6-10 "Boom Crunch" December 6, 2009
Written by Joey Murphy and John Pardee; directed by David Grossman
The show that gave us a hostage situation, a tornado, and a fire will once again have another special disaster episode, as a small plane crashes into a house as the people we know and love are enjoying a Christmas party outside. And, yes, someone's going to die!! Make that two someones! No -- make that three! Actually, make that five! Yes, the plane crash results in five deaths, including someone who's been around since the first season. We'll splil two of the deaths: the pilot of the plane, and his wife. The other 3 people are much more important to the show.
A doctor informs a pilot (Dan Castellanetta) about his bad blood pressure; meanwhile, the Bolens decide to pay for their hospital expenses without insurance, probably because they don't have insurance with their new names. Danny made a mistake which could be trouble for Angie.
Lynette's and Gabrielle's friendship is about to collapse.
Susan comes up with a plan to help crazy Katherine. Katherine was stabbed, which will keep her away from the party--and safe from the danger. Lyndsy Fonseca is back as Katherine's daughter Dylan.
The Hodges make a decision concerning their marriage. Bree and Orson are trapped in their house during the plane crash.

The future is . . . now! Various characters will fantasize about the future in this episode. Some of the fantasies will be people dreaming, while at least one will involve one of the housewives being under the influence of anaesthesia.
One of the series of fantasies involves Lynette's new son Patrick, who has cerebral palsy: she envisions struggling to deal with him as a baby; refusing to indulge him as a child; and then seeing him as a fully grown man.
Another of the fantasies involves Gabrielle's children. At 20, Juanita's a lesbian (!). Gabrielle struggles to turn Celia into an actress, to the frustration of the entire family, even as Celia's not successful at it.
In Susan's fantasy, she's gained a lot of weight.
Bree's fantasy concerns what life would be like for her if Orson was dead. Meanwhile, back in reality, it's actually Karl who's dead. Orson's alive, but possibly paralyzed.
Also, in another fantasy, a judge sentences Angie to life imprisonment, and a FBI agent questions Angie about the whereabouts of another criminal. Whether the scenes are "real" or not, we'll get major info on Angie's actual past -- which involves terrorism -- in this episode!

Tom's working at Carlos's company, but makes a mistake with a client that Lynette points out.
Thanks to Karl's will, Susan inherits a strip club and hopes to sell it. When she visits the club, though, she learns Mike's been a regular at the club!
One of the Solis kids (Juanita, we figure) is under the mistaken impression she's white, to Gabrielle's surprise.
Someone performs horribly at a comedy club.
Reportedly, Angie does not appear in this episode. This is not because they're writing her out of the show; Drea de Matteo has always been signed on to only do 20 episodes this season. That's still more than many of the supporting actors on DH, and I believe in season 2 the Applewhites only appeared in 16 or 17 episodes.
February 7 Super Bowl Sunday. There is absolutely no chance that ABC will air a new episode of DH.
March 7 DH will be preempted by the Academy Awards.
May 23 This is the last Sunday of May sweeps, and almost certainly the date of DH's sixth season finale. Mark your calendars now!
