A murder -- maybe two -- a philandering husband, the discovery of a mysterious love child, an escape from a psychiatric hospital and a police sniper's deadly shot ending a confrontation.
It all rushed by in an action-packed, two-hour season finale of ABC's "Desperate Housewives" on Sunday.
The finale neatly closed the season-long storyline involving actress Alfre Woodard's character but otherwise seemed more intent on setting up plot twists for next season, which will be its third. The prime-time soap isn't the sensation it was its first year, but still ranks as one of TV's most popular shows.
Sunday's finale weaved in flashbacks to when everyone moved to Wisteria Lane, enabling viewers to see the character of Mary Alice. She typically provides the series' voice-over narration, since she committed suicide before the story began.
