The Best Thing That Ever Could Have Happened

Anyone who didn't like this episode must have a heart of stone. Having not watched DH the first time round, I am now binge watching them. This episode is so heartwarming and in my opinion one of my favourites so far, if not the favourite. A story of how one, seemingly insignificant, man touched and affected so many lives for the better. Utter brilliance!

Writers had imagined an amazing 100th episode, and casting Beau Bridges was brilliant.

Can you watch this episode without crying?

They managed the impossible, create a new character and make us care as if he had always been on the show.

Mary-Alice's memories were the most emotional. When she met Eli, you could feel a genuinely good and sweet man, humble and caring. When she sees her shoe with the tape to hide the hole, and offers him to fix her broken vase.

"Ma'am, you don't have to do that" Eli replied.

All the tears, I was fighting to keep inside ... I became an instant fountain.

Truly one of the best episodes of the show, focused on a unique character, the amazing Beau Bridges.

This was without a doubt one of the best episodes i have ever seen, some may disagree but this somehow just touched in such a way that i doubt it can be watched without you going emotional, it truly felt like some great writing and directing you would't normally expect in any besides endings or intro episodes of a season, wish they still made tv series and episodes like this now a days, 10/10 without a shadow of a doubt.

If you are a man and have some prejudice about desperate housewives know that these will vanish fast if you give it a chance and this is one of the main episodes that capture that for you, once you get familiar with the characters and what they are about this episode will fill your heart with joy.

This handyman is the glue of that little community, that watched the people's lives passing by while fixing some things in the house. He is like the father of this community and the one with a kind word and a bushy compassionate look guiding the characters along the string of their very desperate lives!

DH is surely a show to get closer to your partner watching it!

When a neighborhood handyman, named Eli Scruggs, suddenly passes from a heart attack away one day before his retirement, the residents of Wisteria Lane come to realize just how much he affected their lives. Gabrielle recalls how Eli helped her make new friends when she first moved in, including her friendship with the late Mary Alice Young. Lynette remembers how Eli came to her aide when she was overwhelmed in raising her four wild kids, and as a result, neglected Penny. Susan remembers on how he repeatably helped her stay sane and was always there for her as a shoulder to cry on each time a man walked out of her life and was the only man who accepted her slightly-insane and neurotic personalty. Edie looks back on their "special friendship" she had with Eli at numerous times. Finally, Bree thinks fondly of how a small gesture Eli once made that helped get her to where she is

Such a moving episode tissues at the ready.
