I must say, this finale was slightly better than that of its soon-to-be-separated sister show Grey's Anatomy, which showed in the ratings as well (after months of Housewives being behind Grey's in the ratings, its finale edged it out by a few hundred thousand viewers). With the entrance of a few new mysterious characters, and the exit of a few we didn't like anyway, it looks like Wisteria Lane is getting the reorganization that it needs.
The look on Kyle Maclachlan's face in the close-up after he ran over Mike was creepy enough to have me running back and forth across my basement floor (that and the fact that Mike was laying unconcious in the middle of the street).
Finally Susan and Karl are over, even after he tried to win her over with a big house and a pool — a shameless attempt to thwart Mike's proposal plans. We find out that Matthew was actually the one who killed Melanie Foster (who was an annoying little bitch anyway), not Caleb. Gabrielle has kicked Carlos out of the house for having sex with the newly pregnant Xiao Mei. And Lynette and Tom now have to deal with Nora, the mother of Tom's 11 year old daughter.
And to top it all off, the creepy as hell Orson gives Bree flowers as a romantic gesture at the end of the episode — and as a friend pointed out — the same flowers no doubt that Mike was holding when he was hammered by Orson's car and triple-axeled into the street. It should be an interesting Season Three.
Hopefully the recent dynamism of Housewives can stay afloat through to the next season, which I'm assuming by the intrigue of the Orson storyline will be the case. Listen to your cast, Marc Cherry, if you won't listen to us! And can we get some more hot guys with their shirts off? Honestly — without Jesse Metcalfe and the lack of James Denton, we're left drooling over the slovenly Lee Tergensen. Sheesh.

Wait! Back up a sec. Okay, Orson was Charlotte's hubby on Sex and the City. Know who Caleb is, Melanie does not interest me. Who's Matthew? Did Carlos not die after all?

I'll take drooling over Lee Tergesen any day. He's the only character who interested me this season. It's too bad he won't be back next season.
Without Lee and with the writing as bad as its been (the season finale was marginally OK), I don't know if I will be, either.

Carlos didn't die--Gaby just thought he had.
