Desperate Housewives Episode Recap: "Everybody Says Don't/If It's Only in Your Head"

Neal McDonough

We're finally here, folks! It's the two-hour season finale of Desperate Housewives, which is technically two self-contained, one-hour episodes — so I've recapped them separately. Bree and Orson's divorce battle heats up fo' realz, with Karl on the scene stoking the fire with devilish glee. Gaby and Carlos inherit an unruly teenager. Lynette receives some life-changing news from the doctor, just as Tom's midlife crisis pops up again. Plus, Lily Tomlin is back to help the idiot cops connect the dots of Dave Williams' murderous plan for revenge, which finally kicks into gear.

Desperate Housewives Episode Recap: "Marry Me a Little"

Mary Alice tells us that Sunday's episode of Desperate Housewives is about masks, and the way that the residents of Wisteria Lane use them to deceive their friends and loved ones. You must look closely to find the truth, she says. Bree and Karl scheme and plot a secret divorce strategy together. Susan and Jackson decide not to tell anyone that their marriage is an immigration-mandated sham, which leads to some tension between Mike and Katherine when their reactions to the impending nuptials reveal deeper truths. Tom wants to change his literal mask — his face — to make himself a more desirable job candidate. Gaby has a run-in with a former neighbor that has her questioning the superficial trappings of her newly reclaimed wealth. And Dave's never-ending, insidious plan changes twice during this hour, but who can really keep track?

Premise: Following her suicide, Mary Alice Young keeps tabs on friends and family she left behind on bucolic suburban Wisteria Lane. But this being a prime-time soap (if a tongue-in-cheek one), they all harbor a sordid secret or two. Created by writer-producer Marc Cherry (a 'Golden Girls' alum), 'Housewives' was an instant hit and has been a frequent contender on Emmy night ever since.
