Give Me The Blame:
Penultimate episode.
The title refers to Karen taking the blame for Alejandro's death. What a perfect solution to let Bree and Carlos off the hook and no charges being pressed on Karen due to her not having much time left.
Finishing The Hat:
Series finale.
My lovely wife Dana makes a brief appearance as Katherine, her only return to the series since she departed as a regular cast member. She appeared for a few minutes in total and I am guessing her scenes were filmed during a lunch time break from filming from her lead role in Body of Proof. Lovely to see her here although I am still seeing her in China Beach & Body of Proof.
Karen (Kathryn Joosten) died having succumbed to cancer. Karen having cancer was a reflection that Kathryn Joosten was suffering from it in real life. Finising The Hat was originally aired on May 13 2012 and sadly Joosten died 19 days later from the cancer on June 2.
Making a cameo was the gardener Carmen (Roselyn Sanchez). Carmen as played by Roselyn Sanchez is a character in Devious Maids created by Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry. There was only the pilot for Devious Maids when the American ABC did not pick it up as a series but has been picked up subsequently by Lifetime and will make its debut in 2013.
Marc Cherry has a cameo as a moving man.
As revealed by Mary Alice, Trip and Bree eventually married. In a case of curious casting Scott Bakula (Trip) had played Captain Jonathan Archer in Star Trek: Enterprise which also had Steven Culp in a recurring guest stint as Major Hayes and Culp was a regular in the first season of Desperate Housewives playing Bree's first husband Rex.
Culp was also in Finishing The Hat but there was no reunion with Bakula as he made a cameo as Rex along with the other ghosts of Wisteria Lane.
Noticable with the ghosts is that Nicollette Sheridan wasn't there as Edie. This was always going to be unlikely due to the acrimony between her and Cherry plus a lawsuit that she has launched against him. In an interview Cherry said that he had wanted to ask Nicollette Sheridan for the finale but she later denied that she was ever asked.
Although no Nicollette Sheridan I have read that there was a blonde woman ghost in that scene giving the impression that this was Edie.
The series and this episode ends with a mystery about the new owner of Susan's house. Jennifer. I don't think Cherry wrote this in with the intention of ever following this up but instead to deliver the message that the more things change the more they stay the same especially on Wisteria Lane.
.
For its Australian broadcast on Seven, the finale was sponsored by the upcoming movie The Dark Knight Rises, a Batman film and Dana herself did some Batman-related work during her career.
