Damn, the final produced episode. Might as well call this the season finale.

At any rate, I'm very excited to see this episode. I know alot of other people are, as well.

This episode was quite filled with humor. I loved the whole scene with Gabby going through those papers in the garage, and when the door opened, she began acting like a grieving maniac! The whole pimping out Andrew situation was great, too. Oh, and Lynette and Karen trying to spread the ashes all over the baseball field. Loved it! I really hope that this writers strike will end soon, so they can get new episodes filming!

The only thing that felt out of place was the Mayfair plotline, but a pretty damn good 'season finale'(?) -- sweet & funny, but not too saccharine, not too heavy on the drama.

Wow, Orson had the most hilarious lines tonight. The one about how he was sure they would have fun at a boot store together and:
"He's got a mesh shirt that would make your ex cry."
I also cracked up when McClusky said "I was almost at my third strike."
Does anyone know who the actress was who played Ida's bitch niece? I can't place where I know her from.

I was worried that this would be a real downer of an episode post-tornado, but there was a lot of funny stuff.
The gay couple was hilarious and I was dying watching Orson and Bree trying to set up Andrew and the contractor.

One of the funniest episodes of the series. You could see many of the key plot points coming, but it was well written enough to still be enjoyable.
I guess no more Fillion. I noticed that he was listed as a special guest star.

Maybe it was my mood but I found most of the plot lines uninteresting and unfunny. Did like the baseball stuff.
"It's OK to raise men's hopes and not satisfy them. I've done it all my life." was a good line.

Love the stuff with the gay couple saying their friend was a 3 and most guys wanted a 9.
So true.
Great scenes for everyone. Gonna miss the show.

Then there will also be an episode where comedy hijinks will ensue once Gabby realizes that dating a blind man allows her to slack off on her diet, exercise and hygiene regime.

I LOVED this episode, and am SO bummed it's the last one for now.
What happened at the very end? My DVR was full, so I missed the last couple of minutes. Last thing I saw was Lynette and Mrs. McCluskey heading to a bar to talk about her two strikes, then it cut to Katherine for a second, and that's where it stopped recording. Did I miss anything good?
