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!

Starting with the flashbacks: once again, they were amazing! Past episode was showing how each one arrived at Wisteria Lane, this one shows key moments of their lives and how they connect to the present. Bree and Rex talking at the drugstore, she saying she needs to have a firm grip on her kids so they don’t get out of the way. How ironic. Look how they both turned out. And George’s presence! “And you are a good man.” He fooled everyone by being nice. Then Lynette pissed off when Tom insinuated that they would have another baby!!! But boy, what an insatiable man! Eight hours into delivery of the FOURTH baby, Lynette finished, and he was already talking about naming his fifth child!!! And Gaby’s first date with John. He was a virgin…and positively surprised her in sex. The world goes round. Two years ago, sex for Carlos was sacred and he was incapable of cheating on her, and now... Susan had only a small flashback at the end showing her happiness with Karl, which shortly after would be summed up.

I’m shocked at the way that employee talks to Bree. Calling her crazy and that he would have fun watching her trapped every day. But what the fuck? Her expression defined me. The escape moment was awesome! Brave and bold, Bree threw the sand at the doctor without remorse. And all in the name of the children, even when they are Andrew and Danielle...

Danielle was a huge disappointment. She left that ridiculous letter for Bree, said she wouldn’t come back, but at the first difficulty eka decided to run home to steal her mother’s money and food. huh? Aren’t she and Matthew mature adults? Anyway... The moment of Betty’s confrontation with Matthew was very tense. And I totally understand her side, when she agreed that she gave Caleb more love for being “special”. Matthew is mad, unable to understand his brother’s needs. Not to mention the cowardice of killing the girl and hiding it...

The ending to this arc is amazing and sooo impactful. That sequence at Bree’s is breathtaking. I hold my breath as she takes the steps toward Matthew, telling Danielle she’s going to prove he’s no good. She took too many risks and all in the name of an ungrateful daughter! The shot was very unexpected. I don’t think I even wanted him to die, he had to pay. With this reality check that Danielle has taken, I hope she learns to be a little more humble and value her mother more as well. As for Betty, I feel SO sorry for her. I’m always saddened by the look on her face when she sees Matthew’s body being taken out of the house. Above all he was a son, and that is an image no mother wants to see. Unlike most, I’ve always liked this character a lot, for the strength, for the way she protects her children. Memorable! I would love for her to continue in the series. Alfre Woodard is an actress I admire a lot.

Oh, and this season has an owner: Bree Van de Kamp. And Marcia Cross! What a character and what an actress! Impeccable.

It was shocking to see that Susan was actually going to accept Karl’s house. Glad Mike made her see things right and even said that he did all that because he saw him buying the ring. Overall I like Karl, but enough of this manipulation and enough of interfering in Susan’s life. He already had his chance and he didn’t take it, threw it away. Time to move on... I love Susan all excited about that dinner, the trailer decor with those lights was so beautiful!! Too bad it was all in vain, damn. She alone there waiting and believing that Mike didn’t go because she had no interest. I feel bad for her!

Mike’s hit-and-run is too BRUTAL. I think this scene is very strong and very well done. There’s no way not to fear what will result from that blow there. And besides, it was Orson who ran him over. The conversation they had in the office was already quite intriguing. Mike said he knew him from somewhere and Orson was keen to walk away. And now he’s done all this to get rid of him – a hit like that, the intention was to kill him. On top of that, he took an interest in Bree! It’s amazing how she has a magnet for mad men. Stay away from that man, Bree. You deserve better.

I have fun with Nora! She’s really unbearable, but you can’t help but laugh at her weirdness. I think Lynette contributes a lot to that. In this episode alone they already had clashes and Lynn doesn’t let it go – raising her voice in the restaurant was great. And the final scene where they talk at home is one of my favorites from the episode. Nora losing her temper and revolting at Lynette’s ill will in the conversation!!! And Lynn’s frightened expressions. Her life is now going to get complicated as the crazy woman is going to live so close. Poor Lynette.

I feel hatred and repulsion for Carlos and Xiao-Mei. Gabrielle said it all as she threw his clothes out. She gave the go-ahead for him to have an affair, but meaningless one-night stand. He was having sex with the housekeeper, who, oddly enough, is their surrogate. And that’s after Gaby gave up a lot of things to do his will. Carlos raped Gaby’s body to make her pregnant. And yet, even going against her ideals, she accepted becoming a mother because of him. He deserved to be kicked out of the house. Xiao-Mei has no shame. And the worst part is that she was still mad at Gaby. Really, honey?

Zach is laughable. I found that, at least for this moment, I really hate this guy. And I think it’s despicable what he does to Paul, who wasn’t a bad father. Simply abandoning him like that just shows how bad this boy is. Mary Alice doesn’t even comment on this in her narrations. I suppose she’s very heartbroken, she gave her life to protect this brat and that’s how he repays everything they’ve done for him.

I so love these flashbacks showing how each of the women came to Wisteria Lane and how Mary Alice met them. And the first impression was the face of each of them. Susan always clumsy, managing the stunt of locking herself inside the moving truck – her hair in the second flashback made me laugh out loud. Bree with all her politeness telling Andrew to recite a monologue so she won’t be judged as a mother for his actions. Lynette in a war with Tom over her career and kids – I can’t help but laugh with her nervous because twins are common in his family, and even more so when she says it’s her “first and last pregnancy”, she had no idea. Gaby and her libido with Carlos !!! And besides, it was wonderful to see Mary Alice again. How friendly, thoughtful she was.

I confess I laughed with Bree telling Orson, the psychiatrist, the woman in the living room, that she’s not crazy. Exactly something a crazy person would say inside a clinic to treat mental illness. But anyway, it is unfortunate that voluntary hospitalization has become such a big problem. Gosh, she just wanted some time off to rest her head, as she was about to have a nervous breakdown. Being drugged and trapped like that is hard to see. Even more considering what motivated her to try to run away like that, right? I hate this psychiatrist deciding what’s best for her just because she’s a patient there. I think the fact that she was admitted by choice should count.

Speaking of Bree’s motivations: it’s not entirely surprising that Matthew was actually Melanie’s killer, considering the fact that the guy allowed her mother to carry out her plan to kill Caleb, for something he hadn’t committed. That says a lot about him. Caleb has mental issues and Matthew is a psychopath as he spent 1 year hiding the truth and has no remorse for what he did. I feel sorry for Betty in all of this, I really do. I really like this character, I feel sorry for her for all this suffering with her children.

I like how simple Susan is. She’s all excited to be living inside the trailer while the house isn’t rebuilt, that’s pretty contagious. Even in the face of these dark moments, she remains up. Mike giving that kiss in front of Mike was GREAT. Too bad he couldn’t hide his intention to propose, bad timing when he went to the store to buy the ring. And Karl is so jealous. He claims to act for Susan’s well-being, but so far he’s only given her trouble. Deciding to buy a house like that just because of Mike’s intentions. Ouch... And as tempting as it is, I don’t want Susan leaving Wisteria Lane. She should accept, but then sell the house to keep the money. After all, even though he wasn’t the one who burned her house down, Karl was the motivation...

Porter spent the day at the pool and still wanted more! Typical child. But it’s actually scary when he loses his balance and falls off the balcony, thank goodness he wasn’t too high... He broke an arm, but the damage could have been worse. This reunion between Lynette and Tom is tense, man. But at least it’s comforting to know that the secret he hides is about fatherhood and not cheating. Lynette pushing him over the chairs!!! And he’s a child conceived before he met and married Lynn. His expression when she says she’s already let him go... Hopefully they’ll face it together. I love that final moment so much when she decides to come home.

Man, it’s so tense when Gaby sees on TV that Carlos is dead, and then gets that call. Too impactful. But then all this sadness for him soon turns to anger, because it’s very clear that he’s cheating on Gaby with Xiao-Mei - it’s not so much the fact that she’s the housekeeper, but because she’s bearing the child . Well, Carlos encouraged Gaby to go to training and said he wouldn’t go with her because he had to do community service. In the end, he paid Ralph and got out. Xiao-Mei runs out of the house asking what Gaby is doing there and begs her not to kill Carlos. And then she finds him in the kitchen all sweaty and weird... Gaby isn’t stupid, she got it.

Finally... Zach stating that Paul is not his father during that visit... That boy is so annoying. Paul may have his faults, but I believe he is, indeed, a good father. He and Mary Alice were great parents. What happened to Deirdre was a tragedy, but he wasn’t even the one who killed her. It’s disturbing how easy Zach finds it to look that man in the eye and say he’s “not his father”, knowing the guy gave his blood to raise him. Zach has sociopathic traits, and that’s worrying. Anyway, the biggest surprise in this arc is Zach having the courage to kill his grandfather just to get his hands on his money. Mary Alice, Paul and Mike killed someone at some point in their lives. But never out of ambition.

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.

FINALLY WE HAVE BREE BACK! I was missing her so much. And she’s back all mysterious and full of secrets. But it was just a matter of connecting the dots... From their dialogue throughout the episode (like the one where Orson said he would take care of the child as his own) and remembering that Danielle was taken away pregnant. From what we know of Bree, she would never allow her own blood to be given up for adoption, for other people to raise. But she also wouldn’t let people know that Danielle got pregnant without having a husband (she’s a conservative after all), and that her father is a delinquent who doesn’t even live on Wisteria Lane anymore. I think it’s unnecessary to come up with this whole plan to be able to keep the child... But anyway, her choice, right? At least they’re not abandoning the baby. But it’s pretty bizarre.

You can see who Lynette got this strong genius from: Stella! Lynette isn’t afraid to speak her mind, to stand up when necessary – sometimes even when it’s unnecessary. And Stella is the same. I like this character and I think she came at the right time. As complicated as the relationship between the two of them as mother and daughter is, you can see that Stella is worried and willing to help in whatever it takes, because she knows what it’s like to face cancer, she’s already lived it in her own skin. It might have been wrong of her to try to find out from Kayla what the family’s problem is with Rick. But I can get away with it, because she wanted to prove a point there: people make mistakes, and people can change. “You can fight me, or the cancer. You won’t have the strength for both.” Shocking.

Susan and Mike’s wedding couldn’t have been more perfect. I LOVED Susan’s idea. They don’t need to have lots of guests, chocolate fountains, drink fountains... Anyway, it doesn’t need to be extravagant, luxurious, to be perfect and intimate. It was very delicate, everything she set up and everything she said to him when he showed up: about Mike being the constant in every “perfect marriage” idea she had. How I love this couple! May everything work out now, they deserve happiness.

Gaby was already questioning the marriage since the previous episode, now she has had an even bigger disappointment. It’s all appearance. It’s always like that with these politicians. You can’t even imagine how she felt listening to that conversation, with Victor seeing it as a victory in marriage that she will help attract votes from Latino people in the state government campaign. Worse: the father-in-law stating that he will control her by buying things. Dude? It doesn’t even look like the Victor who told Gaby before they started dating, that his ex-wife had ended the marriage precisely because of that, for being treated as a “lover”. He felt guilty (allegedly) and is now planning to do the same. Anyway, Gaby was stupid for deciding to marry without love. I hope she gets back with Carlos as soon as possible – she already did, he was her man after marrying another man. How ironic!

And finally, we have this shocking final scene with Edie committing suicide. First: SHE CAN’T!!! And second, it’s surprising that she would take such an extreme action for the sake of a man. As lonely as she feels, she has always appeared to be a balanced and independent woman... Besides, this annoying situation with Carlos was caused by herself. He was honest with her the whole time. How did she want to make him fall in love, by deceiving him in such a lowly way? Using the biggest dream of his life to lock him up? There’s no way to defend her. I just don’t want her to die!

Anyway, another incredible Season Finale, filled with the best DH has to offer. And that was another exceptional season. From the central mystery – which I love, and it’s very well developed, the best with the 1st so far –, to the individual plots of each of the housewives.

Man, I don’t think there was any way around that call from Bree to Ben. Even if they managed to come up with an excuse, analogy, metaphor for her saying with all the letters that she had buried a body, that she had a bad conscience, etc etc. Never that the jury would buy this. Even without a reason to supposedly have committed such a crime, it would doom her. It was Renee’s statement, claiming that she saw Bree with a shovel in the middle of the night, when Alejandro disappeared from the world for good.

Renee’s attitude, by the way, always makes me strange. I understand that she was terrified of losing Ben, and I can try to understand her frustration at being left out of this whole thing – although it was obviously for the best. But I think she was very inconsequential, because the trial was supposed to decide the rest of Bree’s life. After what she said, she showed no regrets, she even said that she “made the right choice” by putting Ben before them. I’m kind of upset about it, as much as I’m glad it all works out for her in the end.

I have fun with Trip giving Bree that kiss and her throwing the truth in his face right away, without a second thought. His kiss activated another side of her. The moments of that trial were all tense and harrowing, especially when Gaby was called to testify again and started talking about Ramon Sanchez being her stepfather, Alejandro – and the scene’s score always makes it even more emotional, it was on point. It is difficult to analyze here. Because on the one hand it’s Gaby and she ran a real risk of being arrested right there, if the questioning went further, I think she would open up. On the other hand, Trip was doing his job: defending the client from the prosecution... Bree later thinking that he gave that kiss just to manipulate her into telling him everything was sad. But I understand her frustration over this. Until the end she honored the promise she made to her friends and continued to protect Gaby and Carlos. A friend like that is for few...

And there we have the climax of the trial! Who would have thought that Karen McCluskey would be responsible for putting an end to it all? That at some point, she would get directly involved in the main plot, even more so at this point? The scene was amazing with her screaming that she took the candlestick and killed the bastard! As I said: friendship... Friendship is everything! And it was wonderful what she said before “confessing” to this crime, about how on Wisteria Lane there is a complicity, loyalty, and need for protection among the residents. The purest reality. It was a very noble act of hers, for it was risky. The prosecution could proceed with the complaint. But luckily they left it aside because of her health condition and old age and she’ll be able to go home, enjoy her last days with Roy... Anyway, wonderful. Karen is the queen of this episode and no one can disagree.

The hug of relief between Bree, Lynette, Susan and Gaby when she was cleared of all charges. MY GIRLS!

And the end... Forever one of the most touching scenes of the series. Roy is very wise when he gets inspired and everything he said to Tom was beautiful and true. Tom taking his words and deciding to declare at once the love he feels for Lynette... Damn! In fact, it was so well written and constructed that you really forget how ridiculous he was this entire season. But Lynette and Tom are a couple for life. With all the mishaps, flaws of both, immaturity... Things we already know. Even with all this, they always found a way to get back to each other, to overcome difficulties. I always admired that. Seeing them getting back together after this period, which by far was the most complicated for them as a couple, is quite a satisfaction. “You you you...”.

My heart can’t take another goodbye...

I vividly remember my shock when I first finished this season and the mystery behind Katherine’s past was revealed, because I never even thought that Dylan wasn’t really Dylan. Watching it again so many times later, I notice that I lacked a greater attention to detail on my part, since from the moment Wayne didn’t find the scar on the girl’s arm and later stated that he didn’t see either him or Katherine in the her features, I could already connect the dots. The one thing I could not have foreseen, therefore, were the circumstances of this exchange.

Seriously, seeing the image of little Dylan under the closet, with her cold arm sticking out, and Katherine’s despair when she found her, is a harrowing thing. Sad to know that the girl ended up losing her life because of that doll. I can’t even imagine the guilt Katherine felt and still feels for all these years. I don’t think the decision to adopt another girl similar to her daughter was the “overcoming” she needed, because the character showed several times this season she still felt very remorseful and never forgot the little one - she cried at the mark left by the closet, and when she went into the forest to visit the grave. I believe she adopted it for the reasons she said, she was afraid of Wayne and what he could do, and also because it was something she needed to at least TRY to stay sane: the presence of a child, for her to love and care for, do everything she would have done if this tragedy hadn’t happened...

This whole situation with Katherine hostage was very tense, with the conviction that she would get out of there dead – but at the same time she was very brave, since she mocked Wayne almost the entire time. And I think it’s sad, but very revolting, that she tried to press charges against him in the past and also in the present, talked about the abuse and the level of dangerousness, and nobody gave a damn because he was a police officer and a friend of the authorities. It was ridiculous for the investigator to call him to say that he had seen that Katherine really was crazy, while Wayne was there kicking Adam in the most cowardly way possible.

I burst out laughing when Bree is pulled into the house. Desperate Housewives giving hints of humor in scenes of pure tension. Anyway, Adam was a hero. Even fucked up, he didn’t rest until he got to the house to rid Katherine of that worm. And under the circumstances, the only way out for Kath was to kill Wayne. There was no other way... It was either that or running away from him for the rest of her life. For me it was acceptable even more considering the threat he made just before. Just silencing the guy forever for this woman who has suffered so much because of him, to have a little peace. And the best thing about these events was seeing the girls unite to help her. Everyone providing alibis – and to think that at the beginning of the episode they were claiming that Katherine would “never be one of them”. They were very wrong.

Not only at that moment, but also when Bree asked (or demanded) their help to make Bob and Lee’s wedding party happen. And I laughed a lot! Especially in that part where she went to get the sculpture. How unlucky. Cell phone dead, car dying too. That image of Bree yelling at the truck driver for help makes me laugh out loud every time I see it. And then at the wedding reception, threatening to rip the guy’s finger off!!! Orson has proved himself useful with all this siege he’s been doing. But I still agree with Bree, he needs to turn himself in and prove that this regret isn’t limited.

Gaby’s part was SENSATIONAL. Carlos all reflective about the universe and then finds out about Ellie’s money was great. And what about the fight Gaby had with Ellie over the bag? The two of them rolling down the stairs and taking Carlos along was so funny. AND HIM CALLING THE POLICE THROUGH THE CLOSET DOOR!!! One of the best scenes of the episode, without a doubt! When it comes to money things change, right? Before, Ellie was just “I love you”, look at that... But I feel sorry for her death. I don’t think she was a bad person. Of all the houses on Wisteria Lane, she went straight into the one that had a madman holding the owner hostage...

Finally, the scene of Susan recognizing that she doesn’t know how she’s going to live without Julie around is so touching and sensitive. I love the mother-daughter relationship between these two so much. The friendship, loyalty and trust that exists there is admirable. It was cute of Mike deciding to help with this internship with the money he inherited from his grandfather, by the way.

And we have this five-year time jump with drastic changes! The biggest being Gaby! With two daughters, and looking totally different than usual. Motherhood changes people. And so is Bree, now a businesswoman. Andrew working as her advisor, arranging interviews with major media outlets surprised me. Lynette continues to have problems with the twins, now teenagers, they have become young criminals, help! Katherine remained on Wisteria Lane! And she joined the group once and for all. And Susan, man... ANOTHER MAN? Where’s Mike?!! It’s not possible!

I think out of all of them, this is my favorite Season Premiere. It’s a very perfect episode, with good plots, returns of characters that I consider interesting (and that didn’t have a good conclusion, so they resurface to close it).

I, for one, am very excited about Paul returning to Wisteria Lane with this vengeful air, after being despised by everyone. And Felicia has ALWAYS been a great freaky villain for me. Everything she did with him there in Season 2 was great, until she decided to take him out of circulation altogether and put him in jail. Now the situation is reversed. I feel sick when he whispers to her that he really killed Martha, the first time he’s ever said that in any way. She already knew, but I imagine his audacity must have contributed even more to her hatred. “Paul Young has no friends on that street. I have”. I already want to know who is undercover for Felicia Tillman there!

And the girls all shocked by Paul’s return was so funny. Gaby justifying, “in our defense, we thought you were a psychopath”. MASTER. Poor Susan, she was so desperate for money that she didn’t even bother to check the tenant’s name, she could have avoided that - although the Bolen house which is his old house should already be for sale, he might have bought it. there. He wants a reckoning, that’s clear. After all, as he said, he doesn’t hate them “just a little”. It remains to be seen what he intends.

Man, Susan’s situation seems to only get worse... Every day is a different surprise. Now this bank refusal to take out a loan, the possibility of Mike having to travel far away to save up some extra money. Looking again I didn’t even find the apartment that small, I think it’s an ok size. But I’m sorry she left Wisteria Lane because of his problems. Anyway, this arc of hers will pay off a lot. I burst out laughing when Maxine introduces her business and Susan is stunned. “Shame on you!”. And the woman revealing that even her own daughter is working as a “dirty housewife”, help. I really think it’s good that this plot will be more humorous, Susan is wonderful in that. And I laughed a lot with the jewelry part! She saying that she was hurt by Renee’s comment!!

It’s a shock to learn that Juanita is not the Solis’ biological daughter, as she is so similar to Celia. Imagine suddenly finding out that you raised someone else’s child and that your biological daughter is out there in the world, who knows where? As much as they love and will always have Juanita as their daughter (this will NEVER change), this feeling is unimaginable. At first glance I agree with Carlos for deciding to hide it, it would be horrible for Gaby to find out such a thing. But we also know that some truths always find a way to come out and this plot was not introduced by chance, right? And on the other side we have Gaby hiding secrets too. I felt sorry for her when she told Bree that Carlos would find a way to blame her for the hit-and-run… Anyway, some of that weight, Bree lifted off her back. It took TOO LONG, she should have spoken a lot sooner. But better late than never anyway... Carlos is much more explosive, he would go crazy if he discovered an omission like that.

BTW: I don’t think it’s bad that he talks about Mama Solis fondly. Her problem was that she was overprotective of him and didn’t like Gaby. And she suspected the betrayal thing, in fact, the hit-and-run occurred precisely because she caught her in bed with John and ran away from him, who was trying to retrieve the camera. Carlos would never speak ill of his mother or paint an image of her that wasn’t good. Mom is a mom and she was great for him. Ah, I have to say that I think Carlos is very charming without his beard.

Orson’s relationship with the physical therapist? Could not care less. And of course their involvement started when he and Bree were still together... He’s been out of the house for a week and they’re already making plans to taste wine together? Laughs. But anyway, glad he got out of her life. I LOVE Bree getting involved in this new “project” indoors and even more, the possibility of getting involved with Keith. Her face when he highlights her beauty and how she would look good in a room with a certain color was passionate. Besides that Keith is hot. So Bree can only win!

Finally: Renee Perry! She is very sincere. Her and Lynette needling each other all the time was funny. I laugh so much at their disagreement that brings out the revelation of the ménage. The faces of the girls at the table and Tom’s reaction at the door are always priceless. Anyway, Renee was exaggerated in thinking Lynette has an inferior life, “below expectations”, but she is a character that can pay off and that has interesting layers. I myself feel sorry when she reveals that she is being cheated on by her husband and has been replaced by the other. We’ll see what good she brings us over the course of the episodes.

Lynette and Tom: child-making machine. It was totally unexpected. Tom claiming they’re both old was funny. But the best reaction is Lynette in the office, asking the doctor if he was sure her motion sickness wasn’t a result of cancer. She would rather have cancer again than be pregnant. That’s so Lynette. And the worst thing is that the pregnancy is with twins again... They barely raised Preston and Porter, both of them still continue to give them a headache. And now they are expecting two more at once. Tom will have to let go of that decision to go to college again and look for a job, as Lynn will have to step away from the company. Everything will go back to what it was before.

Orson could have been beaten up by that guy for all the things he did this season. My anger at him only grows. It was very annoying of him convincing himself that Bree hadn’t sent anyone to attack him and telling her he was going to stay, and taking his shirt to her to fix. Fuck, just because she can’t have him beaten doesn’t mean she still wants to persist in this doomed marriage. And it’s entirely Orson’s fault, because Bree really tried... Speaking of her, the scene of Karl demonstrating his desire for her is WONDERFUL. What chemistry! Bree melting all over after the kiss was funny. It would be better if it happened after the divorce, because at this point, if Orson finds out, he can claim she’s cheating...

The “beautiful Ana” making the Scavo boys work on the house. Even Parker had a crush on her. Juanita asking Ana to teach how to make the boys obey!!! Anyway, it didn’t take long and Ana has already shown that she will be a very complicated girl. She’s like a teenage Kayla. The first signs are already there: she spoke in an inappropriate tone with Gaby and then played the victim to Carlos - who, predictably, scolded Gaby for it, just like Tom did with Lynette. It doesn’t matter if Ana spoke thickly, does it? Please... But Gaby doesn’t take any insults, we can expect some clashes then.

Finally, we have the conclusion of Dave’s arc. Man, I always get very tense with Susan’s apprehension from the moment she discovers the truth and tries to hide it. Then that moment of the roadside confrontation, MJ trying to hide, Susan knocked out. And of course, Dave’s final plan, trying to make MJ’s death poetic by having Mike crash his car at the same spot where his wife and daughter died. I am very touched when at the last moment he has a vision with his daughter sitting in the back of the car... Because I find this story very strong and very sad. Him telling MJ to get out of the car and trying to kill himself in that accident... I’m speechless. In the end, there was poetry: three years earlier, the accident at that point had been responsible for the breakdown of Mike and Susan’s marriage. And now, this whole conflict is what brought them together.

Dave for me was a fascinating character and very well built. Deep down, as we can see from the flashbacks, he felt guilty about the family’s death, as he encouraged both of them to go out for ice cream alone, as he had work. I think this final flash is very strong with him creating a whole scene in his head, in which he prevents them from leaving, promising to give them his full attention. And it’s very impressive when they show his face, with this really psychopathic expression, really crazy, in the psychiatric hospital. I can’t imagine the burden, how heavy his head must be not only for the dangerous man he’s become, but also for the guilt he feels for what happened. That’s why I think this ending is GENIAL and very cohesive. If it wasn’t suicide, he had to go to jail.

In addition: I feel sorry for Katherine when she returns and the girl says that Mike left and asked to say that he is “sorry”. I get so frustrated with Mike in this story, because the whole time he knew that he didn’t reciprocate her feelings and that he really loved Susan. Katherine gave him a chance to be honest, minutes before he had to leave, and he denied his feelings for his ex. You just don’t play with anyone like that...

Anyway, I always found this season a little weaker than the predecessors, but I managed to like it a little more now watching it again. The “mystery” is weak, as it’s not really a mystery but a revenge plot - early on in the season we discover Dave’s motivations and his target. And I like the development of that, how Dave tries to get closer and make things happen, but there’s always some kind of unforeseen that thwarts his plans, like the fire situation where he found himself cornered and falsely denounced Porter; Karen delving into his past; Tom finding out about the tip... Then Edie’s death. Anyway. The time jump never really bothered me. Even with the drastic and abrupt changes (especially Gaby), I always found it interesting to follow this new routine. And the stories that came with them for me were all great and well developed. Then...

Gaby is a piece of work. I find it so funny when she explains to Juanita that Carlos’ family sucks, that she hates them, that she uses the jewelry to make them feel bad. But that they go to their meetings because they are “family”. And I really love the moment of Aunt Connie’s announcement, talking about having a few months to live and Gaby opening the can at that same moment. Her behavior when she learned that Connie needed someone to take care of her niece was also funny. Removing jewelry, hugging her daughters. I think it’s cool that Carlos wanted to do something nice and important like that, and Gaby refusing was being very selfish, since they have resources, a big house... The problem is only in this dialogue between Connie and the other woman. Ana goes to their house with some secret, which doesn’t seem to be a good thing... Soon they’ll find out. What will it be?

Tom seems to live in a loop, it’s usually like that, he gets excited about something, tries to do it, it doesn’t work, he feels like a failure... But really, I can’t be mad at him in this episode. Because I didn’t see anything wrong with wanting to go back to school, I don’t think he’s old enough for that. Lynette was the one who was too wrong to want to control this decision, she manipulated him to make him get drunk and miss the exam... And in the end, his idea wasn’t isolated, nor was it a whim. It had a purpose behind it that she herself recognized to be “brilliant”. I feel really sorry for him, really... When he apologizes for letting her down, having no idea that she pulled the strings for him to fail, it’s frustrating. I hope he gets another chance to take the exam at the university.

How can a man as ridiculous and oblivious to himself as Orson? I think it’s funny when he says he tried but couldn’t come up with an answer, a justification for Bree hiding things from him. He psychologically blackmailed her into getting a job at her company, making a show of leaving her room and only coming back when she did exactly what he wanted. He put on another unnecessary show when he learned that Andrew’s salary was higher than his. He stole a lot of things from the people next door – even Bree’s earrings he stole. He confessed that he was doing it to hurt her. And now he sees no reason? Please. I loved Bree so much that she didn’t care anymore, that he could take whatever he wanted, and that the only thing she wanted was to get out of the marriage. WONDERFUL. And Orson, not satisfied, went to blackmail again. He’s too nasty. Bree deserves better than that. I hope she doesn’t give in, that she goes to Karl and finds a way to get rid of his blackmail without harm. I want Orson to fuck himself A LOT, to stop being so mean and manipulative.

How Katherine accepts such a thing... I don’t understand. She knows, she’s seeing before her eyes that Mike still has feelings for Susan. She is aware that the proposal only came about because seeing Susan “moving on” with Jackson was kind of a trigger for Mike. To insist on this, just with the idea that she “can make him happy, he just has to forget about her”, is to look for disappointment. And Mike himself is terrible at it, since he fed Katherine’s feelings and hopes, being obvious that he really loves someone else. I like Katherine, I didn’t want her to get hurt from this relationship, but everything indicates that she will be disappointed.

Guys, Dave is an unbalanced man. He suffered a psychotic break when his family died, he became dangerous, he was being controlled with medication. There’s no reason to seek coherence in his decision to want to kill an innocent child, as this only further illustrates his madness. And it’s worth remembering that in his head, the way he sees things, he does have coherence. What he wants is to make Mike and Susan go through the same pain as him, which is losing someone they love, a child, etc. For him, ending the person responsible for the death of his family is too easy a way out. He wants to impose suffering. I think it’s pretty heavy – that scene where he’s determined to walk down the street towards MJ to shoot him dead is very tense and disturbing. And now he’s one step away from getting what he wants, with this trip and no one not dreaming what his intentions are. Too bad the police didn’t find Jackson sooner, I think there could even be a preventive arrest for Dave now that they know he was in the warehouse where Dr. Heller has been found.

And here’s one of the best episodes I’ve ever seen in my life! For me, the best “tragedy” episode of the show, even more so because it is a natural phenomenon that appears to devastate the lives of all the characters in some way. It’s very strong and full of impact!

Mike’s addiction caused Susan to fall down the stairs. He held her, she tried to free herself, and she ended up losing her balance. And it was also the abstinence that made him get nervous and attack the doctor like that, resulting in the handcuffs... I always think it’s very sad and I get very distressed by his expressions when he’s handcuffed to the chair. He’s squirming and can barely breathe. And everything is occasioned by the need for the remedy. He was already very dependent on the pill and he needs to seek help, he won’t be able to overcome this alone. I feel sorry for him and I feel sorry for Susan too, because it’s not easy... She’s pregnant and she’s having to deal with something like this right now. But I liked that she totally imposed herself and demanded that he seek rehab while there is still time. If this continues, things will only get worse. He needs a boost.

Edie was very bold by impersonating Gaby and taking Carlos’ documents. And the accountant warned, huh? “I washed my hands, these are the only documents”, the only way Carlos had to access the money. With the fight between the two and the papers flying (I always laugh with this clash), we can consider Carlos a poor man now. But the best thing about this sequence was precisely the forgiveness that occurred between them. I think Edie made a lot more mistakes than Gabrielle, and she ruined the relationship she had with Carlos BEFORE she was cheated on. He’d already broken up with her when he hooked up with Gaby at the wedding. In addition, she plotted, blackmailed, and then even told Victor everything with the worst of intentions... But as I had already commented, she did all this out of anger and because she acquired a worrying dependence on Carlos, since she had fallen in love. really for him. It was nice to see her admitting that and Gaby also apologizing for having cheated on her. Forgiveness is essential!

Victor left the hospital early just to go after Gaby and Carlos to kill them. Wow. That moment when he fought Carlos outside with the tornado practically on top of them was very intense!!! And the moment Victor is hit is surprising. His death is so ironic and bizarre. Too bad Carlos ended up injured, he was hit so hard on the head by the object carried by the wind, he even lost consciousness.

Sylvia didn’t lie about the affair with Adam, but I could tell she was pretty unbalanced. pretty crazy. Her talking with the utmost pride that she’d licked Adam’s tattoo. And Bree was pretty reckless inviting her to “tea” just to get the secrets out. Look at the situation they got into... And I feel sorry for Katherine. She really believed in Adam, that he hadn’t done anything to Sylvia, that it was all just her imagination... Sad. The expression on her face says it all. I love Bree so much supporting her by holding her hand. They can be friends, after all they are so similar. BTW: what about Sylvia being carried away by the tornado? HELP “Here I go!”. And she flew away!

I will NEVER be able to understand why Karen did all that with Lynette and Tom over the cat. Because if there’s one thing Lynette has proven, it’s that she’s Karen’s friend and doesn’t just go after her when she needs favors. And besides, even the “favors” are paid, Karen even asked for a raise after that situation in which she was accused of killing her husband and such. In Season 1, without any commitment, Lynette offered to take Karen to the doctor, to buy her medicine. Anyway, she was way too grumpy, and I think it was unfounded anger... About the cat: of course it needs protection. Lynette didn’t let him go or leave him anywhere, she suggested that they give the pet another space. I think it’s absurd for Karen to see Tom with a red face, swollen eyes, having trouble breathing and still allowing the cat down there... What if he passed out? What if his throat closed up?

But anyway, these final moments are tense. Especially this last scene that, once again, brings an impeccable show of acting by Felicity Huffman. I ALWAYS cry. I always get goosebumps when she desperately screams for Tom and then they show that Karen’s house is gone. They make it even more impressive when they open up the plan to show the total destruction of Wisteria Lane. WHAT A EPISODE AND WHAT A SCENE! One of the most memorable and intense I’ve ever seen in my life.

The first official tragedy episode of the series, with a situation of great proportions. It’s also one of the best episodes over the eight seasons. I have a preference for another episode of disaster that is yet to come, but as I mentioned once, this one really brings together all the elements that make Desperate Housewives a unique show. We have a distressing and catastrophic event. Tense characters and facing their limit, dealing with guilt, reflecting on life. And it’s all packed with smart, pure humor.

Carolyn completely hallucinated. Who knew we’d see this woman do something like this? And she didn’t give a damn about the gravity of her actions. She proved to be a true murderous, bloodthirsty and cruel sociopath. Holding innocent people hostage, shooting at them (she shot the employee just because he tried to leave, the first one hit), and all because of her husband who is a cheating bastard? What did other people have to do with it, man?

When Carolyn shoots Nora, you realize that she really isn’t there to joke around and that she won’t hesitate to kill anyone who crosses her path. This death, by the way, is very surprising and unexpected! Even more for the reasons... As I mentioned in the previous episodes, Nora was a very difficult person to live with. But she worked so well within the comedy of the series and I loved every one of the interactions she had with Lynette in these episodes. Kiersten Warren did a great job on the character’s tone. Crazy, hysterical, scandalous, but with a certain amount of humor. Despite the plots to try to be with Tom, she didn’t deserve to have such a tragic and sad end.

Lynette owned the episode. From the moment Nora was shot, Felicity Huffman shined – no wonder she was nominated for an Emmy for this performance. I felt destroyed with Lynette trying to stanch Nora’s blood and making that promise to take good care of Kayla... And of course, the most tense moment of the entire episode: when she gets mad at Carolyn who says she killed Nora for her, and starts throwing all those truths in her face. FUCK. That was tense as fuck. It was strong! It was true! Lynette didn’t tell any lies, the problem is that it was very risky to say that to an armed woman, possessed by her husband’s betrayal and who was distributing shots for the sake of distributing. Lynette was very lucky to have only been grazed in the shoulder. It could have been a lot worse. The new neighbor helped by throwing that can at her head. And Austin was very brave trying to keep Carolyn from reaching for the gun again. The equally strong ending with that woman taking the fatal shot to stop the madwoman once and for all...

There’s no way to hold back the tears from the sequence in which the hostages leave the market. The reunions... Julie hugging Susan and Austin. Tom running into Lynette with that sad score in the background. And finally, we have this final scene that completely destroys me, with Mary Alice. Lynette begging to help her friend, Mary Alice explaining that they can’t prevent what they can’t predict. And she finally freed Lynn from that guilt of not having done more for her. Seriously, I can’t even explain how much this dream and these dialogues affect me. This series is everything to me.

Gabrielle and Carlos reaching the apex of the war. I laugh so hard when he shows her the recording of her screaming his name during sex. And of course, the later scenes with the total destruction of the house – Mrs. McCluskey seeing it all was hilarious. Anyway, the tragedy made both reflect on the path that this separation was taking. Gaby stating that she could easily have been in Carolyn’s shoes, given what they were becoming. I think they will now be normal, although separate...

Susan using the megaphone in front of the market is one of my favorite scenes. Ian was really sweet to run back from the airport as soon as he saw what was happening. And it was really nice to see Susan supporting Tom, and vice versa. About Julie and Austin: now it’s more than clear that they’re going to get involved for good. He’s not one of the best influences, he’s even gotten her into unnecessary trouble. But the tension and attraction between them is clear. We’ll see... BTW: I die with Edie being overheard by Carolyn and being threatened with death. Poor thing!

Bree feeling guilty… “She hurt me, I had to hurt her back.” I feel sorry for her, none of this should have happened, no one should react like that. In the end, Bree wasn’t in the market, but it was like she was… Stuck with her own regrets. She certainly learned a lesson from that.

The 100th episode of Desperate Housewives is very special. And it’s remarkable. It is perhaps the most touching chapter the show has presented so far. Very delicate, reflective, impactful... And it gets even more credit for revolving around a character that has never appeared before. Eli Scruggs was never even mentioned, but the script quickly manages to make the audience form a strong bond with him. It’s only 43 minutes, but in the first scene, you already feel sorry for Eli. Then it’s just crying for the man he was and the difference he made in everyone’s lives on Wisteria Lane.

I am shocked at the “impression” Gaby makes on girls the first time she invites them to poker. No wonder they were talking bad about her, she was really mean... Dude, what was she saying she wanted to shoot herself in the head for being in the suburbs for a month, and patting Mary Alice’s arm? That reference made me laugh. But it was beautiful indeed, Eli not only encouraging her to make friends, but also to fix the mistake she had made, and thus not be so alone. If it weren’t for him, maybe Gaby would never have gotten over her pride to truly open up like she did in the scene where she went to apologize to the girls. Exposing real feelings, that she was alone, that her husband is never home. Also, it’s wonderful to see how Gaby has evolved since then. It’s okay that she had to get poor for that to happen, but it’s still a positive change.

Lynette’s desperation to get back to her career, to get back to work, led to that terrifying moment of carelessness. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I think this scene is very strong, when Eli walks in with Penny in his arms and Lynette realizes what happened. Felicity’s performance right now is out of this world. Her look, her movements, her voice... Everything is perfect, she perfectly evokes and shows her feelings. Eli was wonderful trying to calm her down, reminding her that she has a lot on her mind, and that with the newborn baby she has a “new job”. With a gesture and a few words, he changed Lynette’s priorities, who decided at that moment to abandon any idea of a job - and she only returned to the business, it’s worth remembering, after that situation of Tom not getting the vice presidency, resigning, and switching places with her. In addition: I like the flashback to the barbecue at Bree’s house. Lynette comparing her uterus to a stove is priceless.

The idea for Bree to write a cookbook was born soooo many years ago, long before the series even started. And it was very frustrating to see that Rex tried to stop her, in the most idiotic way possible, as if she was incapable of doing anything other than taking care of the house, doing the laundry, making them food. The most curious thing about this character is that as ridiculous as he is (and during most of the 1st season, he was ridiculous with Bree), I can’t be mad at him!!! Years go by, I rewatch the series over and over again, and I still enjoy it when he shows up – I think it has a lot to do with the fact that the actor is charismatic. But anyway, it was VERY touching Eli saving the book that Bree, totally disillusioned, threw in the trash. And handing it back right after Rex’s funeral service. Without him, she might never have gone ahead with this idea and become the successful, recognized, acclaimed businesswoman she is today.

Susan nearly bursting into tears over Mike was really sad, man. The first flashback too, when she found out there was more than one woman in Karl’s life - but this one had a more comedic edge. The second was much stronger. Eli’s speech to Susan impressed me so much, it’s something I ALWAYS remember. He never got involved, never thought love was something worth so much effort. And the battle that Susan has fought since he met her to be happy has shown him that it is indeed worth it. I think it’s so beautiful and so reflective...

Finally, we have the best and most emotional flashback of the episode: Mary Alice. What an extraordinary character... Eli Scruggs changed the lives of many people. But his life was forever marked by the kindness and compassion of a woman who was always willing to reach out to anyone in need. I can’t even describe what I feel every time she notices his shoe is punctured, she understands that he’s in need, and offers the vase to fix it. She delivers the cards to the neighborhood, helps him get clients and thus makes him have a much more comfortable financial situation. That final moment destroys me completely. Everyone outside, Martha Huber being inconvenient and exaggerated in reporting the bloodshed from Mary Alice’s suicide, and Eli there in the corner, alone... Man, there’s no way to hold back tears, especially with that sad soundtrack. It’s very touching when he makes the promise that he would never stop helping anyone again if he could...

What a beautiful human being Eli Scruggs was. And what a wonderfully well-written episode. It was a break from the season’s storylines in celebration of the 100-episode mark, and it was flawless from start to finish. The way flashbacks connect to the current moments of our housewives. And of course, the fact that we get so attached to a character that has just been introduced. I only have love for Desperate Housewives. This is the show of my life.

I can’t deal with this “friend” of Jane’s during her funeral, man. What a sick and really crazy woman talking about “offering a shoulder” to Ian (clearly with other intentions) the very next day. Speaking explicitly of hooking him, of using his loneliness to get what she wanted. Susan made a mistake, because she knew that Ian was already committed to her, and that she was safe. But I don’t know, I think in her place I wouldn’t be able to hold back if I heard someone talking about conquering the guy who’s in a relationship with me.

Then the madwoman goes and proves that she really is mad, exposing the situation in front of everyone. If Ian was going to move on with her the next day, that was fine! But him already being involved with someone else is reason to turn him into a traitor, and Susan into a “slut”, as she said... But anyway, despite having been a funny scene due to Susan’s reactions and expressions to the exposure, I felt sorry for her. And Ian was such a cutie deciding that they don’t have to hide anymore.

Tom has already shown a fragile masculinity in the face of Lynette’s authority in previous episodes - at the beginning of season 2 mainly, when she went back to work and he stayed at home. But I don’t think that’s entirely the case here. Just as Lynette was his boss at Ed’s company, so Tom is her boss at the restaurant. She’s the manager, but he’s the one who owns it, who came up with the idea, who ran it all. And the warning he gave her in front of everyone was an agreement between them. It wasn’t like he suddenly started screaming, without warning or anything, just for the pleasure of doing so, right? I also believe that employees may not respect him or see him as a boss if his orders are disobeyed or ignored. Anyway, I love Tom, I love Lynette, I love the complicity of these two. I LOVE A COUPLE! They talk, share, discuss. They really are partners and this has become rare.

Austin crying and getting drugged by Julie was pathetic. He’s fully responsible for getting dumped, he didn’t value what he had with her. I hate those who do these things wrong with a conscience and then keep complaining as if they were wronged. He deserved to be fired anyway, but the perks that Tom mentioned with his hiring are tempting.

I HATE Zach sabotaging Gaby’s night. I hate him interfering in her life like that. I find this “friendship” thing too bizarre, and him wanting them to bond as a couple is even harder to digest. The lawyer might as well have said straight away that he was leaving because he was in danger of losing his job. He even commented briefly, “my job is on the line”, but Gaby didn’t even realize what it could be. The final moment had me worried. He spent a long time watching her finish the bottle of wine and then showed up with that gift showing a false surprise that she was home. And that creepy look he gave her...

Gloria is not kidding!! She’s totally unbalanced too. Alma isn’t far behind, but Gloria is more psychotic. So much so that she locked her in the attic to prevent her from going to the police. And now she’s done this to Bree, arranged an accident for her to fall from that height down the stairs. Andrew worried and threatening Orson on behalf of his mother was beautiful and surprising. “You don’t know bad Andrew, but you will.” AMEN, BROTHERS? After causing her so much suffering, now he has become a protector. It doesn’t do more than the obligation, in fact.

I understand Mike going directly after Orson, as bad as it was. But I imagine it must be very revolting for you to regain your memory and remember that the man who is directly involved in Monique’s case, who has been at her house behaving very suspiciously, is his neighbor. Who pretended not to know her. That saw him being arrested on that charge. I would be pissed. We have this problem now, Orson falling off the top of the hospital. Mike might get off Monique’s charge, but depending on what happens to Orson...

The coincidence at the beginning of the episode is curious. A Van De Kamp running over a Juanita Solis. I burst out laughing when Gaby says they’re trying to eliminate all the Juanitas on the planet. And that she just won’t tell Carlos because she didn’t like her mother-in-law. I also die with her despair to learn that Juanita doesn’t have the same blood type as them – in fact, I found the way that nurse handled the matter very unethical, making very mocking assumptions when she should be strictly professional. The invention of “sexony” to justify the possible “French side” of her daughter was brilliant. Anyway, I felt sorry for her for the guilt she felt thinking she had cheated on Carlos. And I was even more sorry for her reaction to discovering the truth. This secret didn’t last long and given the situation, Carlos couldn’t hide it anymore. Unimaginable what they must be feeling. It must be horrible knowing that your DNA is somewhere in the country, not knowing where...

Susan with one of the best plots in the character’s history on the show. Maxine giving the tips on how to act on the webcam was priceless, especially the scenes with Susan putting all this learning into action, I laugh SO MUCH with the faces and mouths she makes, sensualizing to clean everything. I laugh even more when Mike comes home with all that fire and she tries so hard to get the computer off. Her show almost turns into porn. But anyway, it is “fast” money, she had good results and has already managed to pay off some of her debts. But I’m sorry that she has to lie, and that she feels bad about doing so. I just hope everything works out and she gets back to Wisteria Lane as soon as possible.

Another one that made me laugh absurdly was Bree. Man, her clear sigh when she walks into the kitchen and sees Keith shirtless was just too much for me, other than her getting all clumsy about things. But I can’t blame her, Keith besides being beautiful, has a body like that... I LOVED Karen giving that advice and making Bree go back on her decision to fire him. And even more so that he decided to come back. She ran over two people in the same episode!!! BTW: Andrew saying he saw her looking at Keith’s ass, and Bree all pissed off, was hilarious.

I can’t understand: if postpartum depression doesn’t exist for men, why the hell did a doctor tell Tom he has it? Wouldn’t it be more appropriate, then, to just say that he’s developing depression? Even if it’s triggered by the insecurities he’s feeling now that he has a new baby at home... But anyway, the problem with this character is just that: he can’t evolve. I love Tom and Lynette as a couple, maybe because of the complicity and trust that exists there... No matter how much problems they face, arguments, disagreements, they always find a way to overcome difficulties, and in the end they always support each other. Maybe that keeps me from feeling angry at him like most people do. But it’s exhausting because in EVERY season he appears with a new midlife crisis. Watching it again now, I can see that the writers got it wrong in Tom’s development. It’s good that they address depression, address those insecurities (the thing Lynette said about getting it into her head that she might not be alive to see Paige get married, since they’re older now, throws those conflicted feelings wide open), but it could come with another character. . With Tom it’s always the same key. I am sorry for that.

I don’t even think Renee was getting involved. I just think she offered to listen to someone who wanted to talk. She only threw it in Lynette’s face when she heard those accusations about destroying other people’s lives for sport and then feeling like a big deal for being able to patch it up. I don’t think she did that. Apart from that she still gave clarity to Lynette, who offered to have a conversation with her husband about his feelings, fears, etc... Anyway. The thing only gets hard to digest when they drop this bomb that Renee and Tom have a “past” that Lynette must never discover...

Beth arrives at Wisteria Lane in such an awkward manner, it’s impossible not to laugh. But then the scenes with Paul are suffocating, when he tries to coerce her into having sex with him, and she is visibly uncomfortable, scared. Not to mention it’s weird, right? She married him in jail, they communicated a lot by letters. And in the end she reveals that she never expected him to actually get out of there. So why did she get married? What’s the point of telling someone she was married to a man in prison on a murder charge?

This episode is so beautiful, so strong and reflective! I always look forward to it when I start this season, because it always manages to move me no matter how many times I watch it.

Staying with Karl, Susan would only have more frustrations in her life. She would never be able to trust him again. So much so that she got into this habit of eating whenever she was nervous, anxious, and she ended up getting fat – I think the characterization is great. I think her life would follow these same paths, with few differences. The suffering would be inevitable, because he would never change that behavior and the worst thing: he would be the one to make the decision to leave her, as if she had done something wrong, not him. In addition, Susan would still miss the chance to get to know Mike better and be with him – who appears with a pregnant woman at the end of the flash, indicating that it would be Edie. It was much better as it actually happened. And I thought it was great that, despite the impact of the news of Karl’s death, Susan in the end felt “grateful”. Not because he died, but because she has the life she has now, stable, with a husband who loves her...

Bree’s “if...” I didn’t want it to be that way, but I also think she would end up very disappointed in Karl if the wedding actually took place. He did it with whoever he got involved with: Susan, and then Edie. Despite the wonderful chemistry between the two and they always make for great scenes, eventually Bree would suffer just like Susan, so... About Orson: the only thing I’m really sorry about, because I thought it was pretty strong, was this revelation that he died alone and was only found two days later, no one missed him. I repeat: just a vision like that to make me feel a little apathy for him, because I think that’s something no one deserves. I just don’t like this attempt to humanize Orson. To me, nothing in the world justifies the things he did in season 5 out of pure tantrum, envy and rancor. And all this masquerading as love? Please. It’s not enough for Bree to feel guilty anymore, I don’t want to see her softening up with him. Worse, knowing now that he might become paraplegic, she shouldn’t send him away. Because guilt always speaks louder. I cannot accept this.

Gaby totally freaked out in her parallel reality, wanting to force a dream, a special gift that clearly didn’t fit her daughter. I found all this very sad, for Gaby who was so fixated on this bad idea, and especially for Celia, who would have her childhood destroyed in this reality, unable to make friends, unable to fit in. The moment in the future showing the deterioration of the house and Gaby insisting on this dream, even with Celia (surprisingly “old” for her age) trying to show that it’s not something she wanted, that was strong... And her accepting to do one more test because of Gaby’s selfishness. On the way they still lost Carlos, they lost Juanita. BTW: I also love the characterization of the old Gaby and how she doesn’t lose her habits - this time, even in an even more decadent situation than when Carlos was blind, she didn’t give up her vanity. At least she tries, right? In the current period, I love her so much recognizing that Celia is special even though she doesn’t do anything.

The very careful nurse asking Angie not to be mad at God for Mona’s death was funny. If only she could imagine... Her “if...” is also good, it gives a bigger glimpse of the whole story. We now know that the man’s death was accidental, she was partly to blame, but she had no intention of taking anyone’s life. As it has terrorism involved, it can be assumed that they tried (succeeded) to blow something up with a bomb. And most importantly, there is a “mentor”, Patrick Logan. Which, oddly enough, is who Angie has been running from all these years, above the police. Someone dangerous, because he terrifies her. In addition: I also find it very sad when she is sentenced to life in prison in front of Danny and he stands there calling for her. Such a thing is unimaginable. So sorry for them!

Finally, we have Lynette’s “if…”, the most impactful, moving one of them all. Not only because of the strong story presented, but also because of the surreal and flawless interpretation of Felicity Huffman, a master in the drama sequences. It all made me teary-eyed. The initial flash with physical therapy and Lynette desperately thinking she couldn’t go through with it. The conversation with Tom was crucial for her to see things in a different way and understand that she was indeed capable of doing that. And of course, the second moment, with Patrick angrily wanting his mother to make him a sandwich and Lynette deciding he had to do it himself. Man, I can’t hold back the tears. Seeing her with that expression, trembling, crying for hearing her son’s difficulty, holding back not to intervene, was awesome, to say the least. It was necessary. “I won’t always be here.” He needs to learn and overcome within his own reality. The final flash was beautiful, with Patrick graduating from a law university, being the speaker of the class, making that WONDERFUL speech about overcoming and unconditional and unquestionable love from mother to son.

On top of that, they put this scene of Tom revealing to Lynette that they lost one of the babies. There’s no way to hold back the tears. Gaby going to be supportive – not only to thank her for Lynette’s heroic act of saving Celia, but also for being the only one of the girls who’s had a miscarriage and knows what she’s going through. Glad the reconciliation came soon. Enough of the war between these two great friends.

In short, this was the tragedy that most victimized well-known characters and caused the most damage. Karl and Mona, who were long on the series. Lynette’s abortion. Paraplegic Orson... Too many twists in the characters’ lives at once.

Again: there is no way to defend Gaby and Carlos. It just doesn’t. I think it’s ridiculous that Gaby is playing the victim, and painting Lynette as a great villain, as if she has a determination to destroy them. We know it’s not like that. Carlos did it all wrong (and with Gaby’s full support), took Lynette’s job and gave it to someone else, completely humiliated her by sending her into that tiny room to force her to quit. When he saw that he wasn’t going to get anything, he gave her a ton of time-limited work to do, knowing she couldn’t make it. And he fired her for “just cause” (it seems) just to avoid the possible problems he would have, for getting rid of a pregnant woman just because she was pregnant. Carlos was a jerk. Lynette was wrong in lying, but it was harmless, she had a greater reason and she didn’t harm ANYONE, on the contrary, she just proved her worth.

Gaby was the height of selfishness in this episode - and I say that loving the character too much, but there’s no way to keep ignoring certain attitudes. As I said earlier, Lynette is really considerate, because insisting on making amends with a person who refuses to acknowledge that they contributed a lot to the situation getting to this point, and also refuses to listen to her, is fucked up. I found it laughable when she told Lynette that she was incapable of putting herself in her shoes. We know who didn’t show much empathy, even though they were aware of the Scavo’s financial situation and the livelihood of that family. I will always argue that Lynette did the right thing to pursue her rights and seek a lawyer. Gaby’s apology came after the unnecessary humiliation she was subjected to. How does it work in their minds? “I will trample, humiliate, despise and fire, then I apologize”. And that’s it? Should the person who has been humiliated just accept being humiliated and then accept the excuses, can they never try to defend themselves from an injustice?

No surprise Katherine pointing out Mike as responsible for the stab... Biggest surprise was the fairy tale she made up for Dylan – in fact, IT’S GOOD that Susan had the idea to summon her, because it makes things so much easier. Making up that she married Mike and putting on Susan’s back everything HER HERSELF was doing all this time, the stalking through the night, the wedding scene, the teasing. It was already very clear that Katherine was not rational, she lost her balance and this episode tried to show that even more. I do feel sorry for seeing her in that situation, especially when she freaks out and runs around the hospital after Mike, regrets that Dylan came back, etc etc... Heavy. As irritating as she was, I don’t know, I can empathize. Did she delude herself? Yes, a lot, because she knew Mike still had feelings for Susan. But he also fed it a lot. Let’s not forget that Katherine was totally lonely when he walked into her life and how things turned out for the two of them... Suddenly, and just as they were getting ready to travel and get married. Anyway, may she receive the attention and treatment she needs now and be well.

I like Danny, but man? Did he really believe that Angie would have spilled it all out of the blue to a stranger? I think he might have been suspicious at first, when Mona revealed that she had “got it all on her own” and Angie just gave the details. He could have played from there. From the brief conversation they had, Danny let out that there’s terrorism involved, which led to the death of one person and gave Angie that giant scar. Couldn’t Mona even COGITATE terrorism on her own? And Mona... “Just because I have gnomes in my garden doesn’t mean I’m stupid.” Not even. She didn’t think twice about blackmailing the Bolens like that. Lucky for Angie the issue was resolved quickly...

Orson playing good-guy, helpless victim, moralist, defender of good morals, telling Bree to write a book on etiquette for adulterers. Whoever sees it, thinks he never cheated and never did anything wrong against anyone. I don’t feel sorry for him, I feel for Bree because even in the face of all the things he’s done to hurt her, she feels guilty. And he even had the guts to say that he wouldn’t do anything to hurt her, ever. Being that he did that almost the entire 5th season. And what is this story he was bluffing about? What a joke. Karl trying to be romantic with a wedding banner, wow! But I thought it was good that he decided to reveal the truth to Orson himself, to set the record straight.

Which brings us to this tragic event in the midst of Christmas celebrations. For me, this catastrophe beats the one from season 5, which was the fire in the nightclub. It was different and quite unexpected to put a plane down on Wisteria Lane, during such a get-together. It was all impressive. Mona getting hit like that. Lynette rushing to save Celia from impending death – perhaps this will smooth things over in the war between the two families, we hope. And of course, the fact that Santa’s house, with Bree, Orson, and Karl inside, was hit hard. With at least one fatality, as shown in the final shot with the bloodied hand out, and that Mary Alice narration. And to think that Karl’s intention in sending that plane down to Wisteria Lane was to pleasantly surprise Bree.

I love this Hodge family mystery so much. I find it intriguing and it was soooo well handled throughout these 15 episodes, so you could easily connect the dots about Monique’s murder by Gloria’s behavior since she appeared. Always with a menacing tone, she didn’t hesitate to say that she was capable of killing. Then she showed obsession with having Alma as a daughter-in-law and having a grandson conceived by her, she was even able to set up her own son to be raped. There was also that scene where Gloria tells Bree that in God’s eyes, “she was the other woman”, therefore her marriage was a sin and invalid. If you put the pieces together correctly, you could conclude that she was the killer.

And all the scenes that came along with those revelations were fantastic and great for me. Gloria completely hallucinated planning to kill Bree and make it look like suicide - which culminated in the revelation that she had done the same to her husband, and still blamed Orson. That’s the mother of the year, huh? She really wanted her son to be fully happy. She blamed him for very heavy things. She killed the one he loved. She helped rape his body. Anyway... As I commented on another occasion, I consider Gloria Hodge one of the greatest series villains I’ve ever watched. By coldness, by manipulation, and by madness too. As for Orson, while he’s a victim of the two women’s scheming, I don’t entirely absolve him of guilt. He could have turned Gloria over to the police. Covering up Monique’s death the way he did was a choice, and Gloria had absolutely nothing to use against him. The blackmail came later. And we can never forget that he tried to KILL Mike. That hit-and-run was not intended to put him in a coma, but to silence him forever. It’s pretty clear that the reason was because Mike saw him at Monique’s house, which could implicate him in her death. It was file burning. Orson can’t get away with this – and it’s worth remembering that he conveniently omitted that part from Bree. Only he knows that now.

The ending of this plot for me is too brilliant. I found the story that got into the hands of the police believable, and even cleared Mike of the charges. I was sorry for Alma’s death, it was horrible. She was troubled by loving too much, and in the last moments she was showing sanity, she was finally going to give up on conquering Orson and move on with her life. She didn’t deserve to die like that. Gloria’s outcome was impeccable! It was a smart creative decision for her to become a quadriplegic, hostage to her own thoughts, unable to speak a word. But aware of everything. That scene of Orson turning her head to see him go away forever... WOW! In addition: I highlight Andrew again and the wonderful change he has gone through. It was BEAUTIFUL of him running back home willing to protect her when he learned that Bree had been left alone in Gloria’s hands.

Gaby assuming to Carlos that she thought she had sex with Zach!!! I die laughing as she throws herself on the floor. And Carlos having fun with the situation is funny... Even more so when he realizes that she didn’t do anything with the boy because of his size. But seriously, I hope this episode was Zach’s farewell, because this is a bizarre character and plot. It’s abusive. Gaby making it clear all along that they could only be friends, and the guy goes there and proposes in front of everyone. He likes to be embarrassed. Anyway... Carlos assuming he’s having a hard time staying just friends with Gaby was cute. Is it too much to ask for them to reconcile?

When Tom is disappointed, he is a pain in the ass – and I LOVE him so much. His posture and expression was so ridiculous when he saw the chairs. After all, it was an honest mistake and she worked so hard to get other seats. She explained everything and still he stayed that way... It annoys me. But luckily it doesn’t take him long to realize the mistakes he makes. It was beautiful of him saying that everything was perfect and thanking Lynette for her support. I will always repeat: MY COUPLE! Disagreement happens in any relationship. The important thing is to get over it and value what they already have.

The ring Mike bought for Susan drives men pretty crazy, huh? First it was Karl, who ran to give her a giant house. And now Ian. From the last episode we already knew that he intended to ask Susan to marry him. But it’s a blatant fact that seeing Mike’s intent accelerated this process. I shouldn’t be too bothered by that, because we know he has strong and real feelings for Susan. But I don’t know, it bothers me a lot and I think it’s pretty rash too. BTW: I felt the full impact of Susan saying that with Mike, “there’s always a problem”.

It’s the beginning of the end. The grip I feel when I start this season is always the same, in a great intensity. I’m so attached to the series and the characters, when it comes time to say goodbye again, I go into pre-finale depression. And this season starts very well, on top of that alluding to the first, giving the idea that it will end as it started.

As I said before, it is very interesting and different to see the main characters tucked inside the central “mystery” of the season. This time, the four of them with an active and direct participation, and not trying to unravel some secret of a new neighbor, but trying to cover up a crime in favor of a family. And I think it’s really good how they show their first reactions to this gigantic problem. If, on the one hand, Bree appears a little more imposing because of her convictions, that they must protect Carlos and Gaby because Alejandro is a “bad man”, Lynette and Susan evoke panic and guilt in the first moments of the scene in forest. Gaby, on the other hand, shows the fear that all that will go wrong and her husband will end up being sent to jail for ridding the world of a pedophile rapist like her ex-stepfather. Still, they make this pact – the scene of the four of them putting their hands on top of each other, in front of the dug grave, is great.

Maybe it’s even wiser to keep a detective like Chuck close by, because that way Bree can stay on top of any news that might come up on the matter, like, for example, the search for the family we know he has, thanks to the call he got when was being buried. But it’s also a wrong choice, because they get very nervous around him and he’s no fool. That scene with Alejandro’s car was very funny, Gaby not being able to drive, then chewing tobacco and feeling bad, I laughed so hard! But when Chuck showed up and decided he was going to take the car, they exuded nervousness at the excuses they made for the men’s accessories in the car - as Gaby said, they could have just said that “Aunt Shirley” was married and shared her car with her husband. . Anyway, it was very lucky that the robber showed up at that moment to take the car and Chuck didn’t notice any strange movements. At least that evidence, they no longer have...

I don’t judge any character for feeling guilty, because for me it’s unimaginable to carry something like that on my back. Even if it is Alejandro, a bad person, without character, capable of harming children, a rapist, a disgusting worm... What weighs more is that it is a life and no one has the right to take it away. That’s why I understand Carlos is martyring himself and even more so, because now he can’t even turn himself in to the police (if he wants to), as it would mean severe punishment for all involved, innocent people. I love Gaby for trying to free him from this, I thought the scene between the two of them at the end was very beautiful, when she exposed the fear she always felt of this damn worm and now she’s not afraid of him anymore. And she grants forgiveness for what Carlos did. I hope he can get through this, as complicated as it is – maybe impossible. BTW: Gaby was amazing throughout the entire episode. Talking about the new neighbor and introducing herself as Susan. Then giving the new priest exactly what he wanted, revealing about kissing two girls in college. And of course, the kidnapping of Father Dugan’s van.

Speaking of the new neighbor: I laugh so hard with Renee going to Ben’s house offering “coffee” and he refuses in that mocking way.

The worst case of guilt is Susan, right? She even disconnected from the girls and I found that so sad. Because it’s just now, that they share this secret with each other, that they need to stay together, providing support for each other. Even so, she yielded great scenes, I always laugh at the drama she makes when she goes to bury Cupcake at school. And honestly? I agree that she should tell Mike. He’s already been through this, he killed in self-defense, obviously he won’t go out and tell anyone and maybe it will be of great help to her, apart from that it will prevent her from being so reclusive inside her own house. What was discussed later, about the fact that husbands don’t know, means that they can’t be implicated if the bomb goes off makes sense. But I don’t know...

And finally, Lynette... What was that nightmare sequence, man? The series has never shown anything like this before and it was perfect, in the exact tone of terror with Alejandro walking up the stairs covered in dirt and blood, opening the door to her room. About the divorce plot: TOO SAD! And even more to see Tom’s face lighting up at the end, believing that they would get back together and start working to solve their marital problems, only for Lynette to cut his joy with that excuse of having had a nightmare. Absolutely understandable for him to get angry and decide to expose the situation there once and for all to the children. Lynette needs to understand that either she needs him or she doesn’t. For me, there is no such thing as not wanting him in the house, not wanting to get back together, but wanting him to be across the street. There’s no middle ground for something like that.

Lastly, I LOVE the pool scene. It’s so funny, crazy Gaby jumping on Susan and making her fall into the pool. And Bree jumping too, pretending she lost and found her earring.

Which brings us to the final scene. I can’t help but get goosebumps when Bree opens that letter and sees its contents. “I know what you did, it makes me sick, I’m going to tell”. The Mary Alice situation again. Too cool to bring this back in almost the same circumstances as season 1. It’s up in the air: who sent this, and what exactly does that person know?

Susan all gleeful to be back on Wisteria Lane, wanting to escape the moving boxes to find her friends, and all of them slamming the door in her face! PRICELESS. I laugh a lot at her expressions whenever a door was closed, she was dying to tell about what happened in the confrontation between Felicia and Paul. Anyway, I’m really happy that she’s finally able to come home, after a whole season with her life turned upside down by financial problems, health problems and finally, incriminations. I really loved the girls organizing themselves to have a welcome dinner, nice idea of each meal being served in one of the houses. And finally, Susan’s speech about the importance of friendship was wonderful.

It’s so strange to see the Scavo marriage falling apart like this. Because they have always supported each other before (even in the midst of disagreements), this giant rupture between them is sad, because there is a discouragement and unwillingness to fix things. Let’s face it, it didn’t take much effort from both of them, during the trip they couldn’t be alone, they commented that on the way back, they didn’t exchange a word... And it was very difficult to hear Lynette admit that she didn’t despair when she realized that Tom was gone, but that she felt relief. Dude... The size of the chasm between them widens even further. And to think that it all started because of this job that Tom didn’t even want to take. Tom changed his stance, became more materialistic. Anyway... I didn’t want that to happen (my reaction is the same as Renee’s), but the way it is, there was really no way to keep this strange, heavy atmosphere inside the house. It’s just to see how things turn out for the two of them now...

I have fun with Bree thinking that spending a lot of money at Doreen’s store would make her happy and ready to sign a divorce, and I loved that look with the “exotic” clothes for Fairview. She could have come up with a better and more convincing excuse when she accidentally said the woman’s name, too... Anyway, Chuck finally put that bullshit about saving himself for sex aside! Who cares if Doreen would be pissed? Who cheated when marriage vows were supposed to be respected, was she, right? I was breathless when Chuck came home all sweaty. In addition to being beautiful, he has such a body! I don’t judge Bree for barely being able to contain herself!! And I die with her letting the food burn because she was having sex. For the first time in history, she allowed such a thing to happen! She was too distracted by his body... Who wouldn’t be?!

Gaby was brave, deciding to take Alejandro to the woods to confront him. And he was very quiet, afraid of the gun, right? damn pig. The guy is so bad-tempered, so bad, that he decided to go back to Wisteria Lane to take advantage of her AGAIN. Seriously, I don’t even have the words to describe how disgusted I am when he says that Gaby was a “little bitch” at 15 for wearing miniskirts and blouses. That he felt like laughing when she told him she was a virgin. And worse: that she liked what he did. FUCK, what a human dump. Carlos heard all that, he arrived just in time. Imagine if he hadn’t arrived, what would the worm have done to Gaby?

Alejandro got what he deserved. But it’s just too frustrating to know what this death might mean for Gaby and Carlos, given that he was a man who had done a lot of harm to her and was willing to do it again. The girls arriving on time and Bree taking the lead, deciding they were going to hide everything… Look at the level of complicity these women have, man. Other than that it gives an interesting idea for the final season. The series started with the girls together trying to discover Mary Alice’s secret - and in the following seasons, some of them ended up getting directly involved in the mystery plot, so this search for the truth on their part always existed. Now, they are at the center of the “mystery”, with a hairy secret to cover up. The four housewives directly involved in a crime, and for the first time we are going to follow this process to hide something...

I have to say: what an irony with Carlos. He spent the last few episodes hating Bree for covering up for Andrew. He didn’t call her by her name. And now she’s also decided to protect him. It was nice to see him holding her hand in the last scene. It was unusual for forgiveness to come like this, but it is valid anyway.

I love this season and I will protect it. I love Renee, I think her inclusion is wonderful, a character that works in comic strips and works with each of the girls - in this episode she was PRICELESS feeling that anger over Doug’s marriage, I died laughing with her performance on the piano.

I can’t believe we’re already heading into the final season.
