So “Desperate Housewives” finally returned after a holiday break that seemed to last forever. However even though we found out who died in the crash, I felt like this was still a “holiday filler” episode because it was mostly about what-if dreams of the future. Gabby’s of course was pretty funny as she became a TV/Stage mom.

None of the three deaths I felt were a shock. We guessed them all. In this day and age, the only way to do a shocking TV death is not to tease about an upcoming shocking TV death on your show!

Mona the nurse was a no brainer, she had to die to keep Angie’s secret. Karl I think we all assumed just because we knew Orson was still going to be around after the crash. The third death was one of Lynette’s unborn twins, which was heartbreaking.

I’ve felt the death of one or both of those babies had been foreshadowed the whole season. Also it’s obvious Lynette’s loss while saving Gabby and Carlos’ daughter is what will bring them all back together as friends . . . but from previews put a strain on Tom and Lynette’s marriage.

Bree got the news that Orson was possibly paralyzed from the crash. This one I just rolled my eyes at. Yet another plot device to keep Bree with Orson, along with that dream of the future she had of him dying alone and of a broken heart. I still don’t like Orson!

Katherine must have been in the mental hospital still as she wasn’t in the episode.

The biggest turn of events came from Angie’s what-if scenario, of her and Nick being caught if Mona lived. We learned that Angie was clearly on the run from some mob boss like guy and he is who she was afraid of. Also the death that Angie seems to have committed appears to have been an innocent by stander? She was apologizing to the wife and son of the man who died, saying nobody was supposed to die. It sounds like Angie, with Nick’s help, might have pulled off some scheme to escape the scary guy and an innocent person was killed? Well that’s what I’m going with for now 🙂
