The fifth season of Desperate Housewives, an
American television series created by Marc
Cherry, began airing on ABC on September 28, 2008 and
concluded on May 17, 2009. The season takes place five years after the
events of the season four finale and continues
to focus on the lives of Wisteria
Lane residents Susan Mayer, Lynette
Scavo, Bree Hodge, Gabrielle Solis, Edie
Britt, and Katherine Mayfair, as seen through the
eyes of the series' deceased narrator, Mary Alice Young. The season's mystery is centered around
Edie's third husband, Dave
Williams. The series received media attention following the
announcement that Edie Britt, portrayed by Nicollette Sheridan, would be killed off
mid-season.[1]
Edie takes on the narration in "Look Into Their
Eyes and You See What They Know" following her death, marking the
second time Mary Alice's voice is not heard in an episode. |
