What a Season Finale my friends. Forever one of the most surprising episodes for me, full of great turns!
How can you not love Gabrielle Solis? Man, that scene where she goes to the hospital and impersonates Angie to the nurse was wonderfully hilarious. And I love her involvement in this plot, the fact that she takes risks to save her neighbors, knowing Patrick’s level of danger, is admirable. Even if she didn’t get anything (and she would have died if the bomb had really been in the house), but just going there and trying to make a difference says a lot. Nick fainting in the car when she was philosophizing!!! THIS SERIES!!
The twist that defined the outcome of Patrick Logan was MAGISTRAL for me, one of the most brilliant of the show. I really love Patrick thinking he’s the badass, telling Angie he’s going to make her pay (only with death), telling her to run to save Danny. And Angie stopping away from the car, waving goodbye, saying the bomb is in the detonator... What an amazing woman! It’s worth mentioning that she was also willing to die to save Danny and Nick, since he might as well have activated it without allowing her to get out of the car. Anyway, I am very sorry that she remains a fugitive and leaves, my biggest dream was for Angie to continue on the show for the other seasons. As I always say, among all the secondary housewives, who have only joined one arc in the seasons, Angie is by far the one that grew on me the most. She is iconic and memorable. In the end, I felt sorry for Danny, as he wanted to stay with his parents. But it was very altruistic of Angie and Nick to decide to allow him to live life freely, since he doesn’t owe anything... May he be happy and Angie find some peace, without being afraid of Patrick Logan. BTW: I love her saying that Gaby proved their idea about suburban neighbors wrong.
Last time I watched it, Eddie empathized with me more in that ending. Not this time... I think I feel more for Lynette anyway. First, being in such a horrible situation, having contractions, begging to be taken to the hospital. And second, because she cares, because she tries to make him face the consequences of the atrocities he’s committed, without fear, just being affectionate. Lynette is gold, a human being with a giant heart. Eddie, on the other hand, makes me angry... When he immobilized Lynette and stopped her from talking the moment Tom appeared, my blood boils. But anyway, I’m glad he didn’t do anything, he even saved the baby’s life. I wanted to see him get arrested, but it was impactful when he decided to listen to Lynn and chose to turn himself in. I don’t know if there’s any way in this life he can redeem himself for what he did, because he destroyed many families, took many lives. But the acknowledgment of his crimes, his awareness of what he has committed and acceptance of penance, is already a step taken...
In Susan’s plot, I believe that Mike is really mired in debt. I think that after Susan’s staging with Gaby to expose both him and Carlos for borrowing the money, he did put his pride aside. Susan was shocked when she saw the amount owed, so I’m guessing it’s a lot more than what she got for the sale of the nightclub. And I understand her being disgusted with Mike, because all of this could have been avoided if he had seen marriage for what it is: a partnership. And being forced to leave the house so they don’t get bogged down anymore... Anyway, I can only hope that they manage to resolve the situation as soon as possible, and return to the place where they should never have left. Wisteria Lane will always be their home, especially Susan. BTW: I need to emphasize the farewell scene with Angie, I feel sick from laughing when she just says “bye” and slams the door. Susan’s face was priceless.
“Would you please be a dear and close the door on your way out of my life?” I really love this quote and I love even more what Bree says to Sam when he has the audacity to say that “he didn’t want it to end this way”. PATHETIC. I believe that he went there with that intention, and that he was going to carry out a coup on the sly. As he got cornered, he turned to blackmail. I’m SO sorry that Bree lost a nearly decade-old business that she built pretty much on her own to an ego-injured son of a bitch, pissed at not growing up rich.
Now, about Orson’s situation, I reiterate what I’ve said before: I will NEVER accept that he is the person to end the marriage. Let alone that shit he said, “I thought you were a better person; you are not the woman I thought you were.” Just like he’s not the man he showed himself to be when he married her, since from the beginning, he’s kept numerous secrets from Bree, involving crimes in the family, crimes committed by him, people he stole in season 5 to hurt her. So for me it’s VERY frustrating to see him leaving the house willingly, putting an end to everything as if he had any morals to do it. On the matter of the hit-and-run, Bree is really dubious. I don’t say hypocritical... Because I understand her need to protect Andrew, who is her son. The series has already put this on the agenda several times, with Bree, with Lynette, what they are capable of doing for the love of their children. It’s instinct. I point out, again, how Bree felt when she kicked him out of the house, he was on the street for months, and he evolved from that. Andrew since then is a different person. Aside from that, Orson ran over Mike with the intention of killing him – he even went back to the hospital with the aim of ending his race when he found out that he had woken up, let’s not forget. What happened to Juanita was an accident. And I make this comparison just because Orson says that the situations are the same, and they ARE NOT: the coincidence is a hit-and-run, but the circumstances that led to that, say a lot about each of them. And it’s just too irritating that he thinks he’s more important than his wife’s children. ALWAYS gets angry at not being put in front of them.
Bree’s mistake was hiding it from the Solis and now she’s going to fix that. I think if she tells Gaby, it will be up to them to decide whether to report Andrew or not. Or Andrew himself, who can turn himself in even over his mother’s protests.
So, apart from that, we have two more shocking twists for the next season: the revelation that a nurse switched babies (apparently, in pure evil) when they were newborns. Parker, Penny, Juanita, MJ and Celia. One of them is not a biological child... What a bomb. Also, Paul Young’s return to Wisteria Lane, right at Susan’s house - apparently he hid the name, since she didn’t know who the tenant was. It promises!
