MUMBAI: Star World will air the final episode of the first season of Desperate Housewives at 10 pm on 23 December.

The finale episode will shed light on many of the mysteries of the show. Viewers will recall that the show kicked off way back in July with housewife Mary Alice killing herself. The episode reveals the reason for this.

The episode also looks at a new neighbour on Wisteria Lane and what her secret is. The channel says that the show has captured everybody's imagination in the US. Even American First Lady Laura Bush revealed that she was a devoted viewer in a speech to the American media, in which she joked she was herself a "desperate housewife" who was always left watching the show alone because her husband usually had fallen asleep by that time in the evening.
