Over at the Delfino's, Susan gives Julie a cell phone as a peace offering for attempting to deny her a college education. Susan tells Julie that she was prepared for her to leave the house in the fall, or the next time a moon-faced sailor happened by the house, but was just scared to be left alone with Mike and Maynard so soon. Susan warns Julie that she will call everyday and Julie needs to be prepared to answer questions about how to use the washing machine or where they keep the unguent.
Bree and Orson arrive at the wedding, with Bree once again insisting that accepting a ride does not mean that she will sleep with him, a character trait she learned by doing the exact opposite of Gaby. Lee sees the wingless fat baby ice sculpture and flies into a rage at Bob for deliberately disobeying his wishes. Bob tries to sooth the Dan Savage beast but this time it's personal, and Lee calls off the wedding stating that Tom warned him about this.
"Plus I faked every one! That's right. I spat on your back!"
Lynette and Tom take Lee and Bob into the house to fix the mistake that could cause Bree to kill them all. Seriously, she would murder them. I know it's all funny, "haha, Bree's gonna kill them." No, seriously. She would murder them. Tom tells the boys that he doesn't regret what he said to Lee. It was true that Lee needs to stand his ground, and they need to deal with these issues directly because when something bad happens, something really bad like a tornado or cancer, they need to know that they can lean on each other no matter what. Lynette reads into the subtext and realizes that Tom is speaking about their relationship, a fact that was lost on me until my boyfriend explained it to me. Lee and Bob see Tom's point and decide that they do indeed want to get civily unionized.
Across town Adam stumbles out of the abandoned warehouse just in time to highjack a passing car and race to Katherine's rescue. Maybe.
While Carlos is dressing for the wedding his super powered spider senses make him realize that Ellie is standing in the room with him. When he goes downstairs to tell Gaby, Gaby immediately rushes up the stairs to save her money. As Gaby retrieves the bag of lute from under the bed, Ellie appears and tries to grab it. A sexy catfight ensues causing both ladies to tumble down the stairs, knocking over Carlos. As Ellie and Gaby grapple with the duffel bag of money Carlos runs to the door to scream for help only to yell into the closet. The only thing stronger than Gaby's commitment to save her own life, is her determination to save the money so she successfully wrestles away the bag from Ellie and runs out the front door and alert the police who were watching the house for Ellie's return, obviously not very well.
Orson? Orson are you there?
While Wayne holds Katherine hostage, Katherine begins to question Wayne's method. Right now she's just his crazy ex-wife, but if she turns up dead then he will have no one to pin it on. Luckily Ellie enters the back door at that moment and grabs a knife. She tells Wayne that she doesn't want any trouble and just needs to hide out there for a while until the heat dies down and as long as he cooperates nothing bad will....O no he shot her. With Katherine's gun nonetheless. Looks like fate just gave him an alibi.
Poor Mallory. She didn't deserve this.
Bree is marveling at her beautiful work when Miss McCluskey comes up to shower praise on Bree and Katherine for all of their hard work. Bree tells Miss M. that Katherine left town and therefore all of the praise should be showered on Bree and Bree alone. Miss M. tells Bree that she just saw Katherine less than an hour ago which makes Bree realize that Katherine is a lazy liar and needs to be taught a lesson, so Bree storms over to Katherine's house. As Bree beats on Katherine's door Miss M. gives the police a statement regarding Ellie's whereabouts as Wayne pulls Bree into the house directly behind them.
The hat ma'am. Tell us where you got the hat. We're just looking for the supplier here, not the little gu...old woman.

Firstly, great recap as usual.
However, I am having some poblems with the actual show. First: Why was Wayne beating the crap out of Adam, and almost killing him? If he wanted to know what happened to Dylan why didn't he just ask? Confusion. Second: Why did Katherine have to go all the way to Romania to find a fake Dylan, and how did she have time? Confusion. Third: Do you think that Lynette will stop wearing wigs next season, and put on some damn makeup? Confusion. Fourth: Where was Bree's "child" this whole episode? Why didn't she bring him to play poker like Susan did? CONFUSION!!
I have been watching Desperate Houswives since the beginning and even though it can be utterly ridiculous, I still watch. However, I am excited about next season, and seeing Gabby's chubby Latina children.

I'm not even done reading the recap, but I just wanted to point out that I nearly spit out my tea when I saw the caption underneath the pic of Carlos looking into the closet. Hi.lar.ious.
I thought Wayne did ask Adam where/who she was and that we weren't shown that so that we'd get the dramatic impact later when we saw Adam's face again. I figured every time Wayne asked a question, Adam just said nothing and Wayne hit him.
I think Katherine went to Romania because she's extra and she, like Bree, probably just wanted to ensure that there was no way anyone in the States could call her out on Dylan not being her child. (Or maybe she's just an Angelina fan.) And I think she would have had the time (to go), I mean she'd probably just run away from her Wayne again, and needed to leave town before anyone realized her daughter was "missing."
As for Lynette, I've no clue. I HOPE she goes back to her hair, five years is a good enough time period for her to grow her hair back.
And I don't know where Bree's (grand)child was either. Probably in Susan's bassinet? Maybe they just thought we wouldn't notice? Perhaps if Bree (and Orson by stalker association) hadn't been gallivanting everywhere throughout the whole episode, it wouldn't have been so obvious. You would never think they'd "had" a child.
And though I'm not finished yet, I'm sure I'll continue to love this awesome recap. Thanks!

oh Fozzie, this can't be the end . . . sniff . . . what will I do without your darker than a black hole wit and charm!!!! BOOWHOOWHOOWHOO!!!
Have to say I really enjoyed this epi, and the recap was deliciously scathing as well!
Romania . . . huh . . . but for once the season mystery paid off pretty well. Seems the writings on the wall for the inevitable Susan/plumber break, so I'm glad they just advanced 5 years instead of dragging us through that snooze fest.
Kath is still an evil step-bot, despite her story, and if they get rid of Edie, I'll be very mad!!!! She's my favorite cougar!!!
I'm not a Gabby fan, but it might be fun to see her character go so far off it's beaten path . . . w or w/out carlos--I mean, I know he's blind, and not nearly as much fun as he was, for instance, he would know the door, blind or not, but for some reason, he's not stripped once since the accident . . . it's not right!!!!
I sincerely hope that little Kayla is back as the teenage vixen we can root for, and the whole reason they advanced 5 years is coz of her (or did they find that botox is cancerous and they wanted a ready excuse for the sudden aging all around)
Lastly, I'd have hit the minister, mmmmm . . . . me likes some big Daddy pee-paw with cleft chins!

I am so confused about this whole flash forward thing.
Are they going to start the next season 5 years later? Seriously, what the hell?
If they do that, I'm gonna be PISSED. Or are they just giving us a taste of the future or something? Confusing.
This season honestly did nothing for me - it was pretty blah. And completely far-fetched. I mean, Housewives has never been known for its realistic storylines, but this one took the cake, for me.
A good recap for a "meh" season. Thanks Fozzie.
