DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES RECAP 5/17/09 SEASON FINALE

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!   

 

 

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES RECAP 5/10/09

On tonight's Desperate Housewives, Carl suggested that Bree hide her assets in a secret account, engage in creative accounting and to have her house robbed to hide her material possessions!  Later, Bree wanted to changed her mind about the divorce, but Carl convinced her that Orson would always be no good.  Orson got wind the situation when the storage unit company called and Orson answered!

Tom felt discouraged when he was looked over for a possible job position in favor of thirty year olds who knew how to, "twitter"!  Tom ran into a college classmate who looked great and let him onto his secret, plastic surgery!  And that was exactly what Tom wanted to give him a leg up at job interviews.  But, later Lynette tried to scare Tom with a co-worker who had bad work on himself.  Lynette got scared herself thinking that if Tom got good work done on himself he would stop loving the, "old" Lynette.  Tom changed his mind about the cosmetic surgery.

Gaby wanted to teach her daughter, Juanita a lesson after she demanded a canopy bed by taking her to the soup kitchen where she ran into a former rich acquaintance who had fallen on hard times.  But, Gaby was the one to learn a lesson about how you can have it all and then lose it all like her former friend did.

Susan and Jackson announced their impending marriage and engagement party to Mike and Katherine, to her happiness and Mike's, at least, slight disappointment.   But, when Susan discovered that she would lose her alimony, she had doubts about the faux marriage. Later, Mike proposed to Katherine and she accepted even though she could tell that he was doing it for all the wrong reasons (Susan!)  Susan told Katherine that she couldn't marry Mike and lose the alimony and that she was only marrying Jackson to get help him get his green card.  Katherine was just speaking to Dave on the phone and did not hang up, so he heard it all and that gave him more ammunition to use against Susan.  Susan got a text from, "Mike" that she would get her alimony after all, but unbeknownst to Susan, it was sent by Katherine!  But, Dave apparently got immigration to send Jackson back to Canada.

Jackson told Dave that he had to go down to the police station to answer some questions about that club fire and tell the cops if  he saw something or someone suspicious in the back near the storeroom that night. 

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES RECAP 5/3/09

On tonight's Desperate Housewives, Katherine found that it was not beneath her to use MJ to get a marriage proposal out of Mike by badgering him to death.  But, Mike told Katherine that he was not interested marriage, but loved her a lot.  Been there, done that!

Bree took an interest in Susan's ex, Carl, because he was a shark divorce attorney who would make sure that Bree's business stayed intact and out of Orson's hands in a divorce settlement.  But, in exchange for his services, Carl wanted Bree to get his bully six year old son, Evan invited to Mike Delfino's kid, MJ's sleepover.  After many macaroons, icecream and pleading, Bree got MJ to invite his enemy to the party. 

Gaby's daughter, Juanita was wearing makeup because she was being teased at school for not being as pretty as Gaby and that she must be adopted.  The resolution was for Gaby not to wear makeup at a dinner for Latino Businessman of the Year Award for Carlos to be an example for Juanita.  But, Gaby cheated and put on makeup for a photo op for the Mayor.  But, later, Gaby convinced Juanita that beauty was only skin deep and that she needed to be a well rounded person as well.

Dave invited Susan and MJ on a fishing trip.  The detectives on the case of the club fire discovered that Dave's psychiatrist was murdered and questioned Dave who claimed not to have known the shrink.  But, the cops said that Jackson was locked in the bathroom that was close to where the psych's body was found.  Dave was later disappointed when Susan chose to skip the trip and to get married instead!  

Jackson surprised Susan with a marriage proposal.  And after Susan bared her soul about really loving him and not doing a convincing job with being, "the strong, single woman", Jackson told he that it would only be a marriage of convenience since he's a Canadian and needed to be married to avoid deportation!  Susan was initially humiliated and disappointed, but later decided to help Jackson out, but there would be no love or sex, just like a real marriage said Susan!

Lynette and Tom had to have sex every night or day, if necessary according to a book they read that said that making love daily could bring forth intimacy.  This included having sex at the office on speaker phone with Lynette's boss, Carlos and colleagues overhearing.  Lynette fell asleep during sex which upset Tom.  Tom later confessed that he was using sex because it was the only thing that he felt passionate about as a middle aged man.  

POSSIBLE SPOILER: WHO'S GETTING MARRIED ON DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES' SEASON FINALE?

Will it be Katherine and Mike? Remember on the most recent episode, Katherine said that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with Mike (was that a pseudo proposal?), but he did not respond and all we could see is Susan all over his face! More nuptials speculation in a link below:

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES RECAP 4/26/09

On tonight's Desperate Housewives, the senior citizen who chased Orson out had a mild heart attack (but was recovering) when she saw Orson (who she had just chased out of her home trying to steal something and hit him over his noggin with a bat) inadvertently caused the car accident that killed Edie Britt as she told this story to Katherine.  But, she could not identify the perpetrator.

Orson was also in the same hospital and told Bree that he vowed to stop lying and stealing.  But, Andrew wasn't as sure as Bree that his transformation to become a good person would be realized.  Orson told the doctor that his neighbor (the one he attacked) had dementia and had to be sent away (this would keep her from telling anyone about that fateful night)  Katherine told Bree the story that the neighbor told her including the parts of stealing of knick-knacks and being hit over the head with a baseball bat!  But, Bree realized that Orson was still lying and sought Andrew's help in divorcing him!

The ladies sent Mike to find out how Dave was doing and he wasn't pleased.  (Mike didn't know that he was the reason for all of Dave's problems)  Susan went to see Dave and accidentally saw his gun and was able to grab his gun, kitchen knives, belts and ties, worried that he would hurt himself.  Susan was arrested for talking on her cell phone and driving, but the officer took her in when he saw the gun in her car, but released her when she said that gun wasn't hers and she thought that Dave was suicidal.  Susan talked to Dave again and he said that he and Edie just had a bad fight before the car accident, so he was feeling guilty.  Susan told him not to feel guilty and told him the car accident story that killed his wife and kid (Susan was not aware, of course that it was his family) and that she was actually driving, because she left her driver's license at home, but they told the police that Mike was actually the driver.  Did Dave have a new target?  

Lynette wasn't in the mood for sex with Tom, but let it slip that she cleaned up at work in Carlos' shower and Tom didn't want her to do that again.  Lynette was late for work, but she fell and was temporarily knocked out and Carlos had to carry her nude body to bed until she came to.  She was not happy to have had Carlos see her naked and wanted it kept between the two of them because she knew Tom was the only one who wanted to see her au naturel!  The ugly truth inadvertently came out at a, "thanks for your friendship dinner" with the Solises and Scavos.  So, Tom found out Carlos seeing his wife naked and Lynette discoverd that Tom was associating (but, not doing anything wrong with) with the town slut at the Garden Club that he and Gaby were participating.

Katherine told Mike that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with Mike, but the look on his face said that he wasn't on the same page.

 

    

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES 4/19/09 RECAP DID EDIE DIE?

On tonight's Desperate Housewives, Edie died from her injuries from her car crash and subsequent electrocution after finding out the truth of her evil husband, Dave Williams and the gals reminisced about their time with her as they drove several hours to tell Edie's 15 year old son, Travers at his boarding school that his mother was dead.  The ladies told Travers that his mom was dead, but he didn't care much since she gave him up long ago. 

The ladies were surprised to discover that Susan and Edie were the best of friends when she first moved in.  But, when Susan found out that Edie was sleeping with her friend's husband, the friendship hit a wall.  But, Edie got it right when she told Susan that Carl was cheating on her with his secretary, Brandi.

Lynette told a story of how Edie took her to chemo with a little stop at a bar for a pep talk about not feeling sorry for herself, embracing life and fighting the cancer. 

Bree, in her memory of Edie, was surprised that Edie was visiting Orson in prison.  And Edie was upset that Bree refused to visit with him because she hated that environment.   Later, she finally went to visit him.

Gaby remember the time when she was single after divorcing Carlos and Gaby and Edie went out on the town and competed for men's affection with Gaby being the victor!  Edie told Gaby later that she didn't expect to live past fifty and was surprised that her youth was disappearing so quickly.

Mrs. McClusky shared a story about while she was grieving over the anniversary of her own son's death, Edie told her that she had a son that she gave up years ago!

The ladies spread her ashes on lawns, flowers and trees of Wisteria Lane.

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES RECAP 3/8/09

On Desperate Housewives, Orson was ordered by Bree to return the saltshaker he, "borrowed" to punish Tom for being rude to him when he tried to express his sympathy for Tom and Lynette's restaurant closing.  Bree set up Tom with a dinner interview with her publisher after seeing him very depressed over the failure of his business.  Tom made a bad impression with the publisher, but Lynette didn't, but Tom woke up and they both competed for the position.  The publisher got tired of their overcompetitiveness and decided the leave.  But Orson felt like he was being dissed by the publisher, Tom and even Bree and continued his stealing ways to punish people who disrespected him.  He tried taking the publisher's tape recorder, but Bree saw him and got it back in time.  But he did manage to steal one of her fancy earrings!

Bradley got Gaby to be his alibi, when he wanted to get his 30k Carlos bonus worth, he had Gaby to play tennis, go shopping with his wife, Maria so that he could play with his mistress, Sheila.  When Carlos was tired of Gaby's shenanigans regarding Bradley he wanted to quit his job.  But, Gaby was too accustomed to the high life again to let that happen.  She confronted the homewrecker, Sheila, but the plan to get her to stop seeing Bradley backfired when Sheila wouldn't budge one iota.  Gaby told Bradley that she wasn't playing his game anymore and Bradley said that Carlos was fired!  Bradley told Maria about the affair and Maria was the housewife who committed murder of her cheating husband, Bradley. (featured in the endless ABC promos!)  

At Katherine and Mike's housewarming, the picture that Katherine had over the mantle mysteriously disappeared after Susan said before the party that it was the painting that she did for Mike for their honeymoon.  Susan found it in the basement fully intact and not broken which Katherine used as an excuse.  Susan showed Mike the painting and he and Katherine argued to Susan's satisfaction.  But, Susan felt bad and took the painting back to Katherine's satisfaction. 

Dave and Edie ran into a priest who seemed to know Dave.  Dave politely told him to get lost!  Edie confronted the priest who couldn't help her until he called her Mrs. Dash, hey a big clue!
