After reading comments about this episode that to me seem inaccurate i decided to express my opinion ...
I think that everyone agrees that the Mayfair mystery closed well with an appearance of Mary-Alice and Wayne getting what he deserved... I liked the fact that Kathrine shot him because it shows that good guys are human too...It was nice to see that real Dylan died by accident and wasn't murdered, making the story be a bit more original..At this point i want to comment on people saying it is turning out to be a crime show...The answer is NO! Desperate Housewives is a dramedy and MYSTERY show...it always has been and will always be one...Yes, mystery does have crime involved but Desperate Housewives is not the story of two cops chasing bad guys!
Moving on to the most controversial aspect of the episode...The 5 years leap... I know that it is a major cliffhanger and some of you don't like changes but stop attacking it since you have only seen a sample...I personally liked it, since it had both unexpected and expected elements..Haven't you ever told yourself "oh my god, some time ago if they told me i would turn out the way i have, i would laugh!"?...Thus i think that this time-shift added pretty realistically the story lines for next season...I also want to say, that Susan not being with Mike wasn't presented as something dramatic...From the music of that last scene you can understand that the reaction that fits is more like "well would you look at that!" and not sobbing and crying...
To sum up, i think season 4 began great and ended the same way leaving the audience wanting more...
