** The {{Cliffhanger}} of the episode is pure undiluted fear with Lynette's scream of horror as she sees that the storm has obliterated her house (she had to take cover in another house while the wind was raging outside) -- her children and husband were inside. Fortunately, the next episode shows that all the Scavos made it alive. Ida Greenberg, [[DroppedABridgeOnHim on the other hand]]...

** Lynette ''takes him at home'' not knowing what just happened minutes before -- he killed his own mother. Sure enough, he snaps and attacks one of the twins for something as unsignificant as a remark to Lynette. And she ends up AloneWithThePsycho (while she's about to give birth) in the penultimate episode of season 6.

** Granted, it is POSSIBLE that he did this to get back at her for being the catalyst of his sister's death and him having to pack up and move. The point of it is that we simply do not know. Which, in some ways, is worse than confirmation.

** Granted, it is POSSIBLE that he did this to get back at her for being the catalyst of his sister's death and him having to pack up and move. The point of it is that we simply do not know. Which, in some ways, is worse than confirmation. Although, why anyone would be content with leaving town with everyone believing (and one woman hearing ''a confession'') that you're a pedophile is anyone's guess. The very fact he did it in the first place is incredibly suspicious.

* Felicia Tilman is such a creepy combination of StepfordSmiler and BitchInSheepsClothing you'll shudder just watching her. While Paul Young did murder her sister, her sinister revenge against him is the stuff of nightmares. She went as far as [[{{Fingore}} cutting off two of her fingers]] to frame him, and once she got out of jail, tried to poison him with antifreeze liquid.

* The riot against the ex-convicts home which Paul Young set up. Including having Susan trampled, Lee and Bob trapped in a car which is being beat up, Juanita, a child screaming in terror whilst in the car, and the good old fashioned claustrophobia of being pushed along by masses of people. For parents, there is also Juanita being lost in the mob.

* Alejandro Perez, Gabrielle's stepfather who used to rape her (one flashback even shows her as her younger self alone in her bedroom with Alejandro coming for her). He invites himself in her life once again, stalking her and even attempting to rape her once more. And even after getting killed by Carlos in the latter attempt, he keeps haunting the main housewives through GuiltComplex and FinaglesLaw after they dispose of his body in the forest. Susan goes as far as creating a morbid painting of him being buried by her, Gabrielle, Bree and Lynette and ''exhibit it''. Not only this, but Susan also finds out Alejandro also raped his new stepdaughter.

* George, a pharmacist, lusted after Bree once she ended their affair together and became jealous of her husband Rex. So he tampered with Rex's prescription drugs by replacing his heart medication with placebos which led to Rex's death. He also beats up and attempts to kill other people who look like they are trying to come in between him and Bree. He also drugged Bree at one point and was seriously considering taking advantage of her. He eventually proposed to Bree and pressured her into marrying him. After the engagement he became increasingly possessive of her, and increasingly violent. He even made himself a [[StalkerShrine creepy life-sized doll of Bree]] at home.
