Using her unwanted pregnancy as a bargaining chip, Gabrielle (
Eva Longoria) sets up several conditions before agreeing to help Carlos (
Ricardo Antonio Chavira) reduce his prison time -- but it looks like all bets are off when Carlos finally learns about Gabby's affair with John (
Jesse Metcalfe). Armed with all the facts pertaining to his mother's suicide -- not to mention a deadly weapon -- a vengeful Zach (Cody Kasch) takes Susan (
Teri Hatcher) hostage. Lynette's (
Felicity Huffman) hubby, Tom (
Doug Savant), intends to extract full retribution for her getting him fired. Bree (
Marcia Cross) still hasn't figured out why Rex's (
Steven Culp) health has taken a turn for the worse (the "reason" does not appear in this episode). And in anticipation of things to come, new neighbor Betty Applewhite (
Alfre Woodard) already shows signs of having dark secrets of her own when she shuns a friendly welcoming visit from Edie Britt (
Nicollette Sheridan). This ironically titled cliffhanger was the final episode of
Desperate Housewives'
first season. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
