Last Sunday's episode of Desperate Housewives ended with Edie crashing into a telephone pole, standing in a puddle of water, and then being shocked. 

Because Desperate Housewives is infamous for leading us to believe something and then completely tricking us, fans just want to know: is she really dead?

According to Ausiello's column, they really killed her this time. 

However, he does say this isn't the last we'll see of her.  Edie will be getting a big send off in the next episode, via newly-created flashbacks with each of the housewives, a la the 100th episode.

Wow, did anyone else actually see her dying from electric shock?  I was kind of hoping Dave would kill her, but I suppose that would have been too predictable for Wisteria Lane.
