I thought this finale was pretty good but seriously not one of the best.

Angie sure made it amazing with her trickery, Gaby was hilarious because it was so nice to see her as part of the mystery for a change. I think that made Season 6 so special because the 2 mysteries involved Gaby and Lynette instead of Bree and Susan who always get the mystery in other seasons.

Lynette's pregnancy coming to an end was a major relief because I was wondering when she'd actually have the baby. It was definitely a long season of her being pregnant in my opinion. I think that her situation with Eddie moved WAY too quickly when she turned him in because I didn't feel like it wrapped it up enough.

As for Bree's storyline, I seriously can't believe it. She lost practically everything in her life except her house and her own life. It was about time they brought up the secret she's kept from Gabby since Season 1 about Andrew hitting Carlos' Mother. I was very happy (though it was sad) that Orson left her because finally there should be no drama with them anymore and she is a major hypocrite. I agree with him wanting to leave her. Though I do hope that Gaby will still be her friend, I think it will work out but be a rough road for them in the next season.

Susan leaving the lane was extremely sad, since season 5 she actually started becoming a better character to me. I know she'll be back but that's all I can say on that.

All together, I think this season finale was good in the fact that it left us with more than one cliffhanger: Someone's child not being their own, Gaby and Bree's friendship up in the air, and the return of Paul whose living in Susan's house!!!! Of all people it had to be her and Mike!

GOD! It's going to be a long wait.

I thought the season finale was amazing and definitely one of the best for me. It's my second favorite finale, a long with season one's finale, season four's being my favorite. But I might change my mind cause' the last time I saw the season four finale was more than a year ago. :s

Anyways, I loved this episode, one of the best of the season. Susan's storyline was so sad, and I'm SO glad she has something new. A housewife moving off the lane is definitely very interesting. I loved her breakdown scene, where she blamed Mike. That was perfection. My favorite drama scene in the episode.

Bree's was really good, and Orson's gone, so I'm not complaining. I'm very happy they brought back the hit-and-run from season one. I'm also happy that Gaby and Bree finally have a storyline together. It's been a long time since that happened. Also, not sure if I want Sam back. :/

Lynette's storyline with Eddie was rushed. But it was still great. I think a lot of people were annoyed that the writers made Eddie so good in he finale, while they made him a monster throughout the season. I disagree. Eddie said he wished Lynette was his mother. They had a very special bond. She cared for him, especially since her mother and his were very similar. But it did feel rushed. I loved the scene where she turns him in though. Second favorite drama scene.

Now, the mystery, in terms of the "revelation", was very disappointing, cause' there was no secret to reveal. No flashbacks, no explanations, nada. Nonetheless, this season's mystery was amazing, but it disappointing because there was no secret in the end. Although, in terms of the bomb and Angie VS. Patrick storyline, that was brilliant. I loved the explosion scene. I wanted to go and hug Angie for being so damn clever. I did NOT see it coming. And the fact that Gaby was involved makes it the more amazing. I'm so sad Angie left the show. She was fantastic and she grew on me real quick. And Drea was awesome playing her. She'll be missed.

And yeah, I love that we have more than one cliffhanger. I can't wait to find out who the child is. Paul returning is so awesome. Speaking of Paul, he's the first mystery character to appear before next season's premiere since Orson in season two. I'm looking forward to see his mystery. And I'm expecting Felicia to appear next season at some point.

I think the reason for not having mystery-related flashbacks - ah, I wanted to see the explosion where that man was killed - and Lynette's storyline feeling rushed was because it was a one hour finale. There was too much happening. Susan moving off the lane, Lynette and Eddie, the mystery and Gaby, Bree and Sam, the baby switch. That's too much for one episode. If we were to have a two hour finale, it would've been even more amazing.

The wait is gonna be so hard. We have what? About four months left. Damn.
