Online reviewers have weighed in on the penultimate Desperate Housewives episode of season two.

Here's what they had to say about "No One Is Alone":

• Keith McDuffee at TV Squad took the opportunity to asses the show's craziest people. About Felicia Tillman, "the best thing about this season", he wrote: "The queen "Loon of the Lane" goes to Bree, though it's very possible that Felicia won't be coming back around again. We see she's been saving up her blood—LOTS of it—just to frame Paul. Oh, and she also chops off two of her own fingers to top things off real nice. How can she be so crazy as to do what she did and not just figure out a way to kill Paul herself?"

• But Dave Anderson at TV Guide Online also questioned who was craziest, and said the show lived up to its name. "OK—who's crazier? Bree Van De Kamp or Felicia Tilman? I thought the balloon-popping and cake-frosting-obsessed Bree was the craziest until they showed that Felicia chopped off two of her own fingers (!!) in her plot to get Paul Young arrested. Desperate Housewives, indeed. This show keeps turning into Twin Peaks—I mean, Felicia drawing her own blood and then placing it into bags and refrigerating them? Yikes."

• Annie Barrett at EW.com, said that some of the material in the episodes distracts her from the original purpose of the stories:

  "Sometimes the so-bad-it's-good material makes you forget there were actual feelings involved. Edie's almost seductive lean-in to Susan just before she asked her if she was wearing a wire, and the duo's consequent front-yard catfight (man, Edie can sprint!) were so entertaining that the fact that one of them just committed arson out of spite didn't seem to matter. It's a somewhat similar story with Paul and Felicia. We've been watching her play practical jokes on him for months, and now that she's taken up three-fingered residence in the mountains and left him to be framed for murder, I have to think back really hard to remember why she even cared about him in the first place. It's easy to just think of her as an eccentric woman getting her kicks by doing extra-kooky things at regular intervals. She's very amusing and will be missed, but her decision to 'drop off the face of the earth' and the end of my patience with her and Paul's tedious story line coincide quite nicely.
