So last night we finally found out who the Fairview Strangler is! More on that in a few . . .

First up, Lynette didn’t give up on exposing her almost-to-be daughter-in-law Irena. She knew something was up, did some digging with immigrations help, and found out the woman had a history of marrying men all over the world and taking their money. Preston promptly dumped her and was heartbroken. I still am clueless as to what she wanted from Preston at this point, as he has no money. A ticket to stay in the US so she could find a more eligible man?

Bob and Lee had marital troubles, fighting over trying to have a child. Adoption and surrogacy had both failed, and Lee wanted to drop the whole thing as he couldn’t take being let down again. Bob however wanted a child. Gabby opened her mouth and offered her eggs up, but Carlos had issues and later when she thought about it she too couldn’t give up a child and step out of its life. Bob and Lee fought once again, with Lee moving out. A very sad story, but good to see them being given a larger more deeper storyline than simply “the funny gays on the block.”

Mike and Susan were also having marital problems. Mike was behind on car payments, which almost cost him his truck. Susan then tried to get him work by clogging people’s tubs around the neighborhood, but got caught. From the upcoming spoilers for the finale, it looks like their money issues get worse. I swear, can this show stop pushing/pulling these two? Just let them be happy! I will be so upset if we have to go through yet another Mike and Susan breakup.

Andrew remained out to expose Sam to Bree, but only got himself fired by Bree. Bree however planned to hire him back, which Sam wouldn’t have. Sam sabotaged an important book deal dinner of Bree’s and made it look like Andrew did it. Yeah, this kid is nuts! Orson is onto him, as is Andrew. I fear Bree might not catch on until too late.

Patrick came to Fairview and met Danny/Tyler while he was working at the coffee shop. He claimed to be writing a book about a love story gone “very dark.” Little did Tyler know the love story was about his mom and Patrick. Patrick considered killing Angie, but by the end of the episode decided to use Tyler in his nefarious plot. I wonder . . . . does he know Tyler is his son, or suspect it? I might have missed that part, as the show seemed to end with him planning to abduct Tyler (or the fictitious kid of the women in his love story).

By the end of the show, Preston’s geeky friend Eddie was revealed as the killer. He picked up Irena, who got the boot from Preston, and offered her a ride. He promptly killed her! I have to say I was disappointed. He’s a nobody, and a random serial killer. There was no nefarious plot against Julie or anyone else, she was randomly target by this guy. Supposedly if you go back and watch from the beginning of the season you’ll see all the subtle hints and signs. I don’t have the time to do so right now, and honestly am not impressed with this “reveal” enough to do so.
