Desperate Housewives Cliffhanger: Who Died in the Wisteria Lane Plane Crash?

Some Characters on Desperate Housewives Were Killed by a Plane Crash

Ashley Mott
Many viewers of the hit TV show Desperate Housewives were left wondering just who died after viewing the 12/6 episode, "Boom Crunch."

Last night on Desperate Housewives a plane crashed into the Christmas Party to end all Christmas parties. It is obvious that some of the shows star characters will live while others have met an untimely death. At this point, it is not exactly clear who will make it to the next episode (which airs in January), but there are a few likely scenarios as to which Desperate Housewives characters are dead and alive. All of these characters were shown when the plane was crashing and depicted as being in peril.

First up is Mona. After Mona concluded part of a blackmail rant, the small plane carrying Bree's proposal banner began to approach. Mona did not hear the plane immediately and did not run away. Her feet are seen being lifted off of the ground by the plane's wing, and she is not shown again. It is highly likely that Mona did not survive the crash.

Bree was last seen in a Christmas house destroyed by the airplane sweeping through it. A bloody hand was seen in the rubble of this house in the final frames. It is quite unlikely that Bree is gone. It is probable that Bree was no longer in the house, or that she will be severely injured. A further clue that Bree is okay is that the bloody hand shown in the window looked very masculine.

Carl and Orson were last seen fighting in the Christmas house over Bree. The bloody, seemingly masculine, hand, belonged to one of these two men. Viewers cannot be sure which man makes it out until January!

Lynette was last seen pulling a dumbfounded Celia out of the path of the plane. It is highly unlikely that either of these characters will die, but it would not be an at all untypical plot twist if Lynette were to lose one or both of the babies she is carrying.

This episode is quite the cliffhanger as Desperate Housewives is not returning until January!

    im positive of a few thingz first off karl dies for sure, also bree loses an arm for sure, 5 characterz will die for sure, orson getz mentally disabled for sure, also orson, bree, lennytt, gabi, and susan definitly dont die. i think besidez karl the 4 other deathz are mona, the pilot, and im pretty sure at least 1 of lenytts unborn twinz, if only one of lynnetts unborn twinz die then i think the 5th person is the pilot's mean wife or bob (lee's husband) mite die. but i think the pilotz mean wife haz to complain about the accident after the crash. hope this helped!

    I'm glad I read this. I accidentally erased this episode off my dvr!! Grrr! Thanks for the recap.

    Interesting ideas, Ariana, but it would be much more interesting plot-wise if Orson does not die but Karl does. Now that her lover is gone, how does she deal with Orson?

    It's going to be Karl. I saw a pix of Teri (Susan) as she wore a black dress for next episode so it's obviously.

    Actually, Orson confirmed he returns and Karl dies, which leaves Susan inheriting a strip club from Karl's will. YOUR WELCOME FOR THE SPOILERS, OW OW. Beau Mirchoff is hot, more of him plz.

    I'd tell you except that I'm running odds. :)

    Predictions: Mona dies (obviously), Orson dies (Bree is OK) and Lynette becomes a hero.

    Talk about your cliffhangers of cliff hangers. I am quite curious now.
