'Desperate Housewives' - 'I Guess This is Goodbye' Recap (Season Finale)
(S06E23) "I guess everyone will be surprised to see you again." - Lee to the not-so-new new Wisteria Lane residentIt may not have been the most action-packed and thrilling season finale we've had for the series, but it was still compelling TV. We witnessed a birth and a death while hearing a shocking secret and noticing the return of a character.
The worst event of the episode was when my ABC station decided to freeze and go to a black screen for a few seconds as Bree made her request to Andrew and when the shocking secret was revealed. If that was the case for you too, I've gathered the needed intel for us to be fully in the know as it will be a major storyline next season. That and the return of the person who shall not be named!
Lynette and Eddie
That storyline's ending left me wanting more as I thought it was too easy and quick of a wrap up. I get that Eddie wanted someone to finally be proud of him and that's why he agreed to turn himself in but I expected more action from this. We are talking about somewhat of a serial killer after all. How about showing the cops smashing the door, cuffing Eddie and saving Lynette?
Susan and Mike
Don't be afraid, the Delfinos will still be around next season. Actually, I believe they may be involved in next season's year-long mystery. More on that in a bit.
The Bolens
Bravo Angie for being one brilliant bomb maker! She put the bomb in the detonator! It was risky as she could have been next to Patrick but the best bet to kill the less people. Bye bye Patrick! I've enjoyed Angie, so I'm glad she survived and got a happy ending with Nick. As for Danny, we may see him again next season since he is off to New York City where Ana is.
Bree, Andrew and Orson
It wouldn't be surprising if the Solises decide to not talk to Bree and family at the start of next season. However, it's pretty sure that something bad will make them bond again eventually. I felt a bit dumb when Orson told Bree that Andrew committed exactly the same crime he (Orson) committed. Why didn't it even cross my mind when we were reminded of Andrew running over Carlos' mother last week?!
It's understandable that Bree wanted to protect her son but Orson was right that she should have asked Andrew the same thing she asked of him, her husband: pay for his crime. Since Shawn Pyfrom, who plays Andrew, is leaving the series, it's a safe bet to assume that Andrew will indeed go to jail. Will Orson go back to Bree now that she made things right? I doubt he'll run back to her. He'll make her wait a bit.
Teresa's secret
As I've said in my intro, I missed most of the scene at the end where we discover the secret. I did hear that there was a baby switch. After doing a quick research, it seems that I didn't miss that much of the secret.
I don't remember if Susan and Mike ever told the sex of MJ when she was pregnant. Right now, my money is on MJ having been switched as a baby while in the hospital. Could it be that MJ was switched with Paige, Dave's deceased daughter? Or maybe MJ and Roy's deaf grandson? Yes, it would be difficult to switch a boy and a girl but Susan has been rather unlucky since the start of the series so anything could have happened, no? Plus switching a boy and a girl would explain why the nurse knew for sure the babies were switched.
I doubt it's one of the older kids (Julie, Danielle, Andrew) since they've pretty much gone from the show. But what a twist would it be if Andrew and Sam got switched!!! The Scavos definitely look all alike so it's less likely it's one of them. Maybe Penny? It could be possible that one of the Solises kids got switched but the sisters look alike.
Who do you think was switched as a baby? For sure it must involved at least one of the show's main kids, otherwise it wouldn't be that powerful of a mystery!
