In the seventh episode of season three, one woman takes 'desperate' to a whole new level.

Get Desperate! sources revealed that a Wisteria Lane resident will be involved in causing the wife of a store owner to become so angry that she grabs a gun and takes people hostage. Numerous Wisteria Lane residents will be amongst the hostages taken by this crazed woman.

While some residents can only sit at home and watch the events unfold on TV, Susan puts aside her ditsy nature and in newfound bravery offers to trade herself for the release of someone close to her. But the police are not a fan of this idea, and after a gunshot is heard Susan fears the worst. One resident is shot, but out of the suffering comes positive news for one hero.

Meanwhile, Gabrielle starts to reconsider her opinion of Carlos after it turns out he may come into some money, but instead things turn even more bitter between them.

Other famous gun incidents...

• Housewives began with a gun. It was in those opening scenes that Mary Alice killed herself and started a mystery that made Housewives an instant hit.
• It seemed like only yesterday (well, it was one year ago) that Mike and Susan were held hostage at gunpoint by Zach. Just a year later it was Matthew Applewhite who almost shot Bree, before being shot himself. The gun theme continues...
• The shooting of J. R. Ewing in Dallas gripped the world in the 1980s. The legend still lives on long after the show's end, and has led to homages such as The Simpsons' "Who Shot Mr. Burns?"
