Complete story — includes the ending

Five years after the season 4 finale, Bree and Katherine now own a successful catering company, with Andrew working as Bree's personal assistant. Bree is about to publish her own cookbook, but Katherine feels she gives her less credit than she deserves. It is revealed that years earlier, Danielle forcefully took Benjamin from Bree when she married Leo, an environmental lawyer. Lynette is having trouble controlling her now teenage twin sons Porter and Preston due to their latest antics, including turning Scavo Pizzeria into a casino. Gabrielle worries about her daughter Juanita's weight problem, which forces her to reflect on how her own appearance has changed over the years. A tragic car accident forced Susan and Mike apart when Susan's car crashed into Lila Dash's car, killing her and her daughter Paige. This resulted in Susan and Mike's divorce, after which Susan has custody of Maynard ("M.J."). Susan has a new lover, Jackson Braddock, to whom she refuses to commit because she feels she is not ready for a new relationship. Edie moves back to Wisteria Lane with a new husband, Dave, a man with a dark secret involving anger management issues.
