Desperate Housewives: Season 5, Episode 19

5 - 19: Look Into Their Eyes and You See What They Know

As the wives take a road trip to give Edie's ashes to Travers and inform him of her death, they reminisce about the special times they shared with her: Susan recalled how Edie and she had started as friends while sniping at each other when Edie discovered Karl was cheating on her with Brandy; Lynette remembers how Edie helped inspire her to battle cancer and not be weak and mourn; Bree reflects on how Edie taught her a valuable moral lesson when she told her to support Orson while he was in jail irrespective of how humiliating it might be, and Gabrielle recounts a friendly competition she had with Edie at a bar over finding out who was sexier but Edie lost, resulting in her confessing to Gaby how she always will miss her youth when she dies. Travers refuses to take Edie's ashes by noting she was not a good mother as she gave him away to his father but is told by Mrs. McCluskey a tale of how Edie had told her that she gave Travers away only to provide him with the best. The wives distribute Edie's ashes all over Wisteria Lane. This episode is narrated by Nicollette Sheridan as the late Edie Britt.
