What you said is so .. :) i can understand. This ending in so meaningful, it touched me so much like a lot of things that Mary Alice says throughout all the seasons. I still don't understand how just a TV show can bring us so much..
-No you're not! I can tell. Please tell me what's wrong. Let me save you. - You can't. - Why not? - Sweetie, you can't prevent what we can't predict. - Isn't there anything I can do? - Yes. Yes, you can enjoy this beautiful day. We get so few of them..
Best episode was the one with the possum and how symbolic it was when she was trying to kill the possum that represented her cancer only to find out she was cured and the possum was killed. So sad when she realized it she wept in the backyard in sorrow yelling “I’m sorry!” As a beautiful melody of powerful music played in the background. “THAT” was the best episode.
I absolutely LOVED this episode...Dramatic, funny, with a tragic twist...Lynette's dream of Mary Alice almost brought tears to my eyes...best episode of the show I've seen
@@LibraryDude1983 And don’t forget Bree’s new husband Orson was season 3’s new mystery and all his secrets tied into the Carolyn shooting the supermarket. Also the dark mystery surrounding Orson Hodge nearly cost Bree her own life when his mother tried to kill her.
One of my most treasured scenes from this show, only second to when Bree gets the call that Rex has passed away. Amazing acting and the MUSIC is superb! Best show I've seen in awhile.
Best episodes: - Supermarket hostage chaos - Christmas plane crash - Hurricane comes to Westeria Lane - Paul young housing protest episode - Last episode but not the ending
I like the part when Lynette had conversation with her future disabled son in dream, it's such strong message. Add this scene, her cancer free moment with possum, tonado scene... Lynette sure got all the best scenes in desperate housewives.
I just love the part where Mary Alice reassures Lynette she couldn't have done anything to help her. "This was the last time Lynette would ever dream of me and for her sake, I'm grateful"
Without going too in depth, they're all neighbors (well most of them) on Wisteria Lane. Lynette Scavo (the blonde lady) was trapped along with many others inside the grocery store when someone was holding them hostage. They all made it out alive, but Lynette was shot. She was sent to the hospital and she had a dream of a friend that used to live on Wisteria Lane with them that killed herself. Lynette feels guilty she didn't stop her from doing it, but "we can't prevent what we can't predict."
A lot of people think many episodes including this one is the best episode.. So what ive I've noticed in each of those best episodes was Lynnette being the main story line in each of the episodes (imo). She was by far the best character.
Sunshine because she stood up in front of the psycho woman in the supermarket. She did that because I guess she was guilty for not helping Mary Alice. & when she confronted the woman, it's like subconsciously she was able to offer help for Mary Alice. I cry every time I see this scene
Same for me! Watching it the third time and almost done with season 7. The first two times I watched it with my grandmother and we were bawling our eyes out on this episode.
This scene hits me every time. On my 25th I was out celebrating, I got a text from my friend. It said “I can’t go on, phone me” but caught up in the excitement of celebrating, I misread it as “I can’t go out, phone me”. I thought he was telling me he won’t be able to come out with us. later I got another text it just said “I’m sorry” Again I thought he was just apologising that he could not make it out that night. When I read this, I replied back just letting him know it was fine, he didn’t need to worry. It’s probably not difficult to work out what happened, but unfortunately yes he had taken his life that morning. It kills me to think about that night, it feels like not a day goes by when I don’t think it. I replay it over and over and I hate myself for not taking just a few seconds to read it properly and even more so for not replying to his first message. Just like this scene, I often play out that moment and wish I could just go back and change everything, I could have saved him but instead I failed him. When watching this, the part that breaks me is when she says “Enjoy this wonderful day, we get so few of them”. It’s true.
I'm sorry for your loss. I have too been affected by a loved one's suicide. My aunt killed herself and, from what I could gather, in the last conversations she had with people she expressed how lonely she was, how she felt nobody loved her. But I did, I loved her a lot. But we get so caught up in life. It's no excuse. I should've called her more often, I should've been more present. Maybe, just maybe, she would still be alive. But as the scene shows us, there's no point in punishing myself for not being able to 'save' her. I can only, in her memory, make life more meaningful and enjoy its beautiful days.
You may not believe in such things, but our subconscious controls what we consciously do during our days, and we are all connected by it. Once your friend had decided their life is over to such degree that it got imprinted on their subconscious mind, nothing could have been done, all actions taken by them and everyone else would have lead to this exact outcome. This is why your mind made you misread the message, the suicide was set in motion way before the text was sent, so there is nothing you could've done that day which would change the outcome. I am sorry for your loss
Mary Alice and Lynette. Lynette wants to help Mary Alice so much and she can't. If this scene doesn't make you cry, there is something wrong with you. I wish they had gone back in time one season when Mary Alice was alive. This is one way they could bring the show back too.
Mike VE that’d be really interesting, if my memory’s not wrong they never truly explained to us how Martha Huber discovered Mary Alice’s secret so a season about that could be great.
I can’t burden my friends with the things that pain me so much, especially about those things that happen in life where all of the details of what happens is those things in life that cannot be explained which is why I love this show so much because it so beautifully captures those things in life that cannot be explained. I relate to the pain they feel and experience. No wonder it went on as long as it did.
if you think about it, it is even more depressing because she was the face of someone who had it all together and considering that they didn't know a single thing about "her past", it makes it even more heartbreaking the fact that to them it would seem like she took her life tragically and without much thought. I would definitely feel like this and more if my friend took their life.
Yes,We get so few of them ❤ My collegue (37) committed a suicide this year. She had 2 wonderful small children and a husband. We had no idea that she had problems, it was absolutely devastating for us. It makes you think . Could i have done/ said something differently? Could i have helped her/ relieved her pain? Then 4 months later my neigbor jumped out of his window when we were cooking in the kitchen. He was 30. He was still alive when we rushed to his rescue. I don’t think i will ever get this picture out of my head. I just wish someone could have helped them. But as alice said, we can not prevent what we can not predict. Poor souls💔
this is amazing episode... I cried too..:) Such a relief when you know that your people are OK. And So much symbols in the conversation of Mary Alis and Linette :)
OMFG! .. I LOVE THIS EPISODE!! .. IVE SEEN EVERYSINGLE EPISODE.. AND THIS AND THE FINALY OF SEASON 5 ARE THE BEST EVER !!.. i Watched it whit my friends and we all started crying when they brought out lynette !! .. LOVE ITT!!! xxx
yes this for me is the secound favorite episode but it´s a good one too because my favorite till now is "something's coming" the one of the tornado that's the best of all
The ending made me take a break from the show. I needed time to reflect on life, my mortality, and the privileged to live each day...
What you said is so .. :) i can understand. This ending in so meaningful, it touched me so much like a lot of things that Mary Alice says throughout all the seasons. I still don't understand how just a TV show can bring us so much..
Gábor Vág
Yes -- that was the same sentence that really did it for me... I can never watch this without tearing-up...
Ok
I thought you were gonna say the privilege to live in a country without guns
Do you still watch this TV show? I do
I had forgotten how beautiful the music was in this series. Amazing scene even after all these years.
-No you're not! I can tell. Please tell me what's wrong. Let me save you.
- You can't.
- Why not?
- Sweetie, you can't prevent what we can't predict.
- Isn't there anything I can do?
- Yes. Yes, you can enjoy this beautiful day. We get so few of them..
It broke my heart hearing this.
+Pol Chedmail Made me cry everytime I hear this since years
When she said, isn't there anything I can do... It breaks my heart into pieces.
When she says isn't there anything I can do..... It breaks my heart into pieces
It breaks my heart too. We really do get very few beautiful days. And hence I make the best of each of them.
I started crying hysterically when Lynette said "Isn't there anything I can do?" Reduced to a puddle of tears
SAME!
The scenes with Mary Alice in person were all pure gold. She added so much soul to this show. Brenda did a phenomenal job.
is 2016 and still in love by this show.

I have watched the whole series several times and I still get emotional watching this scene. The music and the message are just so powerful.
Notice how everyone was cheering BUT Bree when Julie was alive and only was she happy when Lynette was found alive. True friendship.
Forgot...why was Bree primary concern?
@@LibraryDude1983 Because she told the things that made the woman start to shot on everybody at the market.
@@LibraryDude1983 And don’t forget Bree’s new husband Orson was season 3’s new mystery and all his secrets tied into the Carolyn shooting the supermarket. Also the dark mystery surrounding Orson Hodge nearly cost Bree her own life when his mother tried to kill her.
Felicity’s Huffman is a number one superb actress..
Marcia Cross is up there with her. Both are very good
One of my most treasured scenes from this show, only second to when Bree gets the call that Rex has passed away. Amazing acting and the MUSIC is superb! Best show I've seen in awhile.
The best episode was the tornado episode but this moment was good too.
Yeah! These are my two faves
I loved the handyman dying episode
JE M'APPELLE ral ELi me too
@@SuperRal15 that was a filler episode
@@edgaromarquinonesaviles6996 so?
All the most important scenes of this tv show are framed by fantastic melodies that underline meanings and sentiments. Fantastic.
mary alice's voice always gave me shivers
we cant prevent what we cant predict .... but just.....
This is definitely one of the strongest endings ever and it's not even the season finale!
Best episodes:
- Supermarket hostage chaos
- Christmas plane crash
- Hurricane comes to Westeria Lane
- Paul young housing protest episode
- Last episode but not the ending
don't forget about Eli Scruggs!
YES
Why didn’t you like the ending
I like the part when Lynette had conversation with her future disabled son in dream, it's such strong message.

@@gerry8381 she is the best
So many people must have felt this way when losing a loved one to suicide. The feeling of guilt not being able to save the other one.
Yes, unfortunately.
Absolutely the best episode they ever did. Raw, emotional, shocking. And the scene you've posted made me cry back then... and still does. Perfection.
I'm watching this series all over again on Netflix omgggg I forgot about this episode and SOBBED when I saw it again... GREAT episode
i can never forget the last scene and the words
jpr90 indeed! i am watching it for the fifth time now, 3 years ago i started and i haven't stopped watching it ever since
IM CRYINGGGG I MISS THIS SHOW SO MUCH AND THIS BREAKS ME
Enjoy this beautiful day! We get so few of them..
Yes
I miss this show so much, I can't believe how much I've learned from it and how it made me grow as a person. I hope it comes back someday
Steve Jablonsky is such an amazing composer. While Danny Elfman composed the title score, Steve did the score throughout the series. So beautiful.
Omg this is the best ending to an episode ever! However many years on I still love this show and it can still make me cry.
I just love the part where Mary Alice reassures Lynette she couldn't have done anything to help her.
"This was the last time Lynette would ever dream of me and for her sake, I'm grateful"
We can't prevent what we can't predict! "Enjoy This Beautifull day, we get so few of them" Gives me the chills!
best episode of all seasons, one of the best footage of all serials, tv-shows, films ever aired ....

Why did Lynette have the courage to talk to Mary Alice in this last dream ?
This is such a beautiful moment.
Sunshine because she stood up in front of the psycho woman in the supermarket. She did that because I guess she was guilty for not helping Mary Alice. & when she confronted the woman, it's like subconsciously she was able to offer help for Mary Alice. I cry every time I see this scene
Love this soundtrack by Danny Elfman. Didn't know it was featured in Season 3 - Ep. 7. Love Lynette's dream part.
When i was 9 years old i cried at this episode
Charles Stiles i've watched it with 17 and cried a lot 😂
new to the show but watching again, for the third time.
i'm watching it for the 8th time now, dhw literally changed my life
Same for me! Watching it the third time and almost done with season 7. The first two times I watched it with my grandmother and we were bawling our eyes out on this episode.
+ya girl it s the first time that i see it , the part from 1minute16 to 3min 4
What really happened to Mary Alice. 😞 so sad.
The music, acting and words are soo beautiful in this scene. I've never watched something that makes me cry as much as this. So powerful and poignant.
I'm not crying, it's just something in my eye 😭😭😭
This show has the power to move you to tears at any moment, and make you laugh out loud the next that easily
damn mary alice is tall! lol
It is the best episode of all the seasons..definitely agree
:)

I cried during this scene. Quite emotional 😭😭😭😭😭
This is so emotional. Love them.
Greetings to all fans from a fan from germany.
Thanks! I never though I would find it after so many years! Mw favourite scene of the show. Love that music, love the way she asks "why not"
omg. give this woman an oscar!
This scene made me cried so hard TT
I cried so hard when I saw this! One of the best episodes...... :)
For me the best moment was when Rex died - Bree's acting there is perfect...
My heart 💔 when Tom did not see Lynette getting out of the market as the others...
You can't prevent what you can't predict is a powerful sentiment.
OMG I didn't remember this episode and now, I'm almost crying, the soundtrack is awesome.
Thanks for uploading, this video gives me gooseflesh :)
This is so beautiful
Mary Alice and Lynette. Lynette wants to help Mary Alice so much and she can't. If this scene doesn't make you cry, there is something wrong with you. I wish they had gone back in time one season when Mary Alice was alive. This is one way they could bring the show back too.

Im not going to cry.. Im not going to cry.. oh god damnit!
omg this WAS the best!!
i cried too!!
i love desperate housewives!!
Mary Alice, even though she's dead and narrating DH, she has the best advice. This was a beautiful dream
that was a very emotional episode for me
Bree still managed to be the Queen of this episode with how she played Guilty for starting the whole problem.
who still watch this in 16th December 2015 ♥
YES!!! BEST EPISODE EVER!!!! I bawled my eyes out at the ending... perfect ending to the best episode ever! Thanks for the post!

Still rewatching this moment and it still makes me cry. It's so heartbreaking.
love how the whole scene is so silent when the hostages are released
They were All Best Episodes to me. This one, the tornado one and all the rest of them.
Oh, this episode I'm totally in tears crying, such a great episode had me in my feels back when it first aired even now, so powerful!❤️
perfect.:~
is was the first episode of Desperate that i saw and i completely fell in love with it =~

Mary Alice almost never mentions herself in her relationship to the characters.
Still watching this even though I can’t turn back time anymore
Im very connected to DH. Feels like real family to me.
What a powerful scene
2:23 Made me cry !!!
YEES THIS IS THE BEST EPISODE. I WAS SHAKING
This is still the highest-rated DH episode on Imdb.
I cried Like a Baby when i watched this
(great acting by the whole cast by the way)
Brings me to tears every time!!!

Yes--the first episode of the show that made me cry--and the absolute best of the show.
