In case you missed last night's Desperate Housewives season end-er, you might want to get some Dramamine because the amount of character returns and exits will give you the spins.
SPOILER ALERT
Paul Young will be Susan's renter as she has to take her family and move behind a gas station. So you know Susan and Co. will be back after Paul causes some trouble and leaves in a more dramatic manner next season. I really should write for this show.
Anyone else having a hard time calling him Paul rather than Duck?
But before Susan finished selling her last yard-sale item, there was a lot more drama to be had on Wisteria Lane.
Eddie, the serial killer, held Lynette hostage then helped deliver Lynette's baby as hapless Tom nursed his hangover. Most unrealistic birth scene yet? Maybe. Also of note, 1) a serial killer was grossed out by childbirth, 2) Lynette's home birth allowed her to be up and walking the next day chatting with the ladies as they bid farewell to Susan.
Angie was forced by Patrick to build a bomb as Gabby busted Nick out of the hospital to save Angie and her son. Of course you don't mess with Drea de Matteo, and it was a beautiful double-cross where Patrick found himself on the business end of said bomb. Another exit.
Orson left Bree as she gave in to a blackmailing Sam in order to keep her son out of prison. The hypocrisy was too much for Orson to take (and I'm sincerely hoping Kyle MacLachlan returns to David Lynch movies as a result).
Nurse Teresa Pruitt, who helped deliver most of the Wisteria Lane babies, passed away after confessing a horrible baby secret to the priest and hospital staff. Yep, one of those babies isn't really Lynette/Susan/Gabby/Bree's own. Cliffhanger!
The Tally:
Departures -- Susan, MJ, Mike, Patrick, Nick, Angie, Danny, Eddie, Orson, Nurse
Arrivals -- new baby girl, Paul Young

Paul Young coming back! Oh my gosh! Ahh.. I am still in shock and I am wondering who's kid isn't who's! I think it would be crazy if it weren't Gabys after all she went through with the adoption and mixed up babies before! But then again.. it could be MJ and that is what brings Susan back to the Lane.
Booooooring season finale! Zero suspense. No subplot featured housewife interaction. Neither Lynette's baby nor Angie's bomb stretched out till the end of the episode. Gaby's heroism turned out to be unnecessary and Susan's primary subplot was her moving into a rental. I thought the three separate story lines with evil men--Patrick, Eddie and Sam--was interesting and suspected they would come together at the end, maybe with all three getting (or appearing to be) killed by the bomb or creating a cliffhanger involving the ladies. This was very tepid, weak even for a midseason transitional episode without guest stars. Fans deserve better.
I think the baby mix-up is somehow gonna make Eddie turn out to be Lynette's kid after all. Other than that, I really don't think the show was all that great for a season finale. I've seen much better. And making Mike and Susan leave is really something stupid. Are they leaving the show? Cause if not, then why make them move. There are other houses on the block Paul Young could've moved into. And when will they bring back that bitch of a child Tom had with that crazy woman?
I agree with the others. I think the season ender left something to be desired. You don't see Eddie being arrested, you don't see the aftermath of the bomb or the police all over Wistera because of it, you don't see Tom's reaction to the baby being delivered by a murderer. I have to wonder if they did that so they can fall back on this episode next year maybe? Paul coming back wasn't that huge of a thing for me either. I can say it wasn't a cliffhanger like the past two years that leaves me drooling for more.
Bigger shocker of last night: baby mix-up.
I'm having a hard time thinking of why Paul is back....he's probably out to get someone. I'm sure next season will revisit all of this and tie up the looose strings...they usually do.
Dawn...that would be a very interesting twist if Eddie really is Lynette's
I LOVED it. Cant wait to see what next season holds! Also cant wait to get it on extended DVD and re-watch it all like I have the last 5 yrs lol
