A very nail biting episode of “Desperate Housewives” this weekend, all building up to the season finale next week! Let’s get into it . . . .

The story that irked every last nerve in me this week was Eddie the serial killer. Irina’s body was found, and the cops needed to talk to Porter. Tom and Lynette took him in. All they needed to do was confirm his whereabouts this summer, to rule him out. Seems they rightly think the person who killed the other women also killed Irina. Lynette then overheard them mention Eddie’s mom was also found dead. Eddie had previously told Lynette his mom was probably on a bender, which is why nobody had seen her, and that she’d turn up. By the end of the show Lynette found Eddie claiming he just talked to his mom, who was in Florida with his Uncle. He was going there, they were getting her help. Lynette then opened her big mouth, thinking the cops at the station made a mistake as they said they found his mom dead. Yup, she spoke to soon, and immediately realized her mistake. Eddie began locking the doors and closing the windows! I was SO pissed at Lynette by the end. I would expect such a blunder from Susan or even Gabby, but NOT Lynette. Lynette supposedly goes into labor next week while Eddie is there, and I have horrible visions of Eddie running with the kid once it’s born.

Susan went on a hunt to get their dead beat neighbors to pay Mike the money they owed him, but claim they couldn’t pay because times were tough. She thought it would be easy enough to cry and pout, but it didn’t work. These were major manipulators, so Susan got dirty with them . . . and they paid! Unfortunately then the IRS came knocking on their doors. So Mike and Susan’s money troubles have only begun. I’ll post a Mike and Susan spoiler at the end, with a little discussion! I honestly didn’t expect the IRS twist here. I simply thought Susan the Terminator would single handily ruin Mike’s rep with the neighbors and thus his business.

Bree, Andrew and Orson discussed how to deal with Sam. They decided to pay him off. It didn’t work, and only pissed him off. In the end, he told Bree she would sign over her entire company to him . . . or he’d go to the cops with the dirt a drunk Danielle told him a few weeks back. Seems Sam knows Andrew once ran down Carlos’ mother! I totally forgot all about that. Wow way to dig up the past and surprise me. However I am loathing Sam. Does he really think anyone wants anything to do with him running Bree’s company? That he can do what Bree does? He’s an idiot, and he’s messed with the wrong woman. It will be interesting to see what happens. I expect Bree to take him down hard.

Gabby, on a quest to make the perfect lasagna for Carlos, went to Angie for help. She didn’t realize Angie and Tyler were being held hostage until the very end of the show, when the lasagna Angie made her had a secret note in it screaming for help. Patrick had it in his head that Angie would make him another bomb he could use in more of his environmental terrorism. Tyler meanwhile was tied up in another room and apparently learned the truth from PAtrick, who expected Tyler to come around and hate Nick and Angie when he thought about it. I have to say I am not a fan of Patrick the Eco-Terrorist. He’s not only nuts, but so is his quest. I guess in that way it does make his nuttiness seem more realistic. I mean he’s going around blowing up lumber camps and what not to save the environment? I think blowing stuff up is not helping the environment, ozone or greenhouse gasses! I also have a feeling both Patrick and Angie might go out together in the finale, with Nick taking Tyler.

SPOILER BELOW!

Ausiello has spoiled that Mary Alice’s crazy husband is returning in the finale, and will be a full time character on Wisteria Lane. Last we saw he was sent off to jail, framed by Mrs. Hubar for killing her (remember she cut off her finger or something to frame him, knowing he did kill her sister). I can’t wait to see him back! Better him than his crazy kid Zac that’s for sure!
