The two start meeting frequently and discussing what happened and how they are dealing with their feelings about the matter, and try to help each other mutually, which has repercussions. Meanwhile, Bree tries to find out if her boyfriend Chuck did indeed send her the note that mimicked the one that drove Mary Alice to suicide.
However, she discovers otherwise, and later breaks up with Chuck just as he is about to propose to her, which makes him get really mad, and vindictive. Bree is seen by her mailbox, building up the courage to look inside. She does so, sorts through the mail, cautiously, and Gabrielle sneaks up behind her and tells her that doesn't look too suspicious, prompting Bree to be startled. She apologizes to her friend, saying she's been jumpy lately because of the letter they received. Gaby reminds her that it has been three weeks, so maybe they are out of the woods, so if someone was trying to blackmail them, they're not very good at it.
Bree wonders what happened to them, if they just disappeared, and Gaby says "If we're lucky. However, Detective Chuck Vance is later given a missing person's report with the picture of Alejandro on it Bree later finds out that it was Ben's employees who dug up the body , and Ben agrees to help cover it up after thinking about it for a while. He hires Mike Delfino to dispose of the cadaver properly, under the site of the construction, and Mike does so, in a manner akin to how Deirdre Taylor , his former girlfriend and Mary Alice's victim, was buried.
Meanwhile, Chuck Vance , on the trail of Ramon Sanchez, the missing person he once saw hanging about on Wisteria Lane - who happens to be Alejandro, grills and intimidates Bree, and comes to realize that she is lying about not knowing who Ramon is. Bree feels more and more shaken by his presence, and, after being shunned by her friends, gives back in to her alcoholism. However, he is suddenly run over by an unseen driver.
Bree's life spirals out of control as she gives in to despair, losing all grip. She checks into a motel, staying in the same room where she used to consort with Karl Mayer , and brings with her a bottle of chardonnay and a gun. After she puts them both down on the room's table, an inebriated Bree has a brief chat with none other than Mary Alice, who has appeared before her.
Bree asks her if she remembers how wonderful life was on the lane ; Mary Alice slightly nods. Bree smiles as she remembers her perfect life, complete with a doctor husband , two beautiful children and amazing friends. She begins to cry and asks what happened to her life, so the vision of Mary Alice says "Things change, Bree".
Bree tells Mary Alice that she's so unhappy, and after a moment of silence, she asks if Mary Alice is happy now. After a moment of thinking, Mary Alice says "I'm not unhappy". Bree gives her a blue smile. With that, the vision disappears and Bree is left alone, confused and distressed. She then picks up the gun with both her hands as she contemplates suicide. The black woman is horrified to find that Bree had planned to kill herself.
Bree breaks down and Renee decides to care for her neighbor, going so far as staying at Bree's housefor a while. The following morning, Bree tries to convince her neighbor that she is alright, and that she feels much better and non-suicidal, but Renee won't budge, and Bree soon learns that this is in part thanks to the fact that suicide hits home for Renee. During Chuck'sfuneral , Renee and Bree are sitting side by side in one of the pews, silently. Bree breaks the silence by asking Renee, "So, who was it?
After a short period of further silence, Renee finally says, "It was my mother. But I found her in time. And then, one morning, I saw that look in her eyes again She swore to me she'd be fine, so I I went to school. And by the time I got back Renee gets emotional as she tries to fight back the tears, and so does Bree, as she sympathizes with her story.
Bree tells her she's so sorry, and Renee sighs and says, "Yeah. That's what the note said, "I'm sorry". That's it. I don't have a mom for the rest of my life and she thinks those two little words are gonna make up for that. But somehow, when I was alone in that hotel room I forgot about all the pain she caused. Thank God. Renee faces her as well, and Bree continues: "You will always be the person who saved my life. And now that I've had time to think about it, I realize that makes you the best friend I'll ever have.
Some time later, Bree is horrified to receive in the mail something Mary Alice herself never got: a follow-up letter The amplitude of her vast sight then moves to cover Oklahoma , wherein a guilt-ridden Susan Delfino plans to send the message across to Ramon Sanchez's family - his wife Claudia and stepdaughter Marisa - that he is dead. Susan gets the impression that Alejandro abused Marisa as well, and reassures the young girl that he won't be getting back home.
When Bree starts spiraling further and further out of control as she gives in to booze and a looser conduct, Mary Alice is revealed not to be the only one watching over her, as someone else is shown to spend their time looking at the redhead Susan , Lynette and Gabrielle are somewhat disgusted by Bree's recent loose conduct, and they later decid to host an intervention, in which they reach out to their former friend and offer her their help.
Bree, inebriated, reveals to the three gals that she was so desperately miserable after they abandoned her that she actually considered suicide, and even checked into a motel with nothing but a bottle of chardonnay and a gun.
Her friends are alarmed by this, but Bree chooses to forego the intervention. Later, Bree is attacked by a possibly rapist outside her regular club, and her ex-husband, Orson , shows up to defend her, with Mary Alice then telling us that love can sometimes bring back people into our lives, much to our surprise.. Orson had witnessed the major events related to the murder of Alejandro , and thus sent Bree the note that drove her best friend to suicide, knowing the effect it'd have on her, and later killed Chuck when he vowed to ruin Bree's life, sending her a second letter afterwards.
Orson then decides to complicate Bree's life even further by sending the Fairview police documents telling them she was involved in the disappearance of Ramon Sanchez. The matriarch of Wisteria Lane tells us that everyday there are people we see regularly but whom we often take for granted, and adds that, in a short time, one person on the lane will be dead.
In the following days, several people go through life-threatening experiences: suicidal Karen McCluskey is almost run over, Bree Van de Kamp eats a poisoned pie, Jane Carlson chokes on a cheese puff and Juanita Solis almost falls from her rooftop.
However, Mike Delfino , Susan's husband and long-time Prince Charming, winds up being the one to bite the dust, when he is tragically shot in the heart by a loan shark he'd feuded with. Mary Alice caps off the moment by telling us that we all take the gift of life for granted, and it's a pity that we can't stop time, because before we know it, the gift is gone.
Mary Alice's first great friend on the lane, Susan, then mourns the sudden passing of the love of her life. A devastated Susan is shown selecting a coffin, a headstone and the outfit Mike wears to his grave. Afterwards, the day of the funeral, the narrator tells us what is going on inside the minds of her best friends as they all grieve the death of their friend and neighbor, and learn something from it.
Seeing Susan lose the love of her life makes Gabrielle think about the love of hers, which leads her to accept his decision to become a counselor. The ending of Susan's marriage gets Lynette thinking about the beginning of hers, which leads her to decide to get her husband back.
Bree is forced to take a detour from the funeral to be questioned by a detective , and she is reminded of how she'd handled powerful men in the past. And Susan is reminded of key moments in her marriage to Mike, and delivers a heartfelt, heart-wrenching speech before her friends and family members, dedicated to her beloved late spouse. Following the funeral, Mary Alice tells us that even though death takes so much from us, it also gives us something of value, for it teaches us what is truly important in life.
McCluskey takes the stand and falsely confesses to having killed Gaby's evil stepfather. Both Bree and Karen are cleared of all charges, and thus the cover-up finally reaches its happy ending. Martha Huber, wearing her well known multi-colored squared shirt, gets out of her house. Mary Alice Young gets out of the moving van, looking excited. Martha rushes over to her and gives her a big welcome to the neighborhood.
She introduces herself and extends her hand to Mary Alice, who shakes it and introduces herself as well. Mine's dead. Martha notices one of the movers bringing in a patio chair, and comments that she used to have a chair just like that, but it kept breaking so she threw it away. A dazed Mary Alice tries to excuse herself, saying that she should go help the movers, and tells Martha it was nice to meet her. Mary Alice enters her property and Mrs.
Huber follows her, saying she hardly knows anything about her. Mary Alice is clearly slightly annoyed, and when Martha asks her where she and her family are from, she is caught off-guard. She dismissively tells her "Up North. Mary Alice tells her it's a small town and she wouldn't know it, to which Huber responds: "Try me. Mary Alice says, "Well, it's no big deal, it's just Martha then realizes her neighbor is hiding something, and makes it her mission to figure out what that is.
We are then re-treated to Mary Alice's suicide, intertwined with a shot of some of the series' most notable moments. When Susan Delfino leaves the street, she is watched by several ghosts of people who had been a part of Wisteria Lane , including Mary Alice herself, the final ghost shown, who smiles as she looks at her best friend, leaving the lane, ready to take on whatever challenges life has lined up for her next.
She then provides her final narration, commenting about how people go about life the wrong way, trying to hide secrets that will refuse to stay hidden, whilst referring to the new resident of Susan's house , Jennifer , a new housewife, with a big secret The character is played by actress Brenda Strong , and narrates the series from beyond the grave; the character's suicide in the pilot episode served as the catalyst of the series.

Oh, Mary Alice, what did you do? There was a time when my husband and I were very happy. I remember warm summer afternoons. And backyard barbecues. And laughter with friends. Our life was like some kind of suburban dream.
But the day comes when we all must wake up It's only the best of friends who stay long after the party's over to help clean up. To cleanse the pain of a guilty conscience Yes, it's good to have friends who help clean up our messes. But every housewife knows that as soon as one mess is taken care of, another one appears. And we may find ourselves right back where we started. We've known that series creator Marc Cherry could eliminate any of them at any time without altering the show's core cast and concept.
But still, it was a hard moment in last night's finale when we learned that Rex Van De Kamp had died in his hospital bed. And that moment wasn't made any easier knowing that Rex the likable Steven Culp had passed out of the world wrongly believing that his wife, Bree, had murdered him.
Such was the pathos and tragedy of the season ender of ''Desperate Housewives. It also left a few new mysteries on deck for next season, including the possibility that Bree will fall into the arms of the psychotic pharmacist responsible for the death of her husband -- if, this being a soap opera, he is truly dead. We were also left wondering if Mike Delfino is the father of Zach Young, and we met some highly suspicious new neighbors, played by Alfre Woodard and Mehcad Brooks.
The Mary Alice mystery wrapped up, as we learned conclusively what we'd been piecing together for a few weeks now. They then moved to Wisteria Lane, where they changed their names and raised the baby as Zach. For an optimal experience visit our site on another browser. Share this —. Follow today. More Brands.
