Desperate Housewives: Season 4

[Benzgirl]

Episode 4-9 ''Something's Coming" December 2
A tornado’s on the way! ABC describes the episode as the most elaborate episode DH has ever produced. The people of Wisteria Lane are forced into basements, safe rooms, and cellars. This is the first of a two-parter, but thanks to the strike, it's unclear when the next episode will air. Multiple people are killed in the episode, and by episode's end, lives may still hang in the balance.
Sylvia (Big Love's Melora Walters) makes a second appearance. Katherine spits in her face. Katherine learns the truth about Adam and Sylvia and it's much worse than she believed.

A boy named Chad tries to take advantage of the tornado coming by selling Edie bottled water. She learns Carlos and Gabrielle are packing to move, and not because of the tornado. Victor and Carlos fight. Edie gets her hands on the file concerning Carlos' embezzled money, but Gabrielle breaks into Edie's home and faces off against her nemesis. The file gets blown away by the wind, and Gabrielle and Edie may be the next to be blown away, as the tornado arrives!
Mrs. McCluskey appears, as does Ida Greenberg. Lynette spends some time in the episode with Mrs. McCluskey, and their friendship is tested by their actions during the tornado.
Susan confronts Orson in his office for giving pain pills. She reminds him Mike has a drug problem. Orson's with a child patient and his mother, who doesn't like hearing Orson's been dealing Mike drugs. Susan threatens to leave Mike if he can't get over his drug problem. Mike brings Susan to the hospital, as she's fallen down the stairs and twisted her ankle; despite her pregnancy, Susan finds it's too busy at the hospital for her to be seen immediately. When a frustrated Mike talks back to an orderly, he's told to leave, and Mike hits him. Mike's handcuffed to a chair.

Episode 4-10 AIRDATE UNKNOWN, thanks to the strike. It's been filmed, but it's uncertain when it will air.
Adam finds the note Katherine's dead aunt left, and he hands it to Katherine.

One of the men is paralyzed, but he doesn’t tell his woman, who thinks his legs are merely broken.

A memorial service at a church is packed with mourners. A woman from Wisteria Lane sits in the front pew, dressed in black. Overcome with emotion, she flees the church.

As the neighbors look on, firefighters rescue one of the women from her demolished house.

A couple ID a dead body at the morgue, as the dead woman had the couple's address in her pocket without any other ID. The man claims he knew the woman from outside Fairview and assumed the woman was stopping by to say hello. The woman's affected by seeing the dead woman but hides this.

Mike's at a rehab center. He meets a woman who's there for the third time. He's not interested in attending the group session and the woman realizes he's not ready for it.

Bree wants a contractor to do some emergency repairs on her home. She invites him over for dinner in hopes of buttering him up. (The dinner's at Susan's, thanks to the house damage.) Knowing he's gay and recently single, she makes sure Andrew is present. Complications arise when Susan has her own gay guy she'd like Andrew to be with!

Two of the women help a dead woman's nephew load his aunt's possessions into his van.. The other woman's upset to learn the man doesn't plan to spread the ashes at a stadium as his aunt wanted. She offers to retrieve the ashes from the woman's house for the nephew. (Note: the nephew may actually be a niece.) The women must break into the stadium to spread the ashes, where they're caught by police. One of the women shakes the ashes out as she runs.

One of the women attends the wake of Al, Carlos' accountant, who died in the previous episode. She feigns grief when she meets the man's wife for the first time, but what she wants to know is where his files are. After learning they're nearby, she makes a quick exit.

AGREED!

And good riddance if it truly is Victor that will die!

Pssst! Benzgirl, I'd edit to just link to the spoiler in case people don't want to be spoiled by who dies.

Ok, but the fill in the blank post looks like a grade school project

Like I said, you can edit it with the link to spoilerfix.com. Some people like to discuss the show in the thread but don't want to be spoiled.

The other alternative is to use white ("ghost") text so that those who do want to read the spoilers can do so by highlighting the text and those who don't won't see it. Like this:

11/27 - When the tornado strikes, Carlos and Victor end up duking it out over Gabi.

I want to say that there's a color that works even better than white, but I can't remember what it is. Too bad GC doesn't use [invisible] or [spoiler] codes.

ETA: The other, better color is (I think) "white smoke." ([ color=whitesmoke ]). You have to be careful if you quote this text, though -- it does show up a little against the darker grey background for quotes, so if you quote, it may be best to change the spoiler color to "gainsboro."

[Benzgirl]

I'm technically challenged.

[texas*princess]

So I'm hoping that the person who loses their husband is Gabrielle... 'cause I'm not a fan of that Mayor Guy.

OMG @ Susan falling down the stairs! I hope the baby is OK

[texas*princess]

Wowie, this is the first time I've ever been right about something!!!

Victor is out of the picture, but Carlos was knocked out... I think he'll be OK though.

It was REALLY dumb of that Chicago lady to decide to make her exit in the middle of a freakin' tornado. It was kinda funny to see her fly away.

Question -- at the end of the episode, Lynnette and the old lady went across the street... was that the old lady's house that was rubble?? I remember them going across the street into that random house when they were trying to get the cat, but I didn't follow which house they left...

[ZTAngel]

I think they went into Lynette's house to ride out the storm and I think that it was Mrs. McCluskey's house that was destroyed.

ETA:
I'm not a mom so I don't know this kind of stuff but I've always heard that your children become the most important people in your whole life...more important than yourself. So why did the writers have her scream for Tom and not for her kids? I thought that was kinda strange.

[deadbear80]

It was Ms. McCluskey's house that was destroyed. Hence the blood-curdling scream from Lynette.

Since I've heard only 2 people die (and if you saw tonight, it's REALLY obvious who the male death is)...and I'm not counting Sylvia (Chicago woman) since she wasn't a regular; I'm hoping the spoilers are right on who the 2nd one is. I think ________ has seen enough bad happen to her this season to deserve what they're leading us to believe happened.

But the ending pan of Wisteria Lane...WOW! Great special effects!!!!

[texas*princess]

OK, I think I know who the female death is going to be....

Whoa.. .thats crazy that the house the family was hiding in was the one completely destroyed.

I should probably know this, but if they were hiding in the basement, isn't that a safe place from a tornado? (Unless maybe something broke the window in the basement?

[nittanyalum]

I missed the beginning of the show and honestly my watching in general this season has been spotty so I don't know her back-story, but wouldn't the female death be the woman who was in Bree's bathroom that got sucked out the door? Or is there supposed to be another one?
