LOFL! Best line of the night goes to Lynette (to a freshly fired Lucy):

"Don't forget your little animals." That was too freaking funny! LOVE IT!

Pretty great episode. I'm glad that Bree stood up to Orson. She shouldn't have to sell the company she worked so hard to build. Make sacrifices, sure, but, Orson shouldn't have expected her to give everything up.

I'm also glad Carlos got to see how much of a bitch Lucy is!

Wow, Katherine was almost a goner! Just a few inches, and pow!

Just a few minutes left. Gotta get back and watch!

Wow, what an ending! Dave couldn't kill her, and the car wreck to avoid hitting a fleeing Orson couldn't kill her, but, it looks like the third times the unlucky charm for the electric Edie!

Loved this episode!

I was hoping all the talk of Edie being killed off was a fake story and it was really going to be Orson there at the end. His character is really starting to annoy the piss out of me. What a spoiled brat.

I know! I agree 110%!

I agree. I'm so glad that Bree didn't give up her life for that 'man'. And the way he taunted her saying "I'm gonna start back stealing' was ridiculous.

As for Edie, that was devastating. It seems as if she will be alive in the next episode (if even for a short time). I hope that the talk of her dying was misleading on purpose and that she'll be incapacitated for a while and end up recovering and leaving once again. That ending was too tragic and I wish that Nicollette had left last season when Edie moved away.

With the 5-year jump, there may be a possibility that for a season they jump backwards. That'd leave room for Edie to come back in some way (although it'll still be odd to see her knowing her fate).

The Susan-Karl story was really interesting. It seems like they may bring him back. Susan's been man-less for several episodes now. That rug on Karl's head was hideous. Just let him be bald, especially if we're talking about 5 years later.

That VP deserved every bit of what she deserved and I am glad that they wrote her off pretty quick.

Edie saved Katherine's life I wish she could've done more for herself. It would've seemed more feasible for Edie to escape to Mike and Katherine's. They could've kept her safe until the police were called.

She was headed away, and she had the cell phone out. I assume she was going to call Mike or Katherine. Of course, Orson's revenge upon Bree saw an end to that.

Edie's last scene was so horribly written. She texts Dave to tell him she knows what he's up to and to come home, gets drunk before confronting him and then decides to call Mike right in front of him. After he tries to strangle her, she decides to drive off and call Mike in her car, when she could just have ran to his house to talk to him. WTF?!

Hopefully Edie is gone for good. Maybe Susan will follow soon.

The fat chick was a bitch.

Too bad about Edie, but withe Dave story set up to end now and the addition of Catherine she would have been involved less then she already was.

I was hoping those pictures the kid was drawing ment he was going to kill Susan, too bad.

Or I thought she was going to run to McCluskey's

Bree stands up to Orson
Carlos stands up to Lucy
Edie stands up to Dave

I was wishing he really had strangled her so it'd be pinned to him. He'll get his somehow though.

I thought that was Susan in the drawings! I'm betting she'll end up with her ex by the time the series ends.

Unless 'Edie' is leaving the show by becoming another amnesiac, I'm really going to miss Nicolette. I hope the shock to Edie's system cures Orson of his klepto ways.

I'm sure you're right. That's just how that character always acts.

That's quite a way to go out.

The best part of the episode was Tom's gossiping with Gabby. He was completely right about the too-tired discussion.

I guess the part that I'm not connecting to is Dave's reasoning of killing Katherine. Yes, Mike and her are together, but I dont get the feeling she was the love of his life? I guess I dont feel connected to them as a couple. Would have made more sense to kill Susan, who is the mother of his child, and then he would have to live with that, seeing MJ without his mother.

Damn, Wisteria Lane seems like a very dangerous place to live - I feel so much safer in the heart of the city!

Good episode - poor Edie is gonna have to lie there in the street for the next four weeks!

But then Dave realized Mike would be free of Susan's annoying story arc

Really wish she had run Orson down. He is the most annoying character ever and there are a lot on this show.
The misleading promos again promised, like on Brothers and Sisters, that someone would die, from the promos, it looks like that is not so.

Dave getting "off the hook" by Edie's sudden accident reminded me of when Carlos' mom found out Gabby was cheating on him only to get by the car driven by Bree's son.

The promos weren't that misleading... They did say it would be the most SHOCKING episode yet!
