Recap Desperate Housewives Season Finale Episode 323: "Getting Married Today"

Wow, tonight’s episode of Desperate Housewives was a doozy!  My thoughts on how everything went down are after the break so as to not spoil anything for those of you who haven’t seen it yet.  Enjoy!

Poor Gabrielle has suspicions that she shouldn’t marry Victor when his father played by Mike Farrell (You might remember him from Providence) starts talking about him running for Governor.  It turns out she should have listened to her initial thoughts because we find out in the end after they have already tied the knot that he only married her because she’s Latina and good for getting votes.  Then she ends up fooling around with Carlos on her own wedding day!  Talk about messed up.

Oh and Carlos finds out Edie’s been taking the pill and was lying to him about wanting a baby and freaks out at her during the wedding.  Hence why Carlos is really drunk and ends up with Gabrielle.

As for Susan and Mike…Susan’s planning an elaborate wedding that Mike knows is going to cost big bucks so he starts working nights and is exhausted.  When Susan sees that he’s fallen asleep during the reception after Gaby’s wedding she decides to forget her fancy plans and to have a quiet romantic ceremony with just Julie and a priest that same night.  It’s really cute.  Julie pretends to be someone in need of a plumber and gives Mike the address to the middle of nowhere…then the minister meets him with a suit and walks him through the woods to his wedding.  Very cute, but it seems a bit too good to be true for Mike and Susan.  I wonder why their storyline is ending without a cliffhanger like everyone else this season?

Then there’s Bree who seems to have returned to Fairview pregnant.  When I saw her bump I thought "Aha, Marcia Cross hasn’t lost the baby weight yet.  What a great way to buy her some time to get back into Bree’s tiny cardigans."  Then I started wondering who the father could be when Orson says he’ll love the baby like it’s his own.  I thought maybe it could be George’s (The crazy pharmacist).  There’s also something strange going on with Danielle who I almost forgot was pregnant herself.  Then just before the answer was revealed I pieced it together.  Bree and Orson sent Danielle away to have her baby and in the meantime Bree will pretend to be pregnant.  Then they’ll make people think Danielle’s baby is theirs.  Cute idea!  I have a feeling that Danielle’s not going to like Bree raising her kid though.  I anticipate some issues over child rearing in the next season.

A storyline that I’m really not looking forward to next season though is Lynette’s.  I can’t believe they gave that poor woman cancer!  And her mom’s going to be hanging around to boot?  That’s going to be SO awful.  She better not die because she’s one of my favorite characters.  Erg, and I can’t stand Kayla!  What a little witch telling Lynette’s mom about Rick!

Last but not least we have Edie.  It seems she really loved Carlos and is so heartbroken when he tells her it’s over that she hangs herself.  I wonder if Nicollette Sheridan is actually leaving the show?  It was a small scarf though and we don’t see her hanging for long so it’s possible she’ll live.  I guess we’ll find out next season!

Great cliffhanger!  I really enjoyed this season of Desperate Housewives.  It may not have been as fresh and original as the first season but it definitely was fun to watch and better than last season. 

Stay tuned over the summer for spoilers, gossip, contests and new features!  The Show may be on hiatus, but Desperateblog won’t be!
