Season
9, Episode 201 “I can hear the bells”
“It
was a perfect day on wisteria lane. The birds were singing and the sun lighting
up the blue sky. Everyone was in the best of moods, especially one woman who
was about to walk down the aisle...” Julie is sitting in front of a mirror
while Angela puts her veil on her head. “Julie Mayer was always the best at doing
things. She was the top of her class…” Julie smiles at the podium and
throws her cap into the air. “She always
made the winning goal when she played soccer…” A younger Julie kicks the ball
into the net, jumping up and down as her team runs to congratulate her. “And she was always the shoulder when life
took an unexpected dip for others…” Julie is hugging MJ at Mike’s funeral. “… I've had the privilege of seeing this
little girl grow into the woman she has become today, and I speak for everyone
who has been watching over her, when I say… we are oh so proud.”
Julie stands up and faces Angela. “So, how do I
look?” she asked. Angela was about to speak when another voice from behind her
spoke out. “Like a princess.” Julie turned around to see Susan with tears in
her eyes. She opened her arms for a hug. “Mom you made it!” Susan kissed her on
the forehead. “Well of course. I wasn't going to miss my daughter’s wedding.”
Julie smiled and looked at Angela, nodding her head; she was ready to get
married.
The crowd in the church pews was quite
massive. Julie was well liked by many. Familiar faces were all around and even
some faces that were long forgotten. Susan took her seat and waited for the
ceremony to begin. “Mrs. Mayer?” Susan turned to see a young boy sitting next
to her. “Well I still go by Delfino… Have we met?” The boy smiled. “My name is
Travers McLain. A few years ago you and your friends visited my school to…”
Susan lit up “Oh god yes, your Edie Brit’s son.” Travers nodded his head. “I
heard your daughter was getting married and I was in town for business and I
thought…” Travers stopped as a person squeezed there way between him and Susan.
“This seat is free right?” Gaby said smiling and looking at them both. “Did i
interrupt?” asked Gaby. “I was just telling Ms. Delfino I’m purchasing my mom’s
old place.” Susan laughed. “That’s Renee’s house,.” Gaby turned to him. “Well,
I hope you like purple.”
Bree was talking with Trip about maybe
a future in politics, when a couple sat next to them. Bree looked closer and
gasped with delight. “Dylan?” Dylan looked over and smiled “Bree! How are you?”
Bree smiled. “I’m fine… where’s Katherine?” Dylan scooted closer to Bree. “Mom is
still in New York, getting Lynette settled into her new position. My husband
Bradley is here but he is fixing up the place before we move in.” Bree’s smile
grew bigger. “You’re moving back to the lane?” She asked. “Yes, actually into
my mother’s house. The Realtor Lee… He said he loves the lane even more now.
Wonder what he meant?” Bree turned to see Lee counting cash, smiling as Bob
slapped his hand down. Bree chuckled and continued to talk to Dylan.
The music began and Julie started to
walk toward her future husband. It upset her as she wished someone could walk
her down the aisle, she couldn't help but smile when she saw MJ standing on the
side in a little tuxedo, holding a pillow with two rings placed on top. As
Julie reached Jordan, he smiled at her. The priest began to read from a book. When
Julie looked into the crowd, she saw everyone who had come to see this
memorable occasion in her life. As she looked out, things began to take their
rightful place in time. Her new friend Angela sat watching her when a husband
and a son appeared next to her. Bree and Trip disappeared from there Pew as
well as a crying Gaby and Carlos. Susan who was smiling and proud also faded
away, leaving an empty seat. Julie looked down and saw Jordan placing the ring
on her finger; she turned to MJ who was no longer there. Julie smiled when she
looked up. Someone had walked her down the aisle. Julie hugged Jordan and
looked over his shoulder. She winked at the ghost of Mike Delfino who was
wearing a tuxedo, holding her hand and smiling…

Season
9, Episode 202 “The End”
“Lynette
& Tom Scavo left the lane to move to New York, where Lynette learned the
joy of being a CEO. She and Tom bought a penthouse, overlooking Central Park,
where years later, she’d take her six grandchildren… and yell at them.
Gabrielle and Carlos Solis left the neighborhood shortly after the wedding.
This was after Gaby made success developing a personal shopping website, which
led to Gaby getting her own show on the shop till u drop network. They soon
bought a mansion in California, where they argued… happily ever after. Two
years later, Bree and her new husband left Fairview. They moved to Louisville,
where Bree joined a club for conservative women. Trip then encouraged her to enter
into local politics. The following November, Bree was elected to the Kentucky
state legislature…”
It had been three years since Julie got married.
She talked to her mother every day. Susan was excited to tell her something
about her job as a counselor for kid’s with disabilities. MJ was ten already
and he was starting his first year in boy scouts, just like his dad did at his
age. Julie had kept her promise of being a faithful housewife and learned to
live up to her mother’s standards… However she could make one heck of a
macaroni and cheese. As Julie took out the trash she looked upon the lane and
realized it had been so different and at the same time hadn't changed at all.
Porter and Preston both had wives and
they each had children. “Put that stick down young man!” Porter yelled as he
chased the boy around the yard. “Peter Scavo… you just wait till your mother
gets home!” The chase continued till Peter fell on the ground scraping his
knee. Porter rolled his eyes and grunted as he helped him off the ground. It
was at that moment when Peter’s twin sister, Polly picked up the same stick and
started to round the house. Porter sighed and dropped Peter to chase her. Julie
laughed and placed the bag into the can outside. She looked up when she heard
shouting…
Ana is following Danny down the steps
screaming at him. “Danny, you’re always working, and I’m so bored!” Danny
stopped and spun around. “Find a job Ana; it’s not my fault the modeling thing
fell through…” Ana plucked her flip flop off her foot and tossed it at him. It
missed him by a hair. She watched him speed away. Ana stood there till she
heard… “Ouch!” Ana turned and saw her gardener Jack sucking his thumb. She
crossed her arms and lifted her eyebrow, smiling. Julie shook her head and
giggled.
“Hello Julie” Julie turned and waved to
Danielle VanDeKamp who was retrieving her mail, her hair up and wearing an
apron with flour covering the front. Julie smiled as she saw Danielle’s
Curtains move. There was Benjamin standing there, giving his mother a nasty
look of resentment. Danielle turned to go back in, as she pulled a flask from
the apron pocket, looked around and sipped.
Julie took another step till she heard
a woman giggling. She peeked around the corner and saw Travers with yet another
woman. One of many he had over to his house. Upon entering, Travers straightens
a picture of him and his mother on the wall. Julie sees a piece of paper roll
past her feet. “Sorry Julie” Dylan picks up the paper. “Wallpaper swatches…”
Dylan says while waving goodbye. Julie smiles and looks over at her friend
Angela who is standing at her mailbox with a desperate look on her face. “Hey
Angela, is everything alright?” Julie shouted over to her. “Yes, everything is
Fine.” Angela replied. Julie smiled. “ OK, see you later.” And with that Julie
went back into her house. She picked up her baby and looked down at her
husband, who was under the sink fixing the pipes. Julie’s life was perfect and
a little less… Desperate.
“Yes life on the lane will go on as normal. We make breakfast for our
families...” Angela places a plate
of pancakes onto the table. “We perform
our chores…” Angela takes a load of laundry out from the dryer. “We complete our projects…” Angela is reupholstering
a chair on the lawn. “We run our
errands…” Angela picks up the dry cleaning. “Truth is we will spend our days, like we spend every other day,
quietly polishing the routine of our lives till they gleam with perfection…”
Angela holds a note in her hand as she goes into her house. “Much like another housewife I know, we all
make the same mistakes…” The day is quiet, until a loud bang echoes through
the Lane.
