The best episode of Desperate Housewives EVER

[@GFI888]

I had forgotten how beautiful the music was in this series. Amazing scene even after all these years.

[@Mmmmmmmmz11]

-No you're not! I can tell. Please tell me what's wrong. Let me save you. - You can't. - Why not? - Sweetie, you can't prevent what we can't predict. - Isn't there anything I can do? - Yes. Yes, you can enjoy this beautiful day. We get so few of them..

I started crying hysterically when Lynette said "Isn't there anything I can do?" Reduced to a puddle of tears

SAME!

[@brandontaylor1985]

The ending made me take a break from the show. I needed time to reflect on life, my mortality, and the privileged to live each day...

[@Mockingjay995]

What you said is so .. :) i can understand. This ending in so meaningful, it touched me so much like a lot of things that Mary Alice says throughout all the seasons. I still don't understand how just a TV show can bring us so much..

Best episode was the one with the possum and how symbolic it was when she was trying to kill the possum that represented her cancer only to find out she was cured and the possum was killed. So sad when she realized it she wept in the backyard in sorrow yelling “I’m sorry!” As a beautiful melody of powerful music played in the background. “THAT” was the best episode.

[@HeyMyLifeIsLibby]

The scenes with Mary Alice in person were all pure gold. She added so much soul to this show. Brenda did a phenomenal job.

[@matteomalavasi6080]

All the most important scenes of this tv show are framed by fantastic melodies that underline meanings and sentiments. Fantastic.

[@xxLastTimeAroundxx]

Notice how everyone was cheering BUT Bree when Julie was alive and only was she happy when Lynette was found alive. True friendship.

[@LibraryDude1983]

Forgot...why was Bree primary concern?

[@rafaelvianaart]

@@LibraryDude1983 Because she told the things that made the woman start to shot on everybody at the market.

[@TJMalana]

@@LibraryDude1983 And don’t forget Bree’s new husband Orson was season 3’s new mystery and all his secrets tied into the Carolyn shooting the supermarket. Also the dark mystery surrounding Orson Hodge nearly cost Bree her own life when his mother tried to kill her.

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

@@TJMalana That's not why Carolyn started shooting people, she snapped because of her husband's constant cheating... Unless I misremember something

[@Chipsomedip]

I have watched the whole series several times and I still get emotional watching this scene. The music and the message are just so powerful.

[@roburipa3495]

One of my most treasured scenes from this show, only second to when Bree gets the call that Rex has passed away. Amazing acting and the MUSIC is superb! Best show I've seen in awhile.

[@miggy25]

I absolutely LOVED this episode...Dramatic, funny, with a tragic twist...Lynette's dream of Mary Alice almost brought tears to my eyes...best episode of the show I've seen

[@SoapFreak]

Absolutely the best episode they ever did. Raw, emotional, shocking. And the scene you've posted made me cry back then... and still does. Perfection.

[@Waldorf1981]

Steve Jablonsky is such an amazing composer. While Danny Elfman composed the title score, Steve did the score throughout the series. So beautiful.

[@Mockingjay995]

So many people must have felt this way when losing a loved one to suicide. The feeling of guilt not being able to save the other one.

Yes, unfortunately.

[@kasebrotchen643]

best episode of all seasons, one of the best footage of all serials, tv-shows, films ever aired ....

[@Gabysdv]

Why did Lynette have the courage to talk to Mary Alice in this last dream ? This is such a beautiful moment.

[@fadyalhachem]

Sunshine because she stood up in front of the psycho woman in the supermarket. She did that because I guess she was guilty for not helping Mary Alice. & when she confronted the woman, it's like subconsciously she was able to offer help for Mary Alice. I cry every time I see this scene

[@Sandra.Dieguez]

I miss this show so much, I can't believe how much I've learned from it and how it made me grow as a person. I hope it comes back someday

[@mbbx4ms3]

The music, acting and words are soo beautiful in this scene. I've never watched something that makes me cry as much as this. So powerful and poignant.

[@sherylAA]

A lot of people think many episodes including this one is the best episode.. So what ive I've noticed in each of those best episodes was Lynnette being the main story line in each of the episodes (imo). She was by far the best character.

[@tylercooper7495]

Without going too in depth, they're all neighbors (well most of them) on Wisteria Lane. Lynette Scavo (the blonde lady) was trapped along with many others inside the grocery store when someone was holding them hostage. They all made it out alive, but Lynette was shot. She was sent to the hospital and she had a dream of a friend that used to live on Wisteria Lane with them that killed herself. Lynette feels guilty she didn't stop her from doing it, but "we can't prevent what we can't predict."

[@seanluve]

[@Snake3yesEddie]

This scene hits me every time. On my 25th I was out celebrating, I got a text from my friend. It said “I can’t go on, phone me” but caught up in the excitement of celebrating, I misread it as “I can’t go out, phone me”. I thought he was telling me he won’t be able to come out with us. later I got another text it just said “I’m sorry” Again I thought he was just apologising that he could not make it out that night. When I read this, I replied back just letting him know it was fine, he didn’t need to worry. It’s probably not difficult to work out what happened, but unfortunately yes he had taken his life that morning. It kills me to think about that night, it feels like not a day goes by when I don’t think it. I replay it over and over and I hate myself for not taking just a few seconds to read it properly and even more so for not replying to his first message. Just like this scene, I often play out that moment and wish I could just go back and change everything, I could have saved him but instead I failed him. When watching this, the part that breaks me is when she says “Enjoy this wonderful day, we get so few of them”. It’s true.

[@bernardomello842]

I'm sorry for your loss. I have too been affected by a loved one's suicide. My aunt killed herself and, from what I could gather, in the last conversations she had with people she expressed how lonely she was, how she felt nobody loved her. But I did, I loved her a lot. But we get so caught up in life. It's no excuse. I should've called her more often, I should've been more present. Maybe, just maybe, she would still be alive. But as the scene shows us, there's no point in punishing myself for not being able to 'save' her. I can only, in her memory, make life more meaningful and enjoy its beautiful days.

[@Robertiena]

You may not believe in such things, but our subconscious controls what we consciously do during our days, and we are all connected by it. Once your friend had decided their life is over to such degree that it got imprinted on their subconscious mind, nothing could have been done, all actions taken by them and everyone else would have lead to this exact outcome. This is why your mind made you misread the message, the suicide was set in motion way before the text was sent, so there is nothing you could've done that day which would change the outcome. I am sorry for your loss

[@enterme]

Omg, I am so sorry for your loss.

[@lukasdurkac3977]

Yes,We get so few of them ❤ My collegue (37) committed a suicide this year. She had 2 wonderful small children and a husband. We had no idea that she had problems, it was absolutely devastating for us. It makes you think . Could i have done/ said something differently? Could i have helped her/ relieved her pain? Then 4 months later my neigbor jumped out of his window when we were cooking in the kitchen. He was 30. He was still alive when we rushed to his rescue. I don’t think i will ever get this picture out of my head. I just wish someone could have helped them. But as alice said, we can not prevent what we can not predict. Poor souls💔

[@maciejjaroszewski]

Im very connected to DH. Feels like real family to me.

[@alanyuan8565]

Mary Alice almost never mentions herself in her relationship to the characters.

[@mikeve5296]

Mary Alice and Lynette. Lynette wants to help Mary Alice so much and she can't. If this scene doesn't make you cry, there is something wrong with you. I wish they had gone back in time one season when Mary Alice was alive. This is one way they could bring the show back too.

[@Itsbritney94]

Mike VE that’d be really interesting, if my memory’s not wrong they never truly explained to us how Martha Huber discovered Mary Alice’s secret so a season about that could be great.

[@ImaginaryVoncroy]

For me the best moment was when Rex died - Bree's acting there is perfect...

[@kylerainey6315]

I can’t burden my friends with the things that pain me so much, especially about those things that happen in life where all of the details of what happens is those things in life that cannot be explained which is why I love this show so much because it so beautifully captures those things in life that cannot be explained. I relate to the pain they feel and experience. No wonder it went on as long as it did.

[@nicebadguy18]

[@817exo]

if you think about it, it is even more depressing because she was the face of someone who had it all together and considering that they didn't know a single thing about "her past", it makes it even more heartbreaking the fact that to them it would seem like she took her life tragically and without much thought. I would definitely feel like this and more if my friend took their life.
