Once again, the time has come to say goodbye to these characters, women who have profoundly marked my life, in a way that perhaps cannot be explained. Only I know the impact Desperate Housewives had and still has on me. The series that opened the door for me to other series. That made me laugh and lifted my spirits in soooo many moments. That moved me for many reasons. And that taught me many things... I love this ending intensely. For me, it’s a wonderful and coherent celebration.
Her lives were indeed changed forever. For Lynette, with this irrefutable job offer from Katherine Mayfair – I love that she reappears, today I see that she is quite hated by many people, but I always liked the character even when she freaked out there in season 6. Who knew her life had turned out this way, man? The woman became a millionaire... And she even gave Lynette her dream job. She has ALWAYS aspired to reach the presidency of some company, it has always been her goal. And just when she thought those doors had all closed, behold... Another thing I love is that they bring that actress who played Natalie in 1x01 back, in the same supermarket, to give Lynette an incentive to accept the job. This scene was very nostalgic and was a great homage to the beginning of the show.
The inopportune time for Julie to go into labor!!! I laugh so hard in this entire sequence, it was so priceless. Renee freaking out since before getting into the limo, then having her dress ruined and complaining about the girl’s contractions. Susan made the best expressions! The scene in the store was great. Renee’s second dress was even prettier than the first, to be honest. And Susan pulling off the limo and leaving the bride on foot!! But I feel sorry for Renee for these inconveniences. Everything ends well, but can you imagine how awful the bride having to change her dress in a hurry and then having to walk who knows how far to the buffet? Poor thing! Her freak out when Ben met her at the door, another priceless moment.
By the way, the wedding decor was beautiful and I’m in love with Lynette’s speech at the toasts. At first glance, unusual. Her talking about people forgetting about love after they get married. But then, as she added, it got so real and touching. “To remembering”.
Gaby and Carlos reversing roles! I LOVE IT. Him realizing the diamond watch trick. Then her reaction when she saw the new gardener. By the way, Carmen is a character from Devious Maids, a series that Marc Cherry created as soon as Desperate Housewives ended - it’s as if the series were mother and daughter and we can consider this moment a crossover! Anyway, Carlos and Gaby talking honestly about how they don’t want to go back to being those two selfish petty people who only devalue themselves all the time... What a moment!
I can’t hold back my tears when Wonderful Wonderful starts playing, marking the birth of Julie and Porter’s daughter, and the death of Karen McCluskey... This scene is beautiful and poetic. A full life ends, a new one begins. On one side, two families happy with the arrival of another human being. On the other, a stunned husband, with the pain of grief, a friend crying and being comforted... The cycle of life, isn’t it? That’s how it works...
The individual outcomes for me are all wonderful. Lynette, as the episode had already shown, becoming president of a company... Leading a full life with Tom, for the rest of their days. And always yelling at kids. She could never get rid of it anyway! Gaby went far. She got that job quite unusually, as a saleswoman, and eventually became famous, host of a fashion show and all. And with Carlos’ support all the way... Bree was the biggest surprise. I never imagined that she would one day enter politics. I just wanted her to be a Democrat. But anyway, great that she has found happiness once again with a man who truly values and respects her.
And Susan’s ending for me was as coherent as possible. Considering the tragedy that befell their lives, it was expected that she would move out of the house and try to start over somewhere else, close to her daughter, her granddaughter. With a possibility of becoming romantically involved with someone. Why not? But if she doesn’t, she’ll spend the rest of her days with memories of a very full and happy life.
The value that each of them has in me is indescribable. I won’t repeat myself, but I really love the individual development and transformation they’ve had over these 180 episodes. With ups and downs, moments of joy, moments of nervousness. But with an extremely positive, exciting and remarkable balance. Bree, Lynette, Susan, Gaby, Edie, Katherine, Renee, and so many other wonderful, inspiring characters... I just thank you! Thank you for everything! For every moment, for every episode...
Again I leave my “see you later” to Wisteria Lane. At some future time, we will meet again. See you ladies soon.
