With Katherine and Bree being held at gunpoint, Wayne decides to use Bree as a bargaining chip so that Katherine will tell him where his daughter is. As he lowers the gun prepared to shoot Bree in the kneecap, Katherine finally decides to reveal the awful truth to her ex-husband, and most importantly us. Finally!
One night months after Katherine had left Wayne and moved to Wisteria Lane, she had asked Mary Alice to babysit while Katherine and Aunt Lily went to see Showgirls. When they returned Mary Alice said that Dylan was an angel and was very excited when her father stopped by to give her a gift. Katherine and Lily both rush into the house to find Dylan safely asleep, clutching the doll that Wayne had given to her.
"Thanks for letting me baby sit. I'm going to go home and clean my gun."
As Dylan slept, Katherine started to pack up determined to move again. Unfortunately Wayne returned before she could leave. Before Katherine went downstairs to see Wayne she took the doll from Dylan and placed it on top of the heavy, oak antique curio cabinet in Dylan's room to prove that Wayne's gifts weren't welcome there.
Hey, don't punish the doll!
Katherine and Wayne argued in the living room about his right to see his daughter, with Katherine telling Wayne that she was not going to let him start beating on his daughter when she spoke out of turn or didn't have dinner on the table by six the way he had done to Katherine. Wayne had come at Katherine but she grabbed a candle stick and smashed him over the head with it and sent him running away from the house vowing to come back.
I survived a season of American Gothic. I'm a survivor, dammit!
Katherine had been so pleased with herself for having finally stood up to Wayne that she thought it was all finally over. She fell asleep on the sofa, content with her girl power, until she heard her aunt scream from upstairs. Katherine ran to her aunt to find Lily kneeling over the fallen curio cabinet with Dylan's arm lying limp and cold from underneath. Dylan had awoken in the night to find her doll missing. When she saw it on top of the cabinet, she had tried to retrieve it only to have the cabinet fall over, crushing and killing her instantly. Katherine stood helpless for a moment before getting that motherly rush of adrenaline and tossing the cabinet off of her daughter's body.
Phew. The doll's ok. That's an antique!
Lily convinced Katherine that she could not go to the police since Wayne would convince them that Katherine had killed Dylan to prevent Wayne from taking her. Katherine and Lily buried Dylan's body in the woods, which was the grave marker that Katherine had visited a few weeks back. Katherine knew that Wayne would never stop looking for her so she devised a plan to protect herself. She visited a Romanian orphanage after getting the idea from an episode of Absolutely Fabulous and had met a young girl who looked just like Dylan, right down to the big blue eyes and shiny glamorous hair. Katherine adopted the girl and fled with her knowing that if and when Wayne returned he would think the girl was Dylan, which is why Katherine had raised her as such.
Can you act? No? Great!! You're a perfect match!
After Katherine conveys the story, Wayne raises the gun to her to punish Katherine for killing his daughter. Downstairs Adam races in and calls for Katherine, prompting Wayne to race off to kill him. As Bree frantically unties the triple Charlie slipknot with a galley tree loop, they hear the scuffle of the two men downstairs. Everything falls silent before Adam comes in the room holding the gun.
When the three walk downstairs they see Wayne gasping on the floor from a superficial gunshot wound to his shoulder. Bree, the consummate host, offers to take Adam to the kitchen to clean up his wounds and leaves Katherine to hold Wayne prisoner until they can call the police. Wayne doesn't quite know when to shut up as he starts telling Katherine that he will not go to prison and he'll be back for her when she least expects it. O yes, one day he will return and seek his revenge for....o good, she shot him.
When I can move my arm again I'm gonna elbow your face.

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.
