On tonight's season finale of Desperate Housewives, the series opened with Dave making a videotape stating they he had to kill MJ Delfino, but he was interrupted by MJ wanting to get with the fishing trip! But, Susan did not want her and MJ to take the fishing excursion because she was worried about Jackson's impending deportation. But, Susan had to get tough with Dave when he wouldn't take no for an answer! Jackson assumed that Mike was the anonymous caller that fast-tracked his deportation.
The detectives on the club fire case finally got a lead on the identity of Dave's psychiatrist that led them to an impound lot that led them to his Boston office in which the receptionist said that she just got a text from him last week! The detectives left a text for him. (or Dave, since he was the one sending the texts anyway!)
There was no way that Mike could have been tipped off immigration because he never knew that Susan's marriage was faux because Katherine never told him! She was so afraid that Mike would fall for her again! Susan asked Mike if he was in love with Katherine and he said, "yes", of course. But, later, Mike and Katherine announced to Susan that they were getting married in Vegas this weekend.
Lynette wanted Tom to get tough with Preston who would rather go gallivanting around Europe than checking out colleges. But, it was Tom who got more excited about going back to school! But, Lynette didn't give Tom the message earlier that his admissions test was changed and instead got him drunk and stayed at the bar to closing time, so that he would be too tired and drunk for the entrance exam. Tom felt like he failed the test which was too bad because he was planning on majoring in Mandarin to give him a leg up in the business world. What did Lynette do this time? But, Tom passed the test anyway with flying colors! Later, Lynette was feeling well, thought she had a cancer again, but she was actually six weeks pregnant with twins again!
Carlos's Aunt Connie was too sick to care for her teenage granddaughter anymore, and after convincing Gaby that it was a good idea, they decided to take her in. But, Connie just wanted to just get rid of her troublemaker granddaughter, Anna. Anna got gifts from college guys, got the Scavo boys to help her with her chores, much to Gaby's chagrin.
The detectives spoke to Jackson who said that he saw Dave in the storage room that night at the club.
Mrs. McClusky and her sister Roberta got a call from Dave psychiatrist's receptionist that the psych was dead. There was no smoke in the psych's lungs, so he was killed before the fire started. The ladies got caught by the detectives wanting to question Dave at his house trying to find evidence against him.
Edie Britt made a cameo tonight in one of Dave's demented thoughts!
Orson confronted Bree about the storage room, she confessed that she was divorcing him, but Orson turned the tables and would have her sent to jail for insurance fraud (he filed the claim in both of their names) and that the storage room was in her name only. Didn't look that good for Bree anymore!
Dave's deceased wife and daughter, Leila and Paige were briefly seen in flashbacks leading to the tragic car accident involving Mike and Susan.
Carl and Bree kissed after he told her that he hired a thug to assault Orson. Bree initially did not give in, but succumbed to Carl's snaky charms. Orson got Bree's sympathy to stay in their house longer.
Susan changed her mind and she, MJ and Dave took the fateful fishing trip anyway. Dave gave Mike the tape of him saying that he had to kill MJ, but told him that it was a tape of the band, not to be played until after his honeymoon. But, the tape went off at the airport by mistake and Mike saw the truth on tape, called Susan and left a confused Katherine behind. Mike hoped that Susan could get away from Dave in time as he and the cops were closing in. During a necessary MJ potty break in the woods off the side of the road, Susan knocked Dave out, but he quickly regained consciousness and knocked out Susan (who told MJ to hide) temporarily and when she came to, Dave had MJ in his hands! And they continued driving along with a gun in her face. Mike called Susan, but got Dave that he would sacrifice himself. Dave had it set up that Mike's car would crash into his with MJ in it, recreating the same car crash scene in the same intersection from three years ago. It happened, but not quite as planned, Dave had a last minute change of heart after seeing a flashback of his daughter in the backseat, he let MJ out precrash. Everyone was okay though, Susan untied herself from a pole on the side of the road where she was supposed to watch the, "accident" but did not prevent the crash in time, but she and Mike shared a postcrash kiss.
Dave was still alive, but confined to a mental institution back in Boston.
Two months later, Mike was getting married to someone, but before the veil was raised to kiss and reveal the bride, the show was over! All of the housewives were shown in the pews except for Susan and Katherine. Cliffhanger!
