Desperate Housewives: Mike's Funeral

I was bawling during this episode. During the funeral service and the grave sight I couldn't stop crying. This was so sad as if I knew Mike or the ladies or anything, but still. Super emotional. Each of the residents are reminiscing about times of their past as well as memories of Mike Delfino.

Gabby: Gabby remembers when Carlos bought her wedding gown for her. Her MIL was not too happy about it and warned him that if he gave in now, he would give in the rest of his life. He told her to be quiet and how happy Gabby made him. She smiled, took the dress and then asked for diamond earrings. He said he would always take care of her. Flashback to her making dinner for the girls and looking not so fab, he came home from work and finally let her get a massage as he fed the girls and put work on the back burner. Flashback to Mike visiting him in rehab and talking to Gabby about how he understood how Mike was feeling. She then flashes back to the present life telling him he can quit his job.

Bree: On her way to the funeral when the cop stops her. He tells her she must come in for questioning. She does and she flashes back to baking with her mother as a little girl. Her mother tells her to make the MASK, which is a slight smile not show how she is feeling. She then uses that Mask in her next memory of her and Rex. She finally tells him why she was upset and he laughs at her. Then to the present of the cop getting the same mask and believing her. That is, until they take the DNA off the mug she drank coffee from. Her prints are a match to the one's on the body they dug up. Uh oh Bree.

Lynette: Her and Tom hug as Jane watches on and is uncomfortable. She remembers being on their first date and telling Tom how she didn't want a family and wanted to be a VP. Then flash forward to her pregnant with the twins and him buying the house on Wisteria Lane because he knew she would love it. Another flash to seeing Mike as Tom was moving out and he asks her why she is not fighting for him. She realizes what she must do. She must get her man back! You go girl.

Susan: The funeral is upon us and Susan is trying to think of what to say. She flashes back to their wedding night and how he sang her a poem "I love you once, I love you twice, I love you more than beans and rice". Then she flashes back to a time at a diner with her, Mike and MJ. He asks what heaven is like and he tells him its about all the things you love. Heaven is eating cheeseburgers, watching football as mom brings us snacks and being fishing at their favorite pond. She gets up and recites some words and tells them that Mike is in a better place, heaven. And talks about the burgers and the fishing and the sports. The men carry out his coffin as Renee sings out Amazing Grace. So beautiful.

At the grave site, they lay him to rest and she lays a rose on his coffin and MJ puts his glove there. She says the I love you poem and lays him to rest. SO SAD. I cried the entire last half of this episode. Then she goes to see her friends and asks for their help with her tires and her bills and MJs pitching. They offer their and their husband's help. They will not let her suffer.
