The stepfamily saga is no more on Desperate Housewives! Carolyn found out that her husband had been cheating on her so she went to his grocery store to “send him to be with Monique” (who is now dead). Lynette and Nora were in the grocery store and among the hostages. Nora started talking to Lynette about her “trying to take her daughter away” b/c Lynette and Tom had begun action to sue Nora for custody of Kayla. Carolyn, the gunwoman, heard them talking and questioned why they were making noise when she’d instructed them to be quiet. Nora said “she’s trying to take my daughter away from me” to which Lynette says, “No I’m not, she tried to seduce my husband” Carolyn said, “Oh, well why didn’t you just say so?” and shoots Nora in the chest and then looks at Lynette and says “I believe the word you are looking for is Thank You”….Before she died, Nora made Lynette promise to take good care of her little girl…

I have to be honest and say that while it was a VERY sad moment, I had a moment of feeling that Lynette was “lucky” that she wouldn’t have to put up with Nora’s crazy CRAP any more…I know that is very selfish of me but that’s how I felt…

Your my DHW's updater, Nise! I actually watched it last night! It stirred a range of feelings with me. Like in my own situation with hubby's x. I switch back & forth between feeling .....She's such a miserable cunniving b*itch she gets what she deserves......to what a pathetic, desperate, lost soul and feeling sorry for her. Smile

I thought it was poignant that even on her death bed, Nora was hateful to Lynette she said something to the effect of “shut up you stupid bitch and listen to me”…WOW! I also was back and forth emotionally…when I really felt for Nora was when she said “Kayla is the only good thing that I’ve ever done in my life”…that was the first time her character had a soft side….and it also showed that no matter how ignorant, manipulative and vindictive biomoms can get, even in using their child as a weapon against the ex…a part of them still loves their child and wants the best for them…it is such a hard thing to wrap your mind around b/c if you want the best for her, how do you use her as a weapon?!

Make a GREAT Day!

I wonder why they killed her off so soon? Remember me saying how my "original SIL" who is a faithful follower of the show thought the story-line was getting to outrageous with this "X thing".

I wonder how many other faithful viewers (who are not steps) felt the same way she did and were getting turned off?

If you here any entertainment tonight type gossip about it...fill me in.......OK? Smile
