"Desperate Housewives" - "I Guess This is Goodbye" - May 16, 2010

It's the season finale so we get some loose ends tied up and some cliffs hanging.

At the Orlofsky house, just as Lynette realizes that Eddie killed his abusive mother, he sees her and implies that he's the Fairview Strangler. Because Eddie likes Lynnette so much and has no desire to kill her, he offers to drive to the middle of nowhere and leave her (not kill her), so he can get a head start on running. Unfortunately, Lynette's water breaks. Just as he's about to take her to the hospital, after she's sworn that she doesn't care about him right now only her baby, Tom shows up and bangs on the front door. Eddie clamps his hand over Lynette's mouth. When Tom does not get a reply, he thinks she's just giving him the silent treatment and walks off. Now there's no time for the hospital though, so instead of running, Eddie becomes Lynette's midwife and she gives birth to a baby girl right in the living room. Afterwards, Eddie is about to take off and asks Lynette to wait to call the police. She shows him compassion and maternal love and coaxes him to turn himself in.

At the Bolen house, Angie tells Patrick the bomb is complete but he doesn't believe her and says if he takes it and it doesn't work he's going to kill her and come back and kill Danny. She agrees to tinker with it a bit more. Meanwhile, Gaby gets the note that Angie sliped to her the other day and goes to the hospital to get Nick, just out of his medically induced coma. Patrick tells Angie to say her goodbyes to Danny because he's taking her with him to Oregon as insurance. When she's in with Danny, Patrick puts the bomb in the linen closet of house. Gaby and Nick arrive but Nick passes out before he can do anything. On her own, Gaby climbs the trellis and unties Danny just as Angie and Patrick drive away. Patrick stops after a short distance down the street and confesses he put the bomb in her house and after her betrayal of him the only way he felt he could get revenge was to kill Danny. He hits the detonator and tells her she has 30 seconds to save her son. Angie gets out and runs full out for about ten seconds and then turns to face the car. She waves at him and says quietly: "It's in the detonator!" Patrick, reading her lips or realizing way too late what she's done to him, looks at the detonator and the car blows up, killing him. Gaby takes Danny, Nick, and Angie to the bus station and says her goodbyes so they can leave town before the authorities will arrive to question them. Suddenly, Angie and Nick tell Danny that he's not going with him. They've bought him a different ticket to New York so he can be with Gaby's niece, Anna, and his grandmother. Danny says he's not ready to be on his own, but they say that he is and they say their teary goodbyes. Gaby waves goodbye as Angie and Nick board one bus, and Danny boards a second bus, all three of them leaving Fairview, and Whisteria Lane, forever.

At the Delfino house, Susan and Mike have a garage sale in the days leading up to their departure and though most of the neighbors are supportive and try to offer more money than what Susan's asking for, but one neighbor is bitchy and tries to exploit her situation. Karen McCluskey shouts the rude neighbor down and Susan yells at her in a way that appeals to her humanity and the woman finally steps up and offers Susan the proper amount. Unfortunately, M.J. put his favorite toy in the sell pile accidentally and Roy bought it and gave it to his grandson. Susan goes to get it back but is unsuccessful. After she gives MJ the "sometimes life isn't fair" speech, Mike tells her to finally let out her anger at him. So she does. In an angry tone, Susan says she loves and respects Mike but she's mad at hell that his business mismanagement is forcing them from their home. She cries it out and he's glad she got it out of her system. Later, when Susan says goodbye to her friends she says it won't be so bad and they'll see each other all the time, like at poker on Friday. But until then, she wants to remind them how she much she loves them and what good people they are. Susan and Mike and MJ then leave Whisteria Lane for good as well.

At the Hodge house, Bree decides to give into Sam's threats and sign over her entire catering company to him after he threatened to go the authorities to tell them about Andrew's involvement in the hit and run accident that killed Carlos' mother 10 years ago. Both Orson and Andrew protest, but Bree tells them that her mind is made up. Andrew even goes as far as to say maybe it's time for him to pay for what he did to Mrs. Solis, but Bree forbids him from doing so. After Bree returns home after having Sam sign the formal documents to give him full control over her company, Orson becomes angry for he cannot believe that Bree gave into blackmail and didn't insist that Andrew go to jail just like she told Orson that he had to do years ago over attempting to run over Mike Delfino in almost the exact same manner. Bree tells Orson that she does not have the heart to send her only son away to prison, despite his long list of crimes. Orson can't believe that Bree is such a hypocrite and would compromise her principles like that and he leaves her. Later that day, Andrew discovers a bereft Bree crying over Orson's empty bed he asks what he can do. Bree asks his permission to do something she should've done years ago. At Susan's goodbye party, Bree asks to speak to Gaby in private and warns her what she has to tell her could end their friendship.....

In a couple of teasers for the future, we get a minor subplot about an elderly OB nurse, named Teresa Pruitt, who worked at Fairview hospital for 30 years. On her deathbed, Teresa tells her priest that many years ago, a newborn baby was given to the wrong family by her own choice. Teresa tells the priest to tell someone and he tells the hospital administrators. One of them is a Wisteria Lane resident and knows the family involved.

In the final scene, Lee finds someone to rent Susan and Mike's old house. As the episode ends, a town car drives up and Lee shows the person around the empty house. The guy says he doesn't need the 411 information on the Lane because he's lived there before. Lee figures the neighbors will be surprised then and the man says "absolutely." The man is shown to be..... Paul Young.
