A lot happened.

- The Scavos are splitting up. Better late than never. I've been
pulling for Tom to wring her neck for years, this will have to do.

- Felicia nearly killed Paul Young. After Susan helped Paul to
escape, he decided to come clean and admit to the police that he
really killed Martha Huber. I guess this was supposed to prove he
really was a good guy.

- Felicia presumably died in a car crash.

- Susan and Mike moved back into their old house after Paul left.

- Bree has a new boyfriend who isn't gay.

- Renee's ex-husband gets married and she gets drunk.

- Gabby's rapist step-father (who is supposed to be dead) showed up.
Long story short, Carlos killed him at the Solis house. Susan, Bree
and Lynette helped hide the body just before a group of friends
arrived for dessert. As a group of people stand around eating
cheesecake, the body is hidden in a trunk in the living room.

What did I forget?

So, will DH be canceled? Should it be canceled? If it's renewed I'll
probably watch next season. Hey, I still want to learn the identity
of the mystery woman Orson was talking to a few years ago.

You got your notes out before I could get mine together. This is what
I had:

The disjointed nature of the finale was the biggest evidence of a lack
of a central mystery this year. The first half concluded the Paul
Young-Felicia Tillman storyline from Season One, while the second half
revisited a certain element from that first episode. Susan's back on
the lane, Bree's rebounded from cougartown.

Desperate Housewives is very safe. It's biggest threat, CBS'
Undercover Boss has faded fast.

PS-- They retconned the stepfather being dead. Early on, the mags had
said that one of the characters had sexual abuse in her past. In real
life, I think this was Felicity Huffman. But a flashback of Gaby
running away had set that subplot rolling way back.

On the bright side, Carlos has probably made up with Bree.

I see that DH was renewed. So all the people who don't like it can
not watch it for another year! ;-)

If he does, please let me know. I might actually watch it.

<--- can remember when DH was actually funny

This would be one of the highest-rated DH's of all time.

It's still funny sometimes.

Do you think he is really dead? A weak pulse has fooled people before. It
would be funny if he opened the trunk at the party.

Okay, that would be funny.

Gabby could explain what happened and the rest of the party would jump
in and beat him to death.

At the risk of being politically incorrect, I have never understood
why the producers either 1) cast Doug Savant as a guy named "Scavo,"
or 2) decided that a guy named "Scavo" would look like a member of the
men's Swedish bikini team.

America is a melting pot. The last name tells you his paternal lineage,
but nothing about the maternal sides.

Phew! I thought my political incorrectness got me shafted. Of course
you're right. It's just that I've known a few people with that last
name (permutations on its spelling), and none had blond hair, blue
eyes, and Northern Germanic features.
