Thankfully the writers didn't leave Desperate Housewives the way they left some of the other shows before the strike. The January 6th episode is the conclusion to the Tornado episode from December. We start off with the discovery of Lynette's family alive and Ida not. It's an emotional time for Karen and Edie plays the comforter. As Lynette and Karen pack Ida's belongings for her niece and nephew, Parker tells Lynette that Ida saved Lynette's family. Upon meeting Ida's niece and nephew, she realizes that they are possibly the most shallow people on the planet earth (even more shallow than Cordelia and Harmony on Buffy). They don't want to follow Ida's wishes for her ashes so Lynette gives them the vacuum dust instead. It turns out Ida was a member of the All-American Girl's Baseball League and she wanted her ashes spread over the local ball field. Karen and Lynette break in to the field and get caught, while running from the guards Lynette spreads Ida's ashes. In amongst all the festivities Karen and Lynette become friends.
Meanwhile, Bree and Orson move in with Susan while their house is being fixed. At first Susan doesn't want them there, but when Bree starts taking care of her, she realizes she needs Bree. After sabotaging Bree's home renovation efforts, Susan explains to Bree that she is lonely without Mike and needs her to stay living there. Also, thankfully Gaby has finally changed for the better. After finding out she and Carlos have no money, she stays with him. Adam leaves Katherine and Dylan finds out the truth, the truth we still don't know. Hopefully the Writers will quit striking sometime soon, I might just go crazy if they don't. I'm glad there was an end to the Lynette storyline and glad that the writers left such good writing for the end, but I'd really like to see them back. Overall, it was a great episode and it will be watched again and again.
