It’s the final season of Desperate Housewives and no one’s safe on Wisteria Lane.

True, the last hoo-ray from the drama-fueled show has been quite overshadowed by the juiciest trial ever, so it’s absolutely critical the show ends with a bang, or in standard D.H. fashion—a death.

And no, we’re not talking about the case of Mike Delfino and the on-the-stand spoiler—there’s another key player who will be KO’d in this final season in a plot twist even the savviest could never predict…

(Spoiler Alert: Don’t read further if you don’t want to know!)

Say goodbye to the sharp-tongued Karen McCluskey, played by two-time Emmy winner Kathryn Joosten.

There’s been mucho speculation McCluskey might be the next to go, considering her character is fighting lung cancer on the show, and now sources thisclose to production have confirmed the brassy broad will officially face her demise on the final episode.

But wait, that’s hardly the most shocking spoiler, right? Since Kathryn has revealed the disease is only going to escalate, it shouldn’t be surprising Marc Cherry chose now to kiss the beloved McCluskey goodbye.

Or is it…considering Kathryn’s rep told us “Marc Cherry vowed never to kill her off” and with the endless OMG moments we’ve seen over the past eight seasons, we’re hard pressed to believe the man responsible for some of the most jaw-dropping deaths on the boob tube would really let lung cancer take the loud-mouthed K.C. down. (Holy Housewives, not another Nicollette Sheridan case!)

Unless, of course, that’s exactly what Kathryn wanted:

“It’s no secret that I do have lung cancer and have had it for quite a while,” Joosten reminded Team Watch With Kristin in her sit-down last week. “I think that’d be a terrific idea, an opportunity to really get some public awareness, some discussion, maybe some information,” she explained when asked why she wanted her character to mimic real life, while also noting she was unaware of her character’s final fate.

But sources tell us that’s just not the case and Kathryn has not only given “Marc Cherry the OK to kill her character” but she’s also played an active role planning the death.

We’ve reached out to ABC for comment on the matter, but have yet to hear back.

Kathryn herself is not only a lung cancer survivor but has been also battling the disease on and off for the past 10 years. And she’s no stranger to using her personal life for inspiration—her guest roles on My Name Is Earl and Grey’s Anatomy both revolved around her character’s attempt to quit smoking.

So Kathryn, who is acutely aware of how precarious her life can be both on- and offscreen, decided, with Marc Cherry’s backing, that lung cancer is the way she wants her character to die.

And with all the real-life tragedies we’ve seen from this set, we’re happy someone has the guts to forever leave their mark.

“If Kathryn had her way, she would love to see Karen McCluskey take a machine gun and shoot them all down on Wisteria lane in a blaze of glory in the final episode,” joked a Joosten insider.

Well, no matter how the death goes down, at least Kathryn can laugh about it in her signature quick-witted ways.

We’ll miss you, Mrs. McCluskey—you were always one of our fave characters on Wisteria Lane.

The opening monologue for tonight’s Desperate Housewives included the words “but so many secrets led to a falling out” and as we move deeper and deeper into the season, we’re starting to see just how much this statement is true. The four ladies are, and have always been, about teamwork, something that has been falling to the wayside in the past few episodes.

Bree hears a noise in her house and calls 9-1-1 freaking out. Who should show up to investigate? None other than Chuck, who backhandedly starts to interrogates her about Gabrielle’s step-father on the night of the dinner party. When Bree defends herself, Chuck tells her she’s the victim in this situation. What makes him think that? Chuck answers with the obvious – someone is trying to rattle her, because they think she’d hiding something – or they want her to crack. He then tells her not to lose any sleep, because he’ll be keeping an eye on her. Creepy!

Gabrielle helps Carlos, who has had another “incident,” with his hangover. Carlos tries to apologize and Gabrielle tells him that he needs to get help before he falls apart. He tries to make himself go into work because he has to sign payroll, but Gabrielle offers to sign his name and go in for him. Meanwhile, in Susan’s art class, Zeller introduces a special guest – his art dealer, and owner of the Bergman Gallery, Felix Bergman. The little man amusingly goes around critiquing everyone’s paintings, causing Susan to dub him “a little ball of hate.” Of course, Susan’s painting of the ladies’ “confession” is the one thing Felix does like, prompting even Zeller to be surprised.

Lynette and Renee are in the middle of closing a deal with a client for their design firm, when Lynette realizes it’s her 22nd wedding anniversary. Their client tells her how she changed her life by changing her clothes and hair to show a different side of herself, causing Lynette to think that she’s giving up on her marriage too easily. Renee provides some insightful (and serious) advice here, and it’s a nice change to see Renee playing the sincere good friend role instead of someone who just wants sex.

Bree goes to Gabrielle and laments how bad things have gotten between the girls. She starts to tell her that Chuck came by, but chickens out on the details when she finds out that Gabrielle is still dealing with a drunk Carlos. Gabrielle goes to Carlos’ office to sign his paychecks, and finds out that Mr. Sweeney, one of the firm’s biggest clients, is coming in and wants to talk to Carlos. Of course, Gabrielle thinks she can handle things herself by sweet talking him which obviously doesn’t work. Thankfully, she’s saved by Jeffrey, a friend at the firm who gets Gabrielle to tell him what’s going on with Carlos, because he wants to help him get better. We know that this isn’t going to end well, and sure enough, we find out that Carlos’ supposed “friend” is really more of a backstabbing snake.

At Zeller’s studio, Felix is still drooling over Susan and her art. He wants to feature it in his gallery, and Susan, while flattered, knows exactly why this can’t happen and turns his offer down despite Zeller’s persistence. Lynette shows her new (crimped and curled) self off to Renee, who is a little surprised by the transformation of her friend. Renee can’t understand why if Tom is seeing Jane, he sent her flowers for their anniversary but Lynette is determined, saying she’s going to go over to his apartment (since she got the keys from Penny) and put a bottle of scotch on his nightstand, since that’s their “anniversary” thing.

Chuck shows up to bother Bree again, saying he’s “not done with her.” He continues to ask her about Gabrielle’s step-father, bringing up coincidences about the murder and tells her that he feels that something bad happened. He actually doesn’t think that Bree has done it, but he thinks she’s protecting her friends who have committed the crime. It was a nice moment in which Bree got to stand up for herself and defend her friends, telling Chuck she’ll protect them at whatever cost, no matter what happens. After eight years together, these women truly are family and this season is really bringing that loyalty out.

Gabrielle goes to find Jeffrey and right her wrong of ratting Carlos out. Jeffrey uses her to rat Carlos out in front of Mr. Sweeney, who asks Gabrielle to bring him to the house. He arrives to greet a still hungover Carlos, who thinks he’s there to yell at him. On the contrary, he’s come to try to convince Carlos to go into rehab, as Mr. Sweeney was also once in Carlos’ position.

Lynette sneaks into Tom’s apartment with the bottle of scotch, but doesn’t get far before Tom and Jane come home. She hides under the bed, and almost gets away with not being caught until they start making out, which causes her to freak out. She apologizes, saying she just wanted to bring him his scotch in return for the flowers and finds out that Tom didn’t technically send them – they were sent by accident because he wanted them sent every year. It’s almost a wake-up call for Lynette, who seems to realize that things really are over between them.

Zeller brings Susan to the gallery, saying that he did something she’s going to thank her for. Susan sees her photo displayed, and while Zeller thinks he did a good thing by helping her get over her terrified feelings of displaying her art, Susan is both mortified and worried at the fact her work will be seen by the public. She calls Bree and Gabrielle so that they can help pay for the painting and get it taken away. Despite their quick actions, Chuck shows up and calls them out on their crime (with surprising accuracy thanks to her paintings.)

Chuck tries to get the girls to confess and tell them who the body in the painting is, but the girls refuse to crack. Chuck evilly says that he’s more or less close to figuring everything out, but that he’s going to take his time because he wants to see “the ice princess break.” Gabrielle and Susan find out the secret Bree has been keeping to try to protect her friends (Alejandro being reported as a missing person) and become upset, leading hurt feelings to again divide the group. As we close the episode, we see Bree resort to drinking in order to deal with her issues.

This was an interesting episode, if not for the fact that it again kept one housewife out of the loop – something that I think will come into play later in the season. We know the ladies work best when they’re all together helping each other, and I’m beginning to think that their individual “personal” issues that are keeping them from confiding in each other will eventually come to head as this mystery grows more intense. What did you think?

A little melodrama on a Sunday evening never hurt nobody. Especially when the drama is happening on television. You can kick back and forget about the drama happening in your own life and dive into a fictious world of murder and mystery. Luckily for us, that is exactly what Desperate Housewives is offering on their eighth and final season.

Bree is still dealing with the drama surrounding the dead body she the other gals buried. Unfortunately, we found out last week that the body was dug up. But who did it?! Come to find out it was Bree’s man friend (the one starting to begin work on the property) that uncovered the buried corpse. Of course, Bree begs him not to tell the police and in a moment of weakness spills the beans and tells him that she is responsible for burying the body. At first he is not so sure he can keep her secret but comes around after awhile. It seems pretty clear that this guy has a bit of a crush on Bree. Who wouldn’t with that fabulous red hair?!

Susan and her art teacher are still arguing. This whole relationship seems a bit confusing. I am not sure why he is so hard on Susan and why she still puts up with his bad attitude. Fortunately, at the end of the episode we found out why Susan’s relationship with Andre is so crucial. Jump to the end of this post to found out what it is! She also dealt with quite a bit of girlfriend drama after she finds out that Bree, Gaby and Lynette kept secrets from her = regarding the dead body. The girls didn’t really think Susan could handle all of the excess drama surrounding the buried dead guy. She was not happy about being left out. I don’t blame her! I hate being left out of things. Don’t you?

Lynette tries to get her daughter to take her side in the whole separation from her husband thing. She is still jealous of Tom and his new girlfriend especially when Penny seems to be getting along fairly well with her dad’s new girlfriend. After successfully getting her daughter to take her side she realizes that this is the wrong tactic to use while trying to mend her broken home. Being the respectable woman that she is, Lynette drives Penny to meet her father for a little game of a catch. Penny doesn’t want to play but after some wise words from Mom she gives in and jumps out of the car to spend some quality time with her father. Lynette and Tom have got to get back together! They are my favorite couple on the show.

Gaby and Carlos need to find a couple to watch the girls in case anything happens to them. Trying to find the right pair to put in their will they decide on the gay couple down the street. Who better than to raise two girls? I’d vote for the gay couple too! After readying the girls for a dinner party Gaby and Carlos seem confident that they have done all they can to impress the men. Luckily all goes well at dinner and the boys seem more than content to be the elected couple…until Carlos closes the garage door. The girls got creative with some crayons and wrote ‘Gays R Stupid’. I was a bit shocked that ABC allowed this. Of course, it turned into a teaching moment and Gaby had a sit down with her daughter and all was resolved.

After Susan freaked out about being left out of the group she took to her paints and created a masterpiece. Unfortunately the masterpiece is a painting of four women standing over a dead body. What was she THINKING? Was she that pissed that the girls kept a few secrets from her? Andre the art instructor seems proud of Susan and now their whole relationship seems to make sense. What are Lynette, Gaby and Bree going to say when they find out about Susan’s latest work of art? Luckily, Tom agrees to bury the body underneath the freshly laid concrete. So, for the time being, the body is officially taken care of… or is it?
