Remember (Desperate Housewives) - Notes

Notes

• This is the series' first two-hour episode. It is being aired as two episodes in syndication.
• When the episode aired in the UK as two episodes, some scenes were aired in a different order, e.g. Zach claiming Noah's fortune was moved to the second hour.
• Mary Alice Young (Brenda Strong) is seen in this episode, for the second time in season two.
• As of this episode, all of the Youngs (Mary Alice, Paul and Zach) have murdered someone.
• This episode marks the return of former cast member Steven Culp as a special guest star, reprising the role of Bree's husband Dr. Rex Van de Kamp in flashbacks. Former cast member Jesse Metcalfe, who has not been seen since the third episode of the second season, also returns. Roger Bart who played George Williams, also returns for a brief cameo when the episode flashes back to 2001.
• Although credited, Edie Britt (Nicollette Sheridan) and Andrew Van De Kamp (Shawn Pyfrom) do not appear in this episode, although Andrew does appear in a flashback at age 6.
• For the second time, the season finale features flashbacks from before Mary Alice's suicide which opened the show.
• This is the last episode featuring Alfre Woodard as Betty Applewhite, Mehcad Brooks as Matthew Applewhite and NaShawn Kearse as Caleb Applewhite.
• There is a goof when Bree meets Mary-Alice. At the end of the scene, Mary-Alice says she does not remember what Bree's name is, when in fact it's Andrew's name which is not introduced, and Bree's name which is introduced by Bree herself. As a consequence, Mary-Alice knows Andrew's name although she did not hear it.
