning of the housewives' names when they first came to our screens. Lynette is a French description for a pretty one, Katherine denotes Greek purity, Gaby is Hebrew for 'God is my strength', Bree in Irish means power. Which brings us to Mike and Susan's problem with choosing their baby's name. They decided on Connor (which is the name of the McNamaras' third child in Nip/Tuck by the way) based on a doctor's name at the hopsital.



Gaby hires someone to install bugs in Ellie's room, but as you can expect from dramedies like this, Ellie comes back for a wallet and Gaby cunningly makes it look as though she was having an affair in Ellie's room. Ellie gets upset for Gaby breaking into her room and the fact that Gaby is cheating on Carlos, which I thought was pretty stupid of Ellie to do.



Ellie tells Carlos and then Carlos tells Gaby. Gaby lays out an explanation to Carlos in a rushed manner and that was that. I don't believe that Gaby was then touched by Ellie's story about her parents' story, 'cause I mean... look at Gaby. Look at the love of his life, Carlos. They're both not known for their great family backgrounds. And Gaby somehow managed to let Ellie loose. What a mistake.



Bree rejects Orson's peace at church and reinforces the fact that their marriage is over. Bree then sees Orson yet again while having lunch at Tom's pizzeria. Bree unintentionally attracted an Reverend Green while using him to drive away Orson.



Orson goes to the church and unknowingly lets the whole church listen to him arguing with the reverend, which I thought was funny. Reverend Green knocks Orson out somehow and prompts Bree to care about him again and admit she is the wife of a good man.



Wayne comes to Katherine, asking her about who Dylan really is due to her uncanny dissemblance from not only him, but Katherine as well. Also, Katherine takes on a catering job with Bob and Lee. Katherine and Bree talk catering while firing a gun at a shooting range. All dressed up in a black turtle neck, Bree looked like a professional assassin.



Adam comes back to Katherine and proposes to get Dylan out of town. Katherine agrees to a trip with just the three of them. Wayne also appears at Dylan's cello performance, knocks Adam out and puts him in the back of car, which was so scary.



Tom and Lynette finds out that they could lose all their kids' custody, while Kayla finds yet another way to sabotage Lynette. She burned herself, leading to Lynette being arrested. How extremely awful. I think Tom really should stop favoring Kayla. Like, just forget Kayla. And take a look at the woman you fell in love with and had four children with. Tom confesses to Kayla, that he has to bring Kayla somewhere else. Good thing he did, until Kayla confessed that she hates Lynette. I could actually see Tom hitting her right at that moment. But no, Tom kept his cool way better than I expected. He had the doctor on the phone through the whole conversation. That is brilliance.



Susan finds out that Mike's grandfather just passed away, and that Mike would like to name their own child after him, Maynard. Susan doesn't know how to come to terms with a Maynard Delfino. The ladies tell Susan to try and make Mike see the horribleness of the name Maynard. After meeting Griselsa Sage at the hospital, Susan manages to change the name back to Connor, but when Mike finds out, Susan actually finds it in herself to name the baby Maynard. That was actually quite touching.



In the end, Kayla moves out of the Scavo house by herself and I was insensitively cheering as she waved goodbye to Tom. Susan just finishes off a medieval themed painting on the wall, which I thought was pretty good for a woman who can't even cook a proper meal. Ellie is seen crying on the side of a city street while Reverend Green and Orson are both missing Bree, all three of them which I had no sympathy for. And Adam wakes up to Wayne Davis, preparing us for the finale.

This episode was so good. Mike's grandfather died, and Susan agreed to name the baby after him, before learning his name was Maynard. It was funny when she tried to get it changed, and kind of took advantage of a woman named Griselda. I loved the Gabby and Ellie storyline. It was really nice of Gabby to let Ellie escape through the back door. Lynette getting arrested was very dramatic, and I cannot believe Kayla did all that stuff to her. Kayla's departure was sad, as was Nora's back in season three. Bree was almost embarrassed in front of the whole church by the priest, which was priceless. This episode was amazing and the perfect lead-in to an unforgettable season finale.

WOW! The whole finale was simply PERFECT and the first part was definitely quite memorable despite not being better than the second!



So Susan has finally given birth in the last episode and now she & Mike argue about its name, they end up choosing the name Conner until Mike discovers that his grandfather has died and so he decides to name him Maynard, after his grandfather. Susan despies the name but agrees because Mike is so emotional about it and a conversation with her friends leads her to change the name back to Conner. Eventually she & Mike have a conversation about it and they name him back Conner. Her storyline was quite funny and enjoyable, they make a good couple!



The police is waiting for Ellie's client to come so they could arrest the pair and when it's time, Gabby tells her that the police are about to break in because they have grown so close and thus Ellie escapes. Earlier, Ellie left the house and so Gabby and the undercover cop go into Ellie's room to plant spying bugs in her room but she walks into the room and Gabby pretends to be having an affair with the handyman. So Ellie tells Carlos later because her mother had an affair and her father left them and so she had a hard life. This storyline was quite enjoyable and it was so intense in the end when Gabby was telling Ellie to escape, it was very good indeed.



Bree is being stalked by Orson who wants her back but she tries to drive him away by pretending to be with the priest and partly succeeds until the priest tries to kiss her but she pushes him away and insults him and thus he decides to warn the town about her the next day, claiming that she's slut. Orson finds out and fights with the priest but gets punched. Bree visits Orson at the hospital and tells the nurse to take good care of him in a REALLY heartwarming scene.



Lynette is visited by two women who tell her that Kayla has claimed that Lynette has hit her repeatedly. Kayla burns herself afterwards, and Lynette gets arrested because of this. While she's being visited by Tom in prison, she finally stands up for herself and tells Tom to do something and so he does. He makes Kayla confess and when she tries to threaten him, she finds out that his cell phone was on and now everyone knows the truth. Tom sends her to her grandfathers' and she says goodbye in like one of the franchise's saddest scenes ever. This storyline was highly enjoyable to be frank.



Katherine! She's visited by Wayne who demands to know the truth about his daughter but she refuses to say anything and fortunately for her, they are interrupted by Bob & Lee who want Katherine & Bree to cater their marriage for them and Katherine of course agrees. Later on, Katherine goes shooting with Bree since she obviously needs some extra protection around the house. She returns home only to find Adam there, they decide to take Dylan outside the country because of Wayne's return and they go to her concert together, all three of them. While at the concert, Adam goes out and Wayne asks for his help but then hits him on his head. In the last scene, we see Adam tied up in a room with Wayne saying that they're going to have a lot of fun. This storyline was very exciting and set up the tension for the second hour quite brilliantly, also Adam & Katherine make such a great couple and they need to get back together!



Overall, this was a very powerful episode with many amazing moments that really stand out to make this hour the best episode since Something's Coming

F**king A! what the heck was that in the last minute of the episode. i almost fell off my seat.. coreection i jumped out of my seat and starting calling everyone i knew who watches the show. although, just my ,luck no one had watched it!! i almost died! I'm just speechless! susan not with mike? gaby with kids? lynette kids juvenile delinquents? bree with her own cook book and a new weird a** attitude? the only normal one is Katherine who at the being was pretty shaddy. ok well i'm done ranting. Awesome episode! loved how it was 2 hours!! very suspenseful. loved every minute except the last. but i might be ok with it if they explain how those things came about but thats why i have to just wait till next season(bummer)

This episode builds up nicely to the season finale. There's plenty of suspense as Katherine's ex-husband, Wayne, slowly circles her like a shark. Of course, the suspense, as always, is offset by moments that make you laugh out loud. Such as the whole business with "Maynard" as the name for the Delfino's new baby boy. Such as Bree and Katherine, that oh-so-proper pair, planning a wedding reception while blasting away at the shooting range. Such as Gaby throwing herself on that bloated police technician when her drug-dealing tenant Ellie walks in on them as they are bugging Ellie's room. Priceless.

"How did he die? Was he beaten to death because his name was Maynard?"



Pretty good season finale. Season 4 received a lot of hate, but I thought they developed some strong storylines and we got to see the payoff in this program.



Justine Bateman has been kind of annoying, and I wish they would've cast someone else in her role. The Kayla/Lynette storyline was exciting and was a good ride until the end. Bree has not been as funny as usual since the separation with Orson, so I hope they get back together.



The Reverend coming onto Bree was hilarious though. And then the fight with Orson.



I almost died of laughter when Wayne attacked Katherine. Yes, I'm kind of sick, but it was very enjoyable to me. The committment ceremony was pretty annoying. Desperate Housewives has always featured special, unique comedy and they don't need to rely on stereotypically gay humor to be funny. Amazing season finale, probably the best one so far. Best episode of TV this week, and possibly this month. Just an incredible episode with very few flaws. Can't wait for next season.

Oh my god! Let me just start out by saying that I thought that this episode was absolutely amazing! This episode was so funny, so dramatic and so shocking on so many levels that it's almost impossible to describe this episode in just one word. I thought that all of the housewives' story lines were great, especially Bree's and the whole thing with the minister was hilarious. I also really liked Susan's story line and the whole thing about wanting to change baby Maynard's name. That whole story line was hilarious. This whole episode really was very funny, and I absolutely loved it. All in all, this was an excellently written, excellently acted and excellently made episode from everyone who was involved in the making of it, and I thought that it was a great way to lead into part two of the season finale of Desperate Housewives.

Oh my god. Really the only three words I can use to describe this episode. Every time you thought you knew where this was headed it took a total 180. There were so many perfect moments crammed in here it would be impossible to list them all, but I'll try.



The Kayla thing- When I saw that I said to myself "That is the greatest thing in the world." The way she turned back into the car begging for daddy was just perfect because I hated her. It made me happy. I knew Tom would have to come to terms with his evil daughter sooner or later. It was great.



The Katherine Thing- I really and honestly thought I knew what happened with her, but I was dead wrong. It was a great story though. Really sad, really frustrating, but great all the same. Her frustration was really clear, plus her reaction to the whole hostage thing was super. Plus, the whole group story thing was great, the way they all pitched in to help Kathy when she was under fire was so perfect. They all thought really quick and saved her butt at the last minute. That was so cool.



Those were the two big major things that happened here, that are worth describing (the Gabi-Drug Dealer thing was cool, but I'm not really sure I could do it justice...), but this was a great season ender worthy of the name "Desperate Housewives".

I'm kinda sad in some way because I'm thinking a few characters won't continue in the show. On the previous episode, Eddie went away to visit her son (although, last season also ended the same way for her when she tried to commit suicide) On this season finale Susan's daughter going to college, Scavos twins, Kayla sent away to her grandparents, for some reason I get the felling Gaby is a single mom, no more Delfino after seeing Susan coming home to a different guy, Dylan getting married... On the counterpart other characters look like staying, Kathleen, Orson (I just don't like him) and the gay couple.



Lots of changes are coming.



Who knows who the next new neighbor will be next season.

Wow...do not read this review if you have not yet seen the episode.







So I knew that the real Dylan died, I just never thought it would be an accident, but we knew that Katherine would somehow get away with it. Though it was crazy, with Adam surviving that brutal attack by Wayne, and then Katherine killing Wayne so that he would never come back was well brilliant. Now I know what that gash in the floor was all about.



Bree and Orson had a lot of cute moments, sadly she still cannot forgive him for what he did to Mike, despite that everyone else could. I have to admit watching her put the ice sculpture in a stroller and push down the street was priceless.



Lynette and Kayla finally squared their feud, by sending Kayla away. I actually felt for the devilish little girl, she wanted so bad to have a family, but Lynette stood in her way, since she was not her real mother. I thought that Tom would not be able to forgive Lynette or Kayla for that matter, but what he said to Bob and Lee about marriage was great. I was really glad to know that they would work it out.



Gaby and Carlos stole money from Elly after ratting her out to the cops, I have to say that the Solice's are my favorite couple, Gabby and Carlos make a great team, Carlos is the perfect straight man to Gaby's wacky antics.



Mike wanted to name his baby Maynard, after his grandfather, who sounded like a saint, but Susan up to her crazy antics could not live with the name, and changed it, but then she came around. It seemed like her and Mike had everything going for them, and Julie got into Princeton, early and Mike was able to help her out.



In the end the ladies banded together to protect Katherine and to protect the thing that they value most their friendship. Then five years passed...



We learned that Gabby has two little girls, who love to get into her makeup and dresses, and who seem to have driven her to her breaking point.



Katherine stayed on Wisteria Lane, not sure if she is still with Adam, but Dylan went to Paris and got engaged, all seems well.



Bree is a successful businesswoman, with Andrew as her assistant, and Orson as her husband, which was good to see, I guess after the crime she hid, she could forgive him his.



Lynette's boys are stealing cars and have been in Juvenile Hall.



The biggest mystery of all Susan returned home to a man who was not Mike.





So many questions raised, after such a standout season.

Loved, loved, LOVED, this ep. (spoilers ahead-be warned!)

Glad to say farewell to Kayla Scavo--I never thought it would be possible to hate a child, but this one made it easy. Got to give it up to that little actress: she sure mastered that look of pure evil.

Finally, we learned the secret that Katherine has been keeping. Although I think most of us have known from the start that Dylan wasn't "Dylan", it was a relief to get the whole story. (Or maybe anyway, after all, this is Wisteria Lane. Do we ever know the whole truth?)

On another note: Maynard? MAYNARD? I get that it's after Mike's grandfather, who was a fine man who deserved to have his great-grandson named after him, but what's wrong with Maynard as a middle name? Loved Lynette's comment about nicknames "May" or "Nerd"?

One last note: I'm intrigued by the fast forwarding 5 years concept. Gabby looking all haggard with 2 kids, Porter and Preston as teenage delinquents, but who is that with Susan???? What happened to Mike? Damn that Marc Cherry and his cliffhangers!
