I thought this episode was one of the best "sweeps" episodes since the Tornado episode. Some people think it is a bit far fetched how the plane happens to crash on that particular street but I like that the show did a good job of putting reason behind the disaster.

The ending of this episode simply catches my breath because of the fight between Gaby and Lynette and how one of the two changes both their lives forever.

Also Katherine had a pretty intense scene in this episode as well. Overall this was definitely my second favorite episode of the season.

[Manar]

Yeah, this was an amazing episode. I loved it. And I thought the reasoning behind the plane crash is clever. I'm glad it wasn't some random reason. Although I prefer "Bang" and "Something's Coming" to this one, it was still amazing.

I loved Katherine's breakdown, Lynette and Gaby's friendship hitting the rock, Dylan's return. And the plane crash scene near the end was SO intense and I loved how Lynette saved Celia. But I wasn't too crazy about the Bree/Orson/Karl storyline. Something just felt off with their storyline in this episode. The cliffhanger was great, though. God, I wish Orson was the one who was crushed by the plane.

[Brando]

I wish it had been Orson as well but I don't think the season would have gone the way it had if it hadn't been Karl. I enjoyed the Bree's storyline for the rest of the season and I was glad to see her snap out of it because she's not a very good character for an affair.

I loved how Lynette saved Celia and I actually saw some Behind the Scenes interviews before the episode aired and it showed them filming that scene. It also showed Lynette push Celia out of the way and ram her stomach into a giant Christmas present decoration (leading to her storyline in "IF") so I was rather dissapointed that they didn't show that. I hope it will be a deleted scene on the DVD.
