Dang, didn't anybody watch "Desperate Housewives" last night?

Amazing season finale. And not a peep in the Lounge that I could find.

And I think I know how they kept the secret, secret.

1. DH

What happened, what happened...I missed it!!!! :bounce: :hi:

4. TWOP has a good synopsis

But really, you should watch it on abc.com, otherwise you miss the acting, which was quite good this episode.

And don't read any further downthread unless you want the episode secrets spoiled.

2. Did you guess that about Bree right away? (Spoilers)

I did. I was SURE that she was faking the pregnancy the minute Orson commented on being a good father regardless of who the baby's real father was.

6. ooooh

so do you think she's faking a pregnancy because she's going to raise her grandchild in secret?

[Midlodemocrat]

8. Yup. That's what I got from it.

[kay1864]

7. Not me, but then I'm slow about plot twists

Mrs Kay guesses movie plot twists halfway through the movie, whereas I'm in blissfully ignorant suspense until the end. :blush:

So no, I didn't guess it until she took the padding out. And even then it took a few seconds to realize why she was faking it.

When I first heard Orson say that, I thought, "Huh?" Cause it couldn't have been the pharmacist's child. Or Rex's. Come to think of it though, it could have been her AA sponsor's child. I think.

9. That's what made me realize it was Danielle's baby.

Because the timing wasn't right for it to be anybody else's. Interesting twist that's for sure.

3. I'm confused about the ending

I had to miss several episodes mid-season and I didn't see when Brie left. So who's the father?

[Midlodemocrat]

5. Here. (Spoilers)

She's faking the pregnancy so that no one will know that Danielle got pregnant by Edie's nephew and is off in an unwed mother's home. She and Orson plan to raise the baby as theirs apparently.

Do you think Edie really hanged herself? :wow:

[kay1864]

10. Pretty sure she did

If they have her saved at the last minute by Carlos it will be a complete cop-out, and they will likely lose a lot of viewers.

Cool thing is, I don't think Nicollette Sheridan knew about it. The hanging could have been by a stunt double, and known only to her, the cameraman, and the film editor. All we saw NS do was look pensive and play with her scarf. The rest (note to Carlos, scarf flying through the air, etc) could have been filmed later.

11. Wow, I bet you're right!

Since after all, we only saw her dangling feet. Poor Nicolette Sheridan, what if she saw it for the first time when the rest of us did?

I'm still surprised they would "off" Edie. Her character kept getting more and more interesting.

[kay1864]

13. I think they had run out of storyline ideas for her

She can't pursue Mike any more, and Orson is certainly off-limits, so with the Carlos breakup, she would be relegated to the backround, with an occasional snipe at Susan.

She was needed to fill the gap when Marcia Cross was gone, but it seemed odd to me that suddenly she was a chummy confidante to the other 3 DH's.

I gotta admit her motivation for suicide seemed kinda weak. Clearly she had some self-loathing (as represented by her mother), but her sudden love for Carlos didn't seem genuine. She certainly could have found satisfaction elsewhere.

14. Not me! I have a perfect storyline for her.

I'd like to see Edie hook up with the mayor's dad & become Gabi's mother-inlaw! :rofl:

I think Mike Farrell would be a good addition to the mix.

[flamingyouth]

12. Good point.

That part totally shocked us.
