The end of episode 4x09 "Something's Coming" which is the most expensive episode produced in the show's history. Lynette's husband and children, as well as Ida Greenberg, are underneath the rubble of Karen McCluskey's house.
How can anyone say it's too dramatic? If your house had collapsed and been torn apart with you knowing your husband and children, your whole family were underneath, presumably no sign of them, you would be screaming!
Most intense cliffhanger ever! When Mary Alice said she life is most often unfair and then I heard that scream i really believed either Tom or Some of the kids were dead.
It was "The scream heard around the world", Desperate Housewives will never stop being iconic and way ahead of its time, one of the best shows ever created, I miss that street so damn much!
I watched this show while I was in girls boarding school, and Lynette’s scream shocked the entire room into horrified silence. That never happened in a house full of tween/teen girls. One girl uttered a soft “holy shit” under her breath and didn’t even get in trouble because our boarding mistress was also gaping in silent horror.
Lynettes screaming in terror at the end puts me in such a mood that I don't want to go to sleep now (and it's late); Felicity Huffman is one of the most remarkable actresses I've seen in a while.
I remember after watching the end of this episode, I just sat there for about a minute before I finally got up and turned the TV off. It was that powerful.
i am still in season 2. . . . . and i just can't wait for season 4, to watch this episode. . . . the bad thing is that i ve just known some of the surprises :(
omg i remember when i watched this for the first time on TV and i didnt know what happens to Lynettes family ( im not going to say what happens in case some people havnt seen the next episode ) i remember i was screaming and crying with Lynette !!
Felicity Huffman deserves an Emmy for every single season of this show!! Her talent is extraordinary!! I heard a lot of people didn’t like the season 4 disaster... are they serious?? It was a perfect episode with brilliant acting!!
I think something might have been shorn off by the wind? I think the point of that scene was more about the imagery of "seeing the light" than it was relating to an actual item of any value. To wit, scenes of natural disasters are often used to downplay the importance of "stuff" vs the true value of lives.
lol i was taking a nap and woke up when Mrs.McCluskey was trying to get her cat from under the car. Poooorrrr cat. not really. its a show. lol. laugh laugh. im so funny. haaaa that makes sense. Right? Right? whose with me. cuz i said im so funny, and my name is imsofunnx10....im leaving now....
im sorry but i cant take this serious that was some budget fx when the cgi lady flew away and lynettes scream is just a little bit over the top. ok a lot over the top. and that is such a badly done fake set. and no tornado takes out a perfect square of a roof.
