Well, they said the final scene would be a shocker, and they were right. I am speechless. You know how much I love my Edie.

Mrs. McCluskey was an excellent inspiration for Lynette, so Kathryn Joosten was able to deliver one of the episode's many other zingers (re: Tom): "It's bad enough you cut off his cojones. Now you want to j...
