The season's mystery is centered on Edie Britt's third husband, Dave Williams.  The series received media attention following the announcement that Edie, portrayed by Nicollette Sheridan, would be killed off close to the end of the season.

Mary Alice (born Mary Alice Smith; December 3, 1941) is an American actress. "Desperate Housewives" is an American comedy-drama series that aired on ABC (American Broadcasting Company).  It focuses on the residents living on the fictional Wisteria Lane as narrated by their deceased neighbor, Mary Alice Young (Brenda Strong).  Specifically, the series follows four protagonists and Mary Alice's friends, Susan Mayer (Teri Hatcher), Lynette Scavo (Felicity Huffman), Bree Van de Kamp (Marcia Cross), and Gabrielle Solis (Eva Longoria).  "Desperate Housewives" features an ensemble cast, which also includes the women's husbands, children, love interests, neighbors, and other acquaintances. Mary Alice Young is a fictional character from the ABC television series "Desperate Housewives".  The character was created by television producer and screenwriter Marc Cherry and is portrayed by Brenda Strong, who also serves as the narrator of the series from beyond the grave; the character's suicide in the pilot episode served as the catalyst of the series.  The narration provided by Mary Alice is essential to the tale of Wisteria Lane, as the series revolves around her sharing the secrets of her friends and neighbors.  Her narration technique is akin in style to Edgar Lee Masters' "Spoon River Anthology" (1915). Alice Frush (also known as Mary Alice Frush or Mary Alice Smith) was a Union nurse during the American Civil War.  Frush's hometown—Greencastle, Pennsylvania—was a hotbed of wartime activity.  Frush's own father was involved with the Union Army and volunteered their home to be a headquarters for Union officers.  In addition, many injured soldiers from nearby battles were carried into the town for medical treatment.  Frush herself volunteered when there was a public call for nurses, at eighteen years of age.  She began her service at Hagerstown, Maryland and then returned to serve in Greencastle, though her most notable service took place at the battles of Antietam and Gettysburg.  During the three years of Frush's service, she worked in hospitals as well as on ambulances, gathering supplies. Alice Morse Earle (April 27, 1851 – February 16, 1911) was an American historian and author from Worcester, Massachusetts.  She was christened Mary Alice by her parents Edwin Morse and Abby Mason Clary.  On 15 April 1874, she married Henry Earle of New York City, changing her name from Mary Alice Morse to Alice Morse Earle.  Her writings, beginning in 1890, focussed on small sociological details rather than grand details, and thus are invaluable for modern social historians.  She wrote a number of books on colonial America (and especially the New England region) such as "Curious Punishments of Bygone Days". James Strom Thurmond (December 5, 1902 – June 26, 2003) was an American politician who served for 48 years as a United States Senator from South Carolina.  He ran for president in 1948 as the States Rights Democratic Party candidate, receiving 2.4% of the popular vote and 39 electoral votes.  Thurmond represented South Carolina in the United States Senate from 1954 until 2003, at first as a Democrat and, after 1964, as a Republican. Mary Alice Mapes (born May 9, 1956) is an American journalist, former television news producer, and author.
